In our own environment, we can


regulate EMF, says Iowan Camilla Rees, founder of the educational peti- tion website ElectromagneticHealth. org and Campaign for Radiation Free Schools on Facebook; she is the co-author of Public Health SOS: The Shadow Side of the Wireless Revolu- tion and Morgan’s cell phone report. Says Rees, “You can buy a meter, avoid using cordless phones and baby


monitors, and change your cell phone behavior. The harmful effects of cell phones decrease with distance; just by holding the cell phone six inches from your head, there is a 10,000-fold reduc- tion of risk.”

Ways to Reduce Risk


Although electromagnetic field (EMF) activity vibrates all around us, there are simple ways to reduce adverse health effects in daily indoor environments.


Computers 4 Hardwire all Internet connections instead of using Wi-Fi.


4 Power a laptop using a three-prong grounded plug and then plug in a separate, hardwired keyboard (this minimizes both the exposure to wireless radiation and the effects from the laptob battery’s magnetic field).


4 Use a grounding mouse pad to minimize effects of the electric field from the computer.


4 Don’t position any laptop or tablet computer on the lap.


General 4 Don’t live within 1,500 feet of a cell tower.


4 Use battery-powered LCD alarm clocks (not LED), keeping them several feet away from the body.


4 Don’t use an electric blanket.


4 Turn off all wireless devices before bedtime and generally minimize usage at other times.


Phones


4 Replace cordless phones with corded landlines or use cordless phones only when needed; otherwise, unplug them.


4 Never hold the cell phone directly against the head or body. Use the speaker- phone function, other hands-free device or another device that meets the Environmental Health Trust guidelines at Tinyurl.com/CellPhoneUsageTips.


4 Protect children, pregnant women and men that want to become fathers. Sperm are especially vulnerable. Children absorb twice as much radiation as adults.


4 Be wary of a weak signal. Phones work harder and emit more radiation when the signal is weak or blocked.


4 Don’t sleep with a cell phone nearby. Place it several feet away from the bed or across the room, turn it off or put it in airplane mode.
