After more than 25 years of intensive study, the health and safety conscious Swedish government has established a safety limit for exposure to ELF magnetic field at 2.5 mG, and VLF magnetic fields at only 0.25 mG. The Swedish standard is generally accepted throughout the world.
What this possibly means is that if someone consistently experiences exposure, which exceeds the standard, that person could be at risk for developing health problems.
Even though the controversy of conflicting scientific studies persists, it seems strange that cigarettes and alcohol are packaged with warnings we already know about, and the sodium, fat, and cholesterol content of foods must appear on the labels, but no one tells you that the average hairdryer, vacuum, or electric can opener can emit an amazing 300mG or more!
