There are currently 200 research projects, both privately and publicly funded, that continue to study the effects of EMFs on humans. Edison's Whitney acknowledges that some concern about the topic is healthy. "Is there a justifiable con- cern? I think it is wise to be con- cerned about everything in our envi- ronment as long as there is a healthy perspective." He draws a parallel: he allows his three children to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches despite the fact that there is a toxin . in peanut butter that has been shown to cause cancer. "I know there is a toxin," he said, "but the risk is so small. That my kids would be the one in tens of thousands of children to develop the childhood cancer — it was not a determining factor. The benefits of having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich outweigh the risk. "With EMFs, there is no defin- able risk," Whitney said. While the controversy continues, Diane Swimmer continues her protest. A full-time nursing student, Swimmer has studied the research reports. She is so convinced that EMFs do more harm than good that she avoids frequent use of appliances that have been shown to have a higher EMF output. "I don't let my kids stand in front of the microwave oven when it is in use," she said. "I only use a hair dryer when it is necessary and then it is so far from my head that it barely makes a difference. I threw out my cell phone last year." Swimmer draws a distinction between using these items sparingly and cautiously and being a neighbor to an Edisonubstation. "These are choices I made," she said, referring to the appliances. "I am not choosing to have a substa- tion in my back yard." Swimmer said she would move if the substa- tion is located within sight of her home. "I have already met with a realtor," she said. 0 24111 Civic Center Drive • Southfield • Michigan • 48034 *Rent an Apartment before August 31st and receive Bedroom & Living Room *new residents only For more information Please call Donna at 248-352-0208 Forest City Management Inc.
