Should You Have an EMF Radiation Detector?

EMF Radiation Detector

Natural electromagnetic radiation is all around us. This force that surrounds the earth has no visibility, and it’s flavorless and odorless. It comes from the earth, the sun, and the ionosphere. But with the inception of modern technology, we have unnatural EMF radiation. Being a tool that may help you learn when EMF radiation is an issue, should you have an EMF radiation detector?

What is an EMF Radiation Detector?

Radiation exposure from electronics and unnatural means have shown to cause issues with some. It is even thought to cause some forms of cancer and tumors. That is why it is important to know how much is around you.

An EMF radiation detector is a device that helps you do just that. It measures the radiation around you. They measure two types of EMF measurements: Frequency-selective measurements and broadband measurements.

There are three different kinds of electromagnetic radiation:

  1. Natural
  2. Low frequency
  3. High frequency

How Do You Use a Detector?

Having an understanding of wavelength, frequency and, identifying the source(s) you wish to measure will help you find the perfect EMF meter to suit your application.

There are also single axis and tri-axis meters. Both measure EMF levels around power lines, industrial devices and home appliances. The tri-axis meter also measures TV sets, computer monitors, video machinery, and similar devices

Keep in mind:

  • Single-axis meters measure one dimension on the field. You have to tilt and turn these meters to obtain a full-field measurement. Single-axis meters are more affordable than tri-axis meters.
  • Tri-axis meters are often more expensive than single-axis meters because they obtain faster results by measuring three axes at once.

Should You Have a Detector?

If you are concerned with the EMF radiation around you, an EMF radiation detector is a must-have device. It can set your mind at ease as to the electromagnetic radiation you may not be aware of, allow you to make adjustments in your lifestyle, and to plan other means of eliminating some of the EMF in your home and vicinity.

I come from an R&D engineering background. Safely dealing with EMF was part of my work. As technology evolved and EMF moved from my work into the home, it became more important to deal with it in a sensible way. There is lots of controversy on EMF's impact to health. Fortunately, there are some simple principles you can apply to minimize impact and exposure until the science of EMF's impact on humans is resolved.
