EMF Test Meters, Shielding Materials

        Sometimes a neighborhood power line will emit very strong EMFs, while a similar power line elsewhere will emit almost nothing.  And for most people, the strongest source of EMFs will be from hidden electrical wiring in nearby walls, floors and ceilings (especially in the bedroom during sleep).  Another common but unexpected source is from stray electricity in water pipes.  EMF exposures are difficult to predict.  We recommend that you use a test meter to measure the actual levels and determine the sources.

        One of the fastest growing EMF exposures in recent years is from RF (radio frequency) radiation from sources such as cell towers — many of which are hidden from view.  And much of the RF exposure comes from our own stuff: our own cell phones, cordless phones, Wi-Fi and wireless devices.  Sometimes people don't realize that their computer or router is actually wireless, and even if it is hard-wired or they think the wireless is turned off, sometimes it still emits high EMFs.  And for many cordless phones, the base cradles  emit RF fields all the time (even when the phone is not in use).  You have to test to be sure.

        We provide a full line of easy-to-use EMF test meters.  The choice of meter depends on your specific needs and budget.  We also rent the various test meters, to help make testing more affordable for more people.  Meter rentals are for seven-day periods.  We ship via UPS, FedEx or USPS to anywhere in the US and Canada.  Please refer to our meter page for comparison information on meters, features and costs.

        Once you know the levels and sources of the EMFs, then you can begin to reduce your exposures.  For example, you can rearrange your home to avoid the highest EMF locations, and place your beds, couches and chairs in the lowest exposure areas.  There are the three general approaches to reducing EMFs, listed here in descending order of effectiveness...

Priority #1.  Don't use it!  Remove it.  Unplug it.  Turn it off.  Find a non-EMF alternative.  Nothing reduces an EMF exposure better than to simply not emit the field in the first place.  This may be especially important in the bedroom, where people spend a third of their life time.

Priority #2.  Increase distance from sources!  The sources will become more obvious when you test with a meter.  Use the test meter to determine exactly how far you need to back away from the source to get out of its field.  Rearrange your environment accordingly.

Priority #3.  Install shielding!  In general, shielding is your last resort, because it is usually not as effective as simply turning off the source or increasing your distance from it.  When needed, we provide shielding materials, as well as consultations to help you install it properly.  This is important, because improper shield placement can actually increase the fields.  We recommend that you use a test meter to verify that your shielding has actually reduced the levels.

EMF Shield Materials:  We provide the special materials and guidance needed to shield the EMFs from most sources, including electrical meter panels and computer hardware...

        Mag-Shield is a special alloy designed to help shield the ELF magnetic fields from meter panels, electrical panels, computers, refrigerators, appliances, transformers, motors and other common sources.

        E-Shield is a special material for shielding the ELF electric fields from electrical wiring, and other common sources.

        E-Shielded Cords and extension cords are available for replacing regular lamp and appliance cords with special cords that shield the ELF electric fields.

        E-Silver Lining is a special mesh material useful for shielding the RF/microwave fields and the electric fields.
