Re: Shielding for electromagnetic fields

[Art Perez <aperez@ucdavis.edu>]

Hello Mike,

We may use the mats to lower some fields in an office floor area that is
above three electrical transformers.  Although the field is fairly low
(150-200 mGauss) and there aren't any safety concerns, it is an area where
an administrative assistant sits for 40 hrs a week. We are not required to
do anything but we do want to explore all options.
