Measure Wireless Radiation Levels in Your Home: EMF Meters Available to U.S. Libraries Through EHT’s EMF Meter Grant Program

Nov 25, 2024

Mission Statement

Environmental Health Trust’s electromagnetic field meter (“EMF”) grant program is designed to equip public libraries across the U.S. with affordable, high-quality, accurate EMF meters. Our goal is to eliminate financial barriers for those seeking to obtain critical data about radiofrequency radiation (“wireless radiation”) exposure levels in their home and around their community. Access to such data empowers individuals to identify problematic sources of wireless radiation emissions so they may take appropriate action to mitigate such exposures. 

Grant Program Budget Information: EHT has allocated $5,000 toward the EMF Meter Grant Program to purchase EMF meters for U.S. public libraries between November 2024 and November 2025. EHT’s grant will cover 50 percent of the cost of the meter purchased by the library from Safe Living Technologies.

Criteria to qualify for the EHT EMF Meter Grant Program

  • Only public libraries in the U.S. are eligible to apply for a subsidized EMF meter through EHT’s EMF Meter Grant Program.
  • U.S. public libraries seeking to obtain an EMF meter that 1) already have two EMF meters available for patrons to check out and 2) serve fewer than 5,000 patrons are ineligible for EHT’s EMF Meter Grant Program. 
  • If a public library representative reaches out to EHT (via email, social media, or via any other channel of communication) to obtain a meter on behalf of the library, he/she must first fill out this informational survey.
  • All U.S. public libraries that EHT works with to obtain an EMF meter must complete and submit this basic performance report every six months. The purpose of the report is to help the EHT team evaluate the overall success of the program.

FAQs

Why is my library receiving an EMF meter?

Your U.S.-based public library is receiving a meter because a library representative contacted our organization for financial assistance to acquire an EMF meter for its patrons.

Who should I speak to learn more about which EMF meter is right for me?

Connect with one of Safe Living Technologies’ electromagnetic radiation specialists to determine which meter is best suited for your needs. You can contact Safe Living Technologies here.

Is there published science about the adverse health and environmental effects of EMFs?

Yes. Lots. To review some of the peer-reviewed, independent scientific literature on the adverse health effects associated with exposure to electromagnetic fields (specifically, wireless radiation), click here. To visit our new website about the environmental harms of wireless radiation, click here.

If I identify high levels of electromagnetic radiation in my home, what can I do to reduce my exposures?

First and foremost, do not freak out! You will be happy to know that there are lots of easy and cheap ways to significantly reduce you and your family’s exposures to hazardous electromagnetic fields. Check out EHT’s sister website, “Healthy Tech at Home Project,” for in-depth, expert guidance.

Can an EHT representative give a presentation to my community about wireless radiation health and environmental risks? More people need to know about this issue!

Yes! Absolutely. Please email info@ehtrust.org if you’d like to set up a time for an EHT representative to present either in-person, or via Zoom, to your community.

How do I stay connected with EHT?

There are lots of ways to educate yourself about the responsible placement of wireless telecommunications infrastructure and how to stay safe in an increasingly wireless world.

Libraries With EMF Meters

Knowing what the wireless radiation levels in your home are, and knowing where such emissions are coming from, will enable you to make adjustments to reduce you and your family’s exposure.
