Pollution by invisible high frequency radiation

Everyday utensils are completely packed with technology these days. A smart type of lighting might be connected to a Bluetooth or WiFi operated panel so you can lessen or brighten the lights from any spot in the house. Or you could hook up your mobile phone with the central heating inside your living room, so while you’re going home and when you’re stuck in a traffic jam, you can remotely turn on the heating from a distance. By the time you arrive at home and you park your car in the garage the house is nice and warm. All of these useful features make life much easier. However these appliances also generate an invisible troublemaker: high frequency radiation.

Not everyone enjoys (pollution by) high frequency radiation. This phenomena is classified into two main parts: radio waves and microwaves. These types of waves can be found in all sorts of wireless connections. Even old fashioned radios or the internet that’s part of your house make use of it. The signals produced this way all move in chaotic patterns in the ether. However this will only be an issue the moment multiple devices are operating on the same frequency.

Spontaneous generation of radio and microwaves

When household appliances are being designed and tested they are also tested for microwaves as well. Even products that do not use radio or microwaves can still cause problems for devices that are extremely sensitive to it. For example laundry machines generate electromagnetic waves by spinning the drums with high velocity. At home you won’t find any trouble using these tools. Most appliances are not sensitive enough to change significantly in behaviour. In case you’re an inventor or when you’re experimenting with sensitive devices with antennas in that case every type of microwave pollution is unwanted.

Absorbing microwaves and radiowaves

For professional purposes there are materials brought onto the market to catch and absorb micro- and radiowaves. An example of this are the polystyrene pyramidal structures attached to walls, ceilings and in some cases even floors. The sharp points of this microwave absorption material combined with other properties like the flat surfaces on all of the sides make it possible to influence the reflection of microwaves and absorb them in a controlled fashion. A lot of laboratories that work with electromagnetic radiation apply such materials to the inner walls of their facility.

Comparable with sound waves

A comparable type of material is used in the music industry. In this case the trouble doesn’t arise from sources emitting radiation with high frequency, but there is another source of problem namely sound. In the same way the absorbent material is applied on surfaces like ceilings and walls. For music studios it’s usually not necessary to attach the foam spikes to the floors. The effect is the same however. Sound bounces off the many surfaces and loses energy and intensity along the way. Because of this it appears as if you’re in open air, you won’t be bothered by echoing.
