Kathleen Deoul: You know it's not just your home you have to be concerned about. If you work outside the home, it is likely that you are going to be around computers and copiers and printers and faxes, all of which also put out electromagnetic fields.

Copulos: That's right, Kathleen. What makes office equipment even more of a potential hazard than home appliances is that you might be in close proximity to them for a longer period of time. For example a typical copier puts out 200 gauss at six inches and 40 gauss at one foot. It you're copying a large number of documents, it is possible that you would remain within the one foot range for an extended period of time, so duration of exposure would become a concern. Similarly, although a computer monitor's magnetic field drops from 20 gauss at six inches to 6 gauss at two feet, the length of exposure is likely to be six to eight hours per day.

Kathleen Deoul: What about lighting. Don't fluorescent lights also pose a hazard?
Copulos: That's absolutely right, Kathleen. At a distance of four feet - roughly equal from the ceiling to the top of your head if you are seated in a room with a standard ceiling - you would be constantly exposed to 4 gauss. This fact also gets to the more fundamental problem. If, for example, you are in an office cubicle with fluorescent lighting, you are being exposed to magnetic fields from several sources. The lights, your computer monitor, your computer, a desktop fax if you have one, even your telephone all will be putting out some level of magnetic field.

Kathleen Deoul: So what can you do to protect yourself? You mentioned three elements, time distance and shielding. What about shielding?

Copulos: I'm glad you asked that Kathleen. Unlike ionizing radiation which can be stopped by various types of shields, magnetic fields are not stopped by concrete, aluminum, drywall, or for that matter computer screen shields.

Kathleen Deoul: That doesn't sound very good.

Copulos: No it doesn't. Fortunately, there are things you can do.

Kathleen Deoul: Why don't we go over them?
