First things first, you'll need to grab an EMF meter which are available online or at your local hardware store.
Once you've got your meter, switch off all electronic devices in your home to ensure accurate readings.
Power up your EMF meter and take readings in various spots throughout your home.
Jot down the readings and compare them to these safe levels:
- Magnetic fields: 0.5 milligauss (mG) or less
- Electric fields: 10 volts per meter (V/m) or less
- Radiofrequency (RF) radiation: 0.1 microwatts per square centimeter (µW/cm²) or less
For the tech-savvy among you, smartphone apps are available to measure EMF radiation.
Some popular options include EMF Detector - ElectroSmart (Android), Electromagnetic Detector: EMF Scanner (iOS), and EMF Meter Radiation Detector (iOS).
Remember that these apps may not be as accurate as dedicated EMF meters. Only use them for informational purposes.
When shopping for an EMF meter, consider these key features:
- Type of EMF radiation detected: Ensure the meter can see the kind of EMF radiation you're concerned about.
- Range: Opt for a meter with a wide detection range.
- Accuracy: Choose a meter known for its high accuracy.
- Display: Look for an easy-to-read display.
- Alarms: Seek out a meter with sound and light alarms that alert you when EMF levels exceed safe limits.
- Battery life: Long battery life is a major plus.
- Price: Find a meter that fits within your budget.
Some popular EMF meters on the market include the Trifield TF2, Cornet ED88T, and Acoustimeter AM-10, all available on Amazon.
