Why Not Worry about EMF radiation in Tesla

One of my colleagues at work has a family member who is very sensitive to EMF radiation to the point that he had to stop using WiFi routers and give up mobile phones.
Even the wifi electric meter installed outside of his house gives this person major headaches. This of course made me a bit worried about driving in Tesla. Am I sitting on the microwave everyday?

I finally decided to measure EMF radiation and sharing my numbers here:

Hope this helps someone!

Did you measure the right thing? The units advertised on the page measure magnetic fields, i.e. Teslas. Magnetic fields fall off rather quickly with distance. Calling this a measure of "radiation levels" is just wrong. The magnets on your refrigerator will generate much stronger magnetic fields than this.

Hams worry about excessive field strength. They measure V/m (Volts per meter) which applies to the electric field. When talking about radiation this only applies to the EM (electromagnetic) field. EM fields can be focused and directed so the strength is not the same in all directions. This stuff is not so simple.

BTW, the electric meter generates so much less field strength than the wires coming into your house it isn't funny.

Do you worry about using the microwave oven too?
