Ideally, use mobile phones for emergencies only. Store them in ‘airplane’ or ‘flight’ mode (with all wireless services disabled) and switched off. They can also be used to connect to the internet via wired Ethernet adaptors whilst in airplane mode. If you feel you must use them wirelessly then use speakerphone or an air tube headset.
Swap your wireless internet for a hardwired system by using wired Ethernet connections (adaptors are available for tablets also). Disable all wireless services on your router as well as your devices. You can reduce emissions from computers by disabling the wireless card in the device manager, by using airplane/flight mode, or by turning off wireless services (e.g. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) in network settings.
Swap your cordless landline for a corded speakerphone. If you must have wireless capability, get an ECO DECT phone with a good quality speakerphone, so that it can be used away from your brain, and always use ECO mode.
Request a hardwired (non-RFR emitting) meter to ensure you and your neighbours are not subject to additional wireless radiation.
Household exposures may come e.g. from wireless: baby monitors and security systems, headphones/earphones, smart speakers and virtual assistants, smart TVs, TV boxes, and sticks, media players and printers, games consoles and controllers, and smart watches and fitness monitors – among various other ‘smart’ appliances, IoT devices, and wearables. In most cases, there are hardwired alternatives that can be used instead, or flight modes that disable emissions when desired.
Emissions from publicly placed antennas and neighbours’ homes might be possible to shield against, but expert advice and metering is recommended to best help reduce exposures.
Improving awareness and education in your community can help to reduce exposure for everyone via simple measures such as disabling all emissions overnight. RF radiation was classified in 2011 as a Group 2B possible human carcinogen and evidence of toxicity since then has grown, so we hope you all support each other for a better night’s sleep
Use an Ethernet cable
To connect your computer to your router. Make sure you disable all radiofrequency emissions from both devices after doing this. You might want to use a radio-frequency radiation meter to check you have achieved this, as it can be hard to be sure otherwise.
RF meters vary in terms of sensitivity and frequencies measured: check with the vendor it is suitable for your use.
Hardwire your phone or tablet
You can use the internet on some phones via an Ethernet adapter. Make sure you then put it in flight mode and disable all RF emissions such as Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, 5G. You can still receive calls/texts in this mode via internet phone apps such as Skype, Whatsapp, or Facebook calling
Speaker phones
Enable you to remain mobile whilst speaking and without RF emissions close to your head.
Air tube headsets
Allow you to keep devices away from your body, which can significantly lower the intensity of radiation that you’re exposed to. Remember to keep the device as far as possible from your body to ensure that exposure is minimised.
The golden rule with wireless emissions: distance is your friend.
Use this as much as possible, and remember to ensure that individual wireless functions/services are also disabled.
