Subject: Microwave News, September/October 1998
Dear Colleague:
The September/October 1998 issue of Microwave News has been published. The
cover stories are:
* The Canadian government is considering whether to apply a strict limit of
0.2 W/Kg for radiofrequency and microwave radiation exposures to the eyes
from cellular phones and walkie-talkies. Visitors to our Web site will find
the first few paragraphs of our coverage of the debate surrounding this
proposed limit, as well as the FULL TEXT of our overview of the science on
which the limit is based.
* Funds for research on possible health effects of power frequency
electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are disappearing. We report that the U.S.
Department of Energy closed its long-running EMF research program on
September 30. The first few paragraphs of the story are up on our Web site.
In "Views on the News," our regular opinion column, we contend that there
are both moral and practical reasons why the DOE's decision is a mistake-as
are similar decisions by other major funders of EMF research. The FULL TEXT
of Views is also on our Web site.
Of course, there is much, much more. The complete table of contents for the
September/October 1998 issue appears below. We invite you to visit our site
and e-mail comments to .
Of course, we hope you will join us as a subscriber --if you aren't one
already-- and get all the latest news.
Sincerely,
Louis Slesin
Editor and Publisher
