Focusing on and protecting yourself from EMFs while you work is crucial for maintaining your health and well-being. Whether you're working from a home office or at a business location, you typically spend long hours in a single spot, often surrounded by electronic devices that emit EMFs. This consistent exposure, especially from devices like computers, phones, and other office equipment, can accumulate over time.
Research shows that reducing EMF exposure in office spaces is essential for protecting health and boosting productivity. High EMF levels have been linked to headaches, fatigue, and cognitive issues, all of which can hinder workplace performance. Lowering EMF levels can help alleviate these symptoms, leading to better focus, improved well-being, and a more productive work environment.

Switch to Ethernet. Replace Wi-Fi with wired Ethernet connections for your computer and other devices. This will significantly reduce the amount of wireless radiation in your workspace.
Opt for Wired Accessories. Use wired keyboards, mice, and headphones instead of wireless versions to further minimize EMF exposure.
Disable Unnecessary Bluetooth. Turn off Bluetooth on your devices when not in use, as it constantly emits EMFs.
Minimize Wireless Printing. Use wired printers or minimize the use of wireless printing options.
The strength of EMFs decreases significantly with distance. Position your office space to stay out of electronic fields.
Devices. Position your workstation to keep a safe distance of at least 6 feet, from EMF-emitting devices, such as routers and printers.
Alternating Current. Sit at least 6 feet away from power-strips and outlets.
Chargers. Create a charging station on the other side of the room from where you sit.
Monitors. If possible, position your computer monitor as far away as possible.
Grounding can significantly reduce the EMF emitted by your computer. This can be particularly important for you if you spend long hours working on your computer, as prolonged exposure to EMF can have negative health effects.
Metal Cases. Use a grounding pad underneath your computer and connect to a working ground.
Plastic Cases. Sit on or put your feet on a grounding pad connected to an working ground.
Warning: If you live in a house that doesn't have a proper working ground for your outlet this is especially important as you could be getting a full AC current running through your body. You'll have to run a wir
Use a magnetic field meter to take measurements of your outside EMF. Cellphone towers and high-voltage power lines can raise EMF levels throughout the entire house.
Shielding Products. Consider using EMF protection devices like computer shields, router shields, or desk shields to create a safer environment.
Shielding Paint. Apply EMF-shielding paint or install shielding fabrics on walls, especially if your office is near high-EMF areas like cell towers or electrical substations.
TIP: "Use a magnetic field meter to take measurements of your office work space."
1
Switch to Wired Connections. Avoid using anything wireless.
2
Create distance. Position your office equipment and charging stations to the other side of the room
3
Switch from AC to DC. Don't work on your laptop or phone while it is plugged in. Use the battery.
4
Create a Grounded Environment. Use grounding mats to help neutralize the effects of EMF exposure.
5
Practice Regular Earthing. Take regular breaks away from electronic devices and connect yourself to mother earth.
