Body AC Electric Voltage Safety Standards
This applies to AC voltage, not DC voltage.
"We consider levels below 100 milliVolts to be safe, and I have found that the average healthy person starts to notice that sleep is more disturbed and agitated starting at around 200-300 mV. The average bedroom, on the other hand, has 1,000 to 1,500 mV and up."

"In nature – for example outside under trees, at the beach, or anywhere far away from electrical sources – the body voltage measurement is usually zero (0.0 AC Volts). For millions of years before the invention of electricity, the body voltage measurement was almost always zero Volts AC.
Today, the typical home has body voltage levels varying from 0.1 to 5.0 Volts or more, depending on the exact location and the position of the person being tested. The average level in homes across the USA is probably between 0.5 and 2.0 Volts.
Anecdotally, a level of 1.0 Volt or higher is definitely enough to trigger “symptoms” in many sensitive people, and most will report symptoms at even lower levels. In my work, I find that for people who are sensitive to electric fields, I usually need to reduce the levels to 0.1 Volt or less to significantly reduce their complaints...
In my professional work, I generally try to reduce people’s long-term exposures down to 0.5 volt or less. In the bedrooms, I usually try to reduce the bed locations to 0.1 volt or less, since sleep is such a critical time for the body’s rest and rejuvenation.
For individuals who are hypersensitive to EMFs or have a severe illness, cancer, chronic fatigue, chemical sensitivity, poor immune function, etc., I generally try to reduce all long-term exposures down to the 0.1 Volt level." www.emfinfo.org/make-bv-meter.html
