Radiation - websites

There are many websites with information on radiation.  Here are a few:

  • EMFacts Consultancy  This Australian site, run by consultant Don Maisch, has a number of factsheets on 50 and 60 Hertz(Hz) Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) from electricity and Radio-frequency/Microwave (RF/MW) Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) from telecommunications. It also has a list of useful links. 

  • The EMR Safety network (Australia) - the network seeks to create public awareness of environmental electromagnetic field radiation (EMR) by providing information about EMR and potential effects on health. As well as information, there is a list of links.  Also EMR Safety International

  • Victorian Department of Human Services Environment Health Information Radiation webpage - the website has information on the radiation safety program, and more.

  • Powerwatch  this UK organisation is independent of government and industry, whose charter is to gather information on EMFs from around the world and make it available for non-technical people.

  • Microwave News: a comprehensive source of the latest news and opinion on low- and high-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs).

  • Swedish Association for the Electro-Sensitive a very comprehensive site for information on the condition of Electrosensitivity as well as links to other sites (in English)

  • The EMR Network (USA) - 'created to provide a forum for effective and balanced information for citizen-action groups, the media, municipal agents, government officials and scientists alike.'

     
  • The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency -  note however, that this organisation is the official Australian Government agency and tends take the line that there insufficient evidence of negative health effects of much of the EMR spectrum.
