About Laptops EMF

  • -Your laptop sits inches from your body for hours each day, emitting radiofrequency radiation from its WiFi antenna and extremely low frequency magnetic fields from its internal components.
  • -These emissions span a remarkably wide range, from 50 Hz power frequencies up to 5.8 GHz wireless signals, creating what researchers call a "mixed exposure environment" right on your lap or desk.
  • -What makes laptops particularly concerning from an EMF perspective is their proximity to your body combined with duration of use.

MEASUREMENTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC ACTIVITIES OF THE HUMAN BODY IN THE FREQUENCY REGION 1 kHz - 2 GHz

Unknown authors

Researchers investigated electromagnetic emissions from the human body across the frequency region 10^3 Hz - 2-10^9 Hz using tunable radiometers. They found that the body acts as a purely thermal radiator down to about 10^4 Hz, with radiation temperature equal to body temperature at all tested positions above that frequency. Below 10^4 Hz, emissions exceeded thermal levels and varied with electrode type, location, and muscle state, peaking with coaxial needle electrodes in contracted muscle.

RADIO FREQUENCY HAZARDS

John Roman

Animal experiments have largely been performed using small fur-bearing animals such as mice, rabbits and dogs, but results are difficult to extrapolate to humans. The eye and the testis are the two body organs most seriously affected by heat. Due to overheating, the eye may develop opacities or cataracts, and these are irreversible, while damage to the testis induces temporary sterility.
