Electromagnetic Field Exposure

I often suspected that between IPads, IPhones, my MacBook, computer monitors, and TV that I have been subjecting myself to quite a bit of radiation. I did a quick Google Scholar search and came upon a journal article discussing related issues. It was published in

Advances in Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Energy last year called "Human Electromagnetic Field Exposure in Wearable Communications Systems: A Review, written by Seungmo Kim, Yakub Ahmed Sharif, and Imtiaz Nasim. It was about wearable devices and was just published in June 2024.

Apparently there are federal guidelines about the amount of electromagnetic field exposure that is allowed. They measured it at a particular rate and thought about a number of factors, including carrier frequency, transmit power, and type of skin contact. They said that the average power density of many devices had higher levels than guidelines allow. Their research suggests that wearing smart glasses or virtual reality helmets is bad for our bodies.

They say this effect is greater the closer the personal device is to the persons body. For this reason, they said we should turn off the Bluetooth on devices when they are not in use.

Children's brains are especially more susceptible to radiation bc they have higher absorption. For this reason, we have to be careful with usage of wearable technologies around or on them. We also have to be aware of devices that we wear on our eyes or heads because the radiation can impact sensitive organs like our brains.

But when they mentioned AirPods, I said "Shut the front door!"

So Airpods are not good for us and we should wear Apple watches for shorter amounts of time?

Personally, my concern about these devices has led me to wear by a copper bracelet to try to offset those EMFs. I've also heard that gold is good for this purpose as well.

I kind of feel like capitalists have really been allowed to run amuck and we regular Americans need to mobilize to hold these companies accountable.

If you want to read the article for yourself, here's a link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772671124000901.

What are your thoughts? It's only one study, so should we take it with a grain of salt? Are you giving up your Bluetooth devices? Do you employ tactics to offset the effect of EMFs? Let me know in the comments.
