Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 I wonder how you get a reading? I'm sure being around alot of electricity all the time isn't good. I looked through greennest.com site and didn't see anything about how to get a reading of how 'charged' we are, or our environment.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 There may not be a way to get an accurate reading. It's possible that some of us are sensitive to very small amounts of electricity. Also the environment may be 'charged' at a level that is considered 'normal', the same way that the level of some other things that affect us, are considered 'normal'. To some of us this 'normal' is too much. > > > > I wonder if there is too much electricity in the air in my > apartment. > > At times I can't sit still.
