We've recently been asked by the city Division of Electricity to evaluate the current data on the health effects of EMF to determine if a planned 138 kV power line through the city would adversely affect the health of those living nearby. I'm curious though about the relationship between Information Ventures, Inc. (IVI) which runs and copyrights EMF-Link and the University of Pennsylvania who it appears provides IVI with computer support. Do the IVI folks just rent space on a UP machine? Are IVI staff also university employees? While IVI and EMF-Link seem like a fine resource, I'm always skeptical about "suppliers of information." Thanks for your help.

(IVI), producers of EMF-Link, a WWW server that provides information on the biological and health effects of EMFs. IVI is an independent scientific information company whose clients include various federal and state agencies, as well as a few private companies and associations. IVI also produces print and electronic publications (BENER Digest, the EMF Database, EMF Health Report) which currently receive no outside funding. We at IVI frequently collaborate with faculty at the University of Pennsylvania, and EMF-Link was established as a result of this collaborative relationship. IVI has a reputation for scientific accuracy and objectivity that is evident in the content of our products. We maintain that unbiased position so that people can depend on the objectivity of our analysis.

Woodley Bridlewood Residents Hydro Line Committee A new electronic information service on electromagnetic fields is now available on the National Capital Freenet (Freenet). Via the Internet, EMF-Link is available on the Bridlewood Residents Hydro Line Committee (BRHLC) EMF Information Service on the Freenet. To access the BRHLC EMF Information service type "go brhlc" at the "Your Choice" prompt anywhere within the Freenet. EMF-Link is a World Wide Web server that provides substantive information on biological and health effects of electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) from common sources such as power lines, electrical wiring, appliances, medical equipment, communications facilities, cellular phones, and computers. EMF-Link is a multimedia resource directed to researchers as well as the general public. This EMF information server, which is currently under development with frequent additions, is prepared by the EMF Clearinghouse, a project of Information Ventures, Inc. (IVI). It includes information from the bimonthly EMF Health Report and quarterly Biological Effects of Nonionizing Electromagnetic Radiation (BENER) Digest Update. EMF-Link is found on the "Internet EMF Resources" submenu of the BRHLC Freenet EMF Information Service. The latest additions to EMF-Link include: "EMF Science and Public Policy", "Electromagnetic Energy Association International Conference", "Magnetic Fields Inside Incubators for Newborn Infants", "Incidence of Cancer in Norwegian Female Radio and Telegraph Operators", "EMFs and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome", "Cancer Incidence in Persons with Occupational Exposure to Extremely Low-Frequency EMFs", and "EMF Science and Public Policy". Planned additions to EMF-Link include: "Scientific research in progress - Summaries of EMF research in progress inside and outside of the federal government", "What we know and don't know about EMF - Hypertext documents summarizing the current state of knowledge regarding possible human health effects of EMF exposure written for the general public", "Human exposure to electric and magnetic fields - Summary information on exposure assessment in residential and occupational settings and the type and extent of human exposures to EMF", "EMF engineering technology - Developments in methods to assess and manage exposure to electric and magnetic fields", "EMF news reported in the popular press", "EMF litigation and legislation", "EMF information resources", and "Technical support for IVI's EMF Database, a CD-ROM database of 15,000 EMF research summaries from 1972 to present". EMF-Link uses hypertext documents. Hypertext is text that contains links from certain words or phrases to other, related information. Hypertext documents are displayed much like normal printed documents, except that the presence of the links is marked in some obvious, but non-intrusive way. EMF-Link uses highlighting and reverse video to indicate hypertext links. When a reader wishes to follow a link from the currently displayed document to another related one, the link is "activated". Activating a link results in the new document being quickly displayed, usually taking the place of the original. Using EMF-Link is quite simple and very intuitive. However, you may wish to read the "About EMF-Link - A World Wide Web Server" file before using EMF-Link. Also available on the "Internet EMF Resources" submenu is the EMF-BIO Usenet Newsgroup. The EMF-BIO Newsgroup was set up by the International Society for Bioelectricity for use by the biological research community. The purpose of the Newsgroup is to provide a means of easy communication among people doing research in or interested in electromagnetic field interactions with biological systems.It also provides the general biological community with a window into a field which has broad implications for biology. The Newsgroup is primarily for discussions among bioscientists but if you have an interest in the field you are welcome to monitor the postings on the newsgroup. More information on the newsgroup is provided in the "About the "About the EMF-BIO Usenet Newsgroup" file. The EMFLDS-L mailing list, devoted to electromagnetics in medicine, science and communications, is also available on this same menu. Postings to both the EMF-BIO Usenet newsgroup and the EMFLDS-L mailing list will be kept on the freenet for 28 days. Another new submenu on the BRHLC EMF Information Service is the "Other EMF Organizations" menu. It contains information on the Coalition to Reduce Electropollution, National EMR Alliance, Planetary Association for Clean Energy Inc., and Prudent Residents Opposed To Electric Cable Transmission. The Main Menu of the BRHLC EMF Information Service contains information files on various aspects of the EMF issue that have been written and compiled by the BRHLC. These files are updated on a regular basis and include the following subjects: "About the Bridlewood Residents Hydro Line Committee", "History of the Bridlewood Hydro Line Struggle", "Electromagnetic Fields and Health", "Electro- magnetic Fields and Schools and Playgrounds", "Hydro Line and EMF Struggles Around the World", "Sources of Electromagnetic Fields and How to Avoid Them", and "Bibliography and EMF Information Sources". The BRHLC EMF Information Service also includes a "Discussion Group on Electromagnetic Fields" where Freenet users can post questions or discuss and debate the EMF issue. The BRHLC also has available, via the Freenet, an extensive (over 900 entry) bibliography on electromagnetic fields and health. It is available on request to "ab190" via e-mail and can be sent as a file to registered Freenet users working storage or via e-mail to anyone in the world. The Bridlewood Residents Hydro Line Committee was first formed in 1986 to fight 500 kV high voltage transmission lines that Ontario Hydro proposed to construct through the community and was focused on the health effects from the electromagnetic fields emitted by the lines. Since then the committee has broadened its mandate to a much greater research, information and education role. Our participation in the National Capital Freenet is part of that continuing educational role. The Bridlewood community's struggle has been going on now for over eight years. The first public meetings on the issue were held in 1984 at which time Ontario Hydro stated that the then existing transmission corridor through Bridlewood, that was eventually chosen for the new 500 Kv lines, was unsuitable because it did not meet their technical requirements nor their community impact guidelines and therefore was not a serious alternative. However in November of 1985 a Joint Board of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Board and Ontario Municipal Board selected that route. In September of 1986 concerns were raised in the community by an article in the Ottawa Citizen, by April Lindgren, which raised the issue of the health effects of the electromagnetic radiation from high voltage transmission lines. This led to the formation of the Bridlewood Residents Hydro Line Committee which began extensive research of the issue. This was followed by formal appeals to the Ontario Cabinet, an extensive lobbying and public education campaign and legal action to have new hearings ordered for the lines. However in October of 1989 the BRHLC withdrew its legal action due to lack of funds. The BRHLC simply could not compete with Ontario Hydro's unlimited legal and financial resources. In May of 1993 the BRHLC joined the Freenet as an information provider and has established an EMF Information Service that provides EMF information locally via the Freenet and internationally via the Internet. The National Capital Freenet can be accessed by anyone with a computer and modem by dialling (613) 564-3600 or 564-0808. The modem settings are 8 bits and no parity (N-8-1). First time users can sign- on as "guest". Registration information is available in the Administration Section of the Main Menu but users need not be registered to read the information files. Registration is free and provides additional privileges such as access to the internet e-mail system. If you have Internet telnet capability the Freenet can be reached at "freenet.carleton.ca" (134.117.1.25). The Freenet can also be accessed through the menu systems of a number of other freenets in North America such as the Cleveland Freenet and the Victoria Freenet. To access the BRHLC EMF Information service type "go brhlc" at the "Your Choice" prompt anywhere within the Freenet. If you do not have access to the Freenet you can request copies of our information files by Internet e-mail. The BRHLC can be reached via e-mail at "ab190@freenet.carleton.ca" from virtually anywhere in the world, or from within the Freenet at "ab190". -- 30 -- -- ************* Richard W.
