Managing Your Exposure

Electromagnetic radiation is everywhere in varying amounts. Electromagnetic fields are produced anywhere that energy currents are present. They surround us in very minute amounts, but nevertheless, they are there. The more radiation that is present, the higher your risk of potential health issues, including different types of cancers and neurological disorders. Each person is affected differently and may show different signs of exposure.

Exposure

We are exposed to electromagnetic radiation from a variety of sources. From the electricity in our homes to our cell phones and computers, we have electromagnetic radiation coming towards us from several different directions. While the exposure from the electrical system in our home is much less than what is released from our cell phones and computers, the totals add up over time and can continue to increase over time. The key is limiting our exposure in whatever ways we can.

Mitigating Your Risk

Mitigating your risk is essential. You rely on many of the sources of electromagnetic radiation to get through your day. The electrical system in your home provides the energy you need to live and function. Many of us can’t live without our cell phones and computers. There are ways you can lower your risk of exposure. EMF shields and barriers are available that can absorb the radiation and disperse it so that the effects are minimized

Cell Phone Exposure

We carry our cell phones everywhere. Sometimes, we carry them in our hands. Other times, we carry them in our pockets. There are several ways you can minimize your exposure to the electromagnetic radiation from your cell phone. Instead of actually carrying it in your hand, put it in your purse or computer bag. At night, avoid placing it on the nightstand by your bed. Put your phone on a charger in a different room. Put as much distance between you and your phone as possible.

Understanding the Risks

Constant exposure to electromagnetic radiation can result in mild headaches, skin irritations, and potentially various types of cancer. It’s important for you to understand what types of risks you are dealing with and what you can do to protect yourself. Take the time to learn where electromagnetic radiation comes from and how it affects your body. If you know its impacts, you can more effectively manage your risks.

What You Can Do

There are several things you can do to mitigate your risk of exposure to electromagnetic radiation. EMF barriers and shields many not fully block radiation, but they dramatically diminish its effects. Another way to protect yourself is to put distance between yourself and the source of the radiation. Put your cell phones down and step away from your computer for a little while. Know the sources of radiation in your home and office and position yourself a safe distance away.

Companies like Aires offer many different tools that will help you mitigate your risk of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation may be found in many places, but you can substantially reduce your risk of exposure by being observant and understanding how it affects you. Do your research and learn as much as you can about how electromagnetic radiation affects you. The more you know, the better off you will be when trying to protect yourself from any adverse effects.
