What is Our Procedure for Assessing the Electromagnetic Fields In Your Home?

We use the highest standard instruments, ISO 17025 certified-calibrated, to test from DC to 60 GHz, beyond IoT and 5G to satellite transmissions. Insist on up-to-date ISO 17025 certified-calibrated instruments for all high-risk measurements, accurate assessments, replicable studies, and verifiable reports.

First, we listen to your concerns and answer any questions. Then, we summarize our process and get right to work. If you relate to us that you have a particular concern, such as a nearby cell tower or power line, we address your concern(s) first; to help relieve any anticipation or anxiety.

We are not about pointing out all the problems and relating how dangerous a certain level is; we measure and survey to determine remediation protocols.

We work with professional calmness testing for good, better, and best solutions.

Elexana’s Residential EMF Survey CHECKLIST

Stray Current can enter your building via water, gas, and coaxial internet service lines or your HVAC system. It is measured in amperes and flux density. Be sure your consultant can provide solutions compliant with the National Electric Code, NEC.
Complete Grounding System assessment check and measuring in mV, amperes, and fundamental frequencies on each; often, they are not 60 Hertz. This check is for two tests: the EGC Equipment Ground Conductor System and the Overload Lightning Protection System. Singular to Elexana LLC, we measure your grounding system's impedance to ensure < 25 Ohms.
- (We can also conduct a soil resistivity test with a state-of-the-art 4-point ground rod Wenner Test and calculate how many ground rods you require to reach the NEC requirement of < 25 Ω, upon request.)
AC Magnetic Fields, indoors and outdoors, must be measured. Most measure 1 MHz at best, but we include the magnetic fields from HF High-Frequency sources. We identify and isolate the size, shape, coupled frequency bands, velocity, and all co-signaling fields. We identify source points and propose the best solutions. Many of these sources can be remediated. AC Magnetic emissions from your appliances and other source points, such as power lines, electrical conduits, risers, and heating panels, must be measured. If your work requires power tools, then your tools need to be measured. Your consultant must be trained and qualified to identify wiring errors and instruct your electrician on fixing them.
AC Electric Fields to 60 MHz, measured in Volts-per-meter, V/m. This includes all E-fields emitted by ungrounded lamps and appliances, Romex (unshielded home electrical wiring), and poorly grounded electrical distribution lines. Tip: sometimes, powering OFF a bedroom will increase the E-Field flux within a room, so please do not do this unless it is verified as safe. The spectrum range between 1 - 30 MHz is the most overlooked bandwidth because the equipment to measure this bandwidth correctly is so expensive. This may be why this ubiquitous field is not discussed much but should be included in every assessment.
DC Magnetic Fields, measured in nanoTesla (nT) with a state-of-the-art DC magnetometer used for scientific research. Geomagnetic stress can be a severe issue at specific locations and should not be overlooked.
DC Electrostatic Fields, measured for source-point identification. (We measure this in V/m for commercial interference applications and surface voltage for those with pacemakers and/or heart conditions.) Be sure to receive a solution plan. DC static shock can cause serious harm.
Epidermal Voltage is measured at the workstations and sleeping areas to help determine and remediate source points. Much of this work is often done during an assessment. We measure our epidermal voltage as a reference. Clients can opt to have their voltage measured too.
Electromagnetic Interference, EMI, often incorrectly termed Dirty Electricity (DE) measured on the phase, neutral, and ground using an oscilloscope amplitude and FFT. Also, measuring airborne EMI is essential. (To only use a plug-in Broadband EMI Line Meter to sell wall outlet filters is an overdone sales tactic to ramp up commissions.) We use state-of-the-art equipment to accurately and thoroughly assess the harmonic transients coupled to your electrical system’s 60 Hertz sine wave.
Radio Frequencies of the 5G Network and much more, At Elexana, we can measure RF analyzed in 3-D as low from 50 Hz to 60 GHz.
Note: The consultant should consider more than power density levels: the number of signals and frequency clusters, reflection rate, phase distortions, signal coherence, multi-path interference, and more. Only measuring peak levels does NOT tell the whole story for providing the best RF solutions.
Baseline Testing of all Ambient Fields: A full and final conclusive EMF assessment of all emissions entering the home from outdoors or the surrounding apartments versus what is produced within the home. Make sure the consultant provides clear solutions. Simply recommending that you get some distance from a source point is not a professional solution.
