This R-package includes mainly data uploaded from my personal GQ EMF-390 meter device to measure EMF (Electromagnetic Field Radiation), EF (Electric Field Radiation) and RF (Radio Frequency Radiation).
You can read how harmful EMF can be for the human health in this article, for instance mentioned symptoms can be:
- sleep disturbances, including insomnia
- headache
- depression and depressive symptoms
- tiredness and fatigue
- dysesthesia (a painful, often itchy sensation)
- lack of concentration
- changes in memory
- dizziness
- irritability (among others)
If you want to go one step further you can read about microwave weapons that a few nations employ to negatively affect the human mind. Related to the latter is the Havana Syndrom which caused a disturbance worldwide.
The following visualization shows the measurements of the 3 radiation meters along time (I’ve added also my measurement location which is currently in Zografou, Athens, Greece). I’ve aggregated the data by day and I computed the mean and max value for each one of the variables:

The configuration is tested only on a Linux Machine and the installation requires the following steps:
- First download the .tar.gz file from https://gitlab.com/codref/em390cli
- Then extract the .tar.gz and rename the directory to em390cli
- Then make em390cli the default directory using
- cd /ADJUST_PATH_OF_YOUR_PC/em390cli
- Then build using cargo. If you don’t have cargo then install
it based on https://jeroen.github.io/erum2018/#7
- sudo apt-get install cargo
- cargo build
- Once build successfully an additional target directory will be
created which I’ll have to overwrite in the previously mentioned
emf390cli using:
- cp target/debug/emf390cli build/x86-linux/
- Then create a directory to save the output .csv files:
- cd
- mkdir /ADJUST_PATH_OF_YOUR_PC/DIR_SAVE_CSV
- Then download all data from the GQ_EMF_390 flash memory as
mentioned in the documentation
https://gitlab.com/codref/em390cli#retrieve-data-stored-inside-the-unit-memory
using (Make sure that the /dev/ttyUSB0 shortcut exists
after you connect your device and before executing the
following commands, so that the data can be saved to the .csv file):
- cd /ADJUST_PATH_OF_YOUR_PC/em390cli/build/x86-linux/
- sudo ./emf390cli -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -d /home/lampros/Desktop/GQ_EMF_390_Radiation_Detector/DIR_SAVE_CSV/todays_data.csv
- The data can be loaded in any programming languages using a .csv reader
