I'd also add proximity to power lines.  Some houses are much closer to power lines and power transformers
than others.  Also, I've noticed that some of the power poles have smaller antennas on them... don't know
what they are, but I'd avoid those too.

Sometimes just replacing the outlet with a new one can dramatically reduce the readings on a Stetzer
meter.  Also use an outlet checker to find outlets that need to rewired to make them correctly wired.

Just because something gives off EMFs, doesn't mean that a person will have problems with it.
Not all EMFs are created equal.  :-)  Also, some people are very sensitive to natural gas, so
they want need to avoid that too.

Halogen bulbs that run off line voltage should be okay too.
