What are safe levels of EMF?
A. In August of 1995, the U.S. National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) recommended reducing exposure to levels of 2 mG. They sited plausible connections between EMF exposures and disruption of normal biological processes However, in the October 16, 1992 issue of Time, Christine Gorman stated: One of the most telling results was that the cancer risk grew in proportion to the strength of the electromagnetic field. She reported children constantly exposed to 1mG of EMF had the lowest incidence of cancer. Those exposed to 2 mG of EMF had a three-fold increase in risk, and those exposed to 4mG had a four-fold increase in the risk of leukemia. At the same time, a 1992 Danish study by Dr. Jorgen H. Olsen found children exposed to 4mG power line EMF had a five-fold increase in the risk of childhood leukemia, lymphomas and brain tumors. For these reasons, many scientists recommend reducing exposure to levels to 1 mG or even 0.65 mG.
