EMF Tips

A smart speaker is an always-on WiFi radio, but measured duty cycles and fields for such devices are low. Removing it is a small, optional change.

A wired or audio-only baby monitor removes a transmitter from the nursery. Measured fields from similar low-power devices are low, so this is a precaution.

Many quick checks keep a phone’s radios busy in small bursts all day. A few planned sessions leave long stretches where the phone is quiet or in airplane mode.

Streaming keeps the radio active for the length of the video. Downloading first shifts that radio activity to one short period, before you start watching.

A feed loads posts and video continuously, so the phone’s radio keeps working while you scroll. Cutting scrolling time also cuts how long the phone is in hand.

A day with devices in airplane mode cuts radio time more than a daily window does. Evidence that low-level exposure needs a recovery period is not verified.

Screens before bed bring light, content and a radio together, and one trial cannot separate them. Reviews on RF and melatonin conflict, so evidence is mixed.

A fixed window each day with devices off or away is the simplest way to cut time with a transmitting phone. It needs no equipment, only a routine.

A meter turns guesses about your home into readings you can compare from room to room. It also shows where a change actually helps and where it does not.

A wired connection carries data over copper, so your laptop’s link does not use radio at all. Request it at check-in, and switch off the laptop’s own WiFi.

A phone still searching for a network on a flight keeps trying to reach one. Airplane mode shuts that radio off for the whole trip.

Public places have more access points and users than a home, but measured levels are still low. Skipping public WiFi mainly trims time on another network.
