beginner EMF meter recommendation?
 
|
I really apologize if this has been discussed before; when I searched archives it gives me 700 responses, most of which are related to Smart Meters, so I hope you won't mind if I ask a newbie question...
I am a total beginner at all this EMF stuff. The truth is, my children are not well, and for 4 years I have been contemplating the possibility of EMF sensitivity, but I haven't done anything just because it overwhelms me. So I'm finally starting to think I need a meter just to get started. I asked at lessEMF, to see if they can recommend a less than $50 meter to help me satisfy my curiosity, but their recommendations are $150-$200, and I just can't spend that under the circumstances. How do all of you check your houses for EMF pollution? Are there any meter rental programs? Can you point me toward any "EMF for Dummies" kind of websites? Thank you so much for helping me, Tamara |

Hi Tamara,

I asked at lessEMF, to see if they can recommend a less than $50 meter to help me satisfy my curiosity, but their recommendations are $150-$200, > Basic fact is there are many different kinds of meters, to measure many different kinds of fields. And the cheap meters give cheap results, or cover a limited spectrum. It is not possible to check everything on a small budget. But I would say the Cornet ED-85 for EMF, plus one simple Gauss Master meter, would give the most bang for the buck. > Can you point me toward any "EMF for Dummies" kind of websites? > There are rental programs, although I make so much use out of my meters, I can't imagine only using one for a couple days. There is always something New to learn, new equipment, new locations... Check out my webpage, it should help. http://seahorseCorral.org/ehs1.html Stewart |

The following are not necessarily accurate meters, but they suit their purpose in comparison to more expensive meters:
1. Cornet for RF (looks like lessemf.com no longer sells the ED85, but they have RF Power Meter for $130 which goes up to 5.8 GHz which should be adequate) 2. Trifield for magnetic fields (~$130), but the RF & electric on it are too weak to be useful for health purposes. Dr. Gauss is a cheaper gaussmeter but I didn't like it-- IIRC, you have to hold down a button while you're measuring? 3. $15 radio shack radio for intermediate frequencies from electronics (radioshack), esp. on lowest frequency 4. Body voltage meter for impact of electrical field (emfcenter.com has instructions to make your own) Photos at: http://www.wireless-precaution.com/main/detection.php My guess is that you could get all of the above for <$400. Meanwhile, just 1 expensive meter can easily cost over this. --- In [hidden email], S Andreason <sandreas41@...> wrote: > > Hi Tamara, > > > So I'm finally starting to think I need a meter just to get started.

boy, these replies are eye opening. it is very expensive to "diagnose" EMF pollution. can anyone point me toward any rental programs? where should i look?

One such rental site for Trifield and body voltage meter is: http://www.emfcenter.com/metrsale.htm You might find it more cost-effective to keep a meter for frequent use though, e.g., the Cornet meter (RF Power Meter) is one you'll probably be able to use over and over again. --- In [hidden email], "allnatural_nut" <all-natural-nut@...> wrote: > > boy, these replies are eye opening. it is very expensive to "diagnose" EMF pollution. can anyone point me toward any rental programs? where should i look? > > thanks again, > Tamara > > --- In [hidden email], "emraware" <emraware@> wrote: > > > > The following are not necessarily accurate meters, but they suit their purpose in comparison to more expensive meters: > > > > 1.
