Introduction/Scope of Supply

1.0 Introduction / Scope of Supply
Modern lifestyles with electrical household instruments, tool, machines and computers is
not possible without electricity. In highly industralised countries, the inhabitants are
subjected to electrical and magnetic field strenghts being far superior to natural charges.
Contrary to magnetic fields, electrical fields can be shielded quite easily. The charges for
human organisms caused by magnetic fields are far higher than those caused by
electrical fields. The HDT EMF tester allows easy verification of the magnetic field
strength.
Treshold values
The recommendations of the "International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection" (ICNIRP) is:
Frequency Hz
50
Precautions
The Ecolog institute recommends a value for the magnetical strength of 0,1 µT. Building
biology specialists recommend even less than 0,02 µT for sleeping places.
