..............From EMF-L.......

This short question and answer is being forwarded to the entire list because it is a
frequent
kind of question that we do receive........  It should be emphasized (as stated below),
that
every situation is different and thus not readily answerable without actual EMF/EMR
readings having been taken......  Still, we do not want to become known as "alarmists"
who frighten people in ordinary ("safe") situations......guru answers question below......

BD Davis:

It is not possible to answer your question without actually taking readings at the
scene.  There may even be other sources (other than the A/C unit) that could
be more serious........  And, I do not have any idea what protection the qualities of
"Texas stone" (sandstone??) might provide......

Assuming the A/C unit is not exceptionally large (more than about 2 or 2 1/2 tons),
and assuming that everything is "grounded" with a return to the power source circuit
(rather than to the "ground" around the house -- or to a "line" that would carry it back
into the house), your parents' situation is probably OK.........  It would not hurt for
you
to take some actual EMF measurements on the scene.

If you obtain readings of more than 2 or 3 milligauss in the bedroom -- than some
more action should probably be taken.  Possibly, it would be enough to move the head
of the bed.

If you will check-out the kitchen (electric oven or microwave unit) you may find that
you have more problems there than in the bedroom.....  Also, check around the meter
that brings the electricity "power delivery" into the house....  Be sure that no children
are sleeping near that circuit-breaker box or the actual "drop" connection into the
house.....

Cheerio......
