EMF pollution is an issue for essentially everyone, whether young or old. Though, it constitutes a higher risk for children and the elderly.

Children, because their body has not fully developed yet. A child’s skull is more permeable to electromagnetic radiations. On top of this, today’s children have been exposed to continuously high levels of EMF since birth. This is unlike adults which were born at a time when the electrosmog was not as severe as nowadays. This means that today’s children are more likely to reach the critical threshold of EMF overexposure. Hence the need for shielding them as much as possible.

The elderly are also at a higher risk of EMF overexposure, but for different reasons. Electromagnetic radiations constitute a form of inflammation, which adds up to the other usual sources of low-grade systemic chronic inflammation:

• Immunosenescence and other ageing factors [source];

• Sarcopenia and osteoporosis;

• Neurodegenerative diseases [source];

• Autoimmune diseases;

• Cancer;

• Cardiovascular diseases;

• Metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease;

• Obesity;

• Depression;

• Isolation and chronic stress;

• Xenobiotics;

• Disturbed sleep;

• Lack of physical activity;

• Unhealthy diet;

• Dybiosis;

• Chronic infections;

• Other lifestyle factors (smoking, excessive exposure to the sun).

The benefits of EMFIS® certifications extend to farm animals and pets, who also tend to be sensitive to electromagnetic radiations.
