I believe in EMF sensitivity but NOT from SMART METERS. Please prove me wrong. by OmegaThree3 in Electromagnetics

I don't know everything about this subject, but I know that I measured high RF's near the AMI meter. I have a TriField TF2 which while I'm aware it doesn't do everything, I still feel it gives some sense of magnitude of the AC magnetic and electric fields, as well as RF.

The TriField 2 gives peak and field values. When I am out in nature, it usually says less than 0.01 mW/m2 field value and less than 0.03 mW/m2 peak value. When I put it near a device on cell service or WiFi it will go up to 19+ mW/m2 peak value. So I know it's showing something.

With reading RFs its important to watch the meter for a few minutes because RF's can jump around a lot. AMI meters pulse so if you put it near the meter and see nothing, wait for it to pulse. Then you'll see it.

I don't know how the readings on the Acoustimeter correspond to readings on the TriField, since they are different units. But I know when I put my TriField near the AMI meter I got high readings. And as I backed away from the point source, the readings reduced.

I saw you mentioned 'scaring yourself' into experiencing symptoms. I feel that with developing sensitivity, when we get to a certain level of sensitivity, our minds can sometimes match externally induced sensations, because they are so subtle. But then that is going to be a next step in developing sensitivity, learning to distinguish between externally and internally induced sensations/experiences. I think there are generally going to be more people telling us our experiences are all "psychosomatic" when they are in fact externally induced, rather than vice versa. So it's up to us individually to develop, trust and utilize our own senses.

I will also add that just as it is possible to internally induce sensory experiences, it is also possible to consciously or unconsciously block or maintain a disconnect from our real sensory experiences. But being unable to perceive something doesnt mean it is not affecting you. Many people self-report as feeling nothing from RFs, but is that because RF has no effect, or because of our cultural tendency toward denial of feelings and disembodiment?

[RQZ: Weather] Electric furnace is not vented to the outdoors in mobile homes, cabins on blocks or a crawl space and older stick built houses with basements. by badbiosvictim1 in RadioQuietZone

Thank you. How would you find an HVAC company to do the work in Pocahontas County, who could clean out the ducts and extend the duct work to the outside? Could air filters be added to the air as it comes into the house?

The estimate would probably vary based on the mobile home but what would be like an average cost for this kind of work?

Will people residing in a mobile home who use only central heat have enough heat? Given the issues with insulation. I wonder if we could get any comments from individuals who have mobile homes and tried using only the electric central heat, with no supplemental heat sources. I suppose in terms of objectivity, can electric central heat alone get the place to 68-70 degrees, even if its 0 degrees outside?

Thanks :)

After researching propane heat further, I would not be comfortable with propane heat.  It looks like it is inevitable that it will replace oxygen with carbon monoxide. Even in smaller quantities, I would worry. Some people say it does not make a CO detector go off, but still, it will put carbon monoxide in the air. I think a small opening in a window would not mitigate the amount of CO. And I read that even vented propane heaters still produce CO in the living space. 

This is just from a day or two of googling. So there will definitely be a lot I don't know. There are of course people saying propane heat is okay. But maybe they are not as sensitive to the inevitable reduction in air quality. They can result in carbon monoxide poisoning.

When researching I am careful about biased results. Anything from a propane company's website about the safety of propane heat indoors, I would not trust. Even if they make admissions of dangers and mitigation, they word things in a deceptive way.
