10 Resources That Should Make You Consider EMF Protection

Why You Should Reconsider EMF Protection

Even though WaveBlock® has been an established and well-trusted EMF protection company for multiple years now, our mission has always been the same: inform people about why EMF radiation protection matters and create science-backed products that reduce tech radiation.

WaveBlock® was founded by a father concerned about how much his kids were spending time with Apple AirPods in their ears and iPads in their laps while doing schoolwork from home. After some research, he found that all of our favorite wireless tech devices emit non-ionizing radiation in order to function. He also discovered that children are more susceptible to EMF radiation exposure due to their developing tissues and thinner skulls.

He wanted to protect his family, but couldn’t find anything on the market that actually worked. So he got to work creating EMF-reduction technology himself.

Now, WaveBlock® is proud to carry EMF protection products for wireless earbuds, cell phones, laptops, and tablets. Each WaveBlock® sticker or case is lab tested in FCC-certified labs to prove that they reduce as much EMF radiation as possible without affecting device signal, battery, or connectivity. The hours of engineering, real-world testing, and lab testing put into our products is so impactful that we are proud to be the first and only EMF protection company with a U.S.-granted patent for our technology found in all of our devices.

In a tech-dominated world, the need for continued research on this topic remains ever-important. We highly encourage you to browse our EMF Radiation Education Blog to learn more about EMF sensitivity, ways to reduce EMF pollution in your home, and many other resources.

However, some people are still skeptical about EMF radiation. There are tons of myths and misinformation out there. In the meantime, here are 11 resources that discuss EMFs — everything from what they are to the need for more research to studies already done on the topic.

This article is not meant to be a form of fear mongering. It serves as a way to educate tech consumers about EMF radiation. WaveBlock® isn’t suggesting living your life without your helpful tech devices. We create ways for you to use them in a safer way for added peace of mind.

What is EMF Radiation?

Before we get to the resources, let’s make sure you understand what EMF radiation is in the first place.

EMF stands for electromagnetic field.

Electromagnetic field radiation is a type of energy that travels in waves and is emitted by both natural sources, like the sun and everyday manmade devices. Things like your phone, laptop, Wi-Fi router, and wireless earbuds give off low-level EMFs [specifically radiofrequency (RF) radiation], to send and receive data. This is considered non-ionizing radiation, meaning it doesn’t have enough energy to directly damage DNA the way X-rays or gamma rays can. Even so, your body can absorb some of this energy, which is why scientists continue to study its long-term effects. In simple terms, EMFs are an invisible part of how your tech works, and exposure is part of modern daily life.

It’s also important to note that your tech devices would not work without exposing some level of EMF radiation. Any company claiming to block or completely shield radiation is lying to you. If you blocked EMFs 100%, your device signal and connectivity would not work. At WaveBlock®, we reduce EMF radiation.

11 Sources and Studies That Suggest Caution With EMFs

Each article or study listed below has a link attached. For convenience, we have created small bulleted summaries of what each states.

1) HHS – RFK Jr. Update (2026)

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services removed older language that had previously stated cellphones were definitively safe.
The agency has opened a new federal review into potential health effects of cellphone radiation.
This signals that the federal government considers the issue unresolved and worth re‑evaluating.
The review is ongoing and does not assert a conclusion.

2) EMF Scientist Appeal

Over 250 scientists worldwide signed an appeal urging stronger exposure limits for radiofrequency (RF) radiation.
They argue that existing international guidelines may be outdated given newer research.
The group calls for public health warnings and more protective policies.
The appeal reflects a segment of the scientific community expressing concern, not a consensus position.

3) California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Guidance

CDPH issued precautionary recommendations for reducing cellphone radiation exposure.
The guidance suggests practical steps like using speakerphones, increasing distance, and avoiding carrying phones against the body.
The document does not claim proven harm but acknowledges uncertainty.
It represents a U.S. state health agency advising precautionary behavior.

4) American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)

The AAP highlights that children may be more vulnerable to long‑term RF exposure due to developing brains and thinner skulls.
They call for more research on long‑term effects, especially in youth.
The organization encourages parents to reduce unnecessary exposure.
Their stance emphasizes caution rather than definitive risk claims.

5) Multiple Talks/Speeches from Dr. Devra Davis

Dr. Davis is an epidemiologist and former U.S. government advisor who has raised concerns about long‑term cellphone radiation exposure.
She has published research and testified before the U.S. Senate on potential cancer risks.
Her work argues that current safety standards may not reflect modern usage patterns.
She is a prominent voice advocating for precautionary policies.

6) Ample Research Done by Dr. John Wargo (Yale University)

Dr. Wargo’s research focuses on environmental health risks, including RF exposure.
He has expressed concern about long‑term cellphone use, particularly for children.
His work emphasizes gaps in current research and the need for updated safety assessments.
He generally supports precautionary approaches until more data is available.

7) Berkeley Cell Phone Notice (Court‑Upheld)

Berkeley required retailers to inform consumers that carrying a phone against the body may exceed federal exposure guidelines.
A federal court upheld the ordinance, ruling the warning was factually accurate and not misleading.
The decision affirmed that the information aligns with existing FCC guidance.
The notice does not claim harm but highlights how exposure limits are tested.

8) France Government (ANSES)

France restricts WiFi in nurseries and limits wireless exposure in schools.
These policies are based on a precautionary approach to children’s health.
The national health agency ANSES has periodically reviewed RF research and recommended caution.
France is one of the countries with more proactive child‑focused RF policies.

9) U.S. NTP (National Toxicology Program) – NIH

The NTP conducted a large, multi‑year animal study on cellphone radiation.
It found “clear evidence” of certain tumors in male rats exposed to high RF levels.
The study also noted limitations, including differences between animal exposure and typical human use.
It remains one of the most significant government‑funded studies showing biological effects.

10) WHO IARC Classification

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the WHO, classified RF radiation as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2B).
This category means there is limited human evidence and insufficient animal evidence.
The classification does not assert that RF radiation causes cancer but indicates a potential risk that warrants further study.
It places RF radiation in the same category as things like pickled vegetables and engine
