Re: Electric vs Magnetic fields

If that 4 milliGauss is from the power lines, it's going to be hard to
shield.
Walk around the house and see if the reading decreases gradually only
as you go away from the line.

If that's the cause the best hope might be to ask the power company if
they can rebalance the loads, or pay them to bury the line.

If the fields are higher inside then you probably have a net current issue.
See if it is higher near metal pipes, see if it changes with lights off,
or breakers off.

Re: Electric vs Magnetic fields

I looked into shielding my house -- I had to move because shielding
was not feasible and the headaches became intolerable. (Note that
attempts at shielding could produce a worse situation, since the edges
of the shielding material build up a super-concentrated field.)

That said, I found a website/book online recently with some pertinent
information (excerpts below, more info at site):

==============

Silencing the Fields book re EMFs by Ed Leeper

http://www.silencingthefields.com/

Even the fields that emanate directly from the power company lines
near a house may be remediable. Although often the homeowner's cost
for obtaining such changes may range from quite high to prohibitive,
some changes may be as simple as persuading the power company to
rectify a neutral wire defect or do a better balancing of phases on
their line.

=================

Balancing Power Company Primary Lines
Part V (34 pages) of Silencing the Fields describes the various ways
that power company neighborhood distribution wiring may produce
fields. As always, "net currents" on these lines are an important factor.
One way that such net currents may arise is where a "primary line,"
one of the medium-high-voltage lines that comes from a substation to
supply the neighborhood transformers, has an "unbalanced load"
(because one of the three phase wires serves more than its share of
transformers). If such a net current exists (which we can determine),
the remedy by "rebalancing" may be far less expensive than others,
such as moving the line. And balancing the load on a three-phase line
is something a power company tries to do anyway, for
energy-conservation reasons.
In dealing with your power company, it helps to know where they are
coming from, and what constraints (mainly financial) they have to work
with.

Re: Electric vs Magnetic fields

I have that book (Silencing the Fields) and I recommend it strongly.
It will tell you to get a Gaussmeter, and it reviews a bunch of them.

Ed Leeper wrote the first paper linking leukemia and power lines.
So he recommends keeping ELF exposure low--regardless of EHS.
