........Verrry interesting!!!  One thing is for sure, Don, in answer
to your question -- it would sure screw up any epidemiological study
results......  A classic case of "why?" we are getting epidemiological
results that are artificially LOW RISK factors.....

Dear Roy

Apparently the entire capital city of Australia, CANBERRA has an electrical
problem that I would request comment on from members on this list.

Up to the last few years the common practice in building wiring in Canberra
was NOT to have an earth grounding stake but to wire up the metal water
piping system to fullfill this role.

Recently I received a call from a resident of Canberra who  seemed to be
having health problems related to excessive EMF exposures at home.  I sent
her a meter and survey protocol to use for  two weeks. What she is finding
indicates that high magnetic field levels in homes may be common in that
city as the water system is acting as an intregral part of the electrical
supply system.

What would be the possible consequences of an entire city having this
situation?

Regards

Don Maisch
