EMF in School / Classroom

  • -## School and Classroom EMF Sources Modern classrooms have transformed into technology-rich environments where students and teachers spend 6-8 hours daily surrounded by multiple EMF-emitting devices.
  • -Today's educational settings typically feature WiFi networks broadcasting throughout the building, individual laptops or Chromebooks for each student, interactive whiteboards at the front of the room, and various Bluetooth-enabled devices for presentations and connectivity.
  • -What makes the school environment unique from an EMF perspective is the density of devices operating simultaneously in relatively small spaces, combined with the extended duration of exposure for both students and educators.

AN OPERANT ELECTROMAGNETIC CHAMBER

Willard E. Caldwell, Earl Gaddis, Morton Werber · 1969

Researchers built an Operant Electromagnetic Chamber with a shielded section and an unshielded section, and exposed animals to 8840 mc radio frequency at a power density of 2.2 to 2.5 milliwatts per square inch. No significant difference in shielded-chamber time occurred when the radio frequency was on during the first half of trials, but when it was on during the second half the animals stayed in the shielded area significantly longer with the frequency off (p < .01).
