Exposure Details

Magnetic Field: 2 gauss
Electric Field: 20 volts per meter V/m
Exposure Duration: 48 hours for fruit fly study, 5 days for fruit fly study, 2 hours/day for 30 days for some studies

Exposure Context

This study used 20 volts per meter V/m for electric fields:

66.7x above the Building Biology guideline of 0.3 V/m

This study used 2 gauss for magnetic fields:

10x above the Building Biology guideline of 0.2 mG
2x above the BioInitiative Report recommendation of 1 mG

Building Biology guidelines are practitioner-based limits from real-world assessments. BioInitiative Report recommendations are based on peer-reviewed science. Check Your Exposure to compare your own measurements.
