That's what I thought too, especially when you come to sand an already painted surface ready to put on a new coat.
They took lead out of petrol because it was making people violent iirc. Crime went down when they removed it apparently.
Still, EMF shielding paint isn't the worst idea in the world.
EMF shielding paint may be very good. I don't disagree with that, I know nothing about it.
But lead paint was a real hazard.
I tend to agree. Much like asbestos.
However if we could come up with a safe EMF-shielding paint, which we may already have (I have not looked) that would be ideal imo, but your cell phone service and WIFI would surely suffer. You'd have to hard-wire all your internet devices (which I recommend anyway) and go outside to get texts and calls
*one thing about the WIFI, you could probably still use it if you only paint the exterior walls of your home, it would also keep all the WIFI inside your home so people outside wouldn't pick it up.
You can buy zinc paint for shielding purposes. It's widely used in the electronics industry. It's more effective than lead or aluminium paint.
Awesome, thx for the info! I assume that's safe? like if I were to sand it or something
