This publication, produced by the EPA, presents helpful pieces of the EMF puzzle - information about how magnetic field strengths of various everyday appliances compare with each other, and how their strength diminishes the farther away you are from these appliances. Out of print. 32 page photocopy pamphlet. 1992
EMF In Your Environment (Cat. #A510)....................$3.50
Discusses in non-technical language: what is known, what is still not known, and what might be done about possible risk to health and environment. Prepared with funding from EPRI and National Science Foundation, it has an admitted bias towards "there is no problem", but still contains some good solid even if skeptical science in a readable format. 1989
Fields From Electric Power... (Cat. #A515) ............................ $10.95
The standard reference in occupational health and safety for over 50 years. A treatise on the occupational hazards of the modern work environment, it covers such important topics as chemical exposure and safety, reproductive toxicology and cancer risk assessment, biological rhythms and ergonomics, biological agents and ionizing radiation. But the best part is that this standard text of industrial hygiene recognizes and contains a whole chapter dedicated to non-ionizing electromagnetic energy. Discussion includes UV, laser and infra-red hazards and exposure effects, as well as lots of good information about microwave and radio-frequency radiation and extremely low frequency fields. Exposure standards, health effects on various parts of the body, and a comprehensive review of scientific literature are included. Abundant charts and tables of useful information. 765 pages, 1995. Note: current edition sells for $295.00!
Patty's Industrial Hygiene (Cat. #A562) …………..…. $29.95
by William Horton & Saul Goldberg An impressive textbook-format summary of the studies, findings, and reports of the last 15 years in the area of the effects of EMF on humans. Discusses the magnetic fields produced by electric power lines at length, details techniques for shielding magnetic fields, and provides important information for developing safety policies and procedures for dealing with magnetic fields. Invaluable as a tool for design, construction, and valuation of homes, offices and commercial spaces with regard to EMF safety. Technically oriented. 1995
Power Frequency Magnetic Fields & Public Health (Cat. #A570).....$159.95
Q&A: EMFs in the Workplace (Cat. #A514) ......... $4.95
A Handbook for Professionals The first practical guide to focus on understanding and evaluating the health effects of radio frequency and extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (cellular phones, computers, microwave towers, and powerlines). Explains how to identify sources and measure leakage, including how to select your monitoring equipment. Includes latest research findings on the biological effects of RF fields and exposure standards. Entire section on specific problems and how they can be solved, including a "Radio Control Program". 1995
RF & ELF Electromagnetic Energies (Cat. #A625).................$206.95
In another attempt to calm fears about EMF exposure, this booklet expands on the prior two books (above) in comparing EMF readings and exploring the question: Is there a risk? Fairly strongly biased scientific arguments against EMF hazards. Ironically, the author states that based on his understanding, he has moved his computer further away, moved his son's bed away from the powerlines in the street, changed his bedside clock, and has done other EMF reducing maneuvers. 1993
What Can We Conclude...? (Cat. #A517) .................................. $4.95

Magnetic Field Measurements of Everyday Electrical Devices
Government publication which tends to lean in favor of the idea that EMF dangers are unproven. Even so, it is written in clear non-technical language with good graphics explaining the concepts of EMF basics, current health study findings especially with respect to workplace settings, ongoing research, and an extensive listing of scientific references. 66 pages, photocopy. 1996
