What is Electromagnetic Field Testing?

Electromagnetic fields or EMF consists of energy waves that are emitted by electrical devices. EMF testing is used to evaluate the health effects of electromagnetic radiation in a building. Our body also produces electromagnetic fields, but these fields are low in intensity. Exposure to high-intensity electromagnetic fields from external sources, such as appliances, power lines, and electronic devices, can potentially impact our health over time. Conducting EMF testing is often an essential component of creating a safe living or working environment, as outlined in an environmental management services overview. By identifying and mitigating sources of electromagnetic radiation, it is possible to reduce potential risks and promote overall well-being in indoor spaces.

As a growing number of people are becoming aware of the importance of electromagnetic radiation, and the potential health effects of EMF, more and more safety standards are being introduced and enforced. However, there is still a significant amount of uncertainty and vulnerability amongst consumers regarding EMF testing.

Electric fields are measured in units of volts per meter, or V/m. Magnetic fields are measured in milli-Gauss, or mG.
