As well the "Extensive Bibliography on EMFs & Health" was made available directly from the main menu and some information files were updated. Extensive revision was done in the fall of 1995, new sections were added and most others were updated. ABOUT THE BRIDLEWOOD ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS INFORMATION SERVICE The Bridlewood Electromagnetic Fields Information Service is maintained on the National Capital Freenet (NCF) in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The system includes information files and access to other Internet resources on EMFs (see below). The National Capital Freenet can be accessed by anyone with a computer and modem by dialling (613) 564-3600 (2400 baud) or 564-0808 (high speed) or via telnet at "freenet.carleton.ca" (134.117.1.25). To access the Bridlewood Residents Hydro Line Committee section of the NCF type "go brhlc" at the "Your Choice" prompt anywhere within the NCF menu system. The BRHLC Information Service can now be accessed via the World Wide Web at the following URL: "http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/freeport/ social.services/eco/orgs/bridlewd/menu". INFORMATION FILES A list of the information files with their revision dates is provided below: About the Bridlewood EMFs Information Service (MARCH 1996) History of the Bridlewood Hydro Line Struggle (MARCH 1996) Electromagnetic Fields and Health (MARCH 1996) Electromagnetic Fields and Schools and Playgrounds (SEPT 1995) Hydro Line and EMF Struggles Around the World (MARCH 1996) Sources of Electromagnetic Fields and How to Avoid Them (SEPT 1995) Electrical Sensitivity (SEPT 1995) Bibliography and EMF Information Sources (SEPT 1995) Extensive Bibliography on EMFs & Health (over 1000 items) (MARCH 1996) American Physical Society Statement and Responses (SEPT 1995) Coalition to Reduce Electropollution (SEPT 1995) EMR Alliance (SEPT 1995) Planetary Association for Clean Energy Inc. (JAN 1995) Prudent Residents Opposed To Electric Cable Transmission (JAN 1995) Safe Technologies Corporation (SEPT 1995) The system also provides a discussion group on EMFs where you can ask questions or discuss the EMF issue, as well as access to other Internet EMF resources, including the EMF-BIO Usenet Newsgroup and the EMFLDS-L Mailing List and the World Wide Web sites listed in What's New above. ABOUT THE BRIDLEWOOD RESIDENTS HYDRO LINE COMMITTEE 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 information and education role. Our participation in the National Capital Freenet and on the World Wide Web is part of that continuing educational role. The Bridlewood community's struggle has been going on now for over ten 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. We are, however, continuing the struggle. Our resources are now primarily focused on providing public education on the health risks of electromagnetic radiation through the Bridlewood Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) Information Service. -- *************************** Richard W.

In fact, there have been so many reports in Sweden that an epidemiological study is being undertaken. Does anyone know of headache studies being undertaken in the US? I think these headache reports are valid. Back in the 1960's when I found the microwave hearing effect, I carried out some studies in humans at incident average power densities of less than 1mw/cm2.* I was working at approximately what is now the cell phone frequencies. I discontinued that line of research with humans when I found that I was getting reports of headaches and I was experiencing headaches myself. (I don't get headaches). There was little known about headaches then and no good animal models for headache studies. Thus, at that time I could only report it in the literature as an incidental observation. * There is a microwave hearing effect that occurs at very low power densities and a skull vibration effect that occurs when very high energies are applied to the head. There is some confusion in the literature because the vibration effect has often been referred to as a microwave hearing effect, but it is not the same phenomena. Allan Allan H.
