.......Guru continues to be intrigued by the possibilities of
finding EMF effects near airports ... which are literally "cesspools" of
high energy RF and MW radiation.....If we just look for it!!!!
In addition to Marj's suggestions below, it occurs to me that the aircraft
"landing" (doppler - or pulsed) radar are pointed downward at about a 45
to 60 degree angle as they land??? The logical area to look (in that
case) would be the landing flight path.....

Subject: Cancer near airports
Don, on Jan. 24th you told of a study around the Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-Tac)
airport, and made inquiry about other studies. There have been some studies
done near other U.S. airports or Air Force bases, but none of them enabled
conclusions to be drawn.
Here are 4 reports that may be of interest; I give them in chronological
order. All come from the Journal of Bioelectricity.
(1) Vol 1, No 1 (1982) p. 59-76. John R. Lester, Ph.D. & Dennis F. Moore, M.D.
"Cancer incidence and electromagnetic radiation"
(2) Vol 1, No 1 (1982) p. 77-82. John R. Lester, Ph.D. & Dennis F. Moore, M.D.
"Cancer mortality and Air Force bases"
(3) Vol 4, No 1 (1985) p. 121-127. Peter Polsen & James H. Merritt. "Cancer
mortality and Air Force bases: a reevaluation"
(4) Vol 4, No 1 (1985) p. 129-131. J. R. Lester. [Reply to Polsen/Merritt]
My own feeling is that the only kind of study that will enable any conclusions
to be drawn is a detailed one, such as you indicate is being done at the
Sea-Tac airport.
I confess that the observation at the Sea-Tac airport that cases occurred
under the flight path of the airplanes puzzled me at first. Then I remembered
that not only airports have radar; airplanes do, too! Each airplane, incoming
and outgoing, is a mobile operating radar system! So people living under any
given flight path are exposed to operating radar systems flying by overhead
whenever there is plane traffic along that flight path. Sea-Tac is a busy
airport, so I am sure there is LOTS of air traffic there, seven days a week!
That means lots of exposure to aircraft radar.
Of course, the cancers might arise from the combination of radar and some
chemical exposure. But I agree with you that careful attention needs to be
paid to the possibility that those glioblastomas are the consequence of some
kind of non-ionizing EMR exposure, such as radar. -- Marjorie
