Scientists Agree That EMFs Pose a Threat to Your Health
Tuesday, April 22, 2008 by: Barbara L. Minton (see all articles by this author) Key concepts: EMF, magnetic field and microwave
(NaturalNews) Electricity has become an integral part of our lives, with electromagnetic fields (EMFs) all around us. Electricity certainly makes our lives easier in many ways. Is it possible that electricity is also making our lives shorter?
Most experts agree that some limited exposure to EMFs is not a threat. We can feel reasonably safe using a toaster, for example. The problem comes when we are chronically exposed to large does of EMFs such as encountered when living near power lines or sleeping in the room where the power enters the house. Unfortunately, this type of chronic exposure to EMFs applies to millions of Americans.

REDLANDS - A plan to build a cell phone tower that has been hotly contested by certain Redlands residents has been abandoned. The tower, proposed by Omnipoint Communications Inc., a consultant for the cellular service provider T-Mobile, was designed to be 60 feet tall and disguised as a cypress tree. Omnipoint wanted to install the tower on the 1900 block of Country Club Drive.
The El Cajon Planning Commission voted 3-1 Monday night to permit cell phone provider T-Mobile to put a cell phone tower on a single family home.
Neighbors oppose the tower for a variety of reasons. Lynn Dallas said many are worried that the tower could spark a fire or block access to the neighborhood during a fire.
