EMF Reduction Mats for Laptops

There is concern over EMF radiation – and for good reason. These days, we find it all over the place. While EMF radiation occurs naturally in nature, our electronics emit it as well. Too much and you may have health issues. Here is more on EMF reduction mats for laptops. Do they work? What should you look for before buying one? And, how do they minimize EMF radiation?

EMF Radiation

According to the National Institute of Environmental Health (NIH)

Electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) are invisible areas of energy, often referred to as Radiation, that are associated with the use of electrical power and various forms of natural and man-made lighting. EMFs are typically grouped into one of two categories by their frequency:

• Non-ionizing: low-level radiation which is generally perceived as harmless to humans
• Ionizing: high-level radiation which has the potential for cellular and DNA damage

Electronic items like cell phones, WiFi, and laptops emit EMF radiation. While the amount may be small, a lot has to do with proximity. Your cell phone is near your head when you’re talking on the phone, and many people keep their laptop on their laps.

EMF Reduction Mats for Laptops

One thing to keep in mind is that laptops emit from all sides. This means an EMF reduction mat will help a little, but won’t get rid of all EMF radiation.

One reduction mat is the DefenderShield Laptop EMF & Heat Blocker. This one has a few features that are important, and DefenderShield is a major player in the EMF blocking universe.

It features a polymer upper and lower layer with internal EMF-blocking layers. The texture for the top layer is made out of a rubber-type of material that helps keep your laptop more stable. The bottom layer is a comfortable polymer made out of a harder material and fits up to 17” laptops. It is also waterproof, which is a good thing just in case of a spill.

The SYB Laptop Pad is one with some important features as well. It has an anti-slip grip, it’s slim, easy to clean, and more. But most important is that it claims to have a triple blocking power for EMF radiation. It blocks RF from the bluetooth and WiFi. It also has ELF block that protects from the AC power charger, and it blocks heat.

EMF Reduction

Whether it’s your laptop or your cell phone, EMF reduction is important. You can’t stop all of it, but you can minimize some of the effects.
