The Powerwatch Handbook
Contents
The handbook contains an overview of the status of EMFs and health effects
The book includes sections on powerlines, substations, mobile phone masts, underground and overhead cables, railways, the potential levels of EMFs they generate and tips for reducing your exposure to EMFs from these sources
There are chapters on EMFs from phones, from wiring in your home, from electrical appliances and equipment at home and at work and how to make your environment a low EMF zone
There are guidelines as to spotting sources of EMFs in the places you go to, and the ways you travel to get there. This includes different forms of transport, security systems, shops, medical facilities, children's day care and schools. Minimise your exposure to EMFs as you get out and about
There is a chapter on pregnancy, children and EMFs. Lots of tips on protecting your growing family, from pre-conception to adulthood
Avoiding the development of electrosensitivity is important, as more people believe that EMFs are responsible for their health problems, which make life very difficult for them and their loved ones. The section on electrical hypersensitivity (EHS) helps avoid EHS and also keep you as symptom-free as possible if you already have the condition
The science is complex, but the authors look at making sense of the science for those who want to find out more about EMFs, and they reveal some of the reality behind the media stories and the politics

Our everyday lifestyle usually includes a growing amount of electrical equipment, electronic gadgetry, and appliances for the modern leisure age. For many people this does not seem to result in a better quality of living, life is still busy and stressed and health can suffer.
Companies advertise new wireless computers, films on mobile phones, cars with every electronic extra, communication on the move, labour saving and entertainment devices of all kinds. At the same time the media are full of stories in which people blame these very aids to modern living for a variety of health problems, even cancer.
The scientists seem to argue amongst themselves about whether there is a link between all the 'electrosmog' and our lack of wellbeing. Government guidelines can be very vague for the individual looking for practical information. Meanwhile, what can the everyday person, without the necessary scientific knowledge to understand and make sense of the debate do, to feel they are taking care of themselves and their family?
This book helps you do just that. Following the simple "dos and don'ts" you are able to reduce this pollutant in your environment.
As Dr Ian Gibson, who used to be the Dean of Biological Sciences at the University of East Anglia, says in the foreword to the book, "As the scientists, politicians, public health officials and others attempt to decipher the puzzle, it is imperative for us to become more active, to take a bit more responsibility for our own health and that of our families. It is a refreshing, jargon-free handbook that aids understanding and gives helpful, pragmatic tips."
