Highly recommended!

The Safe & Sound EM3 meter is a great meter for measuring magnetic fields, electric fields and body voltage. It’s one of the meters we recommend that our clients purchase to keep tabs on their exposure.
This is the meter you want to investigate if you have any wiring errors or anomalies in your bedroom or other frequented parts of your home or if you’re in close proximity to transmission lines.
We highly recommend this meter.
