EMF testing is required to assess the levels of exposure and compare them against reference levels.

What is a normal EMF reading?

In a study that measured EMF in almost 1000 homes in the United States, 50% had average EMF levels of 0.6 mG or less, and 95% had average EMF levels below 3 mG. Keep in mind that these are average EMF levels within a home.

What is a safe distance from EMF?

Based on findings like these, a minimum safety distance of 1/4 mile (1320 feet) might be considered prudent. And again, individuals with EMF hypersensitivity or other serious health issues may want to consider a much greater safety distance, perhaps a half mile, or even more.

How do you test EMF at home?

You can check EMF levels in your home with an EMF meter. These handheld devices can be purchased online.
