Oreck XL Professional Air Purifier

I have an Oreck XL professional air pruifier. I love what this unit has done for the air quality in my home. I also own a gauss meter (Trifield Meter Model 100XE) which is designed to alert you to your level of environmental exposure to electromagnetic fields. Since the XL uses electrostatic action to clean the air, it generates a pretty strong EMF field. There are a whole variety of symptoms related to EMF exposure, none of them good, so when dealing with a device like the Oreck XL, it would be wise to take some precautions.
Here are the readings I got.
At 6 inches from the unit - 500 volts/meter AC electric field / 50 milligauss AC magnetic field
At one foot from the unit - 20 volts/meter AC electric field / 25 milligauss AC magnetic field
At two feet from the unit - 0 volts/meter AC electric field / 5 milligauss AC magnetic field
At three feet from the unit - - / 1.7 milligauss AC magnetic field
At four feet from the unit - - / .8 milligauss AC magnetic field
At five feet from the unit - - / 0.4 milligauss AC magnetic field
At six feet from the unit - - 0 -

The following is written on the back of my meter:
"HAZARD THRESHOLDS
Absolute hazard thresholds have not been established. Studies suggest biological effects may begin to occour near 3 miligauss of AC magnetic field, 1 kilovolt/m of AC electric feild. "

So basically you want to place your Oreck XL at least 3 feet away, preferably 6 feet or more away from any people or pets (better to walk past it from time to time than sit next to it). I have heard of someone putting one of these units on their bedside table. Obviously, based on this data, that is not such a good idea.
I hope this review helps you get the most health benefits from this great product.
