Case Study - Sam 2006

Sam was concerned about electromagnetic radiation in her home.

Recommendations

EKO Building Biology tested Sam’s home with a gauss meter and found the levels in all rooms to be at or below building biology recommendations. Electrical fields however did exceed recommended levels especially in the master bedroom where the bed was made predominately of metal and a clock radio sat close to the head of one of the sleeping occupants. We recommended that Sam remove the clock radio to a safe distance and ground her bed to reduce electrical fields. Sam was also concerned about her water quality as the water was a rusty colour; we made recommendations on what water filter would best suit her needs and budget.

 

Sam’s Response

“I appreciated the recommendations and the piece of mind given by Nicole and it feels like we are sleeping easier and my husband gets less headaches; and I love the taste of my filtered water; wouldn’t go back to tap water.”
