Kathleen Deoul: What are some other problem areas in the home?

Copulos: One of the most dangerous small appliances is your hair dryer.

Kathleen Deoul: My hair dryer?

Copulos: That's right, Kathleen. Here is one case where the distance principal is extremely important because of the way people typically use a hair dryer. As a rule, it is held relatively close to the head - say six inches away. The trouble is that at six inches, a hair dryer's magnetic field can be as high as 700 gauss! At one foot it drops to 70 gauss and at 4 feet to 1 gauss. The only other household appliance that emits such a strong electromagnetic field is your vacuum cleaner, which also is rated at 700 gauss at 6 inches, but it is unlikely you would ever be that close to a vacuum.

Kathleen Deoul: I think I'm going to have to let my hair air dry from now on, or buy a wig! But what about microwave ovens? Don't they also have high emissions?

Copulos: Yes, Kathleen, microwave ovens are another danger spot. Especially since their field tends to be larger than most. At 6 inches a microwave oven puts out a magnetic field of 300 gauss. At one foot, however, it still is 200 gauss. Your washing machine, too, has a strong electromagnetic field close up. At six inches it would average 100 gauss and at one foot 30. The key, with all of these common household appliances, of course, is to keep some distance away when they are operating;

Kathleen Deoul: It also sounds like it would be a good idea to fold your clothes in another room if the washing machine was operating.

Copulos: That's a great idea Kathleen.
