Does Cellsafe really work?

Recently, there was a story on a national television programme about "Cellsafe", a device that claims to divert mobile phone radiation away from the head when the phone is held to the ear. Alasdair Philips, from "Powerwatch", has written a very informative piece about this device which can be accessed here . In this commentary, he describes not only what Cellsafe does, but also explains that it may actually make mobile phone usage more dangerous rather than making it safer.

Improve air quality with indoor plants

To help remove chemicals from indoor air, keep indoor plants. The plants absorb the chemicals, which are then broken down by microbes that live on the plant roots. Good plants to use include Bamboo Palm (Chamaedorea seifrizii), Rubber Plant (Ficus robusta), Dwarf Date Palm (Phoenix robelenii), Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata "Bostoniensis") and Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum sp.)

Are your gas appliances making you sick?

Gas heaters and cook tops are common household appliances. Hence, in the minds of consumers, they are generally not associated with ill health. However, if they are not functioning properly, they may, in fact, be health hazards. In the current issue of Wellness Matters, the Building Wellness Newsletter, we look at some of the effects that gas and gas combustion products may have on health and give tips for the safe use of gas appliances. To read about this, our book review and our Hint of the Month, subscribe to our newsletter using the registration panel above.

High magnetic field on water pipe

Lisa asked Building Wellness to conduct an EMF and RF assessment of her home, as she wanted to know whether or not the field levels were safe for her young children. While they did not have any health concerns, she wanted peace of mind regarding their home environment. Her main query was whether or not her home was being affected by a large transformer located on a power pole on the opposite side of the street.
