Bodies such as the UK National Radiological Board and the comparable German authorities, while finding a link between ELF-EMF and cancer, have said its not worth worrying over. How can that be?
a. Europe employs on average higher voltages than does the US. Because of the physics, this means that European transmission power lines emit lower levels of magnetic fields than do US lines. Furthermore, most European countries, including the UK and Germany have prohibited the construction of transmission power lines near homes for many years. The US has no comparable restriction. As a result, only a negligible number of European homes experience high levels of ELF-EMF. However, such high-level exposures are common in the US. Accordingly, European conclusions on the low level of exposures do not apply to the US. 20. The IARC, a division of the World Health Organization has found a link between cancer and ELF-EMF. Yet, it seems extraordinarily cautious in its pronouncement of this link. Similarly, the National Radiological Board and the National Institute of Health seem to be very cautious in pronouncing the existence of a link. Why is this? a. Electricity is essential to a modern soci
