How can I get ELF radiation information on Apple products?
DISCUSSION Currently, it is Apple policy not to release this information unless there are extenuating circumstances (eg. a large bid on hold until ratings can be released under non-disclosure.) To date, ELF specific information has not been released to any customers. At this time there is no standard for measuring and reporting VLF/ELF emissions. Without standards the numbers are meaningless unless they are compared only with other monitors measured in the same manner. Apple is using a Combinova¿ meter for measuring EMI, and a Radians-inova¿ meter for measuring ELF/VLF. The results of this testing are kept within the engineering group. Apple is taking the ELF/VLF issue seriously and is promoting significant research to study it. Apple ensures that all of its products meet government regulations for the countries in which they are sold. A great deal of time and energy is being focused on the reduction of ELF/VLF emissions from our products, but at this time no product announcements have been made. Apple's official policy is that ELF/VLF emissions do not appear to pose a threat, and that additional studies need to be done. Relatively low cost test instruments are available for those who wish to do their own comparison testing. Holaday Industries, Inc. sells test equipment which will meausure ELF/VLF emmissions. In addition, they offer occasional seminars covering various aspects of VDT emissions related issues. For more information, search under "Holaday Industries". |
