Consider the below tips to lower your exposure to harmful EMFs emitted from your computer or laptop, and begin to protect yourself from laptop radiation immediately. #1. Make Sure Your Computer Equipment is “Grounded” Grounding is the process of providing electricity with an effective and efficient path to the earth. If your PC equipment is ungrounded, particularly your laptops, placing your hands on the laptop’s keyboard can engender high electric field exposures. To start with, check whether your PC is grounded: If your power cable has three prongs, then your PC is grounded. And if your PC power cord has two prongs, it means your laptop is ungrounded If your laptop has a 2 pin plug, you can get it grounded with a laptop grounding cord. This is going to enable the EMFs generated by your PC to route through the wire and not through you. In case you’re as yet not sure if your outlet is grounded, you can get this checked with an outlet circuit tester. This may require minor electrical kn...
