Effects of electro-pollution
Ionizing EMFs are known to cause direct damage to cells and DNA. Although non-ionizing low frequency EMFs have not yet been “definitely proven” to directly damage DNA or cells, an increasing and overwhelming amount of data suggests they do. Although the wireless industry and the US government claim controversy despite mounting data and research, current evidence is prompting many countries outside the US to issue public health risks regarding mobile devices, and to decrease the number of cell phone towers.
As an important reminder, magnetic field levels are highest near the radiation source, and decrease rapidly the farther away you get from the source. It has been shown that magnetic fields are significantly decreased at a distance of about 12” from most appliances. For computer screens, a distance of 12” to 20” offers a dramatically lowered magnetic field.
The World Health Organization International Agency for Research on Cancer classified radio frequency radiation as a possible carcinogen in 2011, and as a probable carcinogen in 2013.
Many experts report that electro-pollution-induced biological stress profoundly compromises normal physiology and intercellular communication, leading to the breakdown of healthy cellular processes. Specifically, cell function deteriorates, cell membranes harden, free radical damage occurs, nutrients cannot enter the cell, and toxins cannot be excreted. Numerous studies have shown the harmful effects of EMR on the immune system, enzyme syntheses and nervous system, as well as on learning, moods and behavioral patterns. All aspects of physiology at molecular, cellular and biochemical levels can potentially be damaged by EMR exposure.
Spending long periods of time glued to our phones could be having a devastating affect on our dogs, a heartbreaking new study has found.
Veterinary surgeon, Neerja Muncaster, says: “If you are worried about not giving a pet enough attention, you can use these tips to try and make sure you find a balance between screen use and interaction with our pets.” Neerja suggests…
If you know anyone with a Rottweiler, chances are that youve seen them be gentle around their owners but intimidating when it comes to strangers. To keep them on top of their game, be sure to socialise your Rottie with other people and dogs in addition to taking them to training classes. Advertisement – Continue Reading Below
Devices such as laptops and phones are an integral part of our day, particularly with those of us who regularly work from home. But, it could mean were not giving our pets the attention they deserve and need.
Sadly, research found that the lack of attention in pets can lead to anxiety and behavioural problems in our pets. In serious cases, it can even lead to obesity in dogs, especially if their owners dont have time to take them out for a walk. This content is imported from {embed-name}.

Common sources of non-ionizing EMFs
Sources of non-ionizing EMFs can be either natural or manmade. The earth’s magnetic field is an example of a naturally-occurring EMF. Human-made EMFs fall into both the ELF (extremely low frequency EMFs) and radio frequency categories of the non-ionizing electromagnetic spectrum, and can come from a number of sources — power lines, electrical wiring, and appliances such as shavers, hair dryers and electric blankets.
Common sources of radio frequency radiation are wireless telecommunication devices such as cell phones, tablets and laptop computers; they also include Wi-Fi, cell phone towers, radio and TV signals, satellite stations, MRI devices, microwave ovens, and digital electric and gas meters (“smart meters”).
Trained dogs sniff out cell phones
Be aware of the secret flicker and noise that home technology may transmit to your pets.
Few of us would put up with a TV that emits an annoying whine or a light bulb that flickers, but for our pets, that may the world around them. Their senses are tuned differently than our own and may detect a cacophony of noise and strobe effects that we dont, particularly as we fill our homes with technology. You can fix a beeping smoke detector quickly by changing the battery, but it might also be emitting a constant high-pitched noise that only your dog can perceive. Have we built them an unintended hell? Dr. Sheila Carrera-Justiz, assistant professor of neurology at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine, says that our pets sense of hearing makes the world a far different place for them than for you and me. They hear everything we do, plus much more. “I recently got a new dishwasher and its really quiet — my dogs dont react to it at all,” she says. “But [the sound of] the garbage truck going by? Thats a different story.”
