LEGISLATION & STUDIES FROM OTHER LEVELS OF US GOVERNMENT

• 1987: Suffolk County passed legisation protecting County workers from excessive radiation from video display terminals (VDT's). Shortly thereafter, VDT's were yanked off the market and redesigned to emit much less radiation.
  
• 1987: The New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) and The Power Authority of the State of New York (PASNY) released the final report of the New York Power Lines Project, which found that leukemia, lymphoma and brain tumors were twice as likely to occur among children living in homes near high-current distribution lines and that the "basis for the hypothesis that magnetic fields cause cancer is now established."
• 2002: The California Department of Health Services (CDHS) released a report on powerline EMF exposures that found that added risk of miscarriage, child leukemia, brain cancer, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease) and greater incidence of suicide was associated with exposure to electric and magnetic fields such as those that radiate from power lines and electrical appliances.
• 2010: San Francisco passed legislation requiring cell phone point-of-sale radiation disclosure.
