Superb FAQ on this subject. Maintained by Dr John Moulder, a Professor of Radiation Oncology at the Medical College of Wisconsin. http://www.mcw.edu/gcrc/cop/powerlines-cancer-FAQ/toc.html#21B Very well cross indexed. Tries desperately hard (if not totally successfully) to be balanced and impartial in approach - much more so than most. Good coverage of mechanisms and potential confounding factors. Good information on possible reasons for the fact that childhood cancers are well known to be statistically significantly higher along power line routes. ___________________________ Power Lines and Cancer FAQs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Summary: Questions and answers on the connection between power lines, electrical occupations and cancer; includes discussion of the biophysics of interactions, summaries of the laboratory and human studies, information on standards, and a bibliography.
