Some sites give general guidelines:

  • Cell phones: At least 6 inches away from the body.
  • Laptops: At least 20 inches away from the body.
  • Tablets: At least 12 inches away from the body.

So why is every inch crucial when using your devices more safely? 

Well, it's all about something called the inverse-square law. 

Think of it like spreading frosting on a cake. 

The further you apply it, the thinner it gets. 

The same goes for EMF radiation. 

As it moves forward, it expands and distributes in the space around the source, weakening its potency in a smaller area. 

No wonder even Apple advises against putting your iPhone in your pocket!

Even a few millimeters can make a massive difference in your exposure level. 

According to the iPhone 4 manual, "When using iPhone near your body for voice calls or for wireless data transmission over a cellular network, keep iPhone at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) away from the body, and only use carrying cases, belt clips, or holders that do not have metal parts that maintain at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) separation between iPhone and the body."

So, remember to give your devices some breathing room.

It's a small step that can make a big difference in reducing your exposure to EMF radiation!
