There is one aspect of EMFs that is commonly overlooked.
Electrical wiring errors. New homes, old homes, wiring errors are common in many homes.
What’s the big deal with these wiring problems?
The
big deal is that electrical wiring errors can be a significant source of electromagnetic fields or more precisely ‘power frequency electromagnetic fields’.
Power frequency EMFs have been linked to:
leukemia (especially in children)
brain cancer
breast cancer
increased risk of miscarriage
Alzheimer’s disease
reproductive problems and birth defects
depression,
blood disorders,
heart disease,
sleeping complaints
and a host of other ailments.
A lot of people think that because their electrics appear to be working correctly that they don't have a wiring error. WRONG. Everything may appear to be working
correctly but your electrical installation could still be emitting very high levels of magnetic fields.
The only way to know is by doing some simple tests with an inexpensive meter (not an EMF meter).
A few weeks ago I interviewed Electrical Engineer and Building Biology
Environmental Consultant Spark Burmaster on the topic of electrical wiring errors.
Following the interview I decided to invest in the meter in question and experiment with it.
I then contacted Spark for his advice on how to test for wiring errors.
