Frequently Asked Questions

EMFs can act differently on the body based on frequency and power. They produce tissue heating at high exposure, but the majority of normal EMFs in everyday life have negligible biological impacts. Investigations are ongoing as to any possible long-term effects on sleep, stress, and cellular processes.

Commercial and residential property EMF surveys professionally range from $200-$500 and $500-$2,500, respectively. Charges are based on the size of the building, depth of the survey, and the inclusion of mitigation recommendations. Others provide measurement services and remediation.

While controversial in mainstream medicine, most scientists concur that some individuals do develop actual symptoms after exposure to EMFs. The condition, also known as electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), remains the subject of scientific investigation. Building managers should respond sympathetically to these concerns and make reasonable adjustments.

EMF readers detect and measure how intense electromagnetic fields are at various frequencies. Simple meters typically measure very low frequency (ELF) fields from electrical sources. Advanced devices can detect radio frequency (RF) radiation from wireless devices, allowing users to know how much they are exposed to and pinpoint the sources more accurately.
