Radiofrequency Radiation Reduction How To?

You are here: Home / Resources / Radiofrequency Radiation Reduction How To?

Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation Reduction

  • Why reduce exposure?

    RF radiation is associated with a variety of biological effects. At a cellular level, oxidative stress has been shown to take place below ‘international guideline safety levels’, and downstream risks include cancer, neurological disease, and reproductive impairment
    (5G Appeal, 2017).

  • Who is most vulnerable?

    Children are more vulnerable than adults (Morgan et al.2014), as are the elderly, pregnant, infirm, and hypersensitive.

  • What about wildlife?

    All life is susceptible to RF biological damage, including microbes, plant life, animals, and indeed ecosystems. Effects of high frequencies on insects are of particular concern (e.g. 5G) (Balmori, A., 2014).

  • Symptoms of RFR exposure can include:

    Headaches, dizziness, insomnia, tinnitus, palpitations, mood disturbance, anxiety

RRR ‘How to’ Guide

1. Mobile phones

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.

2. Wireless internet

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.

3. Landline phones

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.

4. Smart meters

Request a hardwired (non-RFR emitting) meter to ensure you and your neighbours are not subject to additional wireless radiation.

5. Other sources in the home

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.

6. Sources outside the home

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.

7. Help each other

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

How do we ‘hardwire’?

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

Lower RF choices

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.

Flight (airplane) mode

Use this as much as possible, and remember to ensure that individual wireless functions/services are also disabled.
