UK National Radiological Protection Board(NRPB) Originating from the ionising radiation past (still its main occupation, and possibly colouring its general approach) there is now a non-ionising part of its website containing a good deal of basic information about EMF. Like most of the websites below it has its own political biases, in this case largely reflecting the official UK establishment viewpoint. Not very useful from the immediate news point of view, but indispensable as a starting point for those interested in these issues. They announce occasional free seminars at Chilton near Oxford on the site. Independent Expert Group on Mobile Phones Originating from the Stewart Committee's report on possible cellphone and mast health hazards, this small site records progress of the ensuing £7 million joint research programme which devolved from the report. Microwave Consultants Limited Dr Camelia Gabriel has been conducting careful conductivity measurements of tissues for many years, and with her son Sami, now joined by Dr Philip Chadwick, are a well respected research team, used extensively by Governments, the cellphone industry and others. Their site is a useful compendium of tissue conductivities and also offers the French Government-commissioned Zrimou report translated into English, extensively reviewing the cellphone health issue. The Zrimou report itself contains a large number of relevant links, and indications of EMF research efforts in most countries. (At the time of Zrimou's publication there were none listed for the UK!). Tres bien fait, Camelia! Mast Sanity A loose confederation of protest groups concerned about the installation of cellphone base stations near homes. Provides a continuous stream of email information to registrees on the progress of their members as well as useful news developments Mast Action UK A similar confederation and in fact originating earlier than Mast Sanity. They have organised a number of meetings and lobbies to Government. EMF-link: Infoventures Probably the largest and most established EMF website. Subscribers to their newsletter EMF Health Report get web access to a vast EMF database, but at a price. Probably best suited for professionals and institutions. Powerwatch A small UK-based commentary organisation for people concerned with EMF issues, run from home by Alasdair and Jean Philips near Cambridge. They also sell self-published pamphlets on EMF, screening materials, and hire out/sell probes for measuring EMFs. They no longer provide personal advice, which can still be had from Simon Best at Electromagnetic News and Therapy (see below). Better Electromagnetic Environment A Swedish site with English language version FEB - The association for electrically and VTD injured Website: FEB Run for Lief Sodergren, the pioneer activist for electrically sensitive ("ES") people. Since he began, the issue has grown exponentially, but still requires a good deal of exploratory and good quality scientific research to persuade mainstream scientists that ES exists. The EMR Alliance An international alliance of pressure groups concerned about ELF, RF, and MW issues run by Kathy Bergman-Venezia out of New York. EMF-L Website Guru. Run by Roy Beavers (aka EMFguru), this was a lively hard-hitting EMF forum, not nowadays so active. The Bioelectromagnetics Society: Website: BEMS BEMS is arguably the most important scientific society investigating this science. Founded 25 years ago, with around 600 members and a peer reviewed regular journal, cited by Medline, there is also a forum for discussion of topical issues. Its annual meetings provide a comprehensive scientific programme in various nice parts of the world, not always in the US. The European Bioelectromagnetics Association (EBEA) Website: The smaller, younger, and less active European equivalent of BEMS, with biennial meetings presenting the new scientific research, sometimes in conjunction with BEMS. Members can access the BEMS journal this way, and there is a strong eastern Europe imput. The Bioelectrochemical Society Bioenergetics and the electrochemistry of living organisms is so close to bioelectromagnetics you would not see the seem. However this community (c. 200 members) does not follow the controversies so closely, being more concerned with the processes and structures related to its field. It too has excellent biennial meetings and other seminars. Electromagnetic News and Therapy A longstanding (13 issues by 2003) and well written newsletter available on subscription in hard copy form, plus a telephone helpline service. Run by Simon Best, a journalist with much experience in alternative and complementary medicine, who wrote one of the important pioneer works on this topic in 1989 with Dr. Cyril Smith ("Electromagnetic Man") Microwave News: Website: MWN Run by pioneering activist Dr. Louis Slesin from New York, MWN covers mainly the US scene on ELF as well as microwaves, with a formidable reputation for incisive accurate reporting. You can get free downloads of many MWN articles here, and a comprehensive list of web links, but the bimonthly journal subscription rate is quite high for individuals. The Low Level Radiation Campaign This site is more concerned with ionising radiation, but is full of peripherally useful information. Run by Dr Chris Busby, Dr Molly Cato, and Richard Bramhall whose pioneering work over the years has had an important influence in mitigating the worst excesses of the nuclear power industry and in defining nuclear related cancer epidemiology. EM Facts Consultancy This is an Australian site, run from Tasmania, but is well upto speed on the global scene, and is useful for keeping in touch with events down under. Don Maisch, who has run it since 1994, conducts some of his own peer-reviewable quality research, a rarity among campaigners and activists. EMRAA: EMR Association of Australia A well designed and relatively large, and attractive website featuring much of the Antipodean scene on this issue. The Alliance's newsletter continues to flourish, and is a useful complement to those available from Europe and the US. Human Radiation Effects Group This Bristol University Physics Dept site headed by Prof Denis Henshaw reports their research into the health effects of mainly powerline electric fields. These sites will get you started. They are by no means all the sites following this issue. For a more comprehensive list visit MicroWaveNews (see above) |
