An invisible form of pollution has electricity as its source. Low frequency magnetic fields produced by radiation from sources as power lines, generator substations, and home appliances increase the risk for health problems. High frequency magnetic fields are generated by things like radio and TV towers, and cellular and portable phones. The hazard come from the magnetic field which varies with the amount of current.

The sources of electric fields in a house are electrical wiring and appliances. To reduce your radiation exposure:

Live as far away as possible from power lines, reduce the number of electrical appliances, stand 3 feet away when in use and unplug when not in use, use battery instead of electrical operated appliances when possible, stay away from electric and microwave ovens when they are in use, be cautious about working too close to flourescent lights which produce strong EMFs, keep TV and computers a safe distance away, and be cautious with cell phones because they produce a very strong high frequency field emission.

Use a gauss meter to measure magnetic field pollution and determine safe areas at work or at home.

Regarding cellular phones, have there been any private or government studies showing the extent of damage?

Wow. That is scarey stuff especially with youngsters. Wearing a headset instead of holding the phone to the head should make it safer I would think. I was wrong apparently.

Many people believe that cell phone radiation is emitted solely from a phone's antenna or earpiece, but most of it is generated by the radio system (transmitter and receiver) normally located near the display or keypad. AegisGuard™ Phone Radiation Shields have been proven to provide optimum shielding protection from radiation emitting areas of mobile and cellular phones without affecting reception or battery life.

Every phone manufacturer, scientist, engineer and regulatory agency associated with the industry acknowledges that mobile or cellular phone radiation penetrates the head and neck of the user when a phone is in use, and that it increases the temperature (thermal level) of the brain and surrounding facial areas. Studies have also confirmed it affects biological mechanisms in the body far below the thermal level, and some scientists and government officials are demanding that warning labels be included with every phone sold.

Safer than hands free headsets, antenna and earpiece covers and absorption based products that claim to offer protection, and the only patented shielding technology proven to deflect phone radiation away from the head and neck of the user, AegisGuard™ Phone Radiation Shields were tested by independent laboratories in three nations. Thirty three phones and four five Watt radio modems at operating frequencies up to 2.6 GHz. were tested using globally accepted ASTM D4935-99 test procedures with and without AegisGuard™ shields installed. The tests confirmed that without affecting reception or battery life, up to 99.9% of the radiation is deflected away from the head and neck towards the back of the phone.
