As if there weren’t enough reasons to oppose the Van Reed Transmission Project: we can add a possible correlation between high-power lines and childhood leukemia to the list. The bottom line is that the National Cancer Institute has provided information about three metastudies (studies combining the results of smaller studies together in order to better determine the statistical significance of their results) and it is possible that exposure to EMFs from transmission lines could be correlated with a 40-to-100% increased risk for those living near enough the lines to be exposed to at least 3-4 uT (micro-Tesla). I will shortly be putting together a risk map of the local area based on calculations derived from the line’s power capacity, voltage, and the likely tower heights (80 to 100-foot metal towers) to show the areas of greatest potential concern for parents.
