Electromagnetic is not radiaton, although not good. I tried it on the microwave which when 5 feet away they were safe levels. So while foods are cooking ,I no longer stand in from of it, looking in the door. Also, I was surprised that the portable phone cradles are high and the coffee pot, which was a shock ! Don't think I would want to live under High Power Lines ! I have not held it up to my cell phone yet. I very seldom use it, but now that you mention it ...I will try it !

Yes, these devices measure the electromagnetic radiation from cell phones, cell towers, and depending on the range of the device, power line radiation. However, the inexpensive models are not very accurate. If you are experiencing EMF sensitivities, then you should search for a more professional meter.

The device measures EMF, which is when electricity generates a magnetic field. The "radiation levels" in a phone are talking about something different most likely - probably they are talking about the microwaves that are sent from the phone to the tower. I do not believe this device will not measure that or the wifi signals that use radio waves.

I believe that this device works well for EMF; but, I need a debice that is inexpensive to measure ion levels in my home environment

Hello, Brent V. With cellphones or wifi the potentially harmful radiation is radiofrequency (mostly in the vicinity of "microwave oven" radiation, around 2.4 Ghz) because these frequencies are particularly prone to do eventual damage to us. If I correctly recall, there are devices for measuring "rogue microwaves" but they are mostly to detect badly sealed microwave ovens.

Not that I know of. I did extensive research in 2012 and found this to be the best on the market.From what I understand it still is in the top three or four but everyone argues theirs is the best. If you are having some kind of interferance can you think of somthing that might be causing it like any form of large machinery, Microwave or electronic device that is "wireless"? Some wifi routers and older cell phones can cause interferance with some sensative electronics.

Yes, I have been able to detect all of those EMF sources; a microwave produces a very strong EMF, which made me decide to stand at least 5 feet away, while heating something. Another strong finding is my laptop, so I don't keep it on my lap when operating.

I don't know what it is, but a friend of mine who suffers extensively from the effects of all types of 'Waves' i.e. wireless - pylons- microwaves - hand's free phones etc, has a hand-held meter which sounds when it detects such waves. On two occasions now, one in our present property the other in our previous property with the Earthcalm home protector in situ, no reaction was detected when previous to it's installation had screamed. I hope this helps to answer your question.

hmmm. i didn't realize it was for ghost hungint???? i use it to measure emf emissions and i love it. you move it around the appliance and it will show the emf emissions. i had one that was a lot more expensive and technical showing exact measurement but it was awkward and difficult to use imo. i like this one because it's simple and gives me te info i need. you point and push the on button and get the reading. i love it. !

no, this EMF sensor is not designed for that purpose, it will show only the magnetic field around a cell phone, but cell phone radiation can not be displayedregards

I wondered that myself - the place where emf is emitted is far away from your brain, but it ends up by your heart instead! I don't feel anything in my chest though like I did in my ears when I wore conventional ear buds.

Actually what Im trying to figure out is how to actually connect to that wifi connection. HOw do I hook up to it with my PC? Or do I actually need something to plug into my laptop that picks up the signal. Im not sure if the tiny laptop I have will automatically pick up a wifi signal if there is one in the area, or If I have to buy some kind of device to hook up to it. And if I need a device, I wouldnt even begin to know what Im looking for.

Yes, this meter will detect all three forms of radiation - alpha & beta particles, and gamma rays. Using the meter, you should be able to detect elevated levels of radiation if placed near the fish (not through glass). Please note, there is background radiation everywhere (your home, car, outside, work, neighborhood park, etc) so just because it clicks and registers, doesn't mean harmful levels of radiation are present. You must determine what levels are unsafe for you/your family based on scientific dosage guidelines.

How did you research? Where did you obtain proof? I asked the seller for info & they couldn't provide me with any proof in English that this doesn't come from an area affected by the radiation.

I don't think so, but I'm not sure. It measures radiation from the microwave.

You are looking at a low-frequency EMF meter. It measures EMF from mains electrical devices and other (very low frequency) EMF sources. You can use this type of meter to check EMFs from mains electricity, power lines, high voltage lines, electrical installations, sub-stations and transformers, house wiring, domestic electrical appliances TVs, computers, office equipment, factory machinery, vehicles (cars, trains etc). This meter is not designed to measure ionizing radiation (x-rays and gamma rays), or radio-frequency / microwave radiation, unless specifically stated.

well this do cell phonesDoes this do cell phone readings. I read a few in this post that it didn't work for them.

I recommend the Trifield 100XE EMF Meter for those sort of readings. It's cheaper, accurate, and easy to use. The extech is best if you want to measure radiation from cell towers etc.

I contacted the company and asked about the EM field.They told me it is low to nothing.I asked for a specific number and they called me back with the same low to nothing and do not worry stuff.By avoiding a direct answer I think their number must be high and possibly dangerous to our health. I will not buy this product.

Personally I did not find it capable of detecting frequencies in the MHz itself let alone GHz range of wifi. It is best for detecting ELF such as power lines and microwaves, but that's about it.
