Thanks for the link. I read through it. I have a technical question.
I have a Trifield EMF meter. I have surveyed my apartment. On the RF setting, by the window, the meter is pegged (> 20 mW/m^2). This seems bad, since in front of the microwave while heating water is similar. In the bathroom, furthest from the windows, the sensor measures…

I have a Trifield EMF meter. I have surveyed my apartment. On the RF setting, by the window, the meter is pegged (> 20 mW/m^2). This seems bad, since in front of the microwave while heating water is similar. In the bathroom, furthest from the windows, the sensor measures 0.2-0.4 mW/m^2. On my bed, it varies. If I point the sensor directly into contact with the mattress, it ranges from 8-20 - depending on location. It does the same thing on my own body when I'm lying on the bed, although it is less (2-8). I now try to sleep in the area with the lowest signal.
So all this seems bad. But how bad? Perhaps my biggest problem is, I can't convert the units very well. Too many zeros.
I did all this because I've been having relatively new sleep issues, and I wanted to rule out EM radiation as a cause.
You might like to read my Health Alarm Part 2, especially the second half that discusses nutritional and other ways to detoxify from EMFs and from the pollutants in our bodies that are both harmful in themselves and become far more harmful when exited by EMFs. https://ernestdlieberman.substack.com/p/health-alarm-part-2-nanoparticles
There are 4 types of EMF - dirty electricity, RF, electric fields and magnetic fields. If you are interested in this topic and making your living space safe, I would suggest you get good meters that measure them- not the cheap, 3-in-1 Trifield. There are shielding materials you can use, such as regular uncoated aluminum window screen and fabrics/textiles, like Naturelle and if you have a smart meter, you can hopefully opt out of that.
The Safe Living Technologies website is a very good place for RF meters and shielding materials and they also have the best RF meter for lay people (their Safe and Sound Pro II, which I own). Less EMF (https://lessemf.com) is another good place to shop.
You can learn a lot from watching Youtube videos by building biologists specializing in EMR like Oram Miller (https://createhealthyhomes.com/) and Michael Neurert (https://emfcenter.com). And while you're at it, don't forget about chemicals and mold. Good luck.
Thanks for the references. I originally got my Trifield to measure magnetic field gauss, and I have repurposed it for RF (it being 3-in-1 and all). I was just wondering if my Trifield was telling me that I'm in danger.
Assume for a moment that I don't want to spend months of research to become an EMF subject matter expert. Ideally, there's a table somewhere that shows "the mice died after N mw/m^2 over a 3 period" so I can assess whether or not this is an issue for me.
Personally, I think it is in everyone's interest to really dig into this subject because we will be exposed to it all for the rest of our lives, and once you learn the subject, you can make informed decisions about things. And it is biologically hurting us whether we feel it or not. Youtube videos are great because they spoon-feed you info in a very short amount of time.
That being said, my RF meter says 0-10 mW/m2 is slight, 11-100 is moderate, above 100 is high and somewhere at least below 800 it registered extreme. The gaussmeter I own is from Less EMF and it is this one https://lessemf.com/product/switchable-31-axis-gaussmeter/. Oram Miller told me electric fields have more to do with sleep as opposed to magnetic fields, which are more dangerous. I used my RF meter to discover that my TV, even though everything in our house is hardwired, was still putting out Bluetooth I didn't know about, which was making me dizzy. It also revealed that my hardwired satellite receiver box near the TV was putting out wifi to the nearby tower at night, which could not be turned off and that caused dizziness, too. Both those signals were in the extreme, like tens of thousands.
First try to get your sleeping room to a reduced level of microwaves using shielding. There are some coatings that you can put on the walls, floors and ceilings. You can best start with simple cheap things like aluminum foil to see if that works for you. Start with the walls first. Or ceiling if there is a transmitter on the roof. With the meter you can see if it works.
Don't forget to connect them to ground. Most buildings have grounded connectors, and usually the metal of the water tap is grounded. Electricity can be dangerous. If you are not sure how it works, don't be afraid to ask friends to verify it. There are also some professionals that can help you to shield a room.
Thanks for your recommendations. I tried your simple foil approach, and it measurably helped reduce the signal in the room - maybe a 50% reduction. And that's only with maybe 60% window coverage. I did not ground the foil or use foil on the walls - the walls are cement, frames are metal, and my hope is that the entire building (its a large building) is grounded. My conclusion: shielding is an approach worth trying.
Something cheap like Chicken-fence may work for windows. Looks ugly though, but you can test how it works. You can later replace it with a (more expensive) fine metal grid that looks like a mosquito net/fence.
Note that the wave-length of the 5G can be very small. Your grid must be 50% smaller than the wavelength. With a <5 GHz transmitter the wavelength is >6 cm. So your fence should be like 3cm. But for short-distance transmissions 5G stations may also use much higher frequencies of 24–71 GHz (4 and 12 mm). Which is smaller than chicken-fence.
If you know what the source of the microwaves is, what frequencies are used, you can match your protection to it. You can also quick-test the protection by putting the metal grid around the meter. Or around your 5G telephone.
