Report links power lines to cancer
'Researchers from the University of Tasmania and Britain's Bristol University looked at a database of 850 patients in Tasmania diagnosed with lymphatic and bone marrow cancers between 1972 and 1980, and found that living for a prolonged period near high-voltage power lines may increase the risk of leukemia, lymphoma and related conditions later in life.
Those who lived within 328 yards of a power line up to age 5 were five times more likely to develop cancer, while those who lived that close to a power line at any point during their first 15 years were three times more likely to develop cancer as an adult, the newspaper said.'
Of course this must be the case. The electromagnetic fields of the power lines disrupt the harmony of the body's electromagnetic fields, thus causing it to malfunction, most notably, in the case of cancer, the cell reproduction process.
