Las Vegas has high EMF exposure with a score of 84, nearly double the national median of 45, which reflects the city's dense urban infrastructure and extensive telecommunications networks. As the only tracked city in Nevada, Las Vegas sets the state average, so residents looking to reduce EMF exposure would need to consider smaller, untracked communities throughout Nevada or explore options in neighboring states. For those prioritizing lower EMF environments, Las Vegas's score suggests it may not be the ideal choice compared to many other metropolitan areas across the country.

EMF Exposure & Health

EMF exposure remains an active area of scientific research. While regulatory bodies maintain that current exposure limits are safe, independent research has raised questions that lead many to take precautionary steps.

What research shows
Sleep Quality: Multiple studies have found measurable effects on sleep quality and brain activity during sleep from RF-EMF exposure, though effect sizes vary across studies.
Children: Some researchers recommend lower exposure limits for children, citing developing nervous systems and longer lifetime exposure as factors warranting extra caution.
Precautionary Principle: Many health-conscious individuals choose to minimize EMF exposure based on the precautionary principle: when science is uncertain but potential consequences are significant, reducing exposure is a reasonable choice.
