Living near Power Lines - should I use EMF Paint to shield my home?

I have measured around 5mGauss of EMF inside my home from a nearby high power line. I've read about EMF Paints such as CuPro-Cote and Y-shield that can create an EMF shield. Before spending hundreds on this paint, does anyone know if it works? Are their any other ways to shield your home/family from EMF?Living near Power Lines - should I use EMF Paint to shield my home?
There's no need to bother. It doesn't hurt you. If it did, a lot of engineering researchers, including me, would have had lucrative positions eliminating it. Do a google search on John Moulder, a serious researcher in the field.





The only way to truly shield a space from all radio waves is to build it out of metal sheeting or very fine copper screen. You can't afford it. We use shielded rooms to evaluate the noise sensitivity of electronic equipment, and they're lined with a continous barrier with soldered seams, and an exceedingly elaborate door with multiple copper gaskets. There's no paint that'll come close to doing the job, as you'll discover when you find that a radio works just fine inside a house painted with your CuPro-Cote.





For heaven's sake, please find something else to worry about. Someone is trying to make you crazy over nothing.Living near Power Lines - should I use EMF Paint to shield my home?
The EMF you get from power lines is really a magnetic field at 60Hz. Even if you lived inside a house completely covered by metal foil, the magnetic field would still get inside the house. Faraday shields don't work very well for shielding magnetic component of 60Hz EMF.





Picture this: A compass inside a box that is made of screen or wire mesh. You bring a magnet near the box, and the compass will be disturbed. If you rotate the magnet 60 times a second, you can get the compass to spin at the same rate. Conductive shields don't work for shielding low frequency magnetic fields. The only thing that works is ';mu-metal';, and it is not practical to shield your house with this stuff.





If I were you, I would move. Pesonally, I believe that sleeping next to a strong source of 60Hz magnetic field for 5 years (an ac clock motor) made me go permanently deaf on one side. Also, there is epidemiological evidence that links childhood leukemia with EMF exposure. See the link below.
hi are you sure the tower is the sole cause....


Check around your home , check the power fuse breakers ... all wiring and all electrical outlets.... You may find you have problems inside your house...


Further more... If you pant the house with the paint will it really stop the radio waves entering yout home.. I think not... unless you pain the windows roof doors etc.


The prmary use of the paint is to sheild the interior rooms from EMF coming from the homes wiring.


Hope this helps
Since you have a way to measure EMF, why don't you build a drywall box, say 3' cube, measure the EMF, paint the inside and measure again?





I looked at a few websites and they looked a little shady. But it looks like you can do the experiment for less than $50.
I don't see how it can work, but as one of the other answers said, try it out.





When you made those measurements, did you turn off all the power to your house first? Possibly that is at least part of what you are reading.
well , if it;snot expensive then use it , else the company which made it is probably telling u it's just amazing , won't they?
