After searching for the right EMF meter for my home, I decided to buy the Cornet ED88T. On this post you will find why.
These are four types of EMFs that you want to measure in areas where you spend a significant amount of time:
- Microwave Radiation
- Sources: wireless technology like Wi-Fi routers, cell towers, cordless phones and “smart” meters
- Magnetic Fields
- Sources: power lines, improper home wiring and appliances
- Health: They decrease the immune system and are known to be carcinogenic3
- Electric Fields
- Sources: unshielded electrical wiring
- Health: They rob you of a good night’s sleep3
- Dirty Electricity
- DE are the frequencies that travel on your home wiring from things like solar power inverters, florescent lighting, dimmer switches and wireless “smart” meters)
| EMF type | Cornet ED88T | Cornet ED78S | Trifield 100XE |
| Microwave Radiation | Yes | Yes | Yes, but not accurate2 |
| Magnetic Fields | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Electric Fields | Yes, but the scale is not ideal1 | No | Yes, but the scale is not ideal2 |
| Dirty Electricity | No | No | No |
Once you have the ED88T, you can watch this video to learn how to use it and you’ll probably wonder what the safe maximums are for all the readings:
| EMF type | Safe Max3 | Safe Max in Cornet ED88T screen readings |
| Microwave Radiation | 100 (day) 10 (sleep) microWatts/squared meters (uW/m2) | 0.1000(day), 0.0100 (sleep) miliWatts/squared meters (mW/m2) |
| Magnetic Fields | 1.0 milliGauss (mG) | 00.10 microTesla (uT) |
| Electric Fields | Less than 10 V/m | 0010. V/M |
| Dirty Electricity | 25-50 Graham-Stetzer Units | — |
