James normally slept well, but since moving into his new home, he had experienced headaches when he went to bed and was unable to sleep. As he had heard that electromagnetic radiation could cause these effects, he asked Building Wellness to do EMF and radio frequency assessments of his home.

Test Findings

The magnetic field readings at his pillow position were very low. While radio frequency readings were below the maximum level set as the Australian guideline, they were significantly higher than the level deemed safe by building biologists. The source of this radiation was traced to a new DECT phone on his bedside table.

Recommendations 

James was strongly advised to replace this appliance with a corded phone. As he preferred not to do this, it was recommended that he remove the DECT phone from the bedroom and place it in a position away from areas where he spent a lot of time. 

Outcomes 

When the phone was moved, the radio frequency readings at his pillow psoition reduced to almost zero. James was once again free of headaches and able to sleep soundly all night.
