On September 19, 2025, I left home in one car (a 2012 Mazda 6 owned by my wife’s parents, which had served us for over 9 years and was low in radiation) and 8 hours later, I returned with a new used car. I bought a used Nissan Note after deciding that this model would suit our family’s needs as well as my needs as someone who is sensitive to radiation.

Before deciding on this model, I also tried to learn from it’s specs, that it is not likely to have any EMF-emitting devices or parts that might create high levels of EMF in the car.

The first thing I did when I saw the car was perform my own radiation measurements to make sure there was no low-frequency (magnetic field) radiation and to assess whether it would be possible to turn off all transmissions inside the car. After checking the radiation, I began examining the car in other respects (mechanic, outside, and inside conditions). A few hours were enough to finish all the checks, and then I came back home with the new car (leaving the old car with the dealer as a trade-in).

Now, two months after the purchase (as of November 20, 2025), I can make an interim summary and share what I’ve done to the car and my impressions from using and driving it. This is part of the mechanical alignment process, and part of converting it into a low-radiation vehicle suitable for someone who is radiation-sensitive like me. Overall, the process is progressing quite well and fairly quickly. The only thing preventing me from completing all the improvements is money. Therefore, I am still waiting to finish some of the changes and upgrades.

Removing Bluetooth Hands-Free & Disabling Transmissions

The car had two Bluetooth hands-free units installed — as if one wasn’t enough! One was a standalone system, the other was part of the audio-info-nav system.
On the day of the buy, I drove home with both of them active (and miraculously survived) , since I did not find a quick way to turn them off.

The next day after the purchase, I removed the standalone Bluetooth hands-free unit. It was transmitting inside the car. I also disabled all other transmissions from the vehicle’s audio-info-nav system. After checking with a fast home use radiation meter, I verified that there are no more transmissions in the cabin. The only system that still transmits briefly (right after ignition) is the tire pressure monitoring system, but I can’t measure its signal, suggesting it may be installed farther away (perhaps in the engine bay), so it doesn’t bother me.

Safety Systems – A Terrible Menace

What I can already say is that this is the first time I have driven a car with passive safety systems, and it’s simply awful. I don’t want to think about what would happen if the car had even more safety systems installed. My impression and experience is that these systems constantly warn and distract, take away my focus & desire to drive, and even interfere with driving.

When I received the car, I found it had the basic Mobileye system and also that the navigation system was always on (probably because the three previous owners didn’t know how to turn it off). It constantly notifies about speed limits, driving over the allowed speed (even 1 km/h over), speed cameras, traffic light cameras, and lots of other alerts. It was very, very annoying.

As a result, I had to drive very slowly and became a nuisance on the road, with other drivers constantly overtaking me. My reaction time increased, and I felt like I wasn’t in control of the driving. Therefore, I think that these systems are really dangerous, disruptive, and irritating. I’m a “super user” and know how to turn off and disable the systems and alerts … but most people (including those smarter than me) will continue to drive with the systems active and disruptive. As a fact, the car is over 10 years old, and all of its systems work and interfere without any of the previous drivers having tried to turn them off or change the settings to make them less intrusive.

After a few days, I learned how to turn off the navigation system so it wouldn’t activate with every trip, and adjusted its settings so it would bother me less when I chose to use it. A few days after that, I installed a kill switch for the Mobileye system. Then there was silence in the car. Finally, it’s possible to drive without interruptions, distractions, and alerts.

Stop-and-Go — Disruptive and Troubling

The next system that bothered me was the Stop-and-Go system, which shuts off the engine every time the car stops for more than a few seconds. This is especially annoying because it also stops the air conditioning (it stops working when the engine shuts off). Also, restarting the engine takes a second — sometimes that one second is needed when you want to accelerate again, especially on the busy and tense roads of Israel.

You can disable Stop-and-Go in a few ways:

1. Re-program the car’s computer — expensive.
2. Purchase an electronic component that connects to the disable button and sets the default state to OFF every time the car starts (about ~$120 on AliExpress). I haven’t found a compatible unit for the Note yet — I found options for other Nissan cars, but I’m not sure they work 100 % with my Note.
3. Short-circuit a micro-switch in the engine bay — this makes the car think the hood is open and disables the Stop-and-Go system. I chose this free solution because the system really bothered me.

Acoustics and Speakers

I also installed some acoustic insulation in parts of the car using a cheap material under the interior plastic panels. The improvement was significant: less road noise and better sound quality.

Regarding audio quality, I replaced the original speakers with new RAINBOW ones. Because I’m sensitive to radiation, I prefer not to install external amplifiers or subwoofers — so upgrading the existing speakers was important.

Mechanical Work & Maintenance

Slowly, I am completing the mechanical alignment at the garage: flushing fluids, changing the engine oil and filter, and partial AC repairs (to be completed when I have time and money).

In the future, I will also replace the transmission oil, install new tires (better ones), and perform timing belt service— all relatively expensive.

I also removed and reinstalled the front bumper and plastic parts myself, which fixed annoying rattles that occurred when parts were not connected properly.

Other Small Modifications

I made additional small improvements, like replacing the steering wheel cover, doing a deep interior cleaning, adding a purifying air fragrance, installing a center armrest, and adding an OBD2 display to show vital engine data (e.g., coolant and oil temperature) while driving — data that the factory gauge cluster does not show.

I also installed a grounding strap to reduce static electric fields on the car, replaced wipers, added a fuel additive, upgraded the rearview mirror, and more.

Experience & Interim Summary

The car proves itself as a low-radiation vehicle. I drive it and don’t feel unwell. Gradually, I’m increasing how far I drive it, and my confidence in the car is growing both mechanically and in terms of radiation exposure.

Regarding the requirements I set before purchase, the car has proven successful:

• Higher seating position
• Smaller, lighter car with good city driving dynamics
• Excellent outward visibility (much better than the Mazda 6)
• Spacious interior (larger than a Nissan Micra and similar to the Mazda 6)
• Good build quality
• Improving fuel consumption (about ~1 liter to ~11 km in city driving with many hills and short trips)

Summary

The car is not perfect — it’s used and had three previous owners, and probably none cared for it like I do — but it’s becoming perfect for me and my family (at least that’s the hope).

Most importantly, the car is low in radiation, while driving it I do not feel pain or fatigue due to radiation. It doesn’t have a smart key, and the Bluetooth or WIFI has been turned OFF or removed, and other transmissions have been disabled. In terms of low-frequency magnetic fields, it’s a normal gasoline car with low radiation levels.

The strongest impression from recent days is how bad and distracting these safety systems are, and how many RF-emitting systems people install in their cars.

Lately, we’re starting to see more and more inexpensive wired keyboards with a pointer or trackball (mouse alternatives) on the market.
I bought one of these (a very good one), made by Lenovo, for the days when I also feel tingling.

After using it for a few days, I can say that the keyboard itself is excellent—small and requires some getting used to—but the buttons are great (quiet mechanical switches), and the pointer works very well.
The downsides are that I’m still not used to its size, so my typing speed isn’t high on it, I sometimes accidentally press the pointer buttons, and it doesn’t have Hebrew lettering (I bought stickers for that).
Other than that, it’s a great solution for days when I feel tingling in my hands (due to overworking in previous days or other overexposure)

There is no other way to say it.
You did not reduce your exposure to EMF if you use your cellphone as an only or main tool!

There are many things you can do to turn the use of your smartphone, from a main tool for communication to an emergency-only/Out-of-the-house communication device.
In the house use a wired phone and computer (including WhatsApp).
In some cases, you can connect the samrt phone to a wired network.

Some people find it difficult to build and wired working station and are using a wireless laptop and router. The trought is that it is not that difficult to build a simply wired working station. In order to make it a bit more simple, I have made this video to explain how to build the most simple wired working station.
It should consist of: a landline router, network cables, a low EMF laptop, a wired mouse, and a keyboard.

Even Lower EMF working station

For a lower Electric field, you need to work on the laptop when it is not connected to the electricity or ground it.
(grounding the laptop is for the more advanced user that has some electronic/electrician background, please see – https://youtu.be/ceGd-vnvZNQ, https://youtu.be/iAoanFL88P8).

For an even more advanced low EMF working environment, you can add EMF protection over the laptop. Please see – https://www.norad4u.com/emf-exposure-reduction/using-pcs-and-laptops/low-emf-laptop-station/ & https://www.norad4u.com/blog/2021/10/new-laptop-minimalism-meter-home-office-improvements-10-2021/

The post How to build your low EMF (no RF) PC working station? appeared first on www.norad4u.com.

This week I have made several additional improvements and it is time to report all about them. All the steps I have made this week are a part of the continuous effort to minimize the EMF in the room by using fewer and fewer devices and equipment, minimalization at its best. I have moved one of my kids’ laptops out of the room, removed the WIFI/Bluetooth cards from the laptops, and removed one of the wired phones from the room.

My laptop sits along

In my home office room I used to have my own laptop, and one of my kids’ laptops. I noticed that when the other laptop is being used, even with all WIFI/BT set off and widely connected to the network, I feel worse. In addition when my kids play or work they also used to take my laptop, and I was kicked out of the room, and was left to work on a slow laptop outside my home office. So I bought a second LENOVO THINKPAD E15 laptop, and now my kids are both working on the wired laptops on the dining table and I can use the room. As it should be, since this is my room, I need my peace and quiet and I need my low EMF home office.

The removal of the second laptop from my home office room allows me to reduce the emission of EMI from the laptop and its power supply, keyboard, and mouse.

Removing the WIFI/BT cars from the laptops

In the past few months, I have noticed that whenever the win10 operation system updates itself, the WIFI and Bluetooth cards, which I have disabled via the device manager, are back on. This results in RF transmission from the laptop, once every couple of minutes. This week it happens again and it took me 3 hours to understand why I am more restless than usual. Once I found out that once again I was exposed to RF radiation from the laptops, I decided to remove the WIFI/BT cards from the motherboard.

This is something you can do yourself if you are a computer DIY or professional. Or you can ask your PC technician to do it for a small fee. Without the cards, even if the operating system will update 10000 times, the WIFI/BT cards will not be enabled back on, and will not radiate anymore. If you are an EHS person, this might be the right move for you.

One wired phone is enough

I have to corded phone line, one for the house, one for the business. I used to have two phones in the home office room, one for each. I wanted to remove one of them, so I used a small switch, and 2 phone cables to build a switch to choose between the lines. This allowed me to use one phone in the room which is less EMI, less space taken, and more comfortable.

The post EMF reduction in my home office – Chapter -8 appeared first on www.norad4u.com.

When you have success in reducing exposure or handling your EHS better, you must celebrate. So this is a time for some small celebration to mark the latest improvements in my home office.

If you remember from our last chapter ( https://norad4u.blogspot.com/2018/05/handing-elf-issues-in-home-office.html ) I am having trouble working long hours in my home office room. The reasons are ELF/EMI from the equipment inside the room, ELF from the power breaks/supplies, Reflections of RF and EMI from the concrete reinforced walls, power cabinet on the other side of one of this room walls (and ELF protection on the inside wall) and electric power cable that runs to my neighbors’ house bellow the floor of the room which I am using as the home office (also protected). All the above makes it hard for me to work in the room for long hours. Over the 4 years, we live in this house I am making improvements to the room and equipment. At first, I was able to work for 15 minutes before the first symptoms appeared, now after the latest improvements, I can work for about 5 hours a day.

Minimazations!

For years I used external PC displays and tried to put my laptops in faraday cages. But this kind of a station created few problems:

1. EMF/EMI fromthe HDMI connections – https://youtu.be/s0xXkrwthIQ
2. EMF/EMI from the USB + HDMI cables
3. EMF/EMI from the screen and it’s power supplay

I used RF protection over the HDMI connections to the PC and the screen. It helped but I could still feel it.

I also used RF Protection over the cables, which helps a lot.

I have put the laptop in a faraday cage, and the power supplies in an additional faraday cage, it helped but I could still feel it in some cases.

But recently I decided to change things a bit, to take the minimalism approach.

First I gave up using a small audio amp (with an external 220V–>12V power converter that emitted both ELF and EMI) and 2 bookshelf speakers and hocked up to a USB power headphone amp 2 smaller speakers. This reduces the EMI and also went that the power supply of the amp would not be needed anymore and could be taken out of the room. The smaller bookshelf I am using now is not as loud or audiophile as the older big bookshelf I used to have, but now there is no need for the amp and it’s the power supply (less ELF and EMI inside the room).

I gave up the big external monitor and started working on the laptop when it is outside of the cage and in front of me. I tried this inside and outside the room, and it seemed to be better for me than working in front of a big screen (with EMF coming off the power supply and EMI/EMF from the HDMI connector).

This new way has 2 configurations, a basic one for when I need to work for less than an hour, and a robust station for longer tasks.

Basic station

When I have to work for less than an hour, I simply use the laptop, connected to the ground and to a wired internet cable. I use it on my dinner table, in the kid’s bedrooms, and outside (which is the best). Since I deployed wired internet through the house (and yard) it is possible to move the laptop and be connected in every room, and also at the yard.

Recently I noticed that my eyes feels bad after a few hours of working on the laptop, so I updated my 8 years old LENOVO THINKPAD E540 I7 laptop to a new LENOVO LEGION 5 laptop with FHD IPS screen which is better for the eyes.

More robust station

When I need to work for longer hours I add also a wired keyboard and mouse.

When I need even a more robust station I cover the laptop’s keyboard with Mu-Metal film and RF blocking fabric in order to block some of the electric field and EMI.

Working outside when ever possiblele

I noticed that working outside is better. The RF levels in my yard are currently about 0.0001mW/m2. I noticed that it is easier for me to work on the computer there. Probably because there are fewer reflections there. So whenever it is possible and I feel up to it, I take the laptop outside, for few minutes, or a few hours.

Meters in front of me

In order to track the RF in the room (in case the laptop or other devices decide to start transmitting inside the room) I have a CORNET ED88TPLUS constantly working. I put it on a small shelf in front of me so I can notice any rise in RF levels.

I also added a Radon gas meter, and a CO2, TVOC, and HCHO meters on the same shelve.

Time to understand, Reception = Radiation, Usage = Exposure

The radiation from cell towers is not negligible, and the so called safety standards don’t protect your health!

Minimize the use of smartphone and wireless devices, before the use will minimize you!

More info

What are cell tower?

A cell tower is the common name for structure with antennas that serve the cellular network. Big or small, they emit Radio Frequency(RF) Radiation 24X7.

Does the so called “safety standards” protect my health – no they don’t!

The so called safety standards, both by the FCC or ICNIRP are based on the assumption that the only possible effect of RF is heating of the tissue, which is caused only in high levels. These standards are 1000 (and more) times higher than the levels that were showed in studies across the world to cause biological changes and health effects.

In addition to the RF radiation emitted from the cell towers, it is also emitted from smartphones, smart meters, WIFI equipment, Bluetooth devices and other wireless devices. So when you use these device, even when the reception is good, you exposure yourself and other to more RF radiation (and also to more radiation from the tower).

For the RF radiation emitted from devices, such as smartphones, the so called safety standard is called “SAR”. Again it is base on the assumption that the only effect is heat, and allow very high levels of local RF exposure to be emitted from the devices and be considered “OK”.

What are the biological and health effects of RF radiation?

Biological changes are DNA damage, BBB damage, ERK creation, nerve damage and more. All are caused by non direct biological mechanisms and not and ionizing effect.

Health effect can be headaches, sleeping disorder, weakness, brain fog, memory loss and many more. In the long run , exposure to RF showed to be linked to several types of cancer. RF radiation is considered a “possible carcinogenic to humans” by the WHO’s IARC committee.

After few mouth of exposure, some people may become extremely sensitive to this radiation. This fenomena is also called EHS- Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity or Microwave Sickness. More and more people are becoming EHS , while the even existence of this sickness is being rejected by the FCC , ICNIRP and other industry influenced bodies and scientist.

Slowly the recognition of this fenomena and wide apparing new sickness is being accepted, as more and more people suffer from it, and as new studies shade light over the new condition and the biological mechanisms and health effect of RF radiation.

More studies and science

Please see more science reports, declaration and studies on the following page on our site.

What to do?

It is our goal to create more awareness to the possible health effect of EMF radiation, mainly RF radiation, to EHS and to the link between the usage of RF radiation emitting devices, like smart phones and the exposure to the RF radiation. In addition to just being aware (and allowing other to become aware) we preach and practice ways and techniques to reduce exposure.

Reduce exposure

limit the use of smartphones and wireless devices – move back to wired!

• In the house and office use only corded wired phones
• Turn OFF all unnecessary transmissions in your smartphone (DATA, WIFI, BLUETOOTH, NFC and more) so the phone will radiate as less frequent as possible.
• When using the phone to talk, hold it as far as possible from your body and head.
• Use only wired earpiece/ earphones.
• In the house and office use only the wired internet network (easy to install , see – https://www.norad4u.com/emf-exposure-reduction/using-wireless-networks-wifi/#How_to_create_your_wired-RF_free_network

In some parts of the Israeli public, cellphones (usually old GSM phones) are the main or only communication measure. For example religious orthodox jews. Many people try to save a $ on the landline phone and have discontinued their landline phone long ago.

Lately, I have been getting more and more phone calls from people reporting more headaches. Not just from EHS people, but also from people who did not recognized themself as EHS before. A short conversation with them reveals that they have been using their cell phones for long hours every day, for listening to lessons, news or Torah lessons (very common in religious communities here in Israel) .

The Solution – go wired!

The solution in this case is to go back to using wired-landline phone, and wired network, both for work, home studying and entertainment. Use a landline corded phone for calls, use a wired connected laptop/desktop or tablet for work and home studying (connect the Pc network card to the network extensions in the back of your router, using network cables, and turn the WIFI OFF).

I hereby call the leaders of religions communities , to pay attention to this matter and to allow and to promote the use or wired, corded, landline, & low radiation communication technologies.
