Very high EMF readings in static caravan

Hi,

I recently moved into a static caravan to try to understand more about why I was sleeping so badly and feeling generally unwell in my last flat. I have two test meters (EMFields Pocket PF meter and Cornet Electrosmog meter) and I was getting high readings for radio frequency radiation and moderate readings for magnetic field radiation (up to 0.2 microtesla), but electric field measurements were generally quite low/non-existent unless I pointed the meters directly at an electrical outlet.

In the static caravan the readings for radio frequency radiation are very low and there's no measurable magnetic field. However, the electric field measurements are really high throughout, especially near the ceiling (greater than 200 V/M when I point either meter directly at the ceiling). When I turn the power off at the main breaker the field completely disappears, but isolating the individual circuits (lights and sockets) makes no difference.

I feel that I'm sleeping better in the caravan with the power off. But I need a longer-term solution and although turning the power off at night is fine (I could potentially get a battery for the fridge), even spending time during the day in such a high electric field is worrying me.

Does anyone know how I can reduce/eliminate the electric field without turning the power off? I heard about grounding the caravan and as a test I drove a long drill bit into the ground today and attached an earth wire to the end of the drill bit and the metal chassis of the caravan, but it didn't make any difference.

Hi, you need to shield every cable by wrapping them with metalic tape and ground that shielding but you'd have to rip apart your caravan for that. Another solution would be to paint all the walls, ceiling and floor with graphite paint and ground it. That would eliminate all EFs and RFs from the outside. There are no easy or cheap solutions if you don't disconnect the power. I hope you've stopped using a cellphone and any other wireless devices, otherwise you won't get better sleep nor better health. Most of the problem is caused not by cell towers but cell phones. If you can't give it up there's no point in spending on shielding. Check out my video where I explain everything. By the way, you need propper measuring equpment, 0.2 is huge but I'm sure your cheap meter is faulty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCQfUKKzrYw&t=215s

Thanks for the response and sorry for the late reply. I had a feeling it wouldn't be easy. Unfortunately I'm currently renting the caravan and not sure how long I will be staying there, so neither of these options is really possible at the moment. I moved here as a kind of experiment to see if I would be able to sleep better, and my sleep has improved a lot as long as I turn the power off at night. However, ideally I want to find a flat I can live/sleep in.

 I'm still not sure what exactly I'm most sensitive to and trying to work it out. I do know that while I was in my previous flat I was very strict about not using any wireless devices (no WiFi, Bluetooth, etc) and I kept my phone away from me as much as possible. I even got my neighbour to switch his WiFi from 5 GHz to 2.4 GHz as I believe this is less harmful. But even when I turned the power off at night my sleep still wasn't great. The only thing I had absolutely no control over was the magnetic field, which is why I thought this might be the cause. I have two meters and they both measured between 0.1-0.2 microtesla in the flat (0 in caravan and some other places I've tested).

I will give your video a watch but I don't currently have wired internet. What measuring equipment would you recommend and what are the most important things to measure for good sleep in particular?

Hi, bad sleep is only one of the symptoms of EMF poisoning. The damage is done also during the day, your meletonin gets depleted so I suggest you avoid EMFs during the day, not only at night. Your number one enemy is your phone, even when kept far. If you can't give that up there are chances you will keep being sick. The best RF meter would be the Safe and Sound Pro2 if you can afford it, but the Safe and Sound Classic is a good alternative for much less. The most important is having a meter with sound function that will help you identify the RF sousces by their sound pattern. You also need a reliable MF and EF meter. The best value for money would be the ME3030B from Gigahertz Solutions but the Safe and Sound EM3 would be a better choice if you can afford it. Don't spend on cheap meters, better save up for something that can really help you. I hope this will help. You have all the info on my YT channel and I mede those videos in order to avoid explaining things one-to-one basis to everyone as that costs time and money. I can reccomend an expert for that purpose if you can afford their hourly rates.
You can contact me by email so I can send you links and documents that can help you more without spending money but you must do your own research, reading and learning about EMFs.
I wish you all the best :)

Thanks for the recommendations. Unfortunately giving up my phone completely is basically impossible for me as I rely on it for too many things for my work. I've been aware of the negative effects of RF radiation for a long time, so it's become second nature for me to turn off 4G/WiFi when I don't use them and I never have Bluetooth on either. I use the internet on my phone sparingly.

I did try going without a phone for a few weeks while on a break, but I didn't notice any difference. Maybe you're right about the phone being the number one enemy and I'll bear it in mind, but my experience has been that I find electric/magnetic fields much more intolerable and these are what causes me to feel off during the day and not be able to sleep at night. But yes, I'll have to keep researching and experimenting. My plan at the moment is to connect the fridge to a battery so that I can more or less permanently keep the power off for a while and see how that goes.
