EMF electro Magnetic Fields

[RobertJay]

Has anybody done research / checked the Leaf to see if we are getting exposed to unsafe levels of EM energy

That's a bit of a loaded question as there is no commonly recognized level that has been conclusively determined to be "unsafe".

I would naturally expect there to be measurable fields inside the car that are higher than background levels. I'm also vaguely curious what that number is.

There's a long thread on this already including some in-car measurements. There isn't enough data to definitively show a problem from EMF. That's good, because it means that if there is a problem, it's very small compared to other risks that come with just being alive.

Here's the thread. Not much above background levels...

Ham Radio has EMF radiation standards for harmful levels of exposure, usually around antennas.

Distance (usually squared) is a big factor, so a cell-phone, held next to your head, is probably "high" exposure. I expect that there ARE some safety standards there.
