Q. Who is supporting all the EMF research?
A. In the United States, public and private funds support EMF research. The federal government has conducted EMF studies for almost 20 years. More than a dozen federal government agencies have been involved. The state governments of New York and California have sponsored EMF-related epidemiologic research and several other states have commissioned EMF research summaries. Major financial support for EMF reserch has also come from the electric power industry, primarily through the Electric Power Research Institute. Worldwide, at least 22 countries are conducting EMF research.
