LADWP Position Statement on EMF
Team Mission Statement on EMF
Links
During recent years, questions have been raised about the possible health effects of 60-hertz (power
frequency) electric and magnetic fields (EMF), which are found wherever you have electricity. This
webpage contains easy -to -read information that will help you understand the EMF issue, plus
practical tips you can use if you want to reduce your exposure at home and at work.
Can EMF Harm Your Health?
Electric and magnetic fields (EMF) are present wherever electricity flows - around appliances, power
lines, in offices, schools and homes, Many researchers believe that if there is a risk of adverse health
effects from EMF, it is probably low but warrants further investigation. Most, but not all, childhood
studies have reported a weak association between estimates, but not direct measures, of residential
magnetic field exposure and certain types of childhood cancer. Worker studies have shown mixed
results. Laboratory experiments have shown that magnetic fields can cause changes in living cells. It
is not clear whether these changes suggest any risk to human health.
Given the uncertainty of the issue, the medical and scientific communities have been unable to
determine that EMF causes health effects or to establish any standard or level of exposure that is
known to be either safe or harmful.

Research Is Ongoing
A number of research studies are now under way to determine if magnetic fields do pose any health
risk and, if so, what aspect of the fields might be harmful. For example, at this time, no one knows
whether the length of time in a field, the field strength, going "in and out" of a field, or combinations
of these with other factors might be relevant.
What Is Being Done About EMF in California?
As a result of a 1993 decision by the California Public Utilities Commission, an EMF research and
information program has been established. This program is managed by the California Department of
Health Services (CDHS) and funded by utility rate payers. The purpose of the program is to perform
research and policy analysis, and provide education and technical assistance to benefit Californians.
Input to the CDHS is provided by a Stakeholders Advisory Consultant Group (SAC), consisting of
representatives of the public, consumer groups, health and scientific experts, and labor and utility
representatives. Additional input can be provided by state agencies, consultants, and special interest
groups during the open forum discussion periods at the SAC meetings. These meetings are open to
the general public. Financial support by utilities of the $65-million federal program is continuing.
What You Can Do?
Studies of EMF have not shown that people need to change the way they use electric appliances or
equipment. But if you feel reducing your exposure would be beneficial, you can increase your
2of3
distance from electric appliances and/or limit the amount of time you use appliances at home or at
work.
For instance:
• You can place telephone answering machines and electric clocks away fiont the head of your
bed.
• You can increase your distance from appliances such as televisions, computer monitors and
microwave ovens.
• You can also reduce your EMF exposure by limiting the time you spend using personal
appliances such as hair dryers, electric razors, heating pads and electric blankets.
• You can limit the time you spend using electric cooking appliances.
• You can locate sources of EMF in your work environment and spend break time in lower -
field areas.
It is not known whether such actions will have any impact on your health.

EMF exists wherever there is elechicity: in homes, in workplaces and near power lines.
Electric fields exist whenever equipment is plugged in, but magnetic fields exist only when
equipment is turned on.. Both types of fields get weaker with distance from their source.
Until more is known, your best strategy is to stay informed and, if you think it's necessary, to
limit your exposure. You may be able to reduce your exposure by identifying EMF sources,
changing the way you use electric appliances and increasing your distance from EMF sources.

LADWP Position Statement on EMF
Team Mission Statement on EMF
Links
During recent years, questions have been raised about the possible health effects of 60-hertz (power
frequency) electric and magnetic fields (EMF), which are found wherever you have electricity. This
webpage contains easy -to -read information that will help you understand the EMF issue, plus
practical tips you can use if you want to reduce your exposure at home and at work.
Can EMF Harm '',.'our Health?
Electric and magnetic fields (EMF) are present wherever electricity flows - around appliances, power
lines, in offices, schools and homes. Many researchers believe that if there is a risk of adverse health
effects from EMF, it is probably low but warrants further investigation. Most, but not all, childhood
studies have reported a weak association between estimates, but not direct measures, of residential
magnetic field exposure and certain types of childhood cancer. Worker studies have shown mixed
results. Laboratory experiments have shown that magnetic fields can cause changes in living cells. It
is not clear whether these changes suggest any risk to human health.
Given the uncertainty of the issue, the medical and scientific communities have been unable to
determine that EMF causes health effects or to establish any standard or level of exposure that is
known to be either safe or harmful.

risk and, if so, what aspect of the fields might be harmful. For example, at this time, no one knows
whether the length of time in a field, the field strength, going "in and out" of a field, or combinations
of these with other factors might be relevant.
What Is Being Done About EMF in California?
As a result of a 1993 decision by the California Public Utilities Commission, an EMF research and
information program has been established. This program is managed by the California Department of
Health Services (CDHS) and funded by utility rate payers. The purpose of the program is to perform
research and policy analysis, and provide education and technical assistance to benefit Californians.
Input to the CDHS is provided by a Stakeholders Advisory Consultant Group (SAC), consisting of
representatives of the public, consumer groups, health and scientific experts, and labor and utility
representatives. Additional input can be provided by state agencies, consultants, and special interest
groups during the open forum discussion periods at the SAC meetings. These meetings are open to
the general public. Financial support by utilities of the $65-million federal program is continuing.
What You Can Do?
Studies of EMF have not shown that people need to change the way they use electric appliances or
equipment. But if you feel reducing your exposure would be beneficial, you can increase your
2 of 3
distance from electric appliances and/or limit the amount of time you use appliances at home or at
work.
For instance:
• You can place telephone answering machines and electric clocks away from the head of your
bed.
• You can increase your distance from appliances such as televisions, computer monitors and
microwave ovens.
• You can also reduce your EMF exposure by limiting the time you spend using personal
appliances such as hair dryers, electric razors, heating pads and electric blankets.
• You can limit the time you spend using electric cooking appliances.
• You can locate sources of EMF in your work environment and spend break time in lower -
field areas.
It is not known whether such actions will have any impact on your health.
"To Summarize..."
EMF exists wherever there is electricity: in homes, in workplaces and near power lines.
Electric fields exist whenever equipment is plugged in, but magnetic fields exist only when
equipment is turned on. Both types of fields get weaker with distance from their source.
Until more is known, your best strategy is to stay informed and, if you think it's necessary, to
limit your exposure. You may be able to reduce your exposure by identifying EMF sources,
changing the way you use electric appliances and increasing your distance from EMF sources.

Links
During recent years, questions have been raised about the possible health effects of 60-hertz (power
frequency) electric and magnetic fields (EMF), which are found wherever you have electricity. This
webpage contains easy -to -read information that will help you understand the EMF issue, plus
practical tips you can use if you want to reduce your exposure at home and at work.
Can EMF Harm Your Health?
Electric and magnetic fields (EMF) are present wherever electricity flows - around appliances, power
lines, in offices, schools and homes. Many researchers believe that if there is a risk of adverse health
effects from EMF, it is probably low but warrants further investigation. Most, but not all, childhood
studies have reported a weak association between estimates, but not direct measures, of residential
magnetic field exposure and certain types of childhood cancer. Worker studies have shown mixed
results. Laboratory experiments have shown that magnetic fields can cause changes in living cells. It
is not clear whether these changes suggest any risk to human health.
Given the uncertainty of the issue, the medical and scientific communities have been unable to
determine that EMF causes health effects or to establish any standard or level of exposure that is
known to be either safe or harmful.

Research Is Ongoing
A number of research studies are now under way to determine if magnetic fields do pose any health
risk and, if so, what aspect of the fields might be harmful. For example, at this time, no one knows
whether the length of time in a field, the field strength, going "in and out" of a field, or combinations
of these with other factors might be relevant.
What Is Being Done About EMF in California?
As a result of a 1993 decision by the California Public Utilities Commission, an EMF research and
information program has been established. This program is managed by the California Department of
Health Services (CDHS) and funded by utility rate payers. The purpose of the program is to perform
research and policy analysis, and provide education and technical assistance to benefit Californians.
Input to the CDHS is provided by a Stakeholders Advisory Consultant Group (SAC), consisting of
representatives of the public, consumer groups, health and scientific experts, and labor and utility
representatives. Additional input can be provided by state agencies, consultants, and special interest
groups during the open forun discussion periods at the SAC meetings. These meetings are open to
the general public. Financial support by utilities of the $65-million federal program is continuing.
What You Can Do?
Studies of EMF have not shown that people need to change the way they use electric appliances or
equipment. But if you feel reducing your exposure would be beneficial, you can increase your
2 of 3
distance from electric appliances and/or limit the amount of time you use appliances at home or at
work.
For instance:
• You can place telephone answering machines and electric clocks away from the head of your
bed.
• You can increase your distance from appliances such as televisions, computer monitors and
microwave ovens.
• You can also reduce your EMF exposure by limiting the time you spend using personal
appliances such as hair dryers, electric razors, heating pads and electric blankets.
• You can limit the time you spend using electric cooking appliances.
• You can locate sources of EMF in your work environment and spend break time in lower -
field areas.
It is not known whether such actions will have any impact on your health.
"To Summarize..."
EMF exists wherever there is electricity: in homes, in workplaces and near power lines.
Electric fields exist whenever equipment is plugged in, but magnetic fields exist only when
equipment is turned on. Both types of fields get weaker with distance from their source.
Until more is known, your best strategy is to stay informed and, if you think it's necessary, to
limit your exposure. You may be able to reduce your exposure by identifying EMF sources,
changing the way you use electric appliances and increasing your distance from EMF sources.

RE: LADWP License — Fire Access Roadway
The City of Vernon issued a Conditional Use Permit to Lubricating Specialties Company ("LSC"),
located at 3365 Slauson Avenue, to construct and operate a petroleum related facility. In order to improve fire
protection to the site and surrounding properties, a condition of approval required LSC to construct a fire access
roadway on the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power ("LADWP") right of way which adjoins the west
side of its property. The fine access roadway would be constructed from Slauson Avenue to more or less the
northerly boundary of the LSC property. LSC has prepared plans for the construction and drainage of the
access road. These plans were subsequently submitted to LADWP for approval. LADWP approved the plans,
but advised LSC that it had temporarily halted the issuance of new licenses to private parties for the temporary
use of its property and would only issue a License to the City for the construction of the roadway.
Attached herewith is a proposed license agreement permitting the City of Vernon to access the
LADWP right of way to pave the subject fire access roadway. The agreement permits the City to retain a 3'd
party to pave the roadway on its behalf. The City has negotiated with LSC to act as its 3 d party to construct the
roadway. In addition LSC has agreed to pay for all processing fees that the City of Vernon will incur in filing
the License with LADWP and to pay for all costs associated with the construction of the roadway. Lastly LSC
has agreed to comply with all terms of the License Agreement.
It is recommended that the City Council approve the License Agreement with LADWP permitting the
City to pave a fire access roadway on its right of way north of Slauson Avenue, subject to the City Council
concurrently approving an agreement between LSC and the City authorizing LSC to act as its 3`d party and pave
the fire access roadway at its sole expense.
Lastly, LADWP has issued a letter to the City of Vernon advising that the City may enter its right of
way for emergency purposes. The License is therefore only needed while the access roadway is being
constructed. Once the roadway is paved, in order to limit the City's liability, City staff will be recommending
that the license be terminated.
