Frequently Asked Questions
How far away is safe from a cell tower for EMF exposure?
Distance helps, but there's no universal safe distance—it depends on tower power, direction of antennas, and obstacles. Even a quarter mile away, exposure can be significant. Rather than relying on distance alone, use shielding products to protect your living and sleeping areas.
Can EMF products block radiation from nearby cell towers?
Yes, shielding products like bed canopies, window films, and wall paints can significantly reduce cell tower radiation entering your home. These products reflect or absorb radiofrequency radiation before it reaches your living space. The key is shielding the sides facing the tower.
What areas of my home should I prioritize protecting from cell towers?
Focus on bedrooms first—where you spend seven to eight hours nightly in extended exposure. Then consider rooms where you spend significant time like home offices or living areas. Window shielding is often critical since glass provides no natural barrier to radiation.
Are cell tower EMF levels dangerous compared to phones and WiFi?
Cell towers broadcast continuously at higher power than personal devices, creating constant background exposure. While individual phone exposure may be more intense during use, tower radiation never stops. The concern is cumulative exposure during hours spent at home.
Should I test EMF levels before buying cell tower protection products?
Testing helps identify where radiation enters your home and how much improvement you need. An RF meter reveals exposure levels and guides product selection. However, if you live within sight of a tower, protection products will likely help regardless of specific readings.
