PUBLICATIONS

Many books have been published by people wishing to bring the EMR health issue to the attention of the community and the authorities, usually with minimal effect.

PUBLICATIONS ON EMR AND HEALTH

The list of publications following includes collectively a formidable reference list of the studies linking EMR with human disease. There are many, many more available. That ‘proof’ cannot be found is irrelevant, in the face of so much evidence of association, which validates the empirical evidence of perceptive members of the community and many scientists.

The CSIRO REPORT (1994), 174 pages, highly recommended though somewhat dated STATUS OF RESEARCH ON BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS AND SAFETY OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION:TELECOMMUNICATIONS FREQUENCIES prepared by S. Barnett, P.hD. Available on Stewart Fist’s website : < http://www.electric-words.com/cell/csiro/preface.html >

DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE DOES EXIST revealing the complicity of EMR in human health degradation. We offer a list of publications that demonstrate the EMR health connection.

This author has noticed, during years of literature study, that reports and studies that are positive in their summation, of the adverse impact of electromagnetic field radiation on human health, fall into obscurity, are seldom referred to in public information literature, or if referenced, are immediately dismissed as being questionable as to reliability.

This serves to create the distinct impression that there is very little reliable background information available on this topic and that there is little evidence of an adverse link between EMR and ill health.

Quite the reverse can be determined from the number of publications, reports and papers that include extensive reference lists of studies which leave little room for argument regarding the adverse effects of EMR on human health.

These reports, which seldom see the light of day after initial release, have been found to be a wealth of information for the lay public as well as professionals seeking to increase their knowledge of the EMR and health connection.

A report in New Scientist 2.5.1998 confirms this observation by drawing attention to the fact that almost half the papers published, on all topics, in scientific journals, are never subsequently cited in future articles. As a result important material reflecting many hours of in-depth work of researchers, carried out at considerable monetary cost.

Funds are provided by government and industry for research and development, the former provided by taxpayers, the latter factored into the cost of existing consumer products. The total costs borne by the community, represents a considerable waste of money for valuable resources that are never used.

The published titles listed here reflects but a sample of valuable work, in this instance dealing with the health issue of human exposure to electromagnetic field radiation ranging from power line frequencies of 50-60 Hertz to the mobile phone technology frequencies of 2.000.000 Hertz,( gigaHertz)

Included are the titles of a number of books written by concerned authors who have drawn on scientific papers as well as valuable empirical evidence which has come to their attention.

If you know of titles of similar works which we have overlooked, please advise and we will be happy to include them in this list.

NEW BOOK ON EMR IN BUILDINGS

Don Maisch says “At last there is a book available that extensively covers the building EMF issue from an architectural perspective Having been originally trained in architectural building design in the USA, I have given numerous presentations to OH&S Union groups in Tasmania, South Australia and Victoria on workplace problems associated with chemical and EMF exposures in modern IT workplace environment. At last there is a book available that extensively covers the building EMF issue from an architectural perspective. In my opinionit is THE essential reference for Trade Unions, Building Designers and bascially anyone interested in the impact of EMF on the built environment.”
