Electromagnetic pollution

When Neil drew my attention to EMF radiation in my 'change ISP' thread, I did some websearching about it.
Knowing how some people are sensitive to EMF radiation and suffer adverse health effects from it, I decided to reduce my exposure to it.

I have disabled my BT homehub wireless emissions and chucked out my wireless telephone.
I am back to using a corded phone but that isn't a problem. Living in a small space means wherever I am in the flat isn't a route march to reach it.
I have, but don't use, a mobile phone - I won't need one when I give up driving (very soon)

When websearching I came across a phrase new to me - 'dirty elecricity'.
There are plenty of videos on youtube explaining it
dirty electricty - YouTube

I have always been a fan of compact fluorescent light bulbs and began using them long before incandescent bulbs were phased out.
Not any more - I now have got myself some LED lightbulbs. (see thumbnail)

I recognise that our society cannot survive without electrical gadgets, and I know I would struggle without internet.
Whilst there appears a possible connection between electromagnetic pollution and poor health for some people, it makes sense to reduce that pollution if you reasonably can.
