Building biology tests in a house from a person with Multiple Chemical Sensitive symptoms in Palau-solità i Plegamans (Barcelona)

WHAT HAVE WE FOUND?

Regarding the alternating current field measurement with the free potential method the readings were extreme: 36,5 V/m in the bedroom.

 

Regarding the electromagnetic waves, the readings were strong: 300 µW/m² in the office room due to the Wi-Fi emissions.

 

Regarding the formaldehyde the readings were extreme: between 125 and 250 µg/m³ in the bedroom due to a new wooden wardrobe recently installed in the event of the house refurbishment.

WHAT SHOULD BE FOUND

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

Electromagnetic waves: readings should be below 10 µW/m² and ideally below 0,1 µW/m² in case of sensible people.

Formaldehyde: readings should be below 50 µg/m³ and ideally below 20 µg/m³.

 

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS

Alternating current fields: revision of the electrical wiring by a specialist in biocompatible electric installations.

Electromagnetic waves: connect Wi-Fi only when use nedeed.

Formaldehyde: ventilate periodically and seal all air leaks from the new chipboard wood wardrobe.
