When it comes to making healthier choices, awareness is always the first step. That applies to everything from nutrition to household chemicals to electromagnetic fields (EMFs).
Around the world, a growing number of organizations are leading the way in researching, educating, and advocating for safer technology use. The goal behind this movement isn’t to stir up fear, but rather to share information and encourage thoughtful decision-making in homes, schools, businesses, and community spaces around the globe.
Let’s take a look at some of the voices contributing to the EMF awareness conversation and highlight the incredible work they’ve already done in promoting safer technology habits.
The Organizations Behind EMF Awareness
Children’s Health Defense
Perhaps one of the most well-known organizations tackling the EMF safety conversation is the Children’s Health Defense, founded by current Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. With a mission to eliminate toxic exposure for children, they are active in supporting research, pursuing litigation, and pushing for policy changes in schools.
Environmental Health Trust
Led by scientists and public health experts, the Environmental Health Trust (EHT) provides a wealth of free educational resources for the public. Their platform breaks down the complexities of EMF exposure effects and regulations, making the topics more accessible for families. On top of offering public health resources, the EHT also works to advance research on EMF exposure and provides this data to policymakers and advocates for stronger local rules on cell tower deployment.

The current president of EHT, Dr. Kent Chamberlin, joined us for an episode of The Wave Forward podcast to break down current safety regulations. Find out more about his interview here.
Americans for Responsible Technology
Americans for Responsible Technology takes a grassroots approach to advocacy by united local groups across the United States. They help communities organize local advocacy groups, communicate with legislators, and provide petitions and other free resources on their website.

Electromagnetic Safety Alliance
Founded in 2009, the Electromagnetic Safety Alliance has spent nearly two decades “making the invisible, visible,” by providing information about health and environmental risks associated with exposure to electromagnetic radiation.
Building Biology Institute
This nonprofit organization promotes building healthy homes and schools, addressing indoor environmental quality which includes electromagnetic radiation. They provide courses, seminars, and certification programs to help “secure homes, schools, and workspaces from toxic indoor compounds and electromagnetic pollution.”
Physicians for Safe Technology
Is your doctor talking about EMF exposure? The experts behind Physicians for Safe Technology are on a mission to provide trusted leadership to promote healthier, safer environments through safer tech use at home, in schools, at work, and in the healthcare world. Their goal is to educate healthcare professionals on the health effects of technology use and provide tools to diagnose and treat patients affected.
Why Awareness Matters
None of these groups push the idea of rejecting technology; they simply want to make sure we’re using it wisely. After all, our tech has become an integral part of life. Our world is more connected than ever before, with families, friends, and colleagues virtually coming together from around the globe. Technology is incredible, but just like with any other tool, it needs to be used safely.
These organizations that are advocating for stricter safety guidelines, raising awareness about the health impacts of EMFs, and teaching families how to minimize their exposure all remind us that technology and wellness can co-exist.
How Innovation Adds to the Conversation
Much of the conversation surrounding EMFs centers around minimizing exposure, but there’s another side to the story that’s equally as important. After all, progress in our tech-heavy world doesn’t just come from saying “no” to potential risks; it also comes from saying “yes” to solutions that can make our electromagnetic environment more balanced.
Eliminating or avoiding EMFs entirely is nearly impossible in today’s world, but forward-thinking innovators like the ones behind Aires are finding ways to clean up the invisible. In doing so, Aires is also helping raise awareness about the impacts of EMFs and why it’s important to give your body extra support.
Partnerships with high-visibility organizations like the UFC and the Target Center – home of the Minnesota Timberwolves – help bring awareness of how important a tuned environment is. With major athletes using Aires to optimize their performance and sharing this with their fan base, entirely new audiences are becoming aware of how EMFs interact with our environments, our minds, and our bodies.
How You Can Join the Movement
You don’t have to have a huge following or a public platform to be part of the conversation. Here are a few simple steps you can take to get involved:
Follow and share the work of these organizations on social media
Stay informed about local legislation and initiatives surrounding technology
Make simple changes in your home to reduce unnecessary exposure
Share what you know about EMF awareness with your friends, family, and community
As conversations about EMF safety continue to grow, the work of these organizations keeps the momentum going in the right direction. From large non-profits to grassroots advocacy groups to companies like Aires bringing the topic to mainstream spaces, each is playing a vital role in shaping a healthier relationship with our technology. And by supporting and amplifying these voices, we can help raise awareness in our own communities. Let’s be part of the conversation that promotes living well in a connected world.
