Welcome to the EMF-L Archives.

EMF-L is a mailing list moderated by Roy Beavers, the EMF Guru. You can join it, or find out more about Roy by visiting his site, at: http://www.emfguru.com/

Your moderator (EMFguru) is a non-technical person, but he is a professional communicator (retired) with many years of experience in the electrical utility industry. He also has worked in military intelligence, nuclear weapons, was a part of the United States' Strategic Arms Talks team (SALT I). He has a bachelors degree from the U. of Missouri and a masters from the U. of Maryland. He has published a great deal and is listed in Who's Who In The World and in Who's Who In America.

He first heard about EMF when he was in the military during the 1960s-70s but it did not register of much consequence at the time. The subject caught his attention in a big way in the latter half of the 1980's when he was working as a lobbyist for the electrical utility industry. A major EMF court case in Houston, Texas (Klein School District v. Houston Light and Power) was decided by the courts during the 1985-1989 period (including judicial review). The outcome of this case--which found Houston Power liable for damages and required them to move their transmission lines away from a school--caused the U.S. electrical utility industry literally to go to "general quarters." (G.Q.--a good navy term which means "all hands to their battle stations.")

At the time, EMFguru was working in public relations and as a lobbyist within the electrical utility industry. He saw the industry's reaction to the EMF threat from the inside. During the 1980's, like most everyone else in the industry, he got his information from industry sources. It was "filtered" by trade associations, industry "experts" (mostly lawyers and electrical engineers), and particularly by EPRI!

Here Roy and others address findings from Sir Richard Doll's famous tobacco epidemiology that indicates we should EXPECT to see ORs of around 2 for EMF. The Ugly Secret Also by Roy Beavers. The Epidemiology is misleading us, because there are no unexposed people to use as controls in studies, the Odds Ratios are leveling off towards 2, like comparing heavy against light smokers.
