Electrical Fields in everyday life

[standardflop]

Hello,

I'd like some ideas where to look in solving these two questions:

1) Are You presently sitting in an Electrical field? If yes, what's the size of the E-field?

2)A environmental requirement states that children arent supposed to stay in areas with electrical fields that exceed 600 V/m. Does this seem reasonable?

.. 1: I know that electronics produce E-fields, but how do i assess the size of the field produced by i.e. my monitor?
.. 2: What exactly is the danger about walking around in E-fields? Cancer? And is the limit reasonable?

1) To answer the first question, the best resources to consult are scientific studies on the E-fields produced by various types of electronics. You can find these studies online by searching for "electromagnetic fields produced by electronics" or by asking a physicist for advice. Additionally, if you have a particular electronic device that you would like to measure the E-field size of, you can purchase an EMF meter which will allow you to easily measure the E-field size of any electronics. 2) There is evidence that suggests that prolonged exposure to E-fields can be harmful to human health. Therefore, it is important to limit exposure to E-fields. The 600 V/m limit is based on research and may be considered reasonable depending on the context of the environment. However, it is important to note that the exact limit may vary depending on the situation, so it is best to consult a professional for advice.
