I am planning a bathroom renovation and thought than underfloor heating in winter would be nice.<\/p>\n
I found two local websites for underfloor heating and both claim to have “no EMR”. This would be expected, even with a design optimised to radiate at 50 Hz, as the size of the antenna is limited by the size of the bathroom.<\/p>\n

Like suburban power lines, the underfloor heating elements would not produce much radiation at all. A claim to protect against dragons and flying pigs would be equally relevant.<\/p>\n
Electromagnetic fields are another matter. The current through the heater produces the magnetic field, and for a 250W heater this is about 1 A, a relatively small current. The electric field strength relates to the voltage (240 V) and would be attenuated by the floor covering, particularly when it is moist or wet.<\/p>\n
Its surprising how many times people get confused between electromagnetic radiation and electromagnetic fields.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Claims that underfloor heating produce no electrmagnetic radiation are spurious, as there is no appreciable radiation with an antenna the size of a room. Electromagnetic fields – electric and magnetic are another matter, but it is likely only magnetic fields at 50Hz would be an issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[157,155,154,156,153,158],"class_list":["post-848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-radiation","tag-electric-fields","tag-electromagnetic-felids","tag-emr","tag-magneric-feidks","tag-readiatio","tag-under-floor-heating","czr-hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
