This caught my eye too. I wouldn't have expected dosimeters to detect 
anything from EMF radiation (except, maybe, gamma rays).

Yes, I'd like to see what reputable sources say on this.



I'm deeply skeptical, but I won't rule out 100% that mild EMF can have 
biological effects, perhaps due to the modulation.

But I like the analogy of low level non-ionizing EMF can cause 
biological damage like the warmth of a furnace vent can cause burns: 
it's not that accumulative.  At least, that's my understanding.


Interesting topic.
