Complete electrosmoke measurement in an apartment’s in Eixample (Barcelona)

WHAT HAVE WE FOUND?

Regarding the altern electric fields measured with the free potential method the readings were extreme: 160 V/m in an office due to a problem in the electric wiring.

Regarding the altern magnetic fields the readings were slightly significant: 120 nT in a bedroom due to the proximity of the office devices.

Regarding the electromagnetic waves, the readings were strong: 160 µW/m² in an office due to the neighbour’s Wi-Fi.

Regarding the continuous electric fields the readings were non-significant: 10 V in a bedroom.

Regarding the continuous magnetic fields the readings were extreme: 26 µT in a working place due to some metallic object in the neighbour’s and the metallic structures from the chair and table.

Regarding the radioactivity the readings were non-significant: 0,4 in a bedroom.

 

WHAT SHOULD BE FOUND

Altern electric fields: readings should be below 1,5 V/m and ideally below 0,3 V/m.

Altern magnetic fields: readings should be below 100 nT and ideally below 20 nT.

Electromagnetic waves: readings should be below 10 µW/m² and ideally below 0,1 µW/m2.

Continuous electric fields: readings should be below 500 V and ideally below 100 V

Continuous magnetic fields: readings should be below a difference of 2 µT and ideally below 1 µT.

Radioactivity: readings should be below a difference from the background reading of 70% and ideally below 50%.

 

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS

Altern electric fields: review the electric wiring and check out the earthing.

Electromagnetic waves: Talk to the neighbour. If this does not work make a shielding.

Continuous magnetic fields: move away from metallic objects.

 

RESULT AFTER THE INTERVENTION

Altern electric fields: after a revision from the electrician the problem with the wiring has been solved.
