Roy, while I fully support your reasoning
with satellites in space and transmitters everywhere
also power lines all over simple AVOIDANCE has become
impossible. There is no place to hide any more and the
consequence would only be "prohibition" which is impossible too
We must look for things that can be done
We can shield electric and electronic devices much better
( also high power lines by putting them underground)
Also if we make all that equipment low power , that it is more
efficient and more sensitive in itself, this would make a difference
and be a much better argument than the "get away" call,
Such will be labelled paranoid and unreasonable only.
Nobody can eliminate EMF from our industrialized world as it is
today but we can LIMIT it to the lowest technically achievable level.
How much profit driven "avoidance" is done by the industry here
you can see by looking into a North American TV or other
electronic equipment. There is lots of space for omitted parts
required in other jurisdiction to cut RF interference and eliminate
transients, although not designed for "health" reasons in the first
place; it would be a step in the right direction to have this circuit
design "active" everywhere.
This only proves again, we need a regulatory principle to force
industry to use the best technical possibilities. This is achieved by
legislating LOW Standards, without them we would even have a
much worse situation.
But in the present that depends on who presents the issue most
believable, and who can buy scientists to declare expert "doubt'
even if this means to "denounce" their own research results.
In dubio pro reo - as long as we have to proof the industry "wrong"
beyond a reasonable doubt ..........they can buy more expertise.
The call for a moratorium on cellular proliferation was an issue
raised by Cellular Alert years ago to no avail. The disintegration of
this group - mainly in the medical circles - is due to "peer"pressure
and outright threats to the livelihood of the persons involved.
For a "fistful of dollars" many problems have been "ironed out".....
but that is only Hollywood .......
Right ! ?
Greetings
Wolfgang
PS : in the epidemiological data not only electric cooking could be
a common link also electric typewriters another female dominated
"environment" with permanent electro-magnetic action
and not everywhere thing are computerized yet..........
Has anyone data on EMF around electric typewriters ???
