Electrosmog protection in the office
How you can protect yourself from invisible pollution, electrosmog, in the office workplace
Introduction: Invisible dangers at the desk
The modern office is a place of productivity - but also a center of electromagnetic pollution. Laptops, Wi-Fi, printers, monitors, smartphones, Bluetooth devices and many other technical aids generate electromagnetic fields (EMFs), which are collectively referred to as electrosmog. While they make our work easier, they expose our bodies to invisible stimuli on a daily basis.
Many people report typical symptoms associated with electrosmog:
-
Concentration problems
-
Headache
-
Tiredness
-
Eye complaints
-
Irritability and inner restlessness

What is electrosmog?
Electrosmog is the colloquial term for the entirety of artificially generated electromagnetic fields (EMF), such as those produced by electronic devices and radio signals. These fields are invisible and odorless - which is precisely why they are so difficult to grasp.
Types of electrosmog in the office:
-
Low-frequency fields (LF)
Generated by power lines, power supply units, monitors, lamps and electrical devices -
High-frequency fields (HF)
Caused by WLAN, Bluetooth, mobile phones, cordless phones
Electrosmog in the office - an underestimated burden
Whether in an open-plan office, home office or individual office - electrosmog is virtually unavoidable today. In an averagely equipped office, more than 15 electronic devices can be in operation at the same time. The exposure to electromagnetic fields adds up over hours.
Typical sources of radiation in the office:
-
WLAN router in the immediate vicinity
-
Laptops with wireless connections
-
Bluetooth mice & keyboards
-
DECT cordless phones
-
Power supply units under the desk
-
Cell phone right next to the PC
-
Induction chargers or wireless charging
-
Multifunction printers & server stations
Particularly dangerous: Long-term exposure
While brief exposure to electrosmog is hardly noticeable, symptoms often become apparent after several hours or days - or through chronic exposure over a period of months.
How does electrosmog affect our body?
Research into the health effects of electrosmog is complex and has not yet been fully completed. Nevertheless, there are numerous indications and studies that confirm a biological effect of electromagnetic fields.
Possible effects of electrosmog in the office:
-
Stress reactions due to permanent irritation of the nervous system
-
Reduced concentration and performance
-
Impairment of cell communication
-
Oxidative stress and free radicals
-
Elevated cortisol levels
-
Sleep problems after working days
Sensitive people in particular - including highly sensitive people, migraine sufferers and people with burnout tendencies - react particularly quickly to electrosmog.
Measuring electrosmog - the first step
Before taking protective measures, it makes sense to measure the electromagnetic exposure in the office. There are two ways to do this:
-
Buy measuring devices
Inexpensive models from approx. €50 display RF and LF loads -
Experts commission
Professional EMF analyses provide detailed reports and recommendations
Measurable radiation in the office is not a myth - many people are surprised at how high the exposure is, e.g. under the desk or directly at the monitor.
Electrosmog protection in the office - 7 effective measures
1. reduce or specifically control WLAN
-
If possible: use LAN cable instead of WLAN
-
Set up the router far away from the workstation
-
Use night switch-off or timer
2. deactivate Bluetooth & radio
-
Connect mouse and keyboard via cable
-
Activate Bluetooth only when required
-
Use wired versions for headphones too
3. replace DECT telephones
-
Swap wireless phones for wired versions
-
Or at least use devices with "Eco mode" that do not transmit permanently
4. check position of power supply units & devices
-
Do not place power supply units directly under the table
-
Keep a distance from your body (at least 1 meter for powerful devices)
5. do not carry your cell phone on your body
-
Place on the table in flight mode or outside the workstation
-
No permanent push notifications - also reduces stress
6. incorporate recovery breaks
-
Technology-free breaks promote regeneration
-
Eye exercises & movement help to compensate for sensory overload
7. use modern protection technologies
Innovative solutions such as biotechnology to harmonize electromagnetic fields help the body to deal better with electrosmog - without having to switch off devices.
Biotechnological protection - the ZES Bodyguard in the office
One of the most innovative solutions on the market is the ZES Bodyguard. This is a patented biotechnology that is available in various forms: e.g. as a card in check card format, a wristband or as a protective pad for the sleeping area.
Advantages in everyday office life:
-
✔ No electricity required - simply carry it with you
-
✔ Supports natural cell regeneration
-
✔ Reduces stress & fatigue during screen work
-
✔ Discreet - also integrated into jewelry
-
✔ Already in use by companies, doctors & professional athletes
Users report better concentration, less headaches and eye pain and a generally better energy level in everyday office life.
Electrosmog in the home office - the double challenge
Many people are particularly affected when working from home. Why?
-
WLAN router is often only 1-2 meters away
-
No distance to the printer or power supply unit
-
Cell phone is always next to the laptop
-
Space is not intended for working, but for living
Anyone who works from home on a permanent basis should be specifically concerned with electrosmog protection - for long-term health and performance.
Conclusion: electrosmog protection in the office is not a luxury - but a necessity
Electromagnetic fields are omnipresent in our digitalized working world. If you want to protect yourself, you don't have to go back to the analog age - but you do have to consciously use technology and take new precautions.
Electrosmog protection in the office:
-
Create awareness
-
Reduce load
-
Creating a technological balance
Modern solutions such as the ZES Bodyguard offer a smart way to do this: they harmonize the environment, strengthen the body and enable healthy working even in highly technical office environments.
