We surveyed low frequency electromagnetic fields (60 Hz) with regard to the potential to exceed WHO, ICNIRP, and IEEE guidelines in West Palm Beach, FL. Stuart Bagley, MS, CIH of IAQ-EMF Consulting Inc., conducted our survey to evaluate the potential to exceed guidelines Importantly, our findings revealed that none of the rooms in this home exceeded the World Health Organization (WHO) level of concern for magnetic or electric fields.
This positive outcome is supported by a key principle of EMF behavior. Based on empirical evidence, technicians consequently record the highest readings at or near the source, and these readings drop off rapidly with distance. And that these readings drop off rapidly with distance from the source. It is important to note that measurements taken usually represent the peak reading at the location tested. Average exposure in a room is always of lower intensity. We installed electromagnetic shielding for a home in West Palm Beach, Florida. This photo shows workers installing the shielding on walls adjacent to overhead power lines near the home. The installed material absorbs and blocks the low-frequency magnetic field.
Electromagnetic Shielding
We installed electromagnetic shielding for a home in West Palm Beach, Florida. Workers are seen here installing the shielding on walls adjacent to overhead power lines near the home. The installed material absorbs and blocks the low-frequency magnetic field.
Key Points of Our EMF Protection Efforts:
1. Electromagnetic Shielding Installation:
Firstly, workers installed shielding materials on walls adjacent to overhead power lines.
As a result, the materials effectively absorb and block low-frequency magnetic fields, thereby reducing EMF exposure within the home.
2. Comprehensive EMF Survey and Testing:
Furthermore, we conducted a detailed survey and EMF testing to assess potential exceedance of WHO, ICNIRP, and IEEE guidelines.
To ensure accuracy, measurements were taken in various locations within the home for a thorough evaluation.
3. Results and Findings:
Ultimately, no rooms exceeded the WHO’s level of concern for magnetic or electric fields.
Consequently, peak readings were highest near the EMF source and dropped off significantly with distance, which highlights the effectiveness of shielding and strategic room layout.
4. Ongoing Monitoring and Recommendations:
Finally, we advised the homeowner to consider periodic EMF monitoring to ensure continued compliance with safety guidelines.
Additionally, we provided recommendations for maintaining a safe distance from high EMF sources and optimizing room layouts to minimize exposure.”
