Charles Claessens. A question on meters

After benefitting healthwise from installation of GS filters, I am
considering starting a small business as an electrical pollution
remediator so that I might help others who unknowingly also have health
issues associated with electrical pollution. Can you recommend what
meters might be required? I have a GS Microsurge meter, but that has a
pretty limited bandwidth?

Specifically, what meters would you recommend for detection of
bandwidths such as cordless phone radiation, cellular phone radiation,
or even a general multibandwith meter.

BTW, I am in the US.

Thanks,
Mike

Hello Mike,

it is quite different if one wants to know what is harrassing him/her, or
setting up a business.

For the private persons I have laid out my recommendations on:
http://www.milieuziektes.nl/Pagina112a.html


When I go out, I always carry the Esmog Spion.
It measures highfrequency sources, as well as lowfrequency sources (like
f.i. TV sets).
It does not give reliable values, but I hear from the sounds, it is giving
what I am dealing with.

The elektrosmog spectrum goes from 0 Hz up to about 10 GHz.

Below 30 kHz, one has te measure the electrical and magnetic alternating
fields.
For magnetic alternating fields I recommend a meter that has a 3D measuring
feature.

Do not forget to measure magnetic static fields. One needs here a
Magnetometer.
This is often overlooked, but still very important.

You may also have a look at the Standard baubiologische Messtechnik, the SBM
2003.
An english version is on my HP.
In a few months, the SBM2008 will be released.
Then, the dominant frequency of sources has to be determined.
And with that a new era of measuring will start.

With the common broadband meters it is difficult to do that (aside from some
filters).

For the layman. this is not important.
They are only interested in the total amount of the HF radiation, and where
it is coming from.
And if it surpasses the 2.000 µW/m2 (microWatt per square meter) they must
run away.

But when one has a business, it is important to know what is exactly going
on.
For that a spectrumanalyser is needed, but they are very costly, and heavy
and it takes some time to install.

Another option is the Spectran NF and a Spectran HF.

The Spectran NF 5030 covers the spectrum of 0 up to 30 MHz.
The Spectran HF from 30 MHz up to 10 GHz.

The Spectran NF 5030 with all the options can measure electrical AC fields,
magnetical AC fields ( with 3D) as well as magnetical static fields.
For both machines a laptop is advisable, but than one can see a lot.
With a special differential probe, I measure the electricity mains, and find
other disturbing frequencies.

With the Spectran HF, one can easily see which provider is sending at the
moment.
The HF spectrum is constantly enlarged.
We now have Wimax at 3.5 GHz, WLan at 5.15, 5.25, 5.47 and 5.725 GHz.
The frequencies of 30 MHz up to 10.6 GHz are now free usable for UWB, Ultra
Wide Band.
The range is limited up to ca. 10 meters, but when your neighbours are using
it, you feel the point?

A new antenna is developed for 30 MHz to 1 GHz according the
EN55011/EN55022, with super sensitivity.
In Germany, most measuring instances are booked out for years for this type
of measuring.

The Spectran HF can also measure, with an appropriate antenna, the TETRA
signals.
See: http://www.hetbitje.nl/bitjeE2711f.pdf

The software is still under development; it is quite working well, but new
features and improvements are added.

At the moment only version 3 ia available.
I do have a Version 4, as a prototype, which is much faster, and has other
features.

One needs to have a technical background in order to understand what one is
doing.
Although a lot is preprogrammed, one still has to adjust.
And if the adjustment is wrong, the figures are wrong.

One remark.
Many think that having a or a number of meters, that will suffice in helping
others.
But that is not enough.
One needs a lot of understanding about electrosensitivity, and what makes
those people *tick*.
One needs to have an understanding about the functioning of the immune
system, and about the means for improving that.
Be aware that electrosensibles may react to very tiny fields, sometimes even
hardly measurable.
The family of elektrosmog is very large, and each part may have its impact.

Be also aware, that we may have to do with socalled *longitudinal waves*.
Some effects can only be explained by assuming they exist, although we
cannot measure them.
But they are in the TeraHertz region, and do have their impact also.

Subject: [eSens] Charles Claessens. A question on meters

Thank you Charles for a detailed response. I will look into these
devices.

There is a local health fair coming up in about a month. I plan on
doind some marketing research there in the form of a 4-5 question
survey on electrical pollution and the willingness of folks to want to
address it. If the response is good, then I will plan to launch the
business. In the meantime, I will be learning more about measuring
various types of electrical pollution or at least the types that can be
dealt with.

Regards,
Mike
