The Swedish government standards of safety limit exposure to ELF magnetic fields at 2.5 mG. Risks from EMF’s higher than 2.5 mG could range from headaches, fatigue and dizziness to skin rash, miscarriage, leukemia and cancer. (4) The NIH (National Institute Health) (http://www.lessemf.com/niehs.html) labels EMF as “Possible Human Carcinogen” (4)
In home EMF emitters include anything electrical like computers, microwaves, lights, wiring, cell phones, etc. Outside sources include power lines, radio & cell phone towers, etc. Some small household appliances can emit 30 mG or more.

The two main uses of the ELF meter in paranormal investigation are:
1) The Elf meter helps to eliminate possible problems with eyewitness accounts. Example: If eyewitness accounts include feelings of being faint, dizzy or headaches, we can eliminate EMF’s as a possible reason for the effect.
2) If an EMF fluctuation is detected (Yellow Light 2.5- 7 mG) we eliminate all environmental reasons (wires, etc.) leaving only questionable, abnormal or unnatural sources. This is the time to take pictures and collect other data including temperature readings.
