A post on social media claimed AirPods emit a dangerous amount of electromagnetic field radiation. But research on the topic has shown no good evidence for this. After Full Fact got in touch, the post was first amended and has now been deleted.
When we first discovered the post, it had just under 30,000 likes, and included the claim that: “Issues include: Increased Brain, Heart & overall Health Risk; Reproductive issues; Neurological Disorders; Brainfog; Cellular damage ; Red blood cell coupling ; Headaches & migraines. [sic]”
After we contacted the poster, the caption was revised to say “issues MAY include” the various health problems listed. After further contact, the post was subsequently revised again, to remove the list of specific health problems.The post was revised one further time with changes including the removal of the words “frying your brain”.
Mr Gray did refer us to a number of sources which he said supported the post’s claims, and put us in contact with Nick Pineault, an author and citizen journalist who has written a lot about EMF., but this contained no human studies for any medical conditions apart from male fertility issues, and the evidence presented for this was far from conclusive, with some showing no effect, and none accounting for actual clinical outcomes.
When we asked Mr Gray about the main claim in the video—that AirPods emit a “dangerous amount of EMF radiation”—he referred us to three main sources.as a “group 2B potential carcinogen”, a claim repeated in the caption.arguing that EMF from devices like mobile phones should be upgraded in the WHO’s list of carcinogens. However, as of the time of writing, the WHO has kept EMF as a category 2B—something we address further on in this fact check.
