Episode notes
Distance Is Your First Line Of Defense
- Keep devices two to four feet away to reduce about 98% of RF exposure.
- Prioritize distance first before buying shielding products.
A Tragic Case That Spurred Development
- Daniel recalled a child who developed frontal lobe cancer after heavy phone use and that motivated cell-phone shielding work.
- That case pushed DefenderShield to create phone-specific protection.
Protect Kids By Increasing Distance
- For young children, increase distance from screens and use shielding if devices must be very close.
- Small changes in position greatly lower exposure intensity and duration.
