Brenda Short LLB(Hons) LLM, our legal advisor, has worked hard to produce an exceptional 100 page document titled “Further legal considerations in relation to EMFs, powerlines and a precautionary approach, following the SAGE report published April 2007”. This document considers in further detail whether existing legislation could be applied to any potential pollution from EMFs.
