Articles on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs)
The following links bring you to Articles on EMFs written by Oram Miller, BBEC.
This includes an article on
Magnetic
Fields that you can view by clicking
here.
To view an article on
Radio Frequency EMFs, including a discussion of the wide
discrepancy of safe limits between our
country's governmental regulatory agencies and those of countries around the world such as in Europe, click
here.
To view articles on Electric Field EMFs, click on the third and fourth articles below. To help you understand the
discussion on electric fields better, I urge you to view diagrams explaining electric and magnetic fields by clicking
here and scrolling all the way down to see the
pertinent diagrams. These were created by
Spark Burmaster of Wisconsin, building biologist, electrical
engineer and faculty for the
International Institute for
Bau-biologieTM and Ecology (IBE) in Clearwater, Florida.
To print out a handout on how to rewire lamps and other appliances with a shielded, grounded cord so that you can eliminate
day and evening time electric field exposure, click
here. Order the shielded cord mentioned in the handout and take it
and your lamp to a local small appliance repair shop. I mention one such a shop located in Santa Monica in the handout for those in
the Los Angeles area.
To view information and links on how to select and purchase EMF meters and instruments so that you can take your own
EMF measurements, click
here. In particular, you will find the following:
- A link to download a parts list for equipment needed to measure AC electric fields
- A link to download a protocol on how to take your own electric field measurements
- Recommended meters and instruments to measure AC magnetic fields
- Recommended meters to measure radio frequencies from wireless devices such as cell phones, cordless telephones, Wi-Fi enabled
routers, and smart meters
- How to measure so-called "dirty electricity"
Oram has also written articles on EMFs as part of a series for fellow building biologists
Ron & Lisa Beres, based in Irvine, California for their blog,
Healthy Home Dream Team.
Eight articles have appeared in the series so far. Four articles appeared on their
blog in 2010. The remainder have appeared every few months since September 2012.
The first article, entitled, "What's All the Static About? Cell Phones and Radiation,", appeared June 23, 2010. It
discusses the hidden dangers of wireless communications: cell phones, cordless telephones and WiFi.

The second article, entitled, "Cell Phones, Cordless Phones and Wi-Fi: How to be Safely Connected in the Wireless
Age,", appeared July 5, 2012. It discusses
strategies to help protect you from harmful health effects while using cell phones, cordless telephones and WiFi.

The third article, entitled, "Electric Fields, Melatonin from the Pineal Gland, and a Deep Night's Sleep: What's
the Connection?", appeared September 2, 2010. It discusses one of the unknown causes of restless sleep, electric fields, and
its connection to melatonin.

The fourth article, entitled, "Finally, a Good Night's Sleep", appeared December 11, 2010. It
discusses steps to help you reduce and eliminate the most common type of EMF, electric fields, that robs us of a good night's sleep.

The fifth article, entitled, "Smart Meters: Should We Be Concerned?", appeared September 4, 2012. It
gives an introduction to the topic of smart meters: what they do, how they affect health, and what can be done about them.

The sixth article, entitled, "Smart Meters: The Dirty Truth", appeared September 18, 2012. It
discusses the issue of so-called "dirty electricity" and smart utility meters.

The seventh article, entitled, "You Mean Baby Monitors Aren't Safe?", appeared November 20, 2012. It
discusses the risks to children and mothers from wireless devices.

The eighth and most recent article, entitled, "Fatal Attraction: Magnetic Fields at Home (Part I)", appeared
April 2, 2013. It begins a three-part series on magnetic fields in your home, starting with the basics on how
magnetic fields are created and what types the building biology profession recognizes. The second and third articles in
the series will cover how to measure magnetic fields and how we mitigate them.
