What is a high EMF reading?

What is a high EMF reading?

Summary: Magnetic field readings within living spaces above 1 mG (milliGauss) are considered high. When it comes to safety guidelines regarding magnetic fields, most regulatory agencies base their decisions off of either the ICNIRP guidelines or the IEEE recommendations.

What are the symptoms of EMF?

Symptoms of EMF exposure

• sleep disturbances, including insomnia.
• headache.
• depression and depressive symptoms.
• tiredness and fatigue.
• dysesthesia (a painful, often itchy sensation)
• lack of concentration.
• changes in memory.
• dizziness.

How does EMF affect the brain?

It has been found that RF-EMF can induce changes in central nervous system nerve cells, including neuronal cell apoptosis, changes in the function of the nerve myelin and ion channels; furthermore, RF-EMF act as a stress source in living creatures.

What is acceptable EMF level?

Magnetic fields for occupational exposures should be limited to less than 0.5 mT (5 gauss or 5,000 mG). Should I be worried about my exposure to EMF? The scientific information which exists doesn’t indicate that exposure levels which are commonly encountered have any health effect which requires corrective action.

Can EMF cause heart problems?

Studies have indicated that EMFs produced at cell-phone frequencies cause no-effect on the heart. Differences between results of studies may be due to a compensatory response developed by the body over time.

How do you protect yourself from electromagnetic radiation?

5 Tips to Safeguard Against Electromagnetic Radiation

1. Disable Wireless Functions. Wireless devices — including routers, printers, tablets, and laptops — all emit a Wi-Fi signal.
2. Replace Wireless With Wired Devices.
3. Keep EMF Sources at a Distance.
4. Use Your Smartphone Safely.
5. Prioritize Sleeping Areas.

What are the long term health effects of EMF electromagnetic radiation?

suggested that long-term exposure to RF-EMF emitted by mobile phones may increase the risk of brain tumours, such as glioma and neuroma [6]. The morphological and biochemical alterations caused by RF-EMF exposures have been investigated in animal studies.

What is a harmful EMF level?

In our opinion, based on our experience, knowledge and further search on the web, the safe levels for High Frequency is up to 70 mv/m meter, for Low-Frequency EMF magnetic fields, it can go up to 0.7 Milligauss and for the low-frequency electric field, it should be less than 6 V/m (volts per meter).
