EMF
(electromagnetic field detectors)
National
Academy of Sciences - National Research Council, report, or press release, --
no danger,
National
Council on Radiation Protection, -- danger -- or maybe not,
National
EMF Advisory Committee, calls for Continued Research on Electric and Magnetic
Field Health Effects, -- danger, "We take this action because, after perusal
of the pre-publication NAS/NRC report released October 31, 1996, we conclude that
neither the press release nor the Executive Summary of the report adequately reflects
the conclusions to be found in the body of the report. ... Contrary to reports
in the popular press. the NAS/NRC report does not state that extremely low magnetic
fields are safe. Rather, the report concludes that there is an unexplained, but
statistically reliable and robust association between power transmission and distribution
systems and childhood cancer and that continued research is necessary."
