Abstract

A complete analysis of electromagnetic radiations has been done for the electronic devices that have become a part of human life. All the devices have been studied for their maximum level of emissions and the distance at which they have minimal effect. Following these surveys a layout has been proposed for an ideal 18*15 living room such that there is minimum effect of harmful radiations even if it is fully equipped with the electronic items. Medical aspects have been studied for the effect of the EM waves along with the latest inventions on shielding these waves. A future idea has been added for the use of stray microwaves in the atmosphere with the help of a receiver that could convert them into current and subsequently be used for saving power.
