The European (EU) Parliament and European governments have been warning citizens about the adverse health effects of electromagnetic and microwave radiation for years. The World Health Organization has also recently classified Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields emitted by wireless communication devices as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”, in the same category as Lead，DDT and Phthalate. To protect the health of yourself and your family (especially children), please take precaution.
- Replace home-use cordless phones with wired phones (landlines). Cordless phone base emits microwave all day long, whether there are calls or not.
- Replace Wi-Fi network with wired computer network: Just get a cable for connection. Even laptop computers can be connected to the internet with cables. Radiofrequency signals are always the strongest when broadcasted from inside your own home, so removing your Wi-Fi router helps, even if you cannot avoid your neighbours' Wi-Fi coverage. You can also print out this flyer and pass to your neighbours, to share the information with them.
- Hardwired network provides much more informational security, e.g. for online banking and online purchases.
- Replace microwave oven with oven, toaster oven or stove top for cooking - the food tastes better, too!
2．Reduce
- Limit cell phone use to essential calls - keep calls short. Text messages instead of voice calls whenever possible. Wired landline for non-urgent long chats. Use mobile browsers (e.g. Opera Mini) which have option for image-free downloads.
- Set cell phone on "airplane" mode when you don't need it, to suspend connection and radiation temporarily.
- If it's not possible to hardwire computers because of physical limitations at the location, then turn on Wi-Fi only whenyou need to use it, and turn it off especially overnight. Some have found it helpful to use an adaptor with timer to turn on/off Wi-Fi router automatically at pre-set hours. Note that while Wi-Fi is on, each router continuously broadcasts 2.4billion cycles of microwave per second into its surroundings. This frequency penetrates walls and human bodies.
- Say NO to "Smart Meters" which emit microwave at every house across the province.
3．Reposition
- Wireless devices (cell phones, smart phones, iTouch, iPads, WiFi-enabled laptops etc.) emit the highest amount of radiation during talk-time or data transmission. Therefore, keep devices on the table or holder rather than on your lap or in your hands, and away from the head, while in communication. Talk with speakerphone or wired headset.
- If you use BlueTooth while talking and keep the phone in your pocket at the same time, you'll get maximum absorption of the radiation at your head and your body. Take off BlueTooth when you don't need it.
- Carry cell phones in handbags or brief cases instead of in pockets against your body: Microwave radiation causes infertility and, for pregnant women, affects the brain development of the fetus.
- Keep cell phones and WiFi-enabled devices away from children and babies.
- Do not position a Wi-Fi router or cordless phone base close to your brain, e.g. at bedside table or at your desk near head level.
- When you sleep, don't place a cell phone or radio alarm clock at bedside. Turn off your cell phone at night.
- Avoid using baby monitors. If it's absolutely required, then avoid placing the units near the bedside or against the body of you or your baby. Position it at the other side of the room.

减低电磁微波辐射
減低電磁微波輻射
三部曲
- 以有線電話(舊式插綫電話)取代無線電話。無綫家用電話的電話座是長期不斷發射電磁微波頻率的。
- 以有線電腦網絡取代Wi- Fi無線網絡：插電綫便可，laptop手提電腦也是可插綫的。即使你不能避免你鄰居的Wi- Fi覆蓋，如能減少自己家裏發出的信號，對健康亦有幫助， 因自家發出的信號是最強的。閣下亦可將這單張印出派與鄰居，分響這重要的訊息。
- 其實有線電腦網絡對資料之保障 (如網上銀行帳目及網上購物)比Wi-Fi安全得多。
- 以焗爐、多士焗爐及爐頭取代微波爐煮食—食品味道也更好！
2．減用 Reduce - 手機通話只用於真正需要時，並減短通話時間。短信代替手機通話。用有綫電話作不要緊的聊天。
- 當你不需用手機時，將機内設定轉爲“飛行”模式 （Airplane Mode)，暫停波頻，暫停輻射。
- 如樓宇設計不容許用有線電腦網絡，請盡量減少Wi-Fi開着的時間。當你需要用時才開，不用時將其關掉（特別在晚上睡覺時）。亦可用有時間設定之萬能插蘇，定時開關Wi- Fi。
- 請注意：雖然眼不能看見，其實每個Wi-Fi發射器在開着時持續發出每秒24億次之電磁微波到其周圍環境，這個頻率會通過牆壁和人體。
- 堅拒安裝在全省每個住宅發出微波的“智能電錶”(Smart Meters).
3．移位 Reposition - 無綫設備（手機，iTouch，iPad，有Wi-Fi功能的手提電腦等）發出輻射量最高是於通話或信號傳輸時。因此，在這時不要把手機、儀器放在手、腿上，或置于頭部。最好放在桌上、離開身體，通話用免提擴音器或有綫耳筒。如您使用藍牙聽筒通話，並同時將手機放在衣袋裡，你頭部和身體會同時吸收到輻射。不需藍牙時，勿戴在耳上。
- 盡量把手機放在手袋或公事包内，而不是貼近身體的衣袋裡，因微波輻射會引致不育，而對孕婦，可影響胎兒的腦部發展。請把手機和接駁了Wi-Fi的設備遠離嬰兒和兒童。
- Wi-Fi天綫位置不要靠近你的大腦，例如：睡床旁邊或在辦公桌上接近頭顱的水平。
- 睡時於床頭櫃不要放手機、家用無綫電話或鬧鐘收音機。睡時把手機關上。
- 最好不用嬰兒收聽器。如不能不用，請勿將收聽器放在嬰兒或您的床頭或身上，改爲放在房間另一角。
歐盟及歐洲多國政府警告市民關於電磁和微波輻射對健康造成不良影響已有好幾年。世界衛生組織最近亦公佈電磁波有致癌風險, 特別是腦瘤，跟塑化劑、重金屬鉛和DDT殺蟲劑屬同一等級 。為保障閣下和您家人（尤其是兒童）的健康，請採取預防措施。

减低电磁微波辐射
- 以有线电脑网络取代Wi-Fi的无线网络：插电线便可，笔记本手提电脑也是可插线的。即使你不能避免你邻居的无线网络覆盖，如能减少自己家里发出的信号，对健康亦有帮助，因自家发出的信号是最强的。阁下亦可将这单张印出派与邻居，分响这重要的讯息。
- 以焗炉，多士焗炉及炉头取代微波炉煮食—食品味道也更好！2．減用 Reduce
- 当你不需用手机时，将机内设定转为“飞行“模式（Airplane Mode），暂停波频，暂停辐射。
- 如楼宇设计不容许用有线电脑网络，请尽量减少Wi-Fi开着的时间。当你需要用时才开，不用时将其关掉（特别在晚上睡觉时）。亦可用有时间设定之万能插苏，定时开关Wi-Fi。
- 3．移位 Reposition
- 尽量把手机放在手袋或公事包内，而不是贴近身体的衣袋里，因微波辐射会引致不育，而对孕妇，可影响胎儿的脑部发展。请把手机和接驳了Wi-Fi无线网络的设备远离婴儿和儿童。
- Wi-Fi的天线位置不要靠近你的大脑，例如：睡床旁边或在办公桌上接近头颅的水平。
- 最好不用婴儿收听器。如不能不用，请勿将收听器放在婴儿或您的床头或身上，改为放在房间另一角。
