    This document summarizes typical magnetic field strengths of common household appliances at distances of 3 cm, 30 cm, and 1 m. It shows that most appliances have magnetic field strengths below 100 μT at a distance of 30 cm, which is the guideline limit for public exposure. It also provides information on typical maximum public exposures to electric and magnetic fields from various natural and man-made sources like power lines, trains, TVs and mobile phone base stations. Finally, it summarizes the exposure guidelines from the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) for power frequency, mobile phone frequencies and microwave oven frequencies.
