How would you like this ‘mini’ cell tower parked outside your front door or your bedroom window or on a pole in your backyard? And you cannot have it removed, thanks to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission!
That little monster will pump out 5G wireless networks at speeds consumers literally may die for, as the amount of microwaves 5G will be pumping out will be ‘astronomical’—anything in the ranges from 6 GHz to 100 GHz and higher!
However, 5 G applications will require unlocking of new spectrum bands in higher frequency ranges above 6 GHz to 100 GHz and beyond, utilizing submillimeter and millimeter waves– to allow ultra-high rates of data to be transmitted in the same amount of time as compared with previous deployments of microwave radiation. [1]
Consumers, high tech addicts and microwave tech aficionados—here’s something you probably don’t know nor care to know about right now other than your apparent ‘need’ for faster downloads, but you had better become acquainted with since it definitely will impact your life—maybe more dramatically than your not having high-speed Wi-Fi!
Consumers need to understand and also factor into their consciousness certain reproducible facts about microwave technologies, especially that microwaves are not natural energies produced by Nature; they are man-made human-tissue-debilitating energy waves that impact all bodily functions and tissues, whether you believe that or not, since any type of energy produces effects!
Currently, I am working on producing an ‘anthology-like’ article containing verified factual research regarding microwave damage to human physiology at much lower levels of exposures than 5G, which may astound readers. It will be quite a resource to have, so look for it.
The KEY issue to understand regarding microwaves is the velocity at which they oscillate per second!
Some background information
The “G’s” refer to the latest generations of microwave technology, most of which operate in the Gigahertz (GHz) ranges. As we read above, 5G will operate in the 6 GHz to 100 GHz – and above – ranges!
Now, here’s what consumers really need to understand, process and accept about high tech 5G Wi-Fi:
One Gigahertz (GHz) is one billion oscillations per second!
Now do some math and see if your calculator has enough capacity to give you an answer. Multiply 6 GHz by one billion; what do you get as oscillations per second? Multiply 100 GHz by one billion and what do you get?
High Tech Consumers, the human body never has been subjected to such tremendous microwave velocities per second! The U.S. military is using millimeter waves (MMWs) range technology, as it is called, as their “war weapons.”
Research and studies published in respectable peer review journals indicate grave concerns for what can happen at DNA and cellular levels, especially to the human brain because of its water/fat content and human eyeballs, which have a similar tissue consistency as the human brain!
Currently, ocular melanomas [2] are occurring in college students, which has medicine stumped [3] as to why such an ‘anomaly’ is happening.
Well, it probably is happening because colleges and school premises often are dotted with cell towers and other high tech antenna arrays (paying ‘nice’ monthly rental fees), which impact human tissue, especially in the young.
Medical ‘science’ seemingly refuses to accept non-thermal radiation damage due to consensus BS science put out by various microwave industry trade associations who basically act like “tails wagging dogs” with regard to non-thermal radiation adverse health effects. They claim there is no such thing as “non-thermal radiation adverse health effects”!
Well, I suggest doubters go back to the research the microwave industry funded and performed wherein they found 32% of their research studies confirmed non-thermal radiation adverse health effects, and still the trade associations will not accept it. Why? Because admitting that would require such inordinately expensive safeguards be put into place, the cell phone industry and other microwave industry suppliers and operators could not afford them and probably would be put out of business!
Here is some information about Dr. Henry Lai’s [PhD] work, which ought to get high tech consumers thinking about just how important it is to have high-speed 5G Wi-Fi at work, in your home and at the nearest café.
Right now as consumers read this article, they are not aware of all the Gigahertz oscillations they constantly are being exposed to from any wearable tech, cell phones, AMI Smart Meters, LAN or HAN networks, or any products or services that send and/or receive voice, data, photos, etc.
However, I’d like to bring to your attention Verizon has done an about face with regard to installing 5G “small cell towers” in Sebastopol, California.
The EMF Safety Network sent a 10-page letter to the Sebastopol Planning Commission which, if you need reputable science regarding small cell towers you should print and keep, apparently made the difference in Verizon’s decision. Personally, I like the EMF’s description of a small cell tower as “a junk yard on a pole.”
Loss of property value due to having one of those junk yards outside, or on your property, is something everyone needs to consider seriously, i.e., is faster Wi-Fi downloads worth the loss of thousands of dollars on your home’s value?
Check out EMF’s comments in “Peer-reviewed published science shows wireless radiation harms public health” and “Proximity to RFR antennas is harmful.” Humans are not alone in the damage; read how RFRs damage Nature!
EMF’s Conclusion in its letter to the planning commission stated,
The telecommunication industry’s unbounded profit motive should never outweigh the safety and well being of the public and our environment! Communications are safer using wired and corded connections.
However, that may not be what the microwave industries want as it probably will cost them megabucks for more infrastructure, something 5G small cell towers greatly reduce in costs.

Since the controversial introduction of smart meters in the City of Johannesburg in 2015, many residents have complained of incorrect readings and meters running, even when the power is out.
But that said, could there be a darker side to these ‘convenient’ meters?
According to many, including experts and concern groups, the answer is “Yes”.
According to EMF Safety Network’s website, “Military studies show [that] pulsed radio frequency, which leads to radio frequency radiation (RFR), which is radiated by certain devices including smart meters, can cause serious health problems, including tinnitus, memory loss and seizures. Thousands of studies link biological effects to RFR exposure, including increased cancer risk, damage to the nervous system, adverse reproductive effects, DNA damage, and more. The top public health official in Santa Cruz County California prepared a report, confirming smart meters pose a health risk”.
Another expert, Dr David Carpenter, a graduate of Harvard Medical School and a physician who has worked in the area of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and public health for over 18 years, has also warned utility companies that are forcing smart meters down the throats of their customers.
“Carpenter adamantly insists that there is no evidence whatsoever that smart meters are in any way safe for human beings. He goes on to say that there is, in fact, ample evidence that demonstrates ‘convincingly and consistently’ that exposure to radio frequency radiation (RFR) at elevated levels for long periods of time increases the risk of cancer, damages the nervous system, and adversely affects the reproductive organs”, according to TheHealthyHomeEconomist.com

Long hours of exposure to the cell phone in the trouser pocket impacts the health of testes and quality of sperm in men.
Keeping the cell phone in front pockets for over 4 hours daily is found to be associated with the percentage of immature sperms. (Photo: Pexels)
Cell phones have become a necessity in today’s life. Unfortunately, the same cell phone which gives you social media updates and sports highlights impacts your reproductive health. The electromagnetic radiation emitted from cell phone negatively affects the sperm count and its quality in men including some other major health risks like cancer and poor mental being.
Manas Ganguly, Founder, Brightsandz Clean Tech explains that cell phone radiation is one of the most dangerous and invisible forms of pollution created by technology causing considerable damage to reproductive organs. The radio waves emitted from cell phones are non-ionizing; however long hours of exposure to the cell phone in the trouser pocket impacts the health of testes and quality of sperm in men.
This damage is believed to occur in men who keep their cell phone in close proximity to men’s lower halves of the body. Often kept in the front pocket directly exposes men’s reproductive organs to radiation.
According to a study conducted by Cleveland Clinic Foundation of Ohio (the US), use of cell phones decreases semen quality by reducing sperm count, motility, viability and normal morphology. Keeping the cell phone in front pockets for over 4 hours daily is found to be associated with the percentage of immature sperms. Moreover, a significant change is believed to damage the DNA impairing the fertility in men. Several researchers have also found that 14 per cent of couples in middle and high-income group have experienced difficulty in conceiving.
The international institute of population sciences, Mumbai in 2010 released a stark study highlighting the fact that there had been a 30 per cent increase in infertility rates in India in a decadal time frame (2000-10). It also alluded that 1 in 5 Indian couples in their productive prime suffer infertility.
The radiation emitted from cell phones affect brain activity which also results in sleep disturbances, headache, and fatigue and reduces the production of melatonin.
How to reduce the impact
Those planning to conceive must keep a check on their cell phone habits in terms of usage and proximity. Moving the cell phone to the back pocket or keeping it above the belt is also considered as a better option in reducing the impact of radiation on reproductive organs. Cutting the duration of cell phone usage limits the exposure on brain and keeps the mental being healthy.
Limiting the use of cell phone doesn’t mean that one has to cut himself off from all devices of communication, else he will become infertile. But the main point is to be aware of where is he storing the phone. One can also develop the habit of keeping the cell phone in a bag instead of their pockets to restrict the exposure of mobile phone radiation.
In fact, exposure to cell phone radiation is also harmful to women trying to conceive. The long-term exposure and its proximity affect the ovarian activity in women leading to their infertility. The electromagnetic fields released are very well known for affecting the growth of the fetus. Many doctors and experts also advise women to limit their exposure to cell phone, especially during their pregnancy to have a healthy baby.
Autism cases in India have grown 3 times over the past decade as per studies, researchers and reports from Centre for disease control 2002, 2012. India contributes 40 per cent to the new Autism cases in the world. Exposure to EMF radiation / RF from laptops, cell phones, Wi-Fi and other personal devices are known to be key detriments to the mental health of a child in its pre-term and neo-natal days.
Many telecommunication companies have issued advisories to their consumers to maintain a minimum distance of 5mm between their cell phone and body in order to reduce the impact of radiation. Some companies also suggest increasing this distance to 30 mm to have a healthy mental and reproductive being.

Marc Alessi wrote a letter in the March 16 issue of the Great Neck News, gushing over the upcoming implementation of a new, powerful version of a wireless network, known as 5G. Unfortunately, his presentation failed to mention the potential negative health consequences of the system.
On Sept. 13, 2017, more than 180 scientists and doctors from 35 countries signed a petition recommending a moratorium on the roll-out of 5G systems for telecommunication until potential hazards for human health and the environment have been fully investigated by scientists independent from industry.
5G will substantially increase exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields on top of the 2G, 3G, and 4G Wi-Fi networks for telecommunications already in place.
Given that RF-EMF has been proven to be harmful for humans and the environment, scientists are fearful that exposure to 5G systems will substantially increase the health hazard, over and above what we are already experiencing.
A large number of peer-reviewed scientific reports have demonstrated harm to human health from EMFs, including a recent study by the National Toxicology Program. These results support human epidemiological studies on RF radiation and brain tumor risk.
5G networks are generally considered to operate within the band of spectrum between 6 GHz and 100 GHz, also known as the millimeter wave band.
These are much higher frequencies than the 2G, 3G, or 4G networks currently in place, and have never before been used in conjunction with everyday consumer products. Because of the tremendous capacity of these 5G networks, companies will be able to link more and more devices to one another wirelessly.
Such connected devices make up what is called “The Internet of Things.”
Soon we’ll be able to access many of our appliances at home via our cell phones or computers, as an example. As great as this may sound, it means that we will be completely awash in the waves that connect these devices, and by the electromagnetic fields generated by them.
Another related use of the 5G networks is in “Smart City” systems. These are wireless networks that connect many objects in a community, such as the streetlights, cameras, audio surveillance equipment, billboards, garbage pails, etc.
As part of the LED streetlight installation in the Village of Great Neck, Mayor Pedram Bral authorized the installation of a Smart City system.
There is now a wireless receiver on top of every one of the 800 light poles in the Village. This will make it possible for someone at a remote location to dim the lights as needed. Ostensibly, this is the major purpose of this very expensive network.
My concern is twofold: 1. even with the system in place, the result is that we now are bathed in RF-EMFs to a greater degree than we had been previously; 2. it is likely that in the future, the system will be upgraded to a 5G system, bringing with it even more potential risks to health and to the environment.
The issue of RF-EMFs goes way beyond Great Neck Village. State legislation is now on track to ease the installation of 5G systems by the major telecommunications giants in this country, leaving localities no control over the rollout.

We take wireless technology for granted, even though it is basically “magic.” And that perceived magic has led to myths and fallacies that need to be dispelled.
Wireless, or radio if you prefer, is a strange and wonderful phenomenon. Voice, music, video, and data miraculously move almost instantaneously from one place to another invisibly through the air. How could that be? Our entire environment is an invisible fog of thousands of electromagnetic waves. The whole phenomenon has been amazing to me since I was a kid. Even though I understand it I am still in awe of the technology.
That said, wireless technology is a complex subject. It has taken me most of my life time to learn it. And I still don’t know it all. But to non-wireless engineers, radio must seem an enigma. There’s much to get accustomed to and understand. What follows are 11 myths about wireless you may not know but should.
1. Wireless was invented by Marconi.
No, it was not. I would give my vote to Heinrich Hertz, who should get more recognition for his earliest demonstration of the concept. But we do use his name as the unit of frequency measurement. As for Marconi, he was a major contributor to the technology and is probably best known for putting the theory into practice. Marconi engineered the early radio equipment and demonstrated its capabilities. The real inventor of radio was Tesla, who did little to advance the science beyond a few clever demonstrations. Tesla was posthumously awarded the U.S. patent in 1943.
2. The Federal Communications Commission is the primary communications regulator.
The FCC implements the rules and regulations regarding most commercial and personal wireless products and applications. They manage the spectrum and define all kinds of guidelines like power, antennas, bandwidth, modulation, and interference. But they aren’t the only U.S. regulatory agency. The other agency that most of you have not encountered is the National Telecommunication and Information Administration (NTIA). The NTIA is the manager and regulator of all government and military wireless spectrum and equipment. It’s a division of the Department of Commerce. They work closely with the FCC to rule the airwaves.
3. Radio waves work like magnetic induction.
Not so. A radio wave is really a combination of an electric field at a right angle to a magnetic field. The two travel together in a direction perpendicular to both fields. As they propagate from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna, they stay together. Essentially the fields break away from the antenna, or radiate, and then actually support and rejuvenate one another along the way. The math describing that process was spelled out as far back as 1873 by James Clerk Maxwell. This signal that’s radiated is called the far field. It’s the real radio wave.
The field close to the antenna, typically within one wavelength, is called the near field. Transmission is more by magnetic field than by combined magnetic and electric fields. The near field signal is non-radiative. The near field is really inductive coupling that occurs between the primary and secondary windings of an air core transformer. The near field isn’t the real radio wave.
4. The propagation of a radio wave is basically the same for all wireless applications.
No way. Radio signals act differently depending on their frequency. Low-frequency signals in the 50- to 3000-kHz range travel by ground or surface wave. The vertically polarized signal hugs the ground and is mostly dissipated after a few hundred miles.
AM broadcast stations represent one example. Signals in the 3- to 30-MHz range travel by sky wave. The signals essentially are refracted by the ionosphere back to earth. Depending on the angle of radiation, time of day, and the specific ionosphere layer encountered, the signal could travel by skipping long distances nearly around the world. Frequencies over 30 MHz and up into the mmWave range travel by direct line of sight from antenna to antenna. These signals are usually reflected or absorbed, so range is generally limited.
5. We have totally run out of frequency spectrum.
Not completely, but we’re working toward that it seems. Most of the so-called “good” spectrum (~500 MHz to 6 GHz) is pretty much consumed, but plenty of spectrum exists at the higher frequencies beyond about 30 GHz.
Some say there’s a spectrum crisis as more wireless products and services are developed. One contributor to the shortage is the growing Internet of Things (IoT) movement. With billions of new devices coming on line, spectrum usage is something to worry about. But it’s the cellular industry that lusts after spectrum the most. The FCC hosts auctions to sell off available chunks of spectrum when they become available. Billions of dollars are collected.
6. Radio broadcasting is dead.
You may have gotten the impression that AM, FM, and TV broadcasting were on their way out thanks to all the internet streaming of music and video. But it’s not. While the number of AM stations has declined a bit, FM is growing. Satellite radio is also healthy. Furthermore, almost 20% of the U.S. population gets its TV by over-the-air (OTA) broadcasts. This includes satellite TV broadcasting. On top of that, short wave broadcasting is still around; not so much in the U.S., but it’s still big in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and other more remote parts of the world.
7. The most widely used wireless standard is Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi is certainly a heavily used wireless standard. But in terms of sheer volume of radios in use, Bluetooth is probably the more widespread. It’s in all cell phones, most cars and trucks, headphones, speakers, retail beacons, and a mixed bag of other applications. It takes two chips to implement any Bluetooth applications. That’s why billions of Bluetooth radio chips are sold annually.
8. Cell phones give you a brain tumor.
That myth has been around ever since the first cell phones emerged in the late 1980s. It’s been studied multiple times, and the outcome is that cell phones don’t cause brain tumors. Perhaps if you held the phone to your head eight or so hours a day, you may get brain damage. But today, instead the process of holding the phone to your ear and head for a voice call has been replaced by holding the phone in your hands in front of you while you text, read email, or watch a YouTube video. No cancer.
9. Wireless data transfer is always faster than wired data transfer.
Not true. Wired data communications say by Ethernet or fiber optics, is very solid and usually faster than wireless. Ethernet can do 100 Gb/s and optical is now doing up to 400 Gb/s using PAM4. With a solid link, data can be faster because it doesn’t have to deal with all of the free space link and path problems of wireless.
Wireless free space path loss is very high; there’s always noise and interference that limits the data rate. But wireless has come a long way over the years with error correction, multichannel modulation like OFDM, MIMO, and phased arrays. As a result, wireless begins to approach wired speeds. Under ideal conditions, wireless data can hit levels of 10 to 100 Gb/s.
10. Rain and snow make satellite TV, phones, and data services unreliable.
You have probably heard of this one but it not true. Actually, at some frequencies in older systems, rain does attenuate the signal. But today, most components, equipment, and systems compensate for it with good link margins. We would not be using so many satellites if the coverage were iffy. What would we do without things like GPS, worldwide sat phones, space telescopes, and military surveillance?
11. Millimeter waves will never be practical.
Maybe that was true in the past, but today mmWaves are widely used thanks to the availability of semiconductor devices to generate and process these signals. Millimeter waves cover the 30- to 300-GHz range. All sorts of systems use them, especially radar and satellite. The 802.11ad WiGig WLAN products at 60 GHz are now available. Automotive radars use 77 GHz. And many of the forthcoming 5G cellular and fixed wireless access systems use mmWaves. Researchers are working on terahertz wave technology now.
There should be a wireless appreciation day to celebrate its existence. How about every day?
Today we are surrounded by a wide variety of high frequency electromagnetic fields. Radio, television and mobile communication technologies transmit a multitude of high frequency signals. These fields are useful for modern communication, but can adversely affect other electronic devices. Conductor tracks and wires of the devices act as antennas and the coupled electromagnetic energy can, depending on the field strength and circuit, negatively alter the performance characteristics of a device or directly destroy components. For example, we all know the “crack” of radios, when a mobile phone is nearby. In case of power supplies, the negative impact of the electromagnetic field could express itself in form of a drop in the output voltage.
To prevent this from happening, the EMC standard IEC 61000-4-3 regulates tests regarding the immunity of devices against high frequency electromagnetic fields. This article describes the general regulations of the standard, gives an overview on electromagnetic fields with their effects and names some measures to increase the immunity of electronic devices.
What are high frequency electromagnetic fields
High frequency electromagnetic fields are located in the electromagnetic spectrum in the frequency range between 100 kilohertz (kHz) and 300 gigahertz (GHz). They are generally radiated from an antenna and can transmit energy and information over long distances. Due to the wide range of possible uses of high-frequency electromagnetic fields, especially for modern communication today, (e.g. radio, television, mobile communications, cordless cellphones, WLAN and Bluetooth applications) people are surrounded by a multitude of different transmission devices that operate with different transmission powers and frequencies. The frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic fields are linked by the propagation velocity (in free space this is the speed of light c) and describe the wave character of the fields. At high frequencies f, the wavelengths λ (lambda) are small and correspondingly larger at low frequencies. When propagated in free space, the wavelengths are between 3 kilometers and 1 millimeter.[1] λ=c/f
Table: Frequency bands and wavelengths
Unit of measurement of the electric field strength
The intensity or strength of the fields is indicated either in the form of the electric field strength (unit: volts per meter, V / m), or the magnetic field strength (unit: amps per meter, A / m), or in the form of power flux density (unit: watts per square meter, W / m2).[1]
Propagation of high-frequency electromagnetic fields
As the distance from a transmitter increases, the field strength decreases rapidly. In free space, the power flux density decreases with the square of the distance, which means, with the double distance the flux density decreases to a quarter. Because many antennas radiate with certain preferred directions due to their design, the intensity at locations in the vicinity of a transmitter can be very different, despite identical distances to the source. As a rule, it is not possible to deduce the field strengths at a particular location alone from the distance. High-frequency electromagnetic fields can also be reflected or absorbed by objects that are in the direction of propagation. Which mechanism predominates depends, among other things, on the material properties of the respective object. Therefore, the propagation of high-frequency fields in the real environment often differs significantly from the simple case given above; the propagation in free space.[1]
Effect on humans
Humans contain many electrically charged particles and polar molecules. Although polar molecules, such as the water molecule, are electrically neutral as a whole, they carry a negative charge at one end and a positive charge at the other. Electric and magnetic fields exert a force on electrically charged or polar particles to move. In a high-frequency electromagnetic field, the particles move very fast in time with the frequency. They rub together and heat is created. If the fields are very strong, entire cells can move due to the force effect. They align themselves in the field or migrate. Such non-thermal effects cannot be triggered by fields of radio applications, since their field strength is not sufficient for this.
Decisive for the biological effect of high-frequency fields is the energy absorbed by the body. The basis for this is the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR, unit of measure: Watts per kilogram, W / kg). It indicates the power (energy per time) absorbed per kilogram of tissue. If the body is only heated locally, the blood can dissipate the extra heat. If the whole body is heated, the skin is supplied with more blood and the heat is released by evaporation on the skin surface (sweating). Health effects can be expected if certain thresholds are exceeded and the body’s thermoregulation is disturbed.[1]

A real estate transaction is typically a major financial investment and future commitment. Dealing with the bank and loan funding; coordinating inspections with realtors, professionals and current owners; the endless planning and expectations; and the sales pressure in general can be exciting but also overwhelming. Electromagnetic fields (EMF) have traditionally not been part of a due diligence real estate inspection and evaluation. This has changed in the last few years. Concerns about potential health impacts have brought up questions about significant EMF and radio frequency (RF) sources at the property, building or in its proximity.
There are so many considerations and decisions to make; does the location work for the commute to work and the children’s school; in what style should the new building be furnished; is remodeling needed; how far can we stretch the budget – the list does on and on. One really important question is: Does the building fulfill our needs for a safe and healthy home or office? We don’t want to find out after the expense of moving that the new building has elevated EMF or RF fields in sensitive areas such as bedrooms, children’s play areas or our office space.
The best time to prevent surprises later on is during the initial inspection period before all paperwork is signed and the purchase is completed. During this inspection period, different professional trades are evaluating the property and building(s) for possible shortcomings such as building defects, faulty electrical installations, roof failures, etc. However, these inspections are not designed to determine if a building or property presents low or high EMF or RF environments.
Many indoor environmental and public health research professionals feel that EMF/RF evaluations and measurements should be a part of a healthy building inspection. While the scientific community is still divided, many scientists and institutions recommend “prudent avoidance” as the safest approach. An EMF/RF evaluation at the start of the real estate transaction before remodeling begins is the best and most cost effective time to implement possible shielding methods.
Only trained and experienced professionals with the appropriate and calibrated equipment can determine the exposure in the areas of concern. AC-magnetic fields, commonly referred to as EMF, can be hidden and only detected using appropriate EMF testing services protocols and professional equipment. Certain electrical installations and lighting features, or wiring errors that are code violations can cause elevated AC-magnetic fields. These elevated EMF fields and the possible code violations often go undetected in regular home inspections that solely focus on functionality.
Why is it important for you to know about magnetic fields?
Our indoor environment has changed dramatically in the past ten years. Many wireless devices are impacting our indoor environment such as cellular antennas, TV and radio broadcasting transmitter, radar, wireless router and access points. Many are added all the time, such as video game systems, , wireless printers, baby monitors, security systems, wireless devices and appliances controlled with the latest mobile phone app. This trend will only continue. Do you believe that our recently and dramatically changed indoor environment has no effect on our health and development of our children or performance and well being of employees? Or do you feel we should be cautious, and choose to limit our personal exposure in areas where we spend a lot of time such as sleeping areas, children’s play areas and our work areas. Many organizations and countries outside the US recommend lower long-term exposure limits and precautionary action levels. Why is that so? Are they more sensitive individuals or are we unaware of the potential dangers?
At EMF & RF Solutions, we don’t speculate. We assess an area using scientific methods to provide you with the information to make an educated decision and exercise your right to choose what you want to be exposed to in your own home, building or office.
We can help create a low EMF and RF environment in your future building. The recipe to a successful outcome is following a systematic protocol in assessment, designing the mitigation plan if necessary, and verifying the achievement of the design goals. The steps for a low EMF/RF assessment, consultation and possible development of a mitigation plan consist of:
Assessment of low and high frequency background levels present on the property
Assessment of low and high frequency levels present in the building
Develop and design of a possible mitigation according to your benchmarks for sensitive areas
Consult on prudent placement in all sensitive areas
Design shielding concepts as indicated
Retain a qualified electrician to verify proper electrical installation and grounding system if indicated
Shielding implementation by qualified craftsmen
Measurements to confirm compliance to your benchmarks
Certification of the site or building

Study: Mom’s Exposure During Pregnancy Raises Kids’ Asthma Risk By Brenda Goodman, MA
Aug. 1, 2011 — Researchers seeking to explain the rising number of asthma cases in children have fingered a new suspect: electromagnetic fields (EMFs), energy that can’t been seen or felt that is generated by household appliances, electronic devices, cars, and power lines.
In a study, they found that babies born to women who are exposed to stronger EMFs during pregnancy had more than triple the risk of developing asthma compared to babies born to women exposed to weaker EMFs.
In other words, about 13% of children born to women in the group with the lowest EMF exposures developed asthma compared to about 33% of children born to women who had high EMF exposures.
“That’s a striking figure,” says David Savitz, PhD, a professor of community health and obstetrics and gynecology at Brown University in Providence, R.I. “That magnitude of association we don’t see very often. If it was correct, and that’s a big ‘if,’ that would be really startling.”
Savitz, who has studied the health effects of electromagnetic fields but was not involved in the research, says that while the finding is interesting, there’s no reason to give up using a hair dryer or microwave just yet.
He says that unlike contaminants like cigarette smoke or lead that are known to be dangerous, there’s little evidence that low-frequency EMFs, the kind measured in the study, are harmful.
“This has been very, very thoroughly studied, and it really is questionable whether it causes any health effects at any reasonable level,” Savitz tells WebMD. “It’s certainly not something that falls into the category of a known hazard.”
But Savitz and others acknowledge that all research has to start somewhere.

One really important question is: Does the building fulfill our needs for a safe and healthy home or office? We don’t want to find out after the expense of moving that the new building has elevated EMF or
