Measuring Power-Frequency Fields
Many people want to know how EMF readings in their home compare to fields found in other homes or workplaces. Knowing this may help you decide if your situation is unusual. Making measurements may help you develop some simple strategies to avoid some fields. Discusses what fields are, where they come from, comparisons of findings in various home and workplace settings, and a little about what is know about health risks. Useful reading for any gaussmeter user, but biased toward the idea that EMFs are not a problem. 1992

What Can We Conclude From Measurements of Power Frequency Fields?
In another attempt to calm fears about EMF exposure, "What Can We Conclude From Measurements of Power Frequency Fields?" explores the question: Is there a risk? Fairly strongly biased scientific arguments against EMF hazards. Ironically, the author states that based on his understanding, he has moved his computer further away, moved his son's bed away from the powerlines in the street, changed his bedside clock, and has done other EMF reducing maneuvers. 1993 |

Great Powerline Cover-Up
First he exposed the asbestos industry. Now Paul Brodeur reveals the dangers of high voltage and high current power lines and industry's attempts to cover them up. Tough and highly controversial, Paul Brodeur's book vividly documents EMF tragedies all across the nation-and exposes the massive cover-up undertaken by the electric utilities and their government allies. Brodeur focuses on a wide variety of cases-particularly those in which children are at risk; and shows how local, state, and federal officials have unscrupulously ignored the data, downplaying disease among school children, stifling scientific investigations, and hobbling the E.P.A. He concludes with incisive policy recommendations on ways to resolve the power-line health crisis. An in-depth follow-up to Currents of Death, on the growing body of evidence showing the harm caused by high voltage powerlines. Excellent documentation and abundant citations. 351 pp. 1993

FCC Bulletin 65
This bulletin, provides assistance in determining whether FCC-regulated transmitting facilities, operations and devices comply with limits adopted by the Commission in 1996 for human exposure to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields. One of the areas discussed in Bulletin 65 is compliance with the limits adopted by the Commission for safe exposure to RF emissions from mobile and portable devices, such as non-fixed wireless transmitters and hand-held cellular telephones.
Supplement C, entitled, "Additional Information for Evaluating Compliance of Mobile and Portable Devices with FCC Limits for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Emissions." is included which provides further guidance for use by applicants for FCC equipment authorization in evaluating these devices for compliance with RF safety limits. 84 pages 1997.

FCC Bulletin 56
This is an informative bulletin written as a result of increasing interest and concern of the public with respect to this issue. The expanding use of radiofrequency technology has resulted in speculation concerning the alleged "electromagnetic pollution" of the environment and the potential dangers of exposure to non-ionizing radiation. This publication is designed to provide factual information to the public by answering some of the most commonly asked questions such as What biological effects can be caused by radiation?, What are safe levels for exposure to radiofrequency/ microwave radiation?, How safe is the radiofrequency radiation emitted by radio and television broadcasting antennas? and much more. 38 pages, 1999.

NIST Report #3
Laboratory studies of electromagnetic (EM) signal propagation through construction materials were carried out as part of the NIST initiative. In this report, power attenuation aspects are discussed. The materials investigated included brick, masonry block, eight different concrete mixes, glass, plywood, lumber (spruce-pine-fir), drywall, reinforced concrete, steel reinforcing bar grids, variations of the plywood and lumber tests in which the specimens were soaked with water, and composite specimens involving brick-faced masonry block and brick-faced concrete. For each material, varying thickness specimens were fabricated in order to measure attenuation as a function of penetration distance. Measurements of power loss were taken at 2 MHz intervals from 0.5 to 2 GHz and from 3 to 8 GHz. Frequency power spectra were discretely generated for each material as a function of thickness. Excellent tables and graphical data. Extremely useful for predicting the shielding effectiveness of common building materials. 200 pages, 1997.

THE POWERWATCH HANDBOOK
Simple Ways To Make You And Your Family Safer
by Alasdair and Jean Philips
Are you keeping safe? Electrical wiring and appliances,
overhead power lines, machinery, photocopiers, mobiles and cordless telephones,
radio masts, TVs, tube trains, x-rays and laser beams are amongst the hundreds
of everyday items that are now known to give off high levels of microwave
radiation. Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can be biologically active and capable
of making changes to the structure of human and animal cells which are exposed
to them. Long-term exposure is believed by an increasing number of scientists
and environmentalists to be connected to tumors, fertility problems, behavior
and mood changes, concentration and memory loss, and also to affect melatonin
production and impair our immune system repair mechanisms. The Powerwatch
Handbook is a simple no-nonsense guide to EMFs and how to reduce their harmful
effect. Here is practical information on:
How to test for EMFs in the home
Star ratings for different items and products
Simple ways to reduce your exposure to high level pollution
Reduce the effect of telephones, mobiles, TV masts and other outside
sources
EMFs at work and in hospitals, dental surgeries and shops
How EMFs affect babies and young children
How to avoid becoming electrically sensitive
Information is presented in a practical, positive and lively way, in an
easy-to-follow handbook style. EMF levels are graded using a star rating system,
high level items are highlighted, and practical tips given in step-by-step,
bullet point form. 256 pages, 2006 |
