Laptop computers emit electromagnetic fields (EMFs).
Typically they emit magnetic fields, electric fields and radio frequency radiation.
Is this dangerous?
That depends.
Depends on what?
It depends on what laptop you’re using.
I’ve found radiation emission levels to vary enormously between different brands of laptop.
Even laptops of the same brand but different models, can emit significantly different levels of radiation.
But more than anything it depends on how you use your laptop.
This is what I want to share with you, how you can safely use your laptop computer.
So watch this video:

Are you surprised?
It’s always surprising when you start measuring your exposures with an EMF meter.
We’re always making assumptions.
EMFs are invisible and fairly unpredictable so its very easy to make the wrong assumptions.
The wrong assumption that you’re in danger of making here is ‘using a laptop with a computer pad, in this case a Harapad, makes it safe’.
It can make it safer, yes.
But not necessarily safe.
As my video shows, even with the computer pad radiation emissions are still 25 times higher than safe levels – as recommended by the BioInitiative Report.
Is it because the computer pad I’ve used here is defective and not doing its job?
No.
The computer pad does shield.
But shielding only ever goes so far.
This is one of the most important lesson to be learned from this video.
Important Lessons To Be Retained From This Video
What other important lessons should you retain from this video?
  • never use your laptop on your lap – even with a laptop shield
  • distance is everything, each extra centimeter you put between you and your laptop decreases your magnetic field exposure exponentially
  • if your body is in close proximity to your laptop, even using your laptop on your desk can expose you to high magnetic fields
  • a laptop shield offers virtually no protection from WiFi radiation
This video demonstrates radiation exposures from a laptop but what I show here doesn’t apply just to laptops. The same principles apply if you’re using a computer pad to shield you from radiation from an iPad or other computer tablet.
The EMF meter I use in this video is a Trifield meter, click here to see my review.
