Our radio technology already had in the 70s radio receivers with  a 
sensitivity of 0.5 microvolt  out of a FM antenna coil on a printed 
circuit board with about 4 cm^2
we can measure much less  today 
but the environmental EM "noise" in North American cities is already 
in the high microwatts as I have pointed out long ago.

The argument is not 
how sensitive and complex  the measuring devices are or could/should 
be BUT HOW MUCH EXPOSURE REGULATIONS  ALLOW

the Schnaitsee Barnyard problem in Germany 
with a measurement of 1000nW = 1 microW
where one cow dropped dead of coronary failure 
as established by the post mortem proves that  the allowed  limits 
( about 300 times higher than the measurement) are absolutely 
arbitrarily set . ( BTW it is notable that the measurment was given 
in nanoWatts - so somebody there thinks this is the range to be 
measured !!

With what we know today from
 microwave research , epidemiological reserach,
 and direct laboratory experiments
 permanent exposure limits should be in the nanoWatt range
 -  not the milliwatt range - 
 a difference  of 1 to a Million!!!

If more jurisdictions  like the Wollogon Council in Australia
would adopt such reduced limits industry and "bureaucracies"
would be forced  to properly address the issue...

In Canada the possession of a traffic Radar detector is illegal
if the use of those EMF detectors gets wide spread
we may perhaps see a move to hve them "outlawed" too.........

My neighbour John Evans has promoted the best remedy:
bombarding our politicians and "experts" with all the negative 
evidence until they do their job -
