........I think everyone should see this......It is TOO typical
of how our RICH health bureaucracies see to the public's health
and safety.........Clearly, the 'safety' that is being protected is
the industry's.......guru.......

Bill: No country has STANDARDS; only guidelines, which are not enforceable
in any court. It is a fact that the USA exposure guidelines are higher than
most. It is also true that since last year, when ANSI/IEEE-NCRP guidelines
were adopted by the FCC, the FCC no carrier could comply. So, FCC devised a
percentile plan which is particularly applicable to carriers that co-locate
on towers. In fact, FCC laughs when someone asks about exposure guidelines.
I was just at FCC last week, and spoke directly to Dr. Robert Cleveland,
requesting the guidelines they "enforce" and with which industry must
comply. Dr. Cleveland said, "You have to get that from ANSI. It is
copyrighted. We cannot give it to you." Of course my facial expression
conveyed the message to him. Our argument actually must be with the
interagency group (FDA, EPA, NIOSH, OSHA). They perpetrated and
orchestrated this sham. He told me to read FCC Bulletin 65. Told him I
had. It says nothing. In fact, industry cannot understand it (some helped
write it. Carriers call FCC daily for guidance. I have been there when they
did. If you don't have a copy of FCC Bulletin 65, FCC will send it (202
418-1000). Ask for Office of Engineering and Technology (OET). If that it a
problem for you send me an e-mail and I'll send you the Health and Safety
publications.
CENELEC, IRPA, ILO, and most guidelines are pretty standard. All were
written by industry for industry.

Roy, I would like to ask the help of your list members in compiling a
comparative list of the microwave radiation emission standards in use all
over
the world. My suspicion is that our FCC standards allow considerably more
radiation density (miliwatts/cm^2) than standards of places such as
Australia.
Is this correct? Thanks to all who respond (using either radiation
density
or specific absorbed radiation dose as the unit of comparison).
