Good rule of thumb is to be at least 4 feet away from an electrical source, including wiring in the walls, which sends out a magnetic field - move your bed into the centre of the room at night or better still turn off as many fuses as you can in your fusebox. The magnetic field reading appears to be exponential, very high close up to vacuum cleaners, heaters, hairdryers, etc then dropping rapidly.

What make is your meter? The trifield one is great its frequency weighted, which means that it picks up on the fact that a doubling in frequency of magnetic fields doubles the energy, ie say you are picking up 1mG at 50hz, if it is 100hz should be 2mG, but if not frequency weighted will still show 1mG. http://www.trifield.com/content/the-trifield-meter/ 

"A TriField meter, when exposed to a 3 milligauss field, will read "3" if
 the frequency of the field is 60 Hz, but it will read "6" if the 3
milligauss field is at 120 Hz. In contrast, a non-frequency-weighted
(the flat response version of the TriField) meter will read "3" in both
cases, and a 60 Hz-only meter will read "3" and "0" respectively (even
though in the 120 Hz case, the current induced in a conductive body is
twice as much.)"

Another thing is that most meters dont measure the intermediate frequency fields (1khz to 1mhz kicked out by appliances such as computers, tvs etc. Also probably missing out on measuring the dirty electricity, radiofrequencies carried in on wiring.

Electrosensitives can be sensitive to much lower levels than 0.5mG.

You will also need a rf meter, the Cornet is good value, to measure wireless, DECT phone and cellphone/basestation radiation Also measures the police's channel TETRA at 400mhz.

Would recommend the ED85EX £119.99 which will measure from 1mhz- 8ghz using different antennae, great value for money. I have this and the ED25G £69.99

Hope this helps,

Charlie

        Earlier this year I diagnosed myself with EMS and some simple measures

I took had effect, which to me proved that I was right. But to know

better what to do I bought a Gauss meter and to my big surprise the EMF

levels inside the house are very low, at most places less than 0.5 mG.

Only the fridge and microwave give much higher readings, but I don't

spend half days stuck to the fridge.

So what should I do with this information? I'm still convinced I have

EMS. Maybe the low readings are still too high for me because I also

have ME/CFS? Unfortunately I can't compare it with my old living

environment.



Anyone any ideas, tips, suggestions, information? I'm quite confused.



Regards,

Rixta
