09 Apr Electrosmog: The Shadow of Technology and Its Invisible Influence
Electrosmog is measurably present in our lives. It’s a form of pollution caused by electromagnetic fields, a phenomenon that emerged in the last century and has intensified significantly in the last two decades. In our modern world, we are surrounded by electrical gadgets, antennas, and cables – integral parts of our accelerated lives that impose an ever-increasing electrical burden on us.
Should we be afraid of electrosmog? Is there anything we can do to reduce it? Or is it just a technological bogeyman of our time?
Electric fields can be detected around live electrical wires, magnetic fields are created by the current flowing through the wires, and electromagnetic radiation is emitted by our electronic devices, thus constantly surrounding us.
Understanding Electrosmog in the Digital Age
In the last century, scientists discovered that energy ‘escapes‘ from live wires in the form of electromagnetic radiation, also known as electrosmog. It comes from various electromagnetic waves and radiation emitted by man-made devices such as cell phones, wireless networks, televisions, radios, as well as power lines and other electrical equipment.
Electromagnetic radiation is an unavoidable part of our environment – it can also be found in nature, with natural sources including storms, the sun, the earth and the stars. Electrosmog has always been present during intense summer thunderstorms and magnetic storms, it’s just that its magnitude has increased significantly over the last 50 years.
Living in an average household today, we receive a much higher dose than we did a few decades ago. The electromagnetic fields in our environment are by-products of the use of machines. We cannot make a machine so perfect that it does not emit an electromagnetic field into the environment.
We do not have a special organ to sense when this happens. A common sign of frequent high doses is chronic fatigue. However, its physiological effects cannot be compared with those associated with nuclear energy or X-rays, known as ionizing radiation.
The Interface between Human Biology and Electromagnetic Radiation
The human body functions on the basis of electromagnetism. The communication of charged ions, or electricity, coordinates the operational processes of our body. Living in electrosmog increases the body’s voltage, induces eddy currents in the body and can cause functional changes in our organs, immune system and nervous system.
Living beings experience biochemical reactions and generate, use, and sense weak electrical signals. They also produce mysterious fields, similar to electromagnetic fields, which include the energy that spreads along the meridian lines, known mainly from Eastern medicine. Our bodies use this energy along with electricity.
Apart from chemical processes, we have both alternating and direct current systems. In cell-to-cell communication, we also use very weak ultraviolet radiation. The electrodynamics of a human being, including the internal signal transmission and communication system, is much more complex than what is currently taught in schools.
During acupuncture treatment, signal transmission is faster than expected from normal electrochemical transmission in nerves. The effects of electrosmog are complicated to understand and study because our organs react differently to weak external environmental stimuli.
How Electromagnetic Fields Can Affect Your Life
At first glance, electric and magnetic fields seem so weak that they may not warrant attention. However, research shows that both electric and magnetic fields affect life processes, although these effects are so subtle that they are not easy to detect.
We know of several living things that use the Earth’s weak magnetic field for orientation. There are also bacteria that can sense the Earth’s magnetic field. This suggests that we can indeed sense relatively weak, constant magnetic fields, but not through our conscious nervous system. Instead, the influence of external force fields manifests itself slowly, through the silent, muted so-called visceral nervous system.

The extent of the effect also depends on the stage a living being is in. Beings in rapid growth – such as fetuses, infants or young children – are much more sensitive to these environmental influences than adults. Furthermore, it is not only the intensity of these fields that matters, but also their frequency and even their waveform.
Electromagnetic fields are not only a source of danger, they can also be used for healing. In the last 10-20 years, electromedicine, or frequency medicine, has begun to gain ground. The effect of electromagnetic fields is similar to that of medicine: in small amounts, precisely dosed, it can heal; in larger amounts, above or below certain doses, it can be harmful.
The main problem is that the subtle, long-term effects of various factors, such as air pollution, the impact of water sources, stress at work, lack of trace elements or vitamins in food, and individual genetic defects, are cumulative and can’t be isolated. Individually, these may not be considered significant risks, but together their combined effects can contribute to health problems.

Recognizing the Health Effects of Electromagnetic Pollution
Electrosmog can primarily be detected by its electrical component. The level of exposure can be easily calculated by summing the exposure over different frequencies. To determine if the level of exposure is dangerous, add the exposure from the lowest to the highest frequency and convert it to the average thermal exposure for the body.
Our bodies react differently to electromagnetic pollution at different frequencies, which can lead to problems such as sleep disturbances, stress, weakened immune systems and reported cases of leukemia.
It is important to note that there is no consensus yet on the link between health problems and exposure to electrosmog, but more research is urged on the potentially high levels of exposure to radio waves emitted by new cell phones.
Although no formal studies have yet found direct evidence of effects on human health, animal studies have already shown adverse effects in a Swedish study conducted every year.
Researchers have reported increased oxidative stress in animals at low levels of exposure to radio waves, some below reference levels. Oxidative stress is a natural biological process that may sometimes be involved in pathogenesis.
How to Live with Electrosmog and Reduce Risks in a Wired World
Living in a world without electromagnetic pollution is not feasible in today’s society without causing a global economic crisis and panic. So what we can do is start using our devices more wisely. In short, it’s important not to have too many devices and not to use them unnecessarily.
In the case of electromagnetic radiation, the power decreases by the square: if I move my mobile phone or router just half a meter away from me, instead of putting it on the corner of my desk, the exposure to my body is reduced to a fraction. By keeping a distance of 1-1.5 meters from the electronic devices we use at home, we can very effectively reduce the amount of energy absorbed by our bodies.
Here are some practical tips to reduce electrosmog exposure in your home
- Since we typically receive the most radiation from our own cell phones, use speakerphone mode or a headset for longer calls.
- Keep electrical devices, especially cell phones and laptops, away from your bed and, if possible, your sleeping area.
- In areas of high radiation, consider using special paints, foils, and other materials that block electromagnetic waves.
- Turn off your Wi-Fi router at night when you’re not using the Internet to reduce the amount of electromagnetic radiation.
- Keep your distance from operating electrical equipment whenever possible. For example, don’t stand near the microwave while it’s working, and don’t use it if the door doesn’t close properly or if it’s damaged.
- Turn off or unplug appliances when not in use.
- Do not run extension cords or cables under the bed!
- Avoid using your cell phone while it’s charging, and try not to leave it on the charger next to your head overnight!
Balancing Technology and Health
Our modern lives are filled with the convenience of electricity, but the constant use of electrical devices and communication systems emits electric and magnetic fields and electromagnetic radiation, known as electrosmog.
This is a phenomenon that is constantly present in our environment and will continue to be in the future. While some precautions can help reduce exposure to electrosmog, the scientific community is still studying the long-term effects of electromagnetic radiation on human health. You may feel that you suffer from chronic fatigue. Because it can be caused by other illnesses, genetics, and age, electrosmog is not the first thing that comes to mind.
Last but not least, be aware that the various small health risks (air pollution, impact of water sources, stress, food poor in trace elements or vitamins, and individual genetic defects, etc.) add up to a major health risk. That is why it is so important to focus on prevention.
