Constant EMF reading = faulty wiring?

[Guest guest]

Hi again,

I am posting another question separately for the sake of clarity -

hope that's OK.

I got a trifield meter to check out the house and I was surprised to

see that there is a 'hot spot' at the couch where we watch TV. It is

highest at the floor, where it reaches 3 milligauss when the TV and

lights are on (one and a half milligauss on the couch). There is a

constant reading of 1 milligauss at the floor when all lights and

appliances are switched off.

My husband says there is an electrical box under the floor there

(great). There is also a plug in the wall which has a constant

reading of 2 milligauss (with nothing plugged into it). I also get a

high electrical reading of 100 volts/meter about a foot away from a

dimmer switch near the couch (when it is on). I don't get any

significant electrical readings near any other dimmer switches.

Does this sound like some faulty wiring? Could it be harmful to be

sitting in a field of 2-3 milligauss for long periods of time?

It is feeling increasingly uncomfortable to me but I don't know what

to do about it except not watch TV (we don't have much room to

manoeuver the furniture).

Thanks again for any pearls of wisdom you may have.

Aline
