Concerns about radio frequencies and health

Nearby mobile phone towers and household and business wireless equipment are the main sources of radio frequencies (RF) in buildings.

While controversy abounds regarding the adverse health effects of these frequencies, some conditions which may be associated with RF exposure include

• sleep disturbances
• tiredness
• headaches
• irritability
• forgetfulness
• learning difficulties
• tinnitus

While there is much debate around what constitutes a safe level of exposure to radio frequency radiation, building biologists, who are concerned about the potential adverse effects of RF fexposure, recommend low exposure levels that are in line with the most stringent international guidelines.

Minimising RF exposure preferably involves elimination of the radiation source. When this is not possible, the use of shielding materials may be required.

Tips for reducing exposure to radio frequencies are included in the 20 page Building Wellness book which is available from our on-line shop . 

You will be given a hand written report at the time of assessment, including details of both the Australian and Precautionary Guidelines.   

Should you require a full typed report detailing all findings and recommendatiions, a fee of $195 will apply in adddition to the consultation fee. 

Installation of RF shielding materials  

Should you decide to implement shielding to protect your indoor environment from the radiation associated with nearby mobile phone towers, etc., our consultants can advise you about the available options (e.g. paint, fabrics, window film and refer you to a shielding specialist for quotation and installation details.
