Biological and Health Effects from Exposure to Power-Line Frequency Electromagnetic Fields: Confirmation of Absence of any Effects at Environmental Field Strengths

The possibility of previously unrecognised adverse health effects of electro-magnetic (EMF) from high-voltage electric power lines have been discussed since the 1970s. The concern was triggered primarily by epidemiological studies in the United States and Europe that suggested a slightly increased incidence of leukaemia's and brain tumours occurred among those living near power-lines and among utility employees working near high-voltage power lines. However, although epidemiological studies...
