This is\u2013why modern construction pays an\u2013increasing attention to\u2013health aspects. The new philosophy of\u2013building houses is\u2013hinged on the\u2013idea of\u2013aware, sustainable construction, which takes into\u2013account the\u2013key environmental, social and\u2013economic aspects. Selena Group follows the\u2013modern trends and\u2013develops innovative solutions for the\u2013construction sector, including products that afford people protection against harmful effects of\u2013electric fields in\u2013buildings.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The side effect of intensive\u00a0<strong>development of electrical systems is the increased emission of EMFs.<\/strong>\u00a0EMFs are emitted by all kinds of appliances, installations and electrical cables. The interviewed Europeans have concerns rooted in the large number of installations, appliances or electric cables in house walls.\u00a0<strong>Electromagnetic waves are not neutral to human body<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 excessive exposure might result in headaches, insomnia and overall fatigue and irritation. Even though EMF is a natural phenomenon, human activity has intensified it \u2013\u00a0<strong>over the recent 130 years, the EMF strength has increased more than a million times.<\/strong>\u00a0The existing levels of EMF strength\u00a0<strong>deviate from the values that are natural and favourable for humans<\/strong>, and the excessive intensification of the EMF is called as\u00a0<strong>electrosmog.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>\u201cFor years now, we\u2019ve been doing our best to contribute to the\u00a0<strong>development of construction chemicals sector,<\/strong>\u00a0both in Poland and in the international markets by providing products of the highest quality. However, we realize that in construction,\u00a0<strong>skills and experience of contractors<\/strong>\u00a0are also very important. That is why supporting this type of events is part of the Selena Group&#8217;s policy.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>\u201c<strong>Selena FM tackled the issue of electrosmog several years ago.<\/strong>\u00a0When searching for a solution, the company noted the\u00a0<strong>research conducted by Stanis\u0142aw Wosi\u0144ski, PhD Eng.<\/strong>\u00a0into the\u00a0<strong>physical properties of ceramics and water.<\/strong>\u00a0Thanks to the\u00a0<strong>Ceraqion Technology<\/strong>, discovered and patented by the scientist, Selena\u2019s research teams\u00a0<strong>created the world&#8217;s first construction chemical<\/strong>\u00a0that helps effectively\u00a0<strong>protect people staying in a building against unfavourable impact of low-frequency EMFs.<\/strong>\u00a0This ground-breaking product, which puts us well ahead of competition, may be applied in both residential buildings and public utility buildings, such as hospitals or military establishments\u201d\u00a0<\/em>&#8211; said\u00a0<strong>Jaroslaw Michniuk<\/strong>, the CEO of Selena FM SA, the parent company of Selena Group.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Ceraqion Technology<\/strong>\u00a0is an\u00a0<strong>environmentally friendly and safe<\/strong>technology created and patented by Stanis\u0142aw Wosi\u0144ski, PhD, Eng.
