A number of cell phone models have been measured in a Swiss study last year
(I and others reported on this list).  About other consumer products, we
should not only consider the differences among various models but also among
the types of products.  (Recently I heard that a cellphone salesman sold a
cellphone (to a housewife who was concerned about EMR) saying that the oven
in her kitchen produces more radiation than the cellphone and a MW oven!)

An easy-to-read overview with extensive tables comparing ranges of EMF levels
of household devices at various distances can be found at
