Radia Smart

Our Story

When I was pregnant with my first child, I started to become more aware of electromagnetic radiation from cell phones, iPad, laptops. I was working full time as a computer system support and I was surrounded with radiation-emitting devices like laptops and cell phones every day.

Like many mums, I want to provide the best environment for my baby. With an increase population using radiation-emitting devices like cell phones, iPad, and wireless network each year, I started to wonder what the risks and health impacts for pregnant women and families in the long term are.

So, I started to do some studies and research on electromagnetic field and became more aware about the risks and health impacts of everyday radiation (Non-ionizing radiation emitted by sources like cell phones, computers, wireless towers and power line.) We are more concern for our babies and young children as they are more vulnerable to cell phone and wireless radiation because their bodies and brains are still growing and developing. Their DNA replication is at the highest rates and they absorb more radiation than adults.

The facts

The current generation of children are the first to be exposed to radiofrequency radiation for almost their whole lives. This sort of radiation has a cumulative effect. Some numbers, for the past 50 years, the artificial electromagnetic (EMF) radiation has increased by quintillion time, that is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 1 followed by 18 zeros. The U.S adds 20,000 new cell towers per year. As of 2018, there is approximately 350,000 cell towers in the US and there are 4.88 billion of mobile phone users worldwide.

On average, people spend approximately 3 hours per day using their smartphones, that is 3 hours of EMF exposure on daily basis. In the UK, 53% of children are now cell phone owners by the age of seven. One in four children spend 4 to 6 hours online a day. The risks for children are genuinely concerning.

The research

In 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified EMF as possible carcinogenic to humans based on an increased risk for glioma, a type of brain cancer associated with wireless phone use. In 2018, the National Toxicology Program released a full report about the potential health effects from long-term exposure based on two-year toxicology studies in rats and mice. The study states that there is “clear evidence” and “some evidence” for certain organs to develop tumors due to cell phone.

What we do?

We provide and simple shielding solutions to reduce radiofrequency radiation from everyday technology such as WiFi, cell phones, Bluetooth. Since 2016, we have been raising awareness on health effect caused by wireless radiation and aiming to reduce its impact. By raising the awareness, we believe people will take precautionary action and make smarter decisions to reduce the exposure.

With increasing evidence and advice from government and health experts, I felt that more people need to know, particularly parents and pregnant women about the effects of radiation. My partner, who is a biomedical engineer and I launched Radia Smart. Our vision is to create awareness of everyday radiation and its health impacts so that people can make smart decision for themselves and their families. We would like to provide simple and effective solutions for reducing everyday radiation exposure.

We provide information around electromagnetic radiation, development in other countries, policies, the latest research and tips to reduce EMF exposure in general. Our Instagram @radiasmart would be a good place to start. Tons of information on the webpage too.

Our products

Radia Smart use custom shielding fabric to reduce radiofrequency up to 50 db. Our fabric is tested by an independent lab. The manufacturer has a handful of electromagnetic shielding fabric invention patents for non-ionizing EMF protection products. We take great care in testing the product, choosing the suitable fabric for comfort, fits for purpose and durability. Radia Smart shielding fabric is one of the softest in the market and yet still highly effective in reducing exposure to wireless radiation.

Our new fabric for phone faraday bags or pouch has greater shielding effectiveness more than 80 db. This will completely cut off phone reception, reduce the EMF exposure and protect your privacy. To put into perspective, a concrete wall or steel door can block or absorb cell signal up to 35 dB and our fabric provides better protection than these.

The greatest source of EMF radiation for an every day person is whatever that is within an arm’s reach. The cell phone, WIFI router, 5G antennas, tablets, laptops and so on. We spend extended hours with these technologies too. This is why our product matters; we offer the additional protection against wireless radiation whilst we are still connected.

Radia Smart product range comes from EMF blankets, belly band, hood, hat, beanie, poncho, faraday bag and nursing cover. We put in relentless effort to improve our product design and taking customers feedbacks to further update our product design and quality. We inform, we innovate, we reduce exposure to wireless radiation. We are Radia Smart.
