Subject: The EPA report on EMF hazards?????..... Date: Sun, 3 May 1998 044715 -0500 (CDT) From: "Roy L.

[Guru says: For our foreign friends -- EPA is the Environmental Protection Agency of the U.S. Government. The report to which Peter refers was prepared in the 1990-91 time frame, and was critical of the EMF threat to health, suggesting that EMF was a "probable" carcinogen. This conclusion was too much for the political system to allow, so the report was changed and subsequently "buried." For a time thereafter, EPA pretended that they were still working on it and that it would eventually be released..... Keep in mind that in 1992 the political administration changed, bringing Bill Clinton into the Presidency (including a new head of the EPA, Carol Browner) -- thus an excellent opportunity to reverse the "burrying" action of President Bush's Administration on the EPA report. The hypocrytical Clinton/Gore "environmentalists," however, simply "buried" the study deeper.... P.S... Carol Browner came to the Washington EPA job after serving in a similar capacity in the State of Florida, where she was instrumental in writing the Florida "EMF legislation." It allows as much as 200 mG exposure at the edge of power line rights-of-way. You read it right: 200!!!.....guru] Peter snip........ INTERNET RIGHT TO KNOW DATABASE OPENS - The EPA Right to Know effort has been expanded on the Internet. The Sector Facility Indexing Project will provide comprehensive information on the environmental performance of hundreds of facilities in five major industries. The information in this pilot program comes largely from industrial and state sources and has been subject to a rigorous quality-assurance process. The industries covered include: automobile assembly, pulp manufacturing, petroleum refining, iron and steel production, and the primary smelting and refining of aluminum, copper, lead and zinc. The new database covers 653 facilities within the five sectors. For the first time in one place citizens can find information in one place that the facilities must provide under a number of federal environmental laws - past inspections and enforcement actions, the size of the facilities and their annual releases of chemicals into the environment. snip Archive provided courtesy of WaveGuide, http://www.wave-guide.org Reprinted with permission of Roy Beavers, http://www.feb.se/EMF-L/EMF-L.html
