No current, please
One thing is clear: electrical appliances do not belong in the hands of small children. They should under no circumstances be in reach of small children. Nevertheless, electrical appliances are found in every household. Electrical appliances have the potential to electrocute your child and to produce harmful electro-magnetic fields.
In general, you can expect the appliances to stick to the prescribed limits for household goods so that the total exposure is not critical. But you should not leave unused appliances in stand-by mode. For safety reason, no cables or sockets should be left exposed. Use plugs to prevent children from getting their hands in electrical sockets.
Wireless communication
Wireless communication is another matter: remote controls, cordless phones and its base station, mobile phones, wireless computer networks or baby monitors. All these electrical units should be removed from the child’s room or the room where it sleeps.
The baby monitor is a special issue. Set up the power supply unit far enough away from the bed, at least 2 metres. Use a battery-charged transmitter. Of course, there are radiation limits for baby monitors as well.
