EMF Awareness
Should You Be Worried About EMF Exposure?
We're all used to the electronic conveniences of modern life. But few are aware of the hidden health risks presented by the devices we use everyday.
Our power lines, cellphones, microwaves, Wi-Fi routers, wireless devices, computers, and other appliances send out a stream of invisible energy waves. Electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) are produced anywhere electricity is used, including at home and in the workplace.
Some experts are concerned about potential health effects from these fields. But should we be worried?
While most researchers don’t believe most EMFs are dangerous, there are still some scientists who question the safety of EMF exposure. Many say there hasn’t been enough research into understanding whether EMFs are safe. Let’s take a closer look.
EMF From Wireless Devices
Wireless Safety Standards
EMFs occur naturally and also come from human-made sources, the main difference being natural EMF is non-polarized while man-made sources are polarized, i.e. forced to oscillate in a single plane unlike random oscillating and random orientation of non-polarized natural EMF.
Scientists and regulatory agencies generally agree that low-frequency natural occurring EMFs pose less danger to human health.
Researchers offer evidence that some danger may exist from long-term exposure to man-made polarized EMF, specifically to the nervous system, brain cognitive function, and even to DNA.
The FCC requires that all wireless communications devices sold in the United States meet minimum guidelines for safe human exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy.
For wireless devices designed for use near or against the body (cellphones, tablets, and other portable devices), FCC has set exposure limits in terms of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
Checking the legal and regulatory settings of most cell phone show what the SAR is but will recommend using the phones speaker function to maintain a safer distance from the radiation source.
Recent research has indicated the gap between current safety standards and where biological effects actually begin are large.
At MGNX, we stay up to speed with the latest scientific research and understand that safety standards and testing protocols can change as more is learned, so our motto is we rather be safe than sorry, all while keeping you stylish as well.
Using unique silver-thread fabric that create a Faraday Cage to block EMF radiation, similar to the metal screen in a microwave door, our products are the only activewear apparel that keep you protected.
