Electromagnetic Radiation

We are constantly immersed in a sea of radiation. Common issues arising from this are fatigue, mental impairment, memory loss and infertility.

The 5 major areas of hazard are electrical, magnetic, dirty power(radio frequency or electrosmog), ELF (extra low frequency) and high frequency (especially microwave) radiation.

We thoroughly detect, measure and provide recommendations for all these areas to significantly reduce sources of electromagnetic radiation in your environment.

Environomics can offer specialist solutions to help those affected with health issues arising from sensitivities.

ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION AND YOUR HEALTH

 © Karen Edwards and Helen Murphy www.environomics.com.au

Life has become busier for most without a doubt. This has lead to the invention of many “modern conveniences” to save us precious time and to make life easier. However in this process we have at times created issues that are severely affecting our health without realising it.

Many people have a hard time fathoming that something that they cannot see, touch, smell, taste or hear can harm them so much. However, we are constantly immersed in a sea of Electromagnetic Radiation and it can affect us markedly. These areas need to be identified, measured and remediated to significantly reduce sources of EMR in your environment.

Electromagnetic fields are found in a vast array of applications such as:

• Power lines
• Computers and wireless mouses
• Mobile phones and their masts
• Cordless phones
• Wireless internet
• Bluetooth
• Electric blankets
• Baby monitors

 “There have been many instances of harmful effects of electromagnetic fields from such seemingly innocuous devices as mobile phones, computers, power lines and domestic wiring. They include an increased risk of cancer, loss of fertility & unpleasant physiological symptoms.....”   This is the first sentence from Dr. Andrew Goldsworthy’s 2007 paper titled: What the power & telecom companies would prefer us not to know.¹

Common Symptoms of over exposure:  

• Fatigue

• Mental Impairment / Coherency problems      

• Joint pain    

• Burning, Reddening, Rash, Itch        

• Low hormone levels (melatonin, DHEA etc.)               

• Infertility problems   

• Heart palpitations

Electrical waves pass straight through our bodies and an electric current is generated within. This is how an aerial works – waves come in and electricity is generated. The electricity generated in our bodies, like all electric currents, goes to ground (if able) and, like all electric currents, takes the path of least resistance. Unfortunately, the path of least resistance is through our bodies. To travel through our bodies the waves use the 10% of our pathways that carry 90% of our traffic, rather like freeways in peak hour.  This 90% of our traffic consists of:

 • Hormones which help regulate the functions of the body

 • Antibodies which help fight disease

 • Neurotransmitters which carry messages around the body

Thus 90% of our bodily functions can be severely affected by these harmful electrical waves.

The effect of these microwaves can be explained using the analogy of putting a frog in water. If you put a frog in boiling water, it will jump out. However, if you put a frog in cold water and gradually heat the water, you can cook the frog because the frog's body will adjust to the slight changes in temperature and it will not notice it is being cooked². Using wireless broadband, Bluetooth, cordless phones, mobile phones & blackberry devices all use the microwave spectrum of radiation energy to work. This means that when we use them they are slowly cooking us as they heat up our cells without us being able to sense it until the symptoms start to appear.

In 1971 the US Government stated “Unless adequate monitoring and control based on fundamental understanding of biological effects are instituted in the near future, in the decades ahead, man may enter an era of energy pollution of the environment comparable to the chemical pollution of today.”²

The electromagnetic hazard was identified in 1971 – to what extent are you exposed today?

As we cannot see, touch, smell, taste or hear this radiation the only way to measure the levels are with a number of specific instruments designed for various types of radiation.

3 Electromagnetic Radiation Reduction Tips:

1. Remove any plugged in devices in and around sleeping areas; including electric blankets, waterbeds, extension cords and clock radios.

2. Check where your meter box is and don’t sit or sleep near here.

3. Do not have wireless emitting devices in the home. Yes, this means wireless internet too! These bring in and emit microwaves radiation which can pass through brick walls, so there is no escape for the body. If you must have them, turn them off when not in use.
