Electrosmog from Computers and Laptops
"Electromagnetic pollution (or EMF pollution) is a term
given to all the man-made electromagnetic fields (EMFs) of
various
frequencies, which fill our homes, workplaces and public
spaces.
When we call something in our environment a pollutant, we are implying that it
is somehow harmful to nature and to ourselves"
You probably are reading this on a computer. Who doesn’t
use a computer today? I happily live without a cell phone
but I’d find it very hard to get by without using
a computer.In fact, you probably spend many hours a day
in front of a computer at work or home. And that exposes
you to potential health risks from EMFs emanating from
both your computer itself and your monitor.
EMFs and Radiation from Your Computer
Computers
are not as harmless as they might seem.
Your computer, whether it is a desktop or a laptop, emits
EMFs. The closer you are to the computer, the stronger
the electromagnetic field. Electromagnetic fields (EMFs)
don’t only come from your computer screen. The electronics
inside your computer generate a powerful EMF. The main
low-frequency emitters inside your computer case are the
power supply, and the disc drive motors. The power supply
generates a constant EMF. The disc drive only generates
an EMF when it is busy reading or writing data, which is
pretty much all the time if you are using your computer.
Just because the EMF only extends 18 iniches does not
mean it is weak or harmless. Right at the source, the EMF
might be very strong, perhaps 40 or 50 milligauss (mG).
A borderline safe level is 1 mG
"Exposure to emf fields,
cause nerve and muscle stimulation and changes
in nerve cell excitability in the central nervous
system." |
External drives generate as much EMR as those
inside a computer
Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) produce some of the
largest EMFs found in the office
Routers, modems and network hubs and switches – if
used wirelessly will produce a powerful radio-frequency
EMF which extends for many meters. If they are used in
wired mode, they still produce low-frequency radiation
Transformers and charger units for all of the above (and
also for anything else) produce a low-frequency EMF which
can be powerful, especially with older units.
In tests It has been found that laptops do not
necessarily emit higher levels of radiation than
desktops. EMF emissions vary from brand to brand
and can even vary between different models of the
same brand.
• The only way to know for sure your exposure levels is to measure with
an EMF meter. To get a complete picture you need to measure the RF radiation
levels, magnetic fields and electric fields, which usually means buying several
meters. Start by buying a basic EMF meter.

Close Proximity
of EMFs
All computers emit radiation or electromagnetic fields
(EMFs) on many different frequencies. These EMFs can be
extremely harmful to your health. Cancer and other serious
diseases have been linked to these exposures – studies
indicate pregnant women and small children are particularly
vulnerable.
Potential long-term effects
"Much of the scientific
research examining long-term risks from ELF magnetic
field exposure has focused on childhood leukaemia.
In 2002, IARC published a monograph classifying
ELF magnetic fields as "possibly carcinogenic
to humans". This classification is used
to denote an agent for which there is limited
evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and less
than sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity
in experimental animals (other examples include
coffee and welding fumes). This classification
was based on pooled analyses of epidemiological
studies demonstrating a consistent pattern of
a two-fold increase in childhood leukaemia associated
with average exposure to residential power-frequency
magnetic field above 0.3 to 0.4 µT. The
Task Group concluded that additional studies
since then do not alter the status of this classification."

It’s been shown that EMF strength decreases
with distance. Studies have shown that exposure above two
milliGauss (mG) can begin to harm biological organisms.
At a distance of three feet, you probably are above that
level of exposure. If you are four inches or less away – such
as when you are holding your laptop on your lap – your
exposure might be as high as 20 mG. This level of exposure
has been linked to many problems, from fatigue to immune
suppression to cancer.
Is Computer
Radiation Damaging Your Health?
Computers today generate both low-frequency
and radio-frequency EMR. Both types of radiation are potentially
harmful – even the World Health Organisation now
calls them possible carcinogens (i.e. they may cause cancer).
In fact, this radiation has been linked with many serious
diseases:
Asthma
Alzheimers
Cancer
Depression
Heart Disease
Hormone imbalances
Damage to nerves, immune system and reproductive systems
Laptop Radiation & Male Infertility The use of laptops (especially
when situated on the lap near the reproductive organs) has been connected
to male infertility (Journal of Human Reproduction). Theories why include
the heat from the machine itself on the scrotum, or radiation from the
EMF at such a close distance.
There are five major sources
of EMF exposure that we are surrounded by on a
daily basis and they are 1.Electric fields (emanating
from anything containing electricity including
lamps, wiring, computers ,
outlets, electrical appliances)
2.Magnetic fields (a major source is the main power meter for the
house, also electric clock radios) 3.Power lines (both above and
underground)
4.Metal plumbing (older metal plumbing carries a current)
5.Wireless communications (including cell towers, cell phones,
wireless routers, cordless phones). |
Emergency
Room Physician Discusses Electrohypersensitivity
Symptoms of EMF Exposure
Symptoms of frequent and prolonged EMF exposure are often
dismissed as being caused by stress, overwork, or just
getting older. These include
Headaches
Tiredness
Sleep disturbances
Concentration and memory disorders
Dizziness
Skin prickling, itching, burning or flushing sensations on the face or
elsewhere
Uncomfortable, dry or swollen mucous membranes in the throat, ears or
sinuses
Muscle and joint pains
Heart palpitations
Many people work with their laptop actually on their laps,
in trains, planes, or just at home. This is the way to
get maximum EMF exposure, especially to the reproductive
organs.
Whether you are electrosensitive
or just eager to take protective measures to protect
you and your family
Many people feel so overwhelmed by this issue
of EMR that they just give up on it. They think that it
really is not possible to live in the modern world without
being exposed to radiation from one source or another,
all day long.
But with
a little knowledge, it is possible,
Any source of EMR creates a field of energy around it,
called the electromagnetic field, or EMF. This field is
strongest right at the source and gets progressively weaker
the further away you are from the source — like heat
from a fire
The good news is that electric fields exposure can be
helped fairly easily by using Computer Radiation Suppressor
on or near your computer equipment – you can expect
a reduction in many symptoms and a gradual reduction in
other symptoms simply by using the Computer Radiation Suppressor.
