Concerns over the Electromagnetic Radiation in hybrid cars

Greetings all,I'm calling out to you for your personal experiences/observations/feedback about driving a hybrid car, and exposing yourselves toElectromagnetic radiation (EMR) within the cabin of the car.Has anyone taken a reading and gotten a Gauss or Tesla measurement?My prime concern is that Toyota and Honda consider the EMR readingclassified information. As hard as I have tried, they would notdivulge this information, as such, I gave up my quest for a hybrid,and bought a standard ICE car.EMR is not something to take lightly. We've all experienced first handwhen we watch TV too closely for too long, or worked behind a CRTcomputer monitor for too long. The long term health effects are notknown, but the symptoms are real. These range from standard fatigue toextreme mood swings to cancer.Based on symptoms alone, a two hour continuous drive in a Prius isequivalent to working behind a CRT computer monitor for 24hrsstraight. For the Honda Civic it is 4 hours because the main powerline runs under the passenger seat rather than the driver's seat inthe Prius.It is very unfortunate that hybrids are being pushed hard into themarket when little is known about EMR. Only recently science arefinding Cell Phones are causing an increase in brain cancer, andscience is still on the fence about homes built near power lines,which really unfortunately does not help those victims of leukemia.Mood swings is the most visible symptom of EMR exposure. And havingEMR exposure while drive would only help drive up the incidences ofroad rage.Just my 2 cents.Concerned and green citizen of this earth.
