To use the voltmeter I grounded it with a 30 cm long screwdriver into a wet ground.
Possible Safe Levels to Consider
Radio Frequencies = 1 microWatt per square meter (μW/m²) Magnetic Field = 0,1 Milligaus (mG) Electric Field = 0,1 Volt on skin
Notes
I am not a certified technician. I am a EHS person who has learned to use this meters.
I have measured the EMF pollution received on the driving seat.
Every EHS person is different and can accuse symptoms even below the recommended values. So I can not guarantee that a car is safe or toxic for everybody.
FIAT PUNTO 2007 – 1400 petrol
Recommended
RF = 0 μW/m² MF = 0,18 mG (0,8 at feet level) EF = 0,007 V
Comment Simply the best.
NISSAN MICRA 2006 – 1240 petrol
Recommended
RF = 0 μW/m² MF = 0,28 mG EF = 0,017 V
Comment Good old safe little car.
FIAT PANDA 2008 – 1200 methane + petrol
Recommended
RF = 0 μW/m² MF = 0,24 mG (1,3 at feet level) EF = 0,066 V
Comment There is just a little magnetic field when the engine is on, but it might be bearable even if you are EHS. No radio frequencies.
FORD FOCUS SW 2013 – 1600 LPG + petrol
Recommended
RF = 0 μW/m² MF = 0,5 mG EF = 0,12 V
Comment It’s my car and I feel good on it. All the values are acceptably low.
I have pushed the balance of the speakers all to the right, so to reduce the magnetic field that my legs receive from the left speaker (0,8 mG instead of 1,2 mG). On the dashboard there is just a tiny display.
CITROEN C3 2013 – 1300 petrol
Recommended
RF = 0 μW/m² MF = 1 mG EF = 0,015 V
Comment There is just a little magnetic field when the engine is on, but it might be bearable even if you are EHS. No radio frequencies.
WOLKSWAGEN TOURAN ECOFUEL 2003 – 2000 methane + petrol
Recommended, but…
RF = about 30 μW/m² for half of the time MF = 0,8 mG (2,6 at feet level) EF = 0,015 V
Comment There are small radio frequencies produced when the engine is on; 30 μW/m² can be tolerable for many EHS people. The magnetic field is decent at steering wheel level, higher at feet level, but maybe tolerable. This car is not perfect, but surely not so bad.
RENAULT CAPTUR 2021 – 1000 petrol + LPG
Recommended, but…
RF = 3-30 μW/m² MF = 0,7 mG (1,8 at feet level) EF = 0,010 V
Comment You can switch off the Bluetooth and the data transmission. Despite, this, there are small radio frequencies produced when the engine is on, tolerable for many EHS people. They don’t make any difference when driving in a town or on a highway. Further more, every time you switch off the engine, you receive peak up to 70.000 for four seconds. Disappointing detail, but tolerable. If you are searching for a pretty safe modern car, this is surely an option to consider.
NISSAN QASHQAI – 2017 – 1200 petrol (NEW!)
Recommended, but…
RF = 0 μW/m² MF = 1 mG (2,8 at feet level) EF = 0,025 V Comment You can easily switch off the Bluetooth. Only the magnetic field is a bit high at feet level, but this car looks generally safe.
FIAT 500L 2017 – 1200 Diesel
Recommended, but…
RF = 0 μW/m² MF = 1,5 mG (2,5 at feet level) EF = 0,011 V
Comment The Bluetooth is not active if there are no connected telephones. The engine produces a slight magnetic field that doesn’t make this car fully recommended, but it may be acceptable for EHS drivers, especially on short trips.
DACIA DUSTER 2018 – DIESEL 1600
Recommended
RF = 0 MF = 1 mG (3-5 at feet level) EF = 0,25 V
Comment There is not a button to switch the Bluetooth off, but it goes off automatically when there are no Bluetooth devices on board. The magnetic field is high at the feet level, but acceptable at the steering wheel level. This car is not perfect, but it could be safe enough.
.
SUBARU FORESTER – 2006 – 2000 petrol + GPL
Not recommended, but… RF = 0 μW/m² MF = 1,8 mG (11 at feet level) EF = 0,041 V Comment The magnetic field, especially at feet level, makes this car not recommended. But good for passengers on the backseats.
.
.
FIAT TOPOLINO 2024 – full electric minicar
Not recommended, but…
RF = 0 μW/m² MF = up to 6,5 mG at maximum speed (45 km/h) EF = 0,5 V (at 20 km/h)
Comment I could not measure the electric field at full speed. The magnetic field depends on the speed. At 20 or 30 km/h the mG is about 3 mG, so for short trips in the traffic, this cheap car could be an option when you can not use a bicycle.
WOLKSWAGEN T-ROC 2025 – 1500 petrol
Not recommended, but…
RF = variable (please read the comment) MF = 0,35 mG (1,6 at feet level) EF = 0,025 V
Comment You can deactivate the Wi-Fi and the data transmission, but you still get from 300-700 μW/m² for about 5 seconds every 6 seconds. After about two minutes, the car stops trying to connect devices. When you switch off the engine, you get peaks up to 1000 μW/m² for 10 seconds. I can not recommend this car, but long trips might be safe.
FIAT CUBO 2013 – 1400 methane + petrol
Not recommended, but…
RF = 450 μW/m² MF = 0,3 mG (0,85 at feet level) EF = 0,005 V
Comment It could be a safe car, but every 50 seconds you receive 4 seconds of about 450 μW/m² from the blue tooth device. You can not disable it, but maybe an auto-electrician knows how to put it out of order.
KIA REE’D – 2014 – 1600 Diesel (NEW!)
Not recommended
RF = 500 – 1000 μW/m² MF = 0,6 mG EF = 0,005 V Comment You can not deactivate the bluetooth, so you continuously get 500 μW/m² with peaks up to 1000.
MINI COOPER 2019 – 2000 diesel
Not recommended, but…
RF = 0 μW/m² (when the Bluetooth is off) MF = 3,5 mG EF = 0,053 V
Comment You can switch off the Bluetooth and turn off the big display. Unfortunately there is a quite big magnetic field, that makes this car not recommended. Rear seats might be quite safe for a short trip.
FIAT 500L Sport 2021 – 1800 petrol
Not recommended.
RF = 8000-15.000 μW/m² MF = not recorded EF = not recorded
Comment You can not turn the powerful Bluetooth off. If there is a way to do it, it’s very well hidden. You can stay in this car only when everything is off.
RENAULT KANGOO – 2025 – 1600 Diesel (NEW!)
Not recommended.
RF = 400 – 20.000 μW/m² MF = 0,3 mG (0,9 at feet level) EF = 0,020 V
Comment Even if you set off the Bluetooth and the data transmission, when you get inside you receive peaks of 40.000 μW/m² every 40 seconds. As the engine is on, there is a constant RF emissions ranging from 400 to 1200 μW/m². When you switch off the engine you get peaks of 20.000 or 40.000 μW/m² until you open the door.

#Towers #Health #Netherlands #Winning #2020 The ruling of the Gelderland District Court (AWB 19/2184) – in conjunction with ruling AWB 19/2213 – on December 18, 2020 is of great importance because the judge rules that increased health risks (very well) below the exposure guidelines cannot be ruled out. The court also rules that the health interests of local residents who are sensitive to radiation must be taken into account in the weighing of interests. In Dutch case law, it is the first time that exposure limits are no longer leading due to advancing scientific insight.
#Towers #Health #Netherlands #Winning #2021 In the Central Netherlands District Court’s opinion, it cannot be ruled out that there are health risks associated with the presence of a transmission mast. In the opinion of the court, it is therefore not excluded that claimants will experience significant consequences from the transmission tower in the context of possible health risks. The court finds that claimants should at least be able to have a substantive discussion about this in the objection. https://www.stopumts.nl/doc.php/Juridische%20Informatie/12796/uitspraak_rechtbank_midden-nederland_bij_omgevingsvergunning_voor_het_realiseren_van_een_zendmast
#Towers #Health #Germany #Winning #2022 The German court clarified in the lawsuit that property owners who rent out premises for base stations and mobile towers assume responsibility for the health consequences of this activity. Although the radiation is lower than the relevant reference values from the authorities, this does not mean that the property owner is not responsible for the negative health consequences.

#SmartMeters #USA #Maine #Winning #2012 HEALTH, SAFETY, PRIVACY, PROPERTY RIGHTS, CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATION, DISCRIMINATION — A legal complaint objecting to multiple aspects of smart meters. Overview The court ruled that the Utilities company DID NOT adequately address health and safety concerns and now must do so. Bangor Daily News
Update6/4/15: After a 3 year PUC investigation into the health and safety of smart meters following the Supreme Court remand mentioned previously, the Commission ruled smart meters were basically safe enough. There was no vote held by the two commissioners and one of them recognized RF could probably cause adverse health effects and thought no cost opt outs [using a smart meter with transmitter disabled] should be available when suggested by a physician. Because the opinion made little sense and Central Maine Power never met their statutory burden to show safety was ensured with smart meters, opponents have appealed the decision, once more to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court. At this point, appellants brief has been filed, appellee’s brief is due June 30th and then opponents have 14 days to file a response. After this, oral arguments will be scheduled. More information and updates on the case can be found here.

#SmartMeters #Belgium #Flanders #Winning #2021 A number of people from VEHS Flanders and Beperk de Straling filed an appeal with the Constitutional Court to annul the mandatory installation of the wireless smart meter for electricity and gas. Constitutional Court keeps the installation of the wireless smart meter for electricity and gas mandatory but recognizes the right to a wired smart meter. In order to protect themselves from electromagnetic radiation, the Constitutional Court stated that any grid user can opt for wired communication instead of wireless communication. vehs.be/beroep-tegen-verplichte-draadloze-digitale-meter-ingediend/ vehs.be/grondwettelijk-hof-erkent-recht-op-een-bekabelde-digitale-meter/
#SmartMeters #Belgium #Flanders #Loss #2023 While the rollout of the wireless smart meter for electricity and gas has been accelerated in 2020 (80% of meters must be installed by the end of 2024), the availability of the wired meter has not. Thus, in this long transition period, an obligation applies without the availability of the wired alternative. For this reason, this accelerated rollout was appealed on 16 October 2020.
The court delayed this case until the ‘wired electricity meter’ was in available, i.e. until after 1 January 2023. In its ruling 256,712 of the Council of State (RvS) on 8 June 2023, this appeal was then dismissed because the applicants had no interest (anymore) in challenging the contested articles.
In the beginning of 2025, there still is no wired smart gas meter.
#SmartMeters #Belgium #Flanders #Winning #2022 Third appeal against mandatory smart meters for electricity and gas: Appeal on the non-binding installation of electronic meter without communication device. In the Energy Decree there was provided that an electronic meter without communication device could be installed when asked by the grid user, but the grid operator did not want to install this kind of meter. The Constitutional Court decided that the grid operator has the obligation to install this kind of meter on request of the grid user. Despite this, grid operator still refuses to install such meter.
#SmartMeters #Belgium #Flanders #Winning #2023 Appeal against wireless water meter. The court stated that the decree does not stipulate that the digital water meter should only communicate wirelessly and that, once wired meters are available, the Flemish government should provide the right to opt for a wired digital meter.
#SmartMeters #Belgium #Flanders #Dismissed #2024 Appeal against the remotely readable heat meter: the appeal was dismissed but the Council argues that the decree does not stipulate that wireless communication can be enforced. The Council concluded: after all, remote readability can just as easily be achieved via cabling, so the decree does not mandate wireless communication that exposes users to (additional) electromagnetic radiation, with all the disadvantages that this entails for maintaining and protecting a healthy environment. In practice, though, the heat meter is wireless as standard
#SmartMeters #Belgium #Flanders #InProcess #2025 A persistent refuser of a digital meter has been summoned and will therefore have to appear in court. The grid operator continues to pressure people to accept a wireless smart meter. https://vehs.be/zwicht-niet-voor-de-digitale-meter/
