One bedroom of my hoouse under 10uT megnetic radiation, how can I do next?

9,298 381 July 5, 2017 at 11:27 AM in Chat (2)
One bedroom, there is electric meter outside the outer wall, as well as underground wires.

I used an EMF radiation detector, read 10 uT magnetic radiation, safe value should be 0.4ut (US standard)

10 ut read at my bed position is much more than the safe 0.4ut. How can I do next?

Home builder is Chesmar homes, how did they approve the un-healthy floor plan allowing electric

meter next to(outside) a bedroom?

Could I get building code info. and report to local city government? How the city code and

city inspection exists(works)? May be city didn't do their job (inspection) correctly, or corruption involved.


UPDATE:

radiation source: smart gas meter & smart electricity meter

You asked a valid question relating to the OP's "issues".
so asking questions is helpful?

What's your source for the maximum safe value?
0.4 ut is on device manual, and alarm goes off when exceeds 0.4.

Also, 0.4 ut is us standard per google search.

The US Government Accountability Office published a report in 2012 urging the US ...... magnetic fields above about 0.4 uT (4 mG).

That's also not a source, that's part of a sentence, and then part of another sentence.

The ICNIRP has set exposure guidelines for the public to 100µT, and occupational workers at 500µT.

Yes. Why don't you wrap your meter in aluminum foil and see a reading of 0.
