Static Fields Links

1. Some of the websites providing factual information on Static Fields:

   • 1. Some information on static fields
   • 2. Information on Medical Resonance Imaging (MRI)
   • 3. Websites addressing EMF in general that mention static fields

1. Some information on static fields

• The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) publishes  guidelines on exposure to static magnetic fields and other documents on electromagnetic fields at: www.icnirp.de/pubEMF.htm 
• The IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) published a monograph in 2002 on "Static and Extremely Low Frequency electric and magnetic fields" posted at:  http://monographs.iarc.fr/ENG/Monographs/vol80/volume80.pdf

The above IARC report has been summarized by GreenFacts in:
Scientific Facts on electromagnetic fields from Power Lines, Wiring & Appliances

2. Information on Medical Resonance Imaging (MRI)

• The Institute of Physics, an international professional body and learned society promoting the advancement and dissemination of physics, explains MRI with examples at: www.insidestory.iop.org/mri.html 
• The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) publishes a statement on the safe use of MRI at:
