• Radiation Assessments – our expertise encompasses a broad range of radiation sources:

  • RF (Radio Frequency): This includes testing for radiation from radio systems, cellular antennas, Wi-Fi networks, microwaves, and similar sources.
  • ELF (Extremely Low Frequency): We specialize in measuring radiation from power lines, transformers, electrical panels, and the impact on residential and commercial spaces like homes, offices, and business premises.

  We conduct comprehensive radiation exposure assessments in various environments, including schools, kindergartens, office buildings, manufacturing facilities, private businesses, individual homes, and residential complexes. Our aim is to ensure safe levels of radiation in both public and private spaces for enhanced health and safety.

  What to Expect During Radiation Assessment

  When visiting a client’s facility, we offer a comprehensive service that includes:

  • Choice of Tests:Clients can choose between radio radiation and electric radiation tests, or opt for both for a thorough evaluation.
  • Detailed Report:Our report provides essential information such as:

  o   A complete overview of the test procedure.

  o   The tester’s permit license number and its validity period, ensuring that the tester is certified and the permit is current.

  o   Verification that all testing devices are up to date with calibration, including lab certification and the effective date of calibration.

  o   Test Results: We include detailed results of the tests conducted, supplemented with photographs of the testing areas as necessary.

  o   Solutions and Recommendations: If any issues are identified, we provide tailored recommendations for solutions.

  • Ongoing Facility Management Advice:We offer tips and guidance for continuous safe management of radiation sources in your facility.

Optimal Times to Schedule a Radiation Test

Radiation testing is particularly recommended in the following situations:

• After Facility Renovations Involving Electrical Changes: If you’ve recently renovated your facility or home and made changes to the electrical system.
• Before Purchasing a Property:This includes homes, offices, or business spaces.
• Establishment of Cellular Infrastructure Nearby:If a new cellular antenna or related facility has been set up in your vicinity.
• Proximity to New Commercial or Industrial Developments:Particularly if new offices or factories have been established close to your facility.
• Installation of Electrical Infrastructure:If new lighting fixtures, electrical poles, or electrical utility rooms have been installed near your facility.
• For Peace of Mind:If you’re feeling concerned or anxious about potential radiation exposure and wish to ensure a safe environment.

In each of these scenarios, conducting a radiation test can provide valuable insights into the level of radiation exposure and offer guidance on any necessary protective measures.

Understanding Radiation from the Power Grid

How Electric Radiation is Generated

Electric radiation arises from electric and magnetic fields that originate primarily from electrical utility facilities. These fields are created in different ways:

• Radiation from an Electric Field:This type of radiation occurs even when no electrical appliance is in use. It’s generated from the electrical voltage that reaches the outlets in your home.
• Radiation from a Magnetic Field:This is produced when operating any electrical device, as well as from electrical utility infrastructure like power lines and transformers. When an electrical device is used, it generates a current flow, creating a magnetic field in the process.

Key Characteristics of Magnetic Fields

A notable aspect of magnetic fields is their ability to penetrate materials such as stone and wood without weakening. This also extends to their interaction with the human body. Due to this, and the fact that magnetic fields are generally considered more hazardous to humans than electric fields, radiation testing commonly focuses on measuring magnetic fields rather than electric fields.

Understanding Radiation from Radio Frequency Radiation Sources

Where It Comes From

Radio frequency radiation originates from various sources, both inside and outside your home:

• Outside the facility:This includes radiation from cellular company antennas, radio stations, and other similar sources.
• Inside the facility:Common household items like internet routers, cell phones, microwaves, refrigerators, and alarm systems are sources of radio frequency radiation.

Factors Influencing Radiation Levels

The intensity of this radiation can vary based on certain conditions:

• Proximity to Antennas:Higher levels are often found when you’re directly in line with an antenna, especially if it’s not obscured by any structures. Being at the same height as an antenna, such as in high-rise buildings, can also increase exposure.
• Closeness to Devices:Exposure can be higher when near devices that emit radio waves, such as cell phones, microwaves, wireless routers, and Bluetooth-enabled devices.

Health Considerations

While the health effects of radio frequency radiation, like electrical radiation, have not been conclusively proven to cause cancer, there have been reports of symptoms like headaches and memory loss associated with exposure. Therefore, it’s often said, “if there is any doubt then there is actually no doubt,” emphasizing the importance of caution. This is why testing for cellular radiation is recommended in homes, workplaces, educational institutions, and other environments.
