The concentration of electromagnetic radiation is also increasing rapidly in our own homes. Whether and to what extent this radiation is dangerous for living beings is currently the subject of controversial debate. Here is an overview of the current scientific debate.
The use of mobile phones, laptops, tablets and other electronic devices is now part of everyday life. The possibilities offered by our technologically sophisticated devices are almost endless, and it is impossible to imagine our world without them. Being available anywhere and online at any time is now standard and forms the basis of many communication channels. And not just for adults or in the workplace. Smartphones and the like are also becoming increasingly important for children and young people. The latest gadgets are often at the top of their wish list. The smartphone can easily be seen as a status symbol as well as a constant companion for staying in touch with friends, family and social media.
All of these devices cause an increasing concentration of electromagnetic radiation and electrosmog – all in your own home. As more and more smartphones, etc. find their way into our own four walls, the more users are exposed to the possible consequences of mobile phone radiation, Wi-Fi radiation and radiation from Bluetooth and DECT phones. And it’s not just active users who come into contact with electrosmog: The use of baby monitors means that even newborn babies are exposed to increased levels of radiation.
New “SMART home” solutions for private households also contribute to increased levels of electrosmog. WLAN radiation from neighbours or the ever-increasing number of new wireless technologies (UMTS, LTE, 4G, 5G) to ensure optimum network coverage also increase the concentration of electromagnetic radiation in our environment. Electrosmog in bedrooms, kitchens, children’s rooms: the radiation emitted by smart devices penetrates unhindered into the following areas
