Since the 1970s, when epidemiological evidence suggested a
link between cancer clusters around high-voltage power lines
and the electromagnetic fields those lines generated, a
debate has raged about the health effects and dangers of
power lines. As of 2010, scientists remain divided over
causation, though evidence of correlation is plentiful,
according to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE). Studies generally focus on one or more of
several key illnesses for which evidence suggests a link to
electromagnetic field exposure.
Childhood Leukemia
In 1979, a study published in the "American Journal of
Epidemiology" by Nancy Wertheimer and Ed Leeper of the
University of Colorado Medical Center reported a direct link
between electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure from power
lines and childhood leukemia. The findings made headlines
and spawned dozens of further studies over the years seeking
to replicate the results.
Evidence that the extremely low-frequency field (ELF)
generated by power lines directly affects biological
molecules is limited, however, according to the Health
Physics Society. Experiments since the Wertheimer/Leeper
study have yielded inconsistent results, though a paper by
the U.S. National Academy of Sciences suggested that
children in residences near power lines did indeed show an
increased risk of childhood leukemia. The report
demonstrated no link between power lines and adult cancers.
