RE: EMF and Cell phone towers

RE: EMF and Cell phone towers

At the EPA we receive several misdirected calls
on this issue each year.  I have developed a
web page on EMF which is attached.  If you can
not read the web page the best place to call is
the FCC at (202) 418-2464.

Recent studies published by the National Research Council  (the research arm of the National Academy Of Science ), The New England Journal of Medicine , and the Health Physics Society  have concluded that there are no health risks posed by residential exposures to EMF.   These studies corroborate EPA-Region 2 experiences involving EMF in environmental settings.   In light of these findings and competing demands for programmatic funds, the EMF program in Region 2 was discontinued in 1994. 

Currently, the Federal Communications Commission  (FCC) maintains an EMF radiofrequency safety program  in the Office of Engineering and Technology.  This program may be reached at (202) 418-2464. 

More information on EMF in general may be obtained from the National Insitute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and the U.S. Department of Energy  from the EMF Reasearch and Pubic Information Dissemination (RAPID) Program.  

Information may also be obtained by calling the NIEHS information hot line at 1-800-363-2383.
