John, are you sure they aren't talking about AC fields (particularly
60 Hz)? One microtesla is 10 milligauss; considering that the
earth's magnetic field is of the order of several hundred milligauss,
it's hard to see how the average household magnetic field would be
less than .1 microtesla ( = 1 milligauss).
