Electrosmog, how to protect yourself, with ad hoc fabrics, paints and materials

In this increasingly connected world, we all swim in an invisible sea of ​​electromagnetic fields, between Wi-Fi, 5G and Bluetooth waves. We are immersed and submerged and – as far as we read – too well does not do.

There is talk of «electrosensitivity»(Uhs, electromagnetic hyperssensitivity), that even if not yet officially recognized by the scientific community, it was detected by many people, who have experienced symptoms such as headache, fatigue, dizziness, tachycardia and insomnia, all attributable to exposure to electromagnetic fields generated by electronic devices and wireless networks.

And this is how the idea of ​​designing “shielded” houses began to come forward, that is, they can block exposure to electromagnetic radiation. They are the last frontier of bio-compatible design, architectures that combine technology and natural materials to offer protection against what we don’t see but that crosses our bodies every day. In some mountain areas of Europe, as in Austria or Sweden, there are real eco-village “Low Emf”, where cell phones are banned and Wi-Fi is prohibited.

But how should you behave at home? There are those who equip themselves to build anti-electrosmog houses, with very precise measures and ad hoc tools.

How to shield your home

Today there are several options to defend your home from electrosmog.

Shielding walls: There are coatings with paints containing graphite, metal networks or conductive fabrics that block the passage of the waves.

Special windows: they dare to us shielded glass with metal oxides that reduce the penetration of external signals.

Natural materials: not treated wood, raw earth, hemp and lime are often used because they are “neutral” from an electromagnetic point of view.

Oriented design: The arrangement of the environments avoids storage points or reflection of signals. Far from repeaters, high voltage lines and artificial sources.

The opinion of the expert

Massimo Camporeale He is the manager of Ethika Solution, a natural furniture platform, who also deals with electrosmog problems: “In recent years the problem has been increasingly asking and, even at a domestic level, electromagnetic pollution protection begins to be requested, which, not seeing itself and feeling, risks being neglected too often. In Italy, electrosensitivity is not even recognized, which instead happens in other countries such as, for example, Sweden. The high frequency electrosmog, that generated by the antennas of telephony, wi-fi and repeaters, is very invasive, but it is also true that it is easily shielding: a reinforced concrete wall is enough, for example. The best thing to do before taking into consideration any intervention is to measure the actual danger, the degree of pollution of these waves: today there are many reliable tools to do it, but I do not recommend using the mobile apps, it was nothing else because the smartphone itself is an electromagnetic field emitter. So, first of all you have to evaluate your situation and understand which parameter to rely on. There are the legal and precautionary parameters: those of the law, for the interior, provide 15 volts per square meter with a measure recorded within 24 hours, while the precautionary ones say they do not go beyond 0.6 volts. Today there are thousands of scientific studies, of important institutes, such as the Ramazzini of Bologna or the IARC (International Agency for Cancer Research) just to name a couple, who have found a correlation between the exposure to electromagnetic fields and health problems. Today there are however construction companies that build houses taking into account this problem: being careful to create shielding on the roofs, in the walls. For those who want to intervene in an existing house, today there are fabrics for curtains with metal filaments, paints and blankets that can significantly lower pollution, much better than nothing “.
