Subject: EMF-free zones in USA

 Roy, I sent the following to Leif Sodergren in response to his inquiry
about EMF-free zones in countries other than Sweden. - Marjorie

Subject: No EMF-free zones in USA
 Leif, there are no designated areas of the USA where cellular telephones
or other wireless telecommunication devices are forbidden to be used.  It
is possible that such zones might be established in future, but there are
none now.
 On the other hand, there ARE some areas of the USA that tend to be free
of these devices; the vicinity of radio telescopes is one such area.  This
is the closest thing the USA has to an EMF-free zone at present.
 There is a desire to discourage the presence of RF sources near radio
telescopes, in order to avoid interfering with the astronomical signals
received by the radio telescopes.  So the region near radio telescopes is
a "de facto" RF-EMF-free zone, even though there is no such zone designated
as a matter of law in the USA. - Marjorie
