How do you test for EMF exposure?

Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) is a condition defined by the attribution of non-specific symptoms to electromagnetic fields (EMF) of anthropogenic origin . Despite its repercussions on the lives of its sufferers, and its potential to become a significant public health issue, it remains of a contested nature.6 May 2020

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.

Typical materials used for electromagnetic shielding are:

High-Frequency EMF vs. Low-Frequency EMF EMF FrequenciesSafe Level RangeHigh FrequencyUp to 70 mv/m (Millivolts per meter)Low Frequency (electric fields)Less than 6 V/m (Volts per meter)Low Frequency (magnetic fields)Up to 0.7mg (Milligauss)What is the Safe Level of EMF – EMR Shielding Solutions www.emrss.com › blogs › what-are-safe-levels-of-emf

The symptoms most commonly experienced include dermatological symptoms (redness, tingling, and burning sensations) as well as neurasthenic and vegetative symptoms (fatigue, tiredness, concentration difficulties, dizziness, nausea, heart palpitation, and digestive disturbances).

You can check EMF levels in your home with an EMF meter . These handheld devices can be purchased online. But be aware that most can’t measure EMFs of very high frequencies, and their accuracy is generally low, so their efficacy is limited. You can also call your local power company to schedule an on-site reading.
