In buying a house we are familiar with valuations, surveyors reports and structural surveys. Yet it is important too to give some focus to the day-to-day environmental aspects of the place, for example air quality and noise pollution. An EMF survey is also desirable, from the point of view of long-term well-being, not to mention actual human flourishing. I commissioned such a survey from Kristy Guest of Harmonising Horizons to see if I would proceed with a deal or just walk away. In the report itself (also provided as a hard copy) there was a useful background piece on EMFs, summarising their importance and pointing to the biological safety limits. Then she turned to the property in question. What followed was thorough and methodical, and striking a balance between clarity and detail. Not surprisingly a professional picked up on things I was not really thinking of, despite me being relatively up on the subject. Key Radio Frequency and Extremely Low Frequency readings were taken, but additional issues appeared – a significant ‘dirty electricity’ problem, stray current coming into the property, wireless radiation ingress from a passing vehicle, and, most unexpected of all (to me), the presence of a radar signal, even inside the house. Nearby wind turbines and an LED street light were noted. Of course acquiring a house is more or less one big compromise, and there are measures you can take to lessen the level of electropollution. However, these need to be weighed against practicality and expense. I was now in a position to make an informed choice, and in fact judged the place to be too uphill a project, given my circumstances. Also I did not want to start of with a fortress mentality in what was supposed to be my home. Eminently reasonable in terms of price, Kristy’s survey has indeed been money well spent.
