SafeSleeve Shielding Effectiveness Study Results

Independent laboratory testing has verified the effectiveness of the SafeSleeve shielding material in significantly reducing a mobile phone user’s exposure to radiation.

Cell phone radiation exposure is measured by the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)—a scientific standard that quantifies how much electromagnetic energy the body absorbs. These measurements can only be accurately performed under highly controlled conditions, inside an anechoic chamber using specialised equipment.

The results are impressive. Testing on an iPhone 5S demonstrated that the SafeSleeve shielding material reduced SAR levels by up to 95% across the three main cellular frequency bands. This confirms that SafeSleeve provides meaningful protection by dramatically lowering radiation exposure without compromising phone performance.

SAR levels with and without SafeSleeve Shielding Technology shows at least 95% reduction across all frequencies. Testing was conducted at an independent lab by the SafeSleeve supplier of the shielding material.

EMF FAQs

What are EMFs?

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are invisible fields of energy created by both nature and modern technology. Natural EMFs from the Earth and the sun help regulate life and biology. But the artificial EMFs we’re surrounded by today, from Wi-Fi, mobile phones, smart meters, power lines, and now 5G, are very different. They are constant, intense, and out of alignment with what our bodies are designed to handle.

Why are EMFs harmful?

Our bodies are electrical by nature - our hearts, brains, and cells all rely on delicate electrical signalling. When we are constantly exposed to human-made EMFs, research shows this can cause stress on our nervous system, oxidative stress in cells, sleep disruption, and changes to melatonin levels. While guidelines focus only on preventing heating effects (like tissue warming), growing evidence suggests that even low-level, chronic exposure may affect health over time.

What are the health effects people report?

Many people living in high-EMF environments report poor sleep, headaches, brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, or difficulty concentrating. Some also notice sensitivity symptoms such as tingling, heart palpitations, or skin irritation when close to wireless devices. This is sometimes described as electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). Even if you don’t “feel” EMFs, your body may still be under stress from the exposure.

Why is 5G a concern?

5G adds another layer to our already saturated environment. It uses higher frequencies and denser networks of antennas, meaning more constant, close-range exposure. Studies on long-term health effects of 5G are still emerging, but because these frequencies are new to the human environment, many scientists and wellness experts advise taking a precautionary approach.

Are children more vulnerable to EMFs?

Yes. Children’s bodies are still developing and their tissues, skulls, and nervous systems are more permeable and sensitive to EMFs. They are also growing up with far greater lifetime exposure than previous generations. Many families choose to limit device use, reduce Wi-Fi at night, and keep children’s bedrooms as low-EMF as possible to support healthy growth.

How can I protect myself and my family?

The most effective approach is reduce, distance, protect: • Reduce unnecessary sources: switch Wi-Fi off at night, disable Bluetooth when not in use, unplug unused devices. • Distance yourself: don’t carry phones on your body, use speakerphone or air-tube headsets for calls, keep routers away from bedrooms. • Protect with EMF solutions: consider using Blushield technology for home and portable protection, grounding products to support natural balance, and blue light blocking to reduce another form of modern light stress.

Can I measure EMFs in my home?

Yes. At Earthing Oz, we sell a range of EMF meters available to measure electric, magnetic, and radiofrequency fields in your home. People are often surprised at how high exposure can be in bedrooms and workspaces. Once you see the numbers, it becomes easier to take practical steps to reduce them.

What’s one simple step I can take tonight?

Turn your Wi-Fi router off at night and put your phone on airplane mode while you sleep. Sleep is when your body repairs and restores, and reducing EMF stress during these hours can make a noticeable difference to your rest and recovery.
