“a collaboration between the Childhood Cancer Research Group at the University of Oxford and National Grid owners, Transco – looked at cancer data in England and Wales between 1962 and 1995, for children aged up to 15 years old.
They were able to map how far each child lived from a high voltage overhead power line. Comparing the children who had cancer with a control group of 29,000 children without cancer but who lived in comparable districts, found that children whose birth address was within 200 metres of an overhead power line had a 70% increased risk of leukemia. Children living 200 to 600 m away from power lines had a 20% increased risk.”[/quote]
I have to agree with ocr here based on my own personal experience. Granted this is anectdotal.
My family lived in a house That backed up to a high voltage power line till I was 4 years old. We were on the corner of Canning and Mt. Blanca in Clairemont.

Of the 5 of us, 3 are dead of cancer. Both my dad and my brother had two separate malignancies – so 5 different cancers among 5 people who spent 4-5 years under the power lines. So far my sister and I are cancer free.
I have no proof that the high voltage lines caused the cancer. This is anectdotal at best. But I, personally, would not move small children into a house adjacent to high voltage power lines.
But that’s just me.

However, according to SDG&E, the electromagnetic is actually pretty ok (high 0.28mg, low 0.1mg and average 0.2mg).As for the cancer, my family (several generations) live about 50 meters to a POWER STATION (not just a few power lines), and none of us (about 15 people) has cancer related disease. We got high blood pressure and diabete, but no cancer.
So, I guess I should have stronger DNA for this kind of stuff.Hey, I just realized that there is a High Voltage Power Pole standing right outside of my office (on 3rd floor, exact the same hieght as those power lines), less than 50M.
Oooops… maybe I should get a demotion and have a cubical 😀June 3, 2009 at 10:36 AM #409950pepsiParticipantI think it is more like a 50-meter when you stand in the backyard.
