Thanks for the many responses to my posting on June 5th. There is much more information available than I can digest in even several days. I have reviewed some of the information and visited a few of the web-sites. So far all are very informative. Below is a summary of the resources provided to me on the subject. Many of the websites also have further links to untold numbers of resources.
Once again thanks, Doug Powell Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. Ft.

Probably has the most reliable information on body susceptibility to non-ionizing radiation. http://pw1.netcom.com/~art16/index.html#amazing2 -- Don't be dismayed by this site. Its mostly a diatribe against those who suggest radiation hazards from cellular phones. But, it has some good links. http://www.niehs.nih.gov/emfrapid/ -- This is the US Government National Institutes of Health. http://www.niehs.nih.gov/emfrapid/html/Q&A-Workplace.html -- Check for workplace info. http://www.osha-slc.gov/SLTC/RadiofrequencyRadiation/index.html http://www.who.ch/ -- This is the World Health Organization site.
