As a former Health Physicist, I can state with authority that there is no danger from EMF that one encounters in everyday life. No (valid, peer reviewed, i.e. scientific) evidence that EMF in everyday exposure is in the least bit harmful. That, BTW, includes cell phones.

Yeah, I know that all this crap about cell phones causing cancer is out there, but it is just crap. Same with living too close to a transformer. With an EMF meter, take your readings. Then place the meter colse to any dimmer switch. It will read thousands of orders of magnitude higher.

EMF inspections are a scam. There is no danger. This is just plain scientific fact.

Whenever I run into a person who claims to be an EMF inspector, I ask him what grade he got for Calculus. When he tells me that he never took Calculus, I then explain, "Then you know nothing about REAL science." Try it, sometimes, with all these clowns who claim that EMF is a hazard.

Hope this helps;

I was told along time ago that there is no such thing as Indoor Air quality problems. That everything you have been told is in your Head. After years of research I can tell conclusively that EMF does affect people just as much as high levels of Ultrafine Particles that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
Since you say you are a physicist I will point you to a case about a doctor that one a lawsuit against ignorance at a hospital.
You can go to www.tsi.com to find the case study under P-trak.
As for EMF all you need to do is sleep near an electrical transformer and see how you feel in the morning. You don't here about this info because many have no understanding but when you see it for yourself, like a miracle you believe.

EMF scare returns: Maternal appliance use and asthma in offspring?

Quote:
Let’s not forget that there is no plausible biological explanation for how EMF could cause asthma.

This study is comforting in that it is as junky as the 1990s-era studies that killed the EMF scare in the first place.

What does one have to do with other?

Pay attention and don't go near your microwave anymore as it appears to have affected your thinking

Quote:
Are media reports about arsenic in apple juice true?
The results of tests for arsenic in apple juice that were shared by the Dr. Oz Show with the Juice Products Association should not be interpreted as fact. Subsequent testing of the same lots of juice from two of the named brands, using an appropriate method for testing arsenic levels in juice, found significantly lower levels of arsenic, all well under any FDA level of concern.

Test results reported by the Dr. Oz Show were based upon a method intended for testing water. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has a specific method for testing fruit juice because juice contains many more naturally occurring compounds than water. In addition, comparing the trace levels of arsenic in apple juice to the regulatory guidelines for drinking water are not appropriate because regulatory agencies have set lower thresholds for drinking water than for food and other beverages because people consume larger amounts of water.
