Room and Amenities Description:



RELEVANT TO RF and EMFs:



Your shielded and furnished room is on the 2nd floor in the home of a woman with Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome (EHS). So, there is absolutely nothing wireless in the home.



Grounded Y-Shield paint shields the walls and door of your room from outside RF. Metal screens and metal blinds shield the windows. The floor is shielded with Y-Shield paint on the ceiling in the room below you. When measuring RFs with Cornet Electrosmog Meter (up to 8 GHz range), the room usually does not get above .0006 mW/m2, and .0154 V/M, and is usually lower.



Your bed is a futon with no metal springs, organic cotton pillow and sheets. The bed frame is wooden.

Only incandescent lights are used in the home, and there are no electronics plugged in when not in use.



Electricity to the upstairs is shut off at bedtime by whomever is last into bed - earlier if you’d like. The room is quite bright during the day, so you may turn off the electric during the day if you want to. The upstairs circuit breakers are usually off day and night when there is nobody renting the room, so no need to have electric up there if you don’t want it.
