Precautions should be taken during usage of electronic devices.

An Electromagnetic Field (EMF) is a kind of energy that is generated through electrical charging of objects; their presence is certain in the human environment. It is usually in the form of waves or particles like radio waves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, gamma rays, microwaves, visible light and X-rays. Emission of electromagnetic radiation is evident with the use of phones, Wi-Fi routers and laptops as it is in the envelope from power lines, electrical appliances and other electrical energy sources.

Direct exposure to high EMF radiation has been medically confirmed to have adverse health effects. They include risk of cancer, reproductive problems and neurological disorders. However, experts are yet to figure out exactly how the radiation causes harm to human health. Reduction of the exposure risk to EMF radiation therefore requires certain precautions which include usage of protective cases that block the radiation, reduced use of electronic devices, and staying distant from sources of the radiation like power lines.

There are health damages attached to the radiation.

Use of electronic devices, compared to other countries, is rampant in Nigeria. There are more than 140 million active phone lines across the country, making it one of the highest phone users in the world. As a result, many Nigerians risk exposure to high levels of EMF radiation every day. Differing from environmental hazards like air pollution, water contamination and climate change, the risks associated with EMF radiation are not rapidly visible. Therefore, many Nigerians are oblivious of its risks and unable to take necessary precautions to protect their health.

Ongoing research projects and debates are working on finding out potential health damages of the radiation. Regardless of the ongoing research, there are evidences that revealed health problems linked to exposure to EMF radiation. One of such health dangers is increased risk of some kinds of cancer — leukemia, brain cancer and lymphoma. Neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis is also linked to exposure. Other health damages include sleep disturbances, reproductive problems, headaches and dizziness.

EMF defense bracelet protects against radiation.

There are certain steps that should be taken as protection from the radiation. The most effective protective means is usage of EMF protection with defense bracelet. Avoidance of holding phone close to the ear for long hours and practice of headset or speakerphones while making phone calls is recommended. Limiting exposure to electronic devices, especially in the night because they emit blue light that are capable of disrupting sleep patterns. Anti-radiation phone cases and EMF blocking clothing should be invested in.

Religious practice of aforementioned steps would help individuals understand the risk of EMF radiation and protect their health and wellbeing. EMF defense bracelet, an effective protective measure, is a wearable accessory that is created as protection against dangerous effects of the radiation. The bracelet emits a negative ion field that is capable of neutralizing the positive ions generated by electronic devices. Reducing the negative effects of the radiation, the bracelet boosts overall health and wellbeing of users.

A study is still being conducted concerning its health risks.

Additionally, improvement of focus and concentration when using electronic devices for extended periods has been reported by users as one of the functions of the bracelet. It also helps in enhancement of moods and reduction of stress levels. Although a study is still being carried out concerning the adverse health damages linked with EMF radiation, it is necessary that people gather understanding on the risk so as to enable them take necessary precautions like keeping electronic devices at a safe distance when in use.

Cancer is a serious disease and it is caused by so many factors in the body. The EMF radiation is one of its causes too. There is need to raise awareness about the dangers cancer poses in the body.

The issue of phones and gadgets causing cancer has been around for awhile but the may problem is that the awareness or campaign is not enough because millions of people don’t know about this.

Cancer has linkage with EMF radiation. This is serious, millions of Nigeria don’t even know about This EMF. We that knows about it, need to create a serious awareness about it. Government should also try it best to let the public know more about the EMF

While it is still unclear whether there is a causal link between EMF radiation and cancer, it is clear that this is an area that requires continued research and attention. In the meantime, individuals can take steps to reduce their exposure to EMF radiation, such as using hands-free devices when using cell phones and minimizing time spent near high EMF radiation sources.

This must be the reason why cancer is common among youth these days . 70% of youths use their phone while charging and this also expose them to to EMF radiation

There is a need for some form of awareness creation in Nigeria because a great number of people are unaware of the dangers it poses and are therefore unable to take the appropriate safety measures to protect their health.

I believe that this is sound advice and people should refrain from holding the phone too close to your ear for a long time and also not use the phone while charging.

All the gadget used all over the world contain the Electromagnetic Force. Mass awareness should be created to educated everyone about the danger, the religious practice of using preventive measures should become a life style.

The linkage of cancer to EMF radiation calls for concern since most gadget use by everyone consist of the devices that radiate electromagnetic force. It will be better to created awareness in regard to this and educate the populace on how to reduce or prevent exposure to the radiation.
