ELECTRIC POWER LINES

The invisible electro-magnetic field around those massive-looking, towering high power lines you see lined up in vacant fields all around America are cosidered by some to possibly cause or contribute to childhood cancer in certain susceptible children despite the U.S. government's findings that it cannot find conclusive evidence linking power line electro-magnetic fields and cancer.

The problem is the existing evidence is neither conclusive nor does it say there is absolutely positively no possible link! The 17 year study conducted simply states researchers could not absolutely positively find a link. This does not mean, however, that a link between power lines and cancer does not exist.

If you plan to buy a home near high power lines you may want to have the house tested first to see just how powerful the electro-magnetic field is in the area. Any home with electro-magetic test results at a level of 5 or over should possibly be concerned!
