Devices that use EMF/RF

Many home devices use and emit radio frequency (RF) waves as part of their operation, enabling wireless communication and data transfer. Common devices include Wi-Fi routers, smartphones, smart meters and tablets, which use RF waves to connect to the internet and communicate with other devices within a network. Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as wireless headphones, speakers, and smartwatches, also rely on RF waves for short-range communication although they are typically at a much lower power since they don’t have to transmit a long distance. Additionally, smart home devices like security cameras, smart thermostats, and smart light bulbs often use RF waves to connect to a central hub or to be controlled remotely via apps on smartphones or other devices.

Other household appliances, such as microwave ovens, emit RF waves for their primary functions. Microwaves, in particular, use high-frequency RF waves to heat food by causing water molecules to vibrate and generate heat. Wireless remote controls for televisions, garage door openers, and keyless entry systems for cars also emit RF waves to send commands over short distances. Even devices like baby monitors and cordless phones use RF waves to transmit audio or video signals between the base unit and the receiver. As RF waves are integral to many modern conveniences, they are present in a wide range of household devices, facilitating various forms of wireless communication and control.
