De Verborgen Gevaren van Elektrosmog: Hoe Je Huis Vol Elektromagnetische Vervuiling Zit

The Hidden Dangers of Electrosmog: How Your Home is Full of Electromagnetic Pollution

The word smog is a contraction of the English words "smoke" and "fog" and refers to air pollution, typically in large cities.

Electrosmog, or electrical pollution, is an accumulation of electromagnetic disturbances originating from technologies we use daily. This radiation not only affects our health but also the environment.

Why Is Electrosmog Increasing in Homes?

Electromagnetic load in homes is constantly increasing. Why? Simply because the average home today has at least 10 Wi-Fi devices active 24/7. Add to that the growing number of electrical appliances and the charging of phones, tablets, and laptops overnight.

Furthermore, the entire electrical wiring in a home also emits electromagnetic fields and waves originating from the current itself. These fields are often 'polluted' by electromagnetic disturbances from various sources – including radio frequencies and microwaves – which are attracted by the wiring. Why? Because the entire house's cabling essentially functions as a large antenna.

The result? Higher levels of dirty electricity and general electrosmog. And this is without even considering the countless Wi-Fi signals from neighbors or the increasingly intense radiation from mobile transmission masts.

What Does Electrosmog Look Like in Your Home?

Take a good look at the image in this post and think about your own home. It's actually the same everywhere.

The concentric circles around the devices represent the electromagnetic fields of each electrical appliance. The waves symbolize the communication signals freely moving through the air.

On top of that, there's the magnetic charge of the entire electricity grid in the house – carrying all those disturbances, noise, and dirty electricity interferences and spreading them throughout the house.

Practical Tips to Reduce Electrosmog in Your Home

Now that you know what electrosmog is and how it originates, you can take immediate action to reduce the electromagnetic load in your home:

Electrical Appliances

  • Turn off Wi-Fi at night – Switch off your router or use a timer to shut it off automatically.
  • Use wired internet connections wherever possible instead of Wi-Fi.
  • Keep your phone out of the bedroom or put it in airplane mode.
  • Unplug appliances you are not using.

In the Home

  • Create a 'low-EMF' bedroom – Minimize electrical appliances in the sleeping area.
  • Use a battery-operated alarm clock instead of your phone.
  • Keep your bed away from electrical panels and large household appliances.
  • Move your router as far as possible from your family areas.

Mobile Devices

  • Use a headset or speaker for phone calls.
  • Do not carry your phone directly on your body – use a bag or backpack.
  • Limit the use of wireless earbuds like AirPods.
  • Turn off Bluetooth when you don't need it.

Dirty Electricity

  • Replace old dimmer switches with new, EMF-friendly versions.
  • Use incandescent bulbs or high-quality LED lamps instead of energy-saving lamps.
  • Consider dirty electricity filters for outlets in frequently used areas such as the STROOM MASTER.
