I found some information about EMF in the Insight:

Hot_Georgia_2004,

I think it isn't more than fair to take peoples fears seriously until it is 100 % proven that whatever it is, is not harmful to human beings. I suggest you use your energy to try to get the facts instead of ironising.

jhj,

Take a look at the test results. The Volvo S80 Original had significantly higher magnetic fields. When this was noticed by media, Volvo offered a free retrofitting (one extra cable is all that was needed in this case). See the new values in the "Volvo S80 ombyggd" column. I found out that mikrotesla translates directly to milligauss, which means that compared even to the original Volvo S80, the values in your car are very high with 100 milligauss around the ankles.
