Electromagnetic
Fields: A Consumers Guide to the Issues and How to Protect
Ourselves by
B. Blake Levitt,Harvest
Books / Harcourt Brace & Company. © 1995
If
our everyday existence is impossible to imagine without
electricity and communications, then it is also impossible
to imagine without electromagnetic fields. But recent
legal judgments support what some environmental activists
have long said: those ubiquitous fields can pose a serious
challenge to our health and environment as well as to
housing values and community development plans. This
eye-opening book – the most comprehensive resource
available to consumers today – explains why and
where electromagnetic fields (EMF’s) occur, which
illnesses may have a strong connection to them, and
why our doctors’ knowledge is limited.
In
a frank, balanced, and accessible manner, science writer
B. Blake Levitt, a former feature writer for The New
York Times, sorts through the complex social and medical
issues. From high-tension lines to radio towers, and
consumer products to government regulations, she explores
our ever-increasing electromagnetic environment and
shows us what we can do to live more safely within it.
This is essential reading for community planners and
all those concerned with personal and family health
and well being.
As
significant for Americans in the 21st Century as Rachel
Carson’s Silent Spring was in the 1960’s.

October 28, 2010 - Global News Report WiFi
Worries – From Ottawa a report on the Canadian
Parliament Health Committee hearing on WiFi in schools
– is it causing health problems for school children.
Audio

on Health – Impact of Microwaves on Human Health.
Renowned EMR researcher Martin Blank PhD of Columbia
University is one of the expert witnesses.

videos from the Safe Schools group in Canada. These
are news reports that have aired nationally in Canada
on CBC and CTV.
October
17, 2010 - Global News aired this special on WiFi in
Schools on 16:9
The Bigger Picture. It reports on Ontario students
in Mountain View School who have experienced health
problems since WiFi was installed throughout their school.
You
can't see it but it's everywhere. WiFi connects computers
to the internet, no cords required. Now kids are using
it in wireless classrooms across the country. But is
it an invisible danger? Carolyn Jarvis investigates
why some parents say WiFi in schools is making our kids
sick. She reports on the research of Professor
Magda Havas PhD.
In
stark contrast to Canadian (and US) public policy, see
also:
Report by Magda Havas on the Swiss Government’s
Internet For Schools program – the more computers
that you have on your wired LAN the higher the bandwidth
they provide. It’s an incentive to go wired.
To
help you understand the reasoning why Switzerland prefers
LAN (wired internet) over WiFi (wireless internet),
Prof. Havas has produced a short video that will provide
some insight as to why the Swiss government is so forward
thinking in matters related to the children’s
health and education when it involves internet access.
Her report also examines other household wireless devices.
Parents
of students at Mountain View School discuss illnesses
their children are experiencing since WiFi has been

Studies at Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario.
She is conducting primary research on the adverse effects
of electromagnetic fields and has published numerous
peer-reviewed papers in this area of the sciences. Feel

Broadcast Blues
Responding to a mandate from the Federal Communications
Commission to begin broadcasting digital television
signals by the fall of 1999, the affiliates of ABC,
CBS, NBC and PBS plan to put up a new HDTV tower on
residential Lookout Mountain, 2000 feet above the city
of Denver, Colorado. Residents on Lookout Mountain strongly
protest the new tower claiming there is evidence that
the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) levels on Lookout
Mountain are too high and pose a health threat. Lookout
Mountain already hosts 18 towers and more than 450 transmission
devices, making it the most complex electromagnetic
environment of any residential area in the United States.
"No problem," says the FCC, "the standards are acceptable
and the broadcasters are in compliance."
Across the country,
broadcasters are meeting resistance to their proposed
new HDTV transmitters from citizens concerned about
the health hazards of excessive EMR. How much is enough?
How much is too much? At one time, we asked the same
questions about asbestos, radon and tobacco.
Independent filmmaker
and Emmy award winner, Len Aitken, chronicled the Lookout
Mountain conflict in this one-hour documentary film,
Broadcast Blues.
