  • Magnetic fields and power lines

    Here's lovely feedback from a customer wondering whether to purchase a home near a high voltage power line and who hired our magnetic field meter to measure the fields from the line. 'Brilliant! Well worth the cost of hiring. Very helpful in helping us to decide on buying a house near an electricity stancheon. 

  • Wearable fitness devices

    They're supposed to improve fitness and health, but here's a case where a wearable fitness device actually worsened the wearer's health. In 2014 a lady from Queensland bought a fitness armband with wireless function, designed to track the number of steps she took each day, and wore it continually, only taking it off once a week to charge it. Soon after, she developed serious problems. 

  • Environmental Sensitivities

    The Australian National Register for Environmental Sensitivities (ANRES) has released its first data. Do you have any of the following sensitivities: Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), Lyme Disease, Biotoxin-related illness, Fibromyalgia, food sensitivity or fragrance sensitivity?

  • Who is most likely to be at risk from radiofrequency (RF) radiation

    Young people, the aged and those with cancer are the most likely to be at risk from radiofrequency (RF) radiation, according to a recent paper in ‘Reviews on Environmental Health.’ In their review of the scientific literature, Dr Mary Redmayne and Professor Olle Johansson, found that exposure affected a number of biological processes differently according to age. These may result in different effects on health and well-being. 

  • Reduce exposure and feel better!

    We love to receive good-news stories from our customers - like this one. A family hired our Home Test Kit to measure the electromagnetic fields in their home and this is what they reported. 'Our girl was extremely proactive and her bed was against the power meter. She observed direct emissions right where her head would lie in bed. So by moving her room around and placing her IPad away from her sleep position etc she was able to go to minimal emission readings on the gadgets.

  • Argentina aims to reduce EMR exposure

    Proposed legislation in Argentina aims to reduce public exposure to wireless radiation from mobile phones, base stations and WiFi. The bill, introduced by Deputy Gabriela Troiano, aims to protect people from both the heating and biological effects of wireless radiation and follows widespread public outcries against electromagnetic pollution. It proposes: to limit emissions from digital mobile phone base stations to 0.1 uW/cm2;

  • Smart Meters in NSW

    The NSW State Government and electricity suppliers are using renewable energy and price savings as hooks to encouraging customers to install 'smart' electricity meters that emit wireless radiation. The Government has written to customers participating in the Solar Bonus Scheme which ends on 31 December this year encouraging them to 'investigate the possibility of a smart meter for your home'.

  • A message to schools & libraries about the risks of wireless radiation

    A retired US physicist has called on libraries and schools to address the risks of wireless radiation. Dr Ronald Powell, who worked for the Executive Office of the President, the National Science Foundation, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, expressed concerns about the impact of wireless radiation in an open letter of 20 August.

  • EMR Updates - EMR & Health March 2016 Issue

    ELF fields (from electrical sources) Cancer Magnetic fields can promote cancer, according to a major new study from Italy. Researchers exposed 650 rats to a magnetic field of 200 or 10,000 mG, from before birth, for their entire lives and exposed them to a single dose of ionizing radiation when they were 6 weeks of age. The exposed rats had increased rates of mammary gland (breast) cancers, schwannomas of the heart and leukemia/lymphoma.

  • Does wireless radiation affect people’s health—and is it safe to even ask the question?

    On 16 February, ABC TV’s ‘Catalyst’ aired a program on wireless radiation called ’Wi- Fried?’ that sparked a media backlash of the ugliest kind. The theme of the program, presented by award-winning journalist, Dr Maryanne Demasi, was ‘Could WiFi-enabled devices be harmful to our health?’—a question of importance to every single Australian.

  • Electromagnetic hypersensitivity

    Recent studies shed new insights on the condition of electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). Diagnosis and treatment A group of 17 scientists from six nations has produced the EUROPAEM EMF Guideline 2015 for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of EMF-related health problems and illnesses’. 1 Their paper reports the results of Professor Belpomme’s study on 1200 people with EHS and/or multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS).

  • EMR Updates from Around the World - EMR & Health Report March 2016 Issue

    Italy An Italian town has turned off WiFi in its schools. The Mayor of Borgofranco, Livio Tola, made the decision to remove WiFi from both primary and secondary schools because of concerns about the impact of radiation on children’s health. The schools will continue to provide internet access by wired computers. (La Stampa Cronache, 08.01.16.) Cyprus The government of Cyprus has begun a campaign to reduce children’s exposure to wireless radiation.
