Shungite protection tested with WLAN and mobile phones radiation

Shungite is used in various forms to protect against radiation. When building new premises, as well as when performing renovations, it is used as a powder or stone on floors, walls and ceilings.

To share more accurate information on radiation protection issues with our customers, we have tested various forms of shungite. In our video, we will show you the differences in applications of shungite powder, chips and whole disc-shaped stones.

According to the experience of our customers who have already used shungite in the form of powder or chips, radiation protection can be provided in any case. The effectiveness of the stone depends on the appropriate exposure to radiation, the material chosen and the treatment.

Customers often ask which treatment is better and how to apply shungite correctly. Thus, we have performed tests to help you make the right decision.

In our video, we show the difference in radiation protection with different mixing ratios and different forms of the mineral such as powder, chips or solid stone.

We used drywall in the test. Different protective layers with different mixture ratios were applied to the drywall plates.

A radiation source, namely a WLAN repeater and a smartphone, was attached to one side of the plate. On the other hand, the radiation intensity was measured with an HF Gigahertz-Solutions HFW35C with the frequency range 2.4 GHz to 6.0 GHz.

We found similarities with respect to WLAN and cell phone radiation. The following results were registered:

• Weak protection: Wall paint with shungite powder at a ratio of 1 L/500 g
• Relatively weak protection: Wall paint with shungite powder at a ratio of 1 L/1 kg
• Relatively strong protection: Plaster for interior work (Rotband) with shungite chips (grain size 5-10 mm) at a ratio of 1 kg/500 g
• Strong protection: Internal plaster (Rotband) with shungite chips (grain size 5-10 mm) at a ratio of 1 kg/1 kg
• Very strong protection: Shungite disc, 90 mm in diameter, 10 mm thickness

The test shows the differences between different mixtures and is intended as a guideline.

We cannot give any recommendations for manual processing of shungite powder, chips or stone plates, since we are not experts in this field. It would be better to discuss the processing with a professional who specializes in this matter.

Basically: The cheapest option is a powder, and the most difficult and expensive is shungite stone plates.  

On-site measurements are required to determine the exact parameters in a specific room. It is hardly possible to determine in figures or percentage terms how one can achieve protection against radiation using one or another option. This requires precise individual measurements, and factors such as measurement time must be taken into account because some radiation sources change their characteristics during the day or depending on the user. Some walls are not suitable for this procedure.

We hope this information will help you make your decision regarding radiation protection.
