Abstract : Domestic and office electric appliances are the main source of electromagnetic emissions within houses and offices. In this study magnetic flux was estimated for 49 electric devices. The electric field was also measured for a number of electric devices at different distances. The variation in distance was 10 cm. The maximum reading measured (400,000 nT) was for an electric shaving device; and it was 200,000 nT at 10 cm away from the same device. It was much higher than limits recommended by ICNIRP. The maximum reading for the electric field (1500 V/m) was from fluorescent lights. At 10 cm away from these lights, the reading was 300 V/m, which is much less than limits recommended by ICNIRP. The electric and magnetic fields of various electric devices were compared with both the Swedish standards and limits recommended by ICNIRP. However, safe distances were recommended as well.
