BIBLIOGRAPHY
The most recent, all-encompassing review of literature on the biological effects of low frequency electric and magnetic fields is:
A. R. Sheppard and M. Eisenbud, Biological Effects of Electric and Magnetic Fields of Extremely Low Frequency, New York University Press (1977). This book lists and describes all of the papers referenced at the hearings and provides an excellent guide to the literature.
Another recent literature review is:
J. E. Bridges, "Biological Effects of High Voltage Electric Fields: State-of-the-Art Review and Program Plan," prepared by the IIT Research Institute for the Electric Power Research Institute, EPRI Report No. 381-1 (November 1975).
Public safety aspects of transmission line operation are described in:
R. S. Banks et al., "Public Health and Safety Effects of High-Voltage Overhead Transmission Lines: An Analysis for the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board," Minnesota Department of Public Health (October 1977).
The electric and magnetic fields and devices to measure them are described in:
D. W. Deno, "Electrostatic and Electromagnetic Effects of Ultrahigh-Voltage Transmission Lines," prepared by the General Electric Company for the Electric Power Research Institute, EPRI Report No. EL-802 (June 1978).
Potential biological effects of low-frequency electromagnetic fields are also reported and summarized in:
National Academy of Sciences, "Biological Effects of Electric and Magnetic Fields Associated with Proposed Project Seafarer," Report of the Committee on Biosphere Effects of Extremely-Low-Frequency Radiation (1977). Available from the National Technical Information Service as Sigert Report ADA 042515.
Experiments on the potential biological effects of low-frequency electromagnetic fields will be reported in:
Proceedings of the 18th Annual Hanford Life Sciences Symposium on the Biological Effects of Extremely-Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, October 16-18, 1978, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and Battelle, Pacific Northwest Laboratories. To be published.
