I have many household appliances that all emit electromagnetic radiations (E.M.R), based on all the research, intelligence and knowledge I have gained, I think these household items will be at harmful levels which is over 2.5 milligauss (According to the Environmental Protection Agency).

I used information from the following websites:

I learned that

• E.M.R has a bigger effect on children than adults leading to illnesses such as blood disorder, headache, cancer and so on.
• E.M.R fields consist of invisible electric and magnetic forces that emit radiation, which takes the form of waves. 
• The human body and the earth itself create EMFs, but these are very low-level. However, many recent technologies create artificial EMFs. These are much more powerful and dangerous.
•  You are exposed to 100 million times more EMFs than your grandparents were. That’s because  of appliances, cell phones, wireless Internet, high-voltage wires and more.

• Light can be broken into different types, Infrared, Microwave, Radio, Ultraviolet, X-ray, and Gamma rays, altogether, they are called The Electromagnetic Spectrum. 
• Gamma rays have the most speed while Radio rays have the least.

• Electromagnetism refers to the interaction between Electricity and Magnetism.
• It is one of the four fundamental interactions of nature around us. 
• The movement of electrons is referred to as Electricity. 
• A moving Electric charge creates a magnetic field, likewise, a changing magnetic field creates an Electric field.

• We must minimize time in front of E.M.R sources.
• We must maximize distance from the E.M.R source.
• We must use shielding against E.M.F which are above harmful levels.

Independent Variable (will change): 

Different appliances and electronic gadgets.

Dependent Variable (change I will measure): 

The intensity of E.M.R in mG (milligauss).

Controlled Variable (will not be changed): 

The distance from each appliance and electronic gadget from the E.M.R detector (2, 5, 10, and 15 cm).

1. I made a list of appliances and electronic gadgets that need to be tested for E.M.R.
2. I used the EMR detector to obtain data when the appliances and electronic gadgets were in use; At the distance of  2, 5, 10, and 15 cm respectively.
3. I entered my data into a table.
4. I analyzed my data for harmful and unharmful levels using E.P.A guidelines.
5. I compared my results and tables with my hypothesis and concluded the project.

I observed that most of the readings were at harmful levels which can lead to mental and physical illnesses. We should minimize time in front of these sources and maximize distance from them.

I took readings from 12 household appliances and electronic gadgets. After the readings are taken at 2, 5, 10, and 15 cm, I compared each reading for harmful and unharmful levels based on guidelines from the Environmental Protection Agency (which is 2.5 milligauss).

• My research did support my hypothesis as most of the readings on my table were at harmful levels i.e, above 2.5 mG.
• In the case of electronic gadgets, although most of the readings were at harmless levels, prolong skintouch can lead to absorbing severe E.M.Rs.
• The kitchen is a hotspot for E.M.R as there are many appliances in that area, but other rooms are affected too.

• We can perform some simple steps to avoid E.M.Rs at home.

1. Use corded phones instead of cordless phones.
2. Use the dishwasher at night so that you will not be near it most of the time.
3. When using a microwave or oven, keep a distance of at least 6 feet.
4. Use hands free option on cell phones to avoid excessive E.M.Rs.
5. Do not use laptops or ipads on your lap to avoid the absorption of E.M.Rs in your skin.
6. Turn off your Wifi router when not in use, particularly before bedtime.
7. Keep your cell phone on airplane mode while sleeping to avoid E.M.Rs.
8. Make a safehouse which is made of materials that can shield you from E.M.Rs.

What could have caused errors is if the distance from each appliance and gadget is wrong, what could have also caused errors is if the E.M.R detector is broken.

I would like to acknowledge my parents for helping me with supplies and Mrs. Khan, my science teacher, for understanding if I needed more time for the project.
