Looks Good Will.!

You missing an "m" at the,

On the other hand, because politicians know so little about the real world, and especially about science, they need experts to help theM, determine how to best proceed. This is the positive value of lobbyists. Scientists, corporations and experts actually look into the problem and fashion solutions, which are turned into laws and regulations by the politicians and everyone hopes the problem is solved.

Sounds like a make work project and I think it could lead to litigation .

Roy, my intent was to explain, to the general public, the problem, the issues and that there is really no problem. Sorry to say, but if you could not understand it then I should "dumb it up" a bit.

I too must agree with Roy having studied EMF. I found several errors in spelling in the article along with too much non-essential information. The general public would be lost very quickly.

Will I enjoyed the article actually. This is a topic that is discussed by many recently, including Wifi as well, some people refusing to allow their kids to go to a school near us because they have Wifi!

There were a few spelling errors, and one word I actually wasn't sure if it was an error or not, and there is a bit of busy- ness about the pictures in the cancer cell growth and the electro-magnetic spectrum.
Other than that I like the article, being around mothers that seem to be all consumed by these issues (yeah all the kids have cell phones) I think it addresses the issue nicely.

Do you want me to run down some of the errors I spotted?

Yes I think so Kevin, including Electro in the title. Actually just looked again at that and it's only in the tab it's spelled wrong.
cresses was the word I questioned, just checked, it and I'm sure it's just a typo, crises. There was another I questioned, but I think it's a typo, in wavelength at one point nm is used and in another mm is used, I wasn't sure which was correct!

There is also a sentence structure somewhere that didn't seem right, grammar isn't my strong point, spelling is, so I will look again for it, and try to find the spelling errors for you Will.

The abnormal DNA stands (strands)
Remember, it is not the amount of EMF that caused sell damage, (cell)
Microwave ovens work on an entirely different principle than EMF cell (missing the word on)
This vibration produces heat in the water molecules which heats of the food, cooking it. ( "of" in there, not needed)
You should also remember that the old myth that microwaves cook from the inside our is just plain silly (out )
If you take out the hamburger and cut it in half, you will find that the outer inch or so of the meat will be hot (or)
America's preeminence if science and engineering (in)
People tend to feel comfortable with the same old thing and to be apprehensious of the new (apprehensive)
My daughters, on the other hand, have no problem practically living with they cell phones (their)


This can cause free-radical formation, which travel through the body and cause DNA damage, of the photons can strike the DNA, directly, damaging the structure of DNA in cells. (This was the sentence I had some trouble with, not sure what though)


There was also an electric-magnetic written somewhere, but I just can't seem to chase it down now, thought that should be electro-magnetic.
