Qualifications
Sage EMF Design is owned by Cindy Sage. Mrs Sage has been involved in EMF issues as an environmental consultant and public policy researcher since 1982. She has provided professional consulting services to cities, counties, various states and a national EMF policy group on the issue of EMF policy and prudent avoidance.
Publications
Mrs Sage has numerous publications and invited presentations in the areas of EMF public policy, public perception, land use planning and computer modelling of EMF, real property impacts from transmission lines, and remediation of high field environments. She is the author of Epidemiology for Decision-Makers: A Visual Guide to Residential and Occupational EMF Epidemiology Results (1996), EMF Modelling and Land Use Planning: A Methodology for Assessing Land for School Siting or Residential Development (1994), The EMF Dilemma: Decision-Making Amid Uncertainty (1991), and Reduction of Magnetic Fields Through Electrical Switching and Wiring in the Home (1991).
