A member asked:
Do wireless cardiac event monitors, worn several weeks(where the results go directly to a central monitoring center) emit a lot a emf radiation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The monitors do not: emit any appreciable EMF radiation at all. You get much more exposure from cell phones. Background EMF from living in a city is considerably more than the monitor will be emitting.
