Technology is evolving at an unprecedented pace, shaping how we live, work, and connect. But with this progress comes an invisible challenge—electromagnetic pollution. As we surround ourselves with wireless devices, smart infrastructure, and digital networks, we must also consider their impact on human health and the environment.
The Electropollution Free Environment International Accreditation (EFEIA) Foundation was created to ensure that technological advancement and well-being go hand in hand. As a global nonprofit, we are dedicated to reducing human and environmental exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs). We empower individuals, businesses, and policymakers to create safer, healthier spaces through research, advocacy, and certification programs.
Our mission: a healthier, more sustainable future
At EFEIA, our mission is simple yet powerful: to promote technology that prioritizes progress and safety. We work to minimize human and ecological exposure to electromagnetic pollution while fostering innovation that is mindful of its long-term impact.
We do this by:
- Supporting scientific research to deepen our understanding of EMFs and their effects.
- Establishing rigorous certification programs for safer devices and environments.
- Raising public awareness about the importance of electromagnetic hygiene.
- Collaborating with industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers to develop smarter, healthier solutions.
Our vision: a world free from electropollution
Imagine a future where every device is designed with human health in mind, where businesses take proactive steps to reduce EMF emissions, and where communities thrive in safe, sustainable environments. This is the world we are working toward.
We envision a future where people can trust that the technology they use is safe, governments implement science-based EMF safety regulations, companies integrate electromagnetic hygiene into their product designs, and communities worldwide embrace innovation without compromising well-being.
At EFEIA, we believe we don’t have to choose between technology and health — we can have both.
Our objectives: setting the global standard for EMF safety
To make our vision a reality, we focus on three key areas:
- Research and education:
- Supporting independent studies on the biological effects of EMFs.
- Hosting global forums and workshops to share the latest findings with the EFEIA protocol approach for individuals and spaces.
- Conducting our own experimental research in key areas.
- Certification and compliance:
- Developing new safety standards with the IAS method for homes, workplaces, and public spaces.
- Accrediting products and environments with our BEMC (Bio-Compatible Electromagnetic Compliance Program) seal.
- Promoting the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) to reduce unnecessary exposure.
- Policy and advocacy:
- Working with governments to implement stronger safety regulations.
- Encouraging businesses to adopt responsible technology practices.
- Supporting individuals affected by electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) and related conditions.
By championing these objectives, we provide people with the tools and knowledge they need to make informed choices about their EMF exposure.
Our story: why EFEIA was created
With the expansion of 5G networks, IoT, and wireless technologies, EMF exposure is at an all-time high. It’s not a secret that regulations around EMFs have not kept pace with the rapid growth of technology. Most existing guidelines focus only on the heating effects of EMFs, overlooking the growing evidence that low-level, long-term exposure can affect biological systems.
Concerned by this rising risk, a group of scientists, engineers, medical experts, and environmental advocates came together to form EFEIA. Inspired by over three decades of research and the premises of leading researchers like Professor Olle Johansson, Dr. George Carlo, Dr. Neil Cherry, among others, our goal is to bridge the gap between science, regulation, and public awareness.
Today, we are at the forefront of the global movement to make technology safer and more sustainable. Through partnerships, education, and accreditation, we are working to ensure that health and innovation go hand in hand.
Join us in shaping the future
At EFEIA, we believe that technology should improve lives, not compromise them. By advocating for research-driven standards, safer products, and more informed choices, we are paving the way for a healthier, more responsible digital world.
We invite you to be part of this change. Whether you’re an industry leader, a researcher, a policymaker, or simply someone who cares about the future of technology and health, your voice matters. Together, we can create a world where innovation and well-being are not in conflict but in harmony.
