Scope and Content Note

This collection includes news articles, television transcripts, and academic studies about electrical magnetic fields (EMFs), electric power lines, substations, and health risks that have been associated with these subjects. A large portion of the collection was originally together in a notebook that was sent to Rock Hill, SC Mayor Elizabeth Dunlap “Betty Jo” Rhea to have her reconsider building a substation across from York Road Elementary School. Alongside the documents that were in that notebook are other documents which seemed to have been excluded from being in the notebook but are included with the collection.
