EMF hot-spot creation avoidance in office and home-office environments
Every new computer or other electronic and electric device is delivered with technical documentation. This documentation in most cases do not have precise data about Electro Magnetic Field (EMF) strengths which specific device emits during operation. Information about EMF levels should be included in documentation because inappropriate equipment orientation could create “hot spots” (points in which EMF exceeds acceptable values reported by different research reports) with higher levels of EMF than generally expected as healthy, this is especially important because specific environments are already saturated with other EMF sources such as GSM antennas. For the purpose to present what technical documentation should contain experiment were conducted. In this paper the health risk of EMF is not proven, but measurements presented show the potential of creating hotspots in home and office surroundings where occupants can be exposed to EMF for several hours.
