Using your cell phone in your car is a bit like sticking your head in the microwave oven when its turned on. It’s called the Faraday cage effect. But besides this, there are other issues. Emfs and cars, for practical advice read on.
Toyota And Renault And Electromagnetic Fields
I suppose the first thing that might come to mind on this subject is Toyota. The company has recently been in the news because of problems with the accelerator pedal which is said to jam on certain models and also break problems on Toyota Prius models.
Also a very high profile in France have been the problems with the Renault cars cruise control system. There have been numerous articles on this in the French press. Back in March 2005 the magazine L’Auto Journal collectors in 11 testimonials where owners of Renault cars had found themselves in the situation of being unable to stop their car due to a malfunction on the cruise control. Of course Renault refuted any such accusations that the cars in any way were dysfunctional. What is interesting to note is that subsequent to this Renault announced that it was building the biggest laboratory in the world to test their cars for EMFs disturbances.
Cars And Electromagnetic Fields An Internal Or External Problem?
For me it is absolutely crystal clear that there is an EMF issue in cars. I do not travel well and whenever I am in a car for long period of time my EMF symptoms begin to take hold.
The real problem may well come from sources external to the cars, cell phones. Well not just cell phones but cell phone transmitters, WiFi, overhead power lines etc. Though cell phones may well increasingly become the problem because more and more people have them and they emit more and more electromagnetic radiation.
So whats the best advice I can give you on this subject, well it’s not to say don’t buy a Toyota or a Renault, because I think pretty much all modern cars are subject to this phenomena. The more time goes by, the more electronics are in the cars and the more internal and external sources of EMFs disturbance exist.
There is a great little website called ahappyhabit.com which deals with the issue of EMFs in cars and even gives a small analysis of EMF transmissions on certain models. Really the best advice is to purchase a gauss meter. A gauss meter will enable you to measure the electromagnetic fields in your car and indeed in your home.

So you see Emfs and cars dont mix well. What do you think?

Hi Frances
Apologies, I have now included the link on this so that you can find it.
Let me know if you have any other questions or feedback.

Bluetooth What You Will Learn Nowhere Else – Is It Really Dangerous? | electricsense.com said,
[...] Yes, they use pulsed radio frequencies. The frequency power of wireless headsets is the same as that of microwave ovens, which also operate at 2.4 GHz, though admittedly microwave ovens use much higher power levels. However Bluetooth headsets are dangerous because they are held within centimeters of the brain and they are used in conjunction with a cell phone. So you’re getting double exposure. If you use Bluetooth in a car the effects are multiplied due to the Faraday cage effect. [...]
