I put a house on the market yesterday. While filling out the disclosure form. emf was listed along with lead, asbestos, mold, etc. The real-estate agent laughed when she came to that and said, "I don't know why they put that on there" she checked no. Honesty, I am moving because of high emf in this area. I feel soooo guilty . I thought about calling her today to change it. Any thoughts?
EVERY house has EMF.. So the agent is quite right to laugh.
What is "high levels" you are talking about ? More than 10mG? more than 100mG?.. Above government limit RF?
If you are not exceeding government RF, which is practically impossible anyway, and you don't have more than 100mG, then you really don't have high levels. Think of it from the point of view of a normal person, not somebody with EHS.
They would take it as you being crazy if you said 10mG is high or 10mW/m^2 is high, right?.. So just put that form in it's context as viewed from what the government considers a problem. If your place is exceeding government guidelines, then it could be a problem if the buyer ever found out. They could try to sue you, they can't prove you knew easily.
If it's not, they have no claim, they can't make an argument just as people with EHS can't make an argument that EMF is unsafe. All they have to go by are government guidelines.
Bottom line,.. put the readings against the government safety limits. If it's not exceeding, you are fine.
I'd say, give yourself a pat on the back for putting it for sale, and hope you find a better place
