SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on measuring electromagnetic fields (EMF) and radiation emitted from utility power lines. Key resources include the Wikipedia article on electromagnetic radiation and health, and the IEEE 644-1994 standard, which outlines measurement techniques for magnetic fields from AC power lines. While the standard may be outdated, the measurement techniques remain relevant for auditing safety and assessing radiation levels. Users are advised to consult these resources for accurate methodologies.
