Electromagnetic radiation EMR

All you smart alecks who don't believe this topic should be a concern, why do you even bother replying to this thread? Reply If you have any thing substantial to counter the concerns, or anything truly funny to say. otherwise, don't waste peoples time with your silliness. ad hominems are a fallacious form of reasoning, Usually used by those who have no argument. Of course this issue won't be resolved here, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be discussed here.

Has anyone had any further thoughts on this issue? I am an iMac 27 mid-2011 user, and I am wondering if it emits significantly more EMR front the front than a standalone monitor of comparable specifications, even when wi-fi and bluetooth are turned off.

The strongest readings I get seem to register near the center of the display body with ~100 milligauss at a distance of ~6 inches from the screen. I am using an AlphaLab TriField Meter on the ‘magnetic 0-3’ setting for these readings. This appears to resemble the output I am measuring from my mobile phone while it is transmitting.

I am not sure exactly which electronics are located in that region, but I was wondering if anyone else saw a similar effect. I am not an expert by any means, but have recently been wondering if I should monitor levels of EMR activity in the house.

do u use it that close? we use imac ~2' from screen. would appreciate a reading at that distance. wish someone would start a site listing what readings people get off various devices...

What are talking about. I was being perfectly serious.

In fact I spotted Elvis just last week at the 7-11. Said he was on his way to meet Nessie.

They laughed at me when I said that I saw Elvis. In fact, they still laugh.

I read somewhere that the EmR output is higher when you have the audio switched on, and when the brightness level is higher or lower than the default level (Not sure what the default level of brightness is). would appreciate if someone with a meter could confirm or deny this. that it makes much of a difference? I have to look into getting a meter

I found a section in the Important Product Information Guide about the FCC & IC SAR.

No, but I'll keep the foil hat on just in case.... 🙂

Considering where most people would place the iPad, is it really a hat you need?

I am of sufficient years to not have to worry about that area. 😁

Given that no one has published a "Safe" SARS level (or a dangerous level for that matter) what difference would knowing the level make?

Interesting question, but I would worry more about your cell phone giving you a brain tumor....

Youc an check out some video of ipads being tested here .

You are right . cell phones are even more dangerous.read more here

I'd be more worried about how much radiation I pick up from labs in uni. But for the normal person I don't think it would give out that much

Well said and very true.

Meg, I wasn't trying to insult scientists or their community - maybe I should have said some rather than many.
