Hi Ed and everybody:
I had previously received the request below from Professor Lopez.....
........As I had earlier advised Professor Lopez, I have a problem
with his question...... In response to his question about existing
governmental RF/MW exposure regulations, he is going to be given the
**existing** internationally defined "norms" as dictated by the
ICNIRP.....
These ICNIRP "standards" are simply no longer worthy of ANY 'credible
basis' for their claim to provide to the PUBLIC adequate protection
against the exploding levels of elecromagnetic radiation now occurring
in our worldwide environment......
Anyone who will read Dr. Neil Cherry's excellent paper on my website
(also that of Dr. Hyland) should be able to recognize that these ICNIRP
"defined" standards ... are badly out of date ... in terms of the
abundant research information of the past decade or so ... (actually
going back 20 to 30 years, if one considers the work of Dr. Stanislaw
Szmigielski of Poland or the Russian information, all of which
SHOULD be considered!!)......
No worthwhile progress will be made in addressing this issue, if all
"we" (our governments) are willing to do is "take a poll" of what other
governments are doing - and then make a decision on that basis.....
Until this moment, the overwhelming "consensus" of the government's of
the world has accepted the U.S.-ICNIRP standards -- which **ignore** the
consequences of non-thermal electromagnetic effects.....!!!
In the U.K. at this time, a serious (governmental) review appears to be
underway which is looking BEYOND the thermal effects ... and seeking to
achieve a new concept of "standards" **which would recognize that the
thermal effects, alone, are an inadequate basis for setting RF/MW
exposure health standards......**
I urge that this effort in the U.K. be given an opportunity to achieve
some kind of a "new level" of understanding on this matter..... Let us
NOT continue to play "follow the leader" behind the **"profit-driven"
self-serving (actually U.S. controlled) ICNIRP standards**.....!!!
Let's allow an opportunity for the new criteria, recognizing that there
ARE non-thermal bioeffects, to come to the surface - as it is now
struggling to do so in the U.K. (and, in a few cases, elsewhere).....
(Perhaps the June 7th and 8th meeting on this subject in Salzburg,
Austria, will lead to a consensus on some "higher level" of
understanding about this matter....?? I am looking into the possibility
of attending that meeting, myself.....)
Cheerio..... (I hope everyone will take notice of dr. Ed Maxey's
information about the "infamous" Linet study, below....)

Hello Leticia,
Please ask your professor friend to contact Roy Beavers
() and ask to be put on his list service. He
will then receive abundant information automatically.
He could also visit Roy's website... http://emfguru.com. Here he
will find all sorts of information dealing with the EMF hazard.
The power line EMF hazard has been of particular interest to me.
The recently obtained raw data from the National Cancer Institute
Linet study shows that there is a 23 trillion to one likelihood that
childhood leukemia is somehow related to 60 Hertz magnetic fields
of low intensity (0.3 to 5 milligauss). A document showing this will
be emailed to your professor friend upon his request.
You also already have a reply from Alasdair Philips, an outstanding
worker in this field. Do follow up on his information.
Good luck,
Ed Maxey
