ᐅ Electromagnetic pollution from the electrical distribution panel

I have just moved into a multi-family house, and where I planned to set up my bedroom, there is an electrical panel inside the wall that serves the entire building. All the wiring converges there. Although the access to the panel is on the other side of the wall, so not inside my bedroom, I am still concerned about potential negative health effects from electromagnetic fields. Unfortunately, rearranging the rooms is not an option.

As a non-expert, what options do I have to protect myself from electromagnetic fields? Is there some kind of shielding that I could install on the wall?

[h=2]Every person is actually differently sensitive to electromagnetic pollution. If it bothers you, you can install a shielding material:

How do shielding materials work?[/h] When electromagnetic pollution hits a shielding material, there are three possible outcomes for the radiation:
  • The material reflects the radiation
  • The material partially allows the radiation to pass through
  • The material absorbs the radiation

Hello builders, there is already a thread on the topic of electromagnetic pollution in the forum; if you use the forum’s search function, you can read it.

A question for builder Egon: "Fabric absorbs radiation"? How is that supposed to work physically, like a radiation storage?

There are modern building materials capable of absorbing part of the electromagnetic radiation (electromagnetic smog).
I don’t know exactly how it works, but that’s not really important 😉

Well, it is quite important; when spending money to obtain a technical feature, you naturally want to know whether it is technically feasible to actually achieve the promised functionality.

Yes, I would also be interested in the function of these shielding products, as I definitely don’t want to spend money on gimmicks….
