UNDERSTANDING EMFS
The invisible energy all around us
Electromagnetic fields are created anywhere electricity flows or wireless signals are sent. As our world becomes more connected, understanding this invisible layer of our environment has never been more important.
THE BASICS
Where do EMFs come from?
Everyday technologies emit electromagnetic fields. Here are the primary sources we encounter daily.
Smartphones & Tablets
Mobile phones communicate by sending radio signals to nearby base stations. Because we keep these devices close to our bodies throughout the day, they're one of our most consistent sources of EMF exposure.
Wi-Fi & Networks
Wi-Fi routers and wireless networks run continuously in homes, offices, and public spaces — creating a persistent layer of radio frequency energy in nearly every indoor environment we occupy.
5G & Infrastructure
The expansion of 5G brings faster connectivity but also more antennas and base stations closer to where we live and work, increasing the density of electromagnetic signals in our daily surroundings.
WHAT PEOPLE REPORT
Commonly associated symptoms
Some people notice symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, sleep disturbances, tinnitus, or trouble concentrating, which they associate with prolonged time around wireless technology.
Current safety guidelines focus mainly on preventing heating effects from EMFs and set limits using a measure called Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). These standards were last updated by the FCC in 1996 — before the era of smartphones, Wi-Fi, and 5G.
As technology advances and our reliance on connected devices deepens, the conversation around EMF exposure continues to evolve.
BEING PROACTIVE
Simple precautionary habits
While enjoying the benefits of modern technology, some experts encourage simple precautionary habits to lower unnecessary exposure. These small adjustments can be part of a mindful approach to daily tech use.
You don't have to give up your devices — just be intentional about how you use them. Small changes in proximity and usage habits can make a meaningful difference over time.
For those looking for a more comprehensive approach, VIVOBASE devices provide continuous protection that works alongside your everyday technology without disrupting it.
A GROWING CONVERSATION
Why awareness is increasing
The scale and proximity of EMF exposure is fundamentally different today than even a decade ago.
Last FCC Update
The current FCC exposure limits for cell phones were set in 1996 — before smartphones, ubiquitous Wi-Fi, and 5G existed. These guidelines only address tissue heating, not the biological effects researchers are now studying.
Classified as Possibly Carcinogenic
The World Health Organization classifies radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2B), based on an increased risk for glioma associated with wireless phone use.
Constant Exposure
Unlike previous generations, we now live in environments with continuous wireless signals — from routers, smart devices, cell towers, Bluetooth, and baby monitors running around the clock.
Vulnerable Populations
Children absorb more radiation than adults due to thinner skulls and developing nervous systems. Many children are exposed from infancy through baby monitors, tablets, and household wireless devices.
TAKE ACTION
Ready to protect your family?
VIVOBASE creates a natural sferic field that reduces EMF penetration into the body by over 90% — without disrupting your devices.
The VIVOBASE Home is engineered to last more than 10 years and covers 90 feet in every direction. Simply plug it into any standard outlet, confirm the indicator light is on, and keep everyone inside the field protected — family, pets, and plants. No setup, no maintenance, no device interference.
The VIVOBASE Move offers portable EMF protection for when you're on the go — at airports, the office, or anywhere outside the home. Simply charge the device, keep it on your person, and stay protected up to 14 feet in all directions. The updated 2025 model features a user-replaceable battery.
