Electrosmog - what is it?

Electrosmog surrounds us everywhere: WLAN, Bluetooth, mobile phones, electrical devices - all these sources generate electromagnetic fields (EMF). Although invisible and unseen, they affect our everyday lives and our health. This article takes a comprehensive look at electrosmog: its origins, effects and protective measures - and shows you how to calm your body again.

1. origin of electronic radiation in everyday life

1.1 High-frequency fields (HF-EMF)

These fields are generated by mobile communications (2G-5G), WLAN, Bluetooth and NK protocols. RF-EMFs operate in the gigahertz range. Our devices such as cell phones, routers or smartwatches continuously emit signals. All around us - the invisible wave front.

1.2 Low-frequency fields (LF-EMF)

In contrast, there are low-frequency fields (50-60 Hz) generated by power lines (voltage), sockets, household appliances or power rails. These fields can be detected with simple measuring devices - they range from a few microtesla (µT) to a few volts per meter (V/m).

1.3 Static fields

These include fields from direct current systems (batteries, solar cells) and magnetic fields in the magnetic field range (e.g. from transformers or electric motors). Although they have a smaller effect, they have a subliminal effect on our nervous system.

2. how electrosmog is created

Everyday technology constantly generates EMF:

  • Smartphones & tablets: permanently active, even in standby mode

  • WLAN routers: send and receive signals every minute

  • Bluetooth: quiet radio waves in the background (headphones etc.)

  • Household appliances: refrigerators, microwaves, chargers

  • Local infrastructure: power lines, street lighting, lanterns

  • Vehicle technology: electric cars, trains with traction current

  • Industrial & technology zones: Transmission masts, substations, smart home

Each of these sources generates EMF - and often their superposition is the actual source of stress.

3. recognize electrosmog in everyday life

3.1 Measuring instruments & measurements

50 Hz alternating fields can be measured with a simple LF measuring device. Special measuring devices (e.g. Narda) are required for HF-EMF. Freelancers and building biologists often carry out such measurements and evaluate them according to German guidelines (26th BImSchV, ICNIRP).

3.2 Own measurements

Even simple tools help in everyday life: around which router do peaks occur? Is there a hotspot in the corner? Use your cell phone to locate fingers on the base station, check the position on the bed with the LF meter and determine rough guide values with the RF app.

3.3 Observing symptoms

You only notice some things when you consciously measure electrosmog:

  • Headache, dizziness, feeling of pressure

  • Difficulty falling asleep in the evening, light sweating

  • Concentration problems or irritability when commuting

  • Physical weakness or imbalance after days in the office

People rarely react blindly, but those who measure understand.

4. what is scientifically proven?

4.1 Limit values & classifications

Expert bodies such as ICNIRP or WHO have defined limit values (e.g. 40 V/m at 2.4 GHz, 100 µT at 50 Hz). However, this does not change the fact that some people are, for example, electrosensitive - with subjective complaints such as tiredness or insomnia.

4.2 Study situation & research

Cell experiments show disturbances in oxidative stress, in cell membranes, in synaptic activity during RF exposure.
Animal experiments show neurochemical changes and increased stress markers.
Long-term epidemiological studies show weak but significant correlations with headaches, circulatory disorders, restlessness.

4.3 Electrosensitivity & research status

Even though EMFs can lead to irritation, causal proof remains difficult. Nevertheless, consumers show that reducing electrosmog can significantly improve symptoms - and this is precisely where the topic comes in.

5 What complaints can occur?

  • Sleep problems: obstacles to falling asleep, early waking, non-restorative sleep

  • Headaches/migraines: especially in sensitive people

  • Lack of concentration: Office work particularly affected

  • Inner restlessness: pressure in the head, tension

  • Cardiovascular disorders: palpitations, fluctuations in blood pressure

  • Tiredness/fatigue: often worst in the morning

  • Stress level: limited ability to relax

→ The following applies: many symptoms are non-specific - but can be proven by measurement and reduction.

6. protection strategies against electrosmog

6.1 Technology reduction in the environment

  • Switch off WLAN at night (timer); activate router specifically during the day

  • Electrosmog-free power strips in the workplace

  • Flight mode when using the phone or on standby

  • Wired devices (Ethernet) instead of WLAN

  • Activate Bluetooth only when required

6.2 Shielding & furniture arrangement

  • Acid-based shielding paints, shielding films on windows/rooms

  • Metal-free furniture in sleeping areas

  • Maintain a distance from sockets & cables (30-50 cm)

  • Targeted placement of smart home devices

6.3 Physical compensatory behavior

  • Regular times in nature (RF-free zones)

  • Deep relaxation, meditation, adequate breaks

  • Exercise & Sport

6.4 Biotechnical protection solutions

  • ZES Bodyguard technologies(wristband, recovery pad, card)
    → evaluates and supports cellular self-regulation
    → patented | university-tested | commercially used in professional sports and hotels

  • Ranges from a wristband for on the go to a recovery pad against sleep EMF

Focus 7: Bracelet against electrosmog

7.1 Application & suitability for everyday use

  • Wearable 24/7 on the wrist, even during sport or sleep

  • Metal-free, waterproof, practical

  • Accessory + protective function

7.2 Effect & perception

  • Users report: more rest, fewer headaches, better regeneration

  • Effective component: biotechnical oscillation patterns that support the cell field

7.3 Testing in everyday scenarios

  • Office: less fatigue after 6+ hours of screen time

  • Commuters: relaxed journey despite EMF bus/WLAN/charging

  • Leisure: peace and quiet even in a smart home environment

8 Conclusion & outlook

Electrosmog is omnipresent - in everyday life, in the office, in the car. It is invisible, but its effects can be measured and felt. If you want to protect yourself, you have to take the step from "obvious technology" to "invisible protection".

Wristbands such as ZES Bodyguard offer a simple, everyday way to counter invisible weight with a tangible balance. Not shielding, but strengthening. No technical ballast, but a harmonious companion.
