EMF dangers - advice needed

[Deborah B]

My flat has high levels of EMF, Electromagnetic Field from floor wiring / Electric Field from ceiling wiring. It is often is above safe levels for continued exposure. Two years ago I had 2 incidents when EMF was so strong it made my entire body shake visibly - I had to run to get out of the flat.
I would like to know;
1) what could have been the cause of these two incidents?
2) what are the physical consequences of remaining in this situation for a sustained length of time when said incidents are occurring?
3) since the problem remains, what is the probability that these incidents could happen again - am I correct to be scared?

Can I ask, what repairs have you asked your landlord to carry out, and who has given advice to conclude what is needed?

This is why we need TN-S and RCDs on all electrical supplies. I'm with you Deborah even if my ability to help you is limited. Stay strong and keep pushing! Activism goes a long way.

I can't and won't comment on the sensitivity to em fields other than to say that there could be alternative (cheaper) ways of shielding using foil panels to create a faraday cage, which could be an easier remedy depending on construction. The OP could consider that.

Do any supermarkets connect their POS terminals with wifi? I would have thought they all used ethernet?

EMF = electromotive force
take care

EMF = electromotive force

EMF = electromagnetic field
emf = electromotive force

It's ambiguous because not everyone cares about the distinction and capitalisation, and many who discuss the significance of EMFs don't have much to do with emfs. You can usually discern the intended meaning:

'The emf from the thermocouple is very stable : Electromotive force.
'The EMF from the phone mast fried my giraffe ' : Electromagnetic field.

actually undergoing issues like this. Although there is a wealth of misinformation about EMF and it's effects of the human body, there is also a wealth of research done by medical experts and those from other scientific fields who have drawn direct correlations between health issues and this - please research it yourself before writing posts such as

It would be useful if you could cite some of them as I have not seen any showing this. Don't forget that we have been running an "experiment" over the last 20+ years subjecting over a billion people to significant EMF in the form of mobile phone use and to date very little evidence of ill effects have been demonstrated (excluding morons using one while driving and causing death & injury that way).

How does using a mobile phone effect you?

information especially from 'trusted' bodies. Don't forget, 'trusted' scientists once thought the earth was flat....!

Except they never did.

Both the Romans and Greeks knew the world was round, with Posidonius (135BC to 51BC) estimated the Earth's circumference at 39,000 km (only 1,074km too small).

By the time the "scientific method" was established (often with significant credit given to Francis Bacon (1561 to 1626) they had already seen Christopher Columbus' attempts to reach India going round the world in the opposite way in 1492 and encountering America by surprise (hence the West Indies naming).

That is shocking Electrical basic science emf is electromotive force, I was trying to be nice to the poor chap.

maybe it's EMF in conspiracy rubbish I have no idea. Electro magnetic Field making me shake!!!

I have an 11kV transformer under my bedroom and I'm fine

Make sure it's bonded to the bed frame!

Wow you must have some sex toy to need that!

@Deborah B
When you fled the flat , what were weather conditions like ?
Electrostatic fields can be caused by air ionisers.
( and will freak out some instruments )

I'm sorry to hear about your giraffe, Lucien.
Perhaps if you have shorter pets they will be out of the danger zone!

that's what they want you to think, got to go there watching me.
