Research on electromagnetic radiation from Bluetooth devices including earbuds, headphones, and wearables.
Your Bluetooth earbuds, wireless mouse, and smartphone are constantly communicating through radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields in the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz range. While these devices have revolutionized how we connect and communicate, they also represent one of the most intimate sources of EMF exposure in our daily lives-often positioned directly against our heads, in our pockets, or on our bodies for hours at a time.
