Hoogspanningsmasten en kanker
Kans op kanker verdriedubbelt in de
buurt van hoogspanningsmasten
Deze studie is in Nederland totaal niet
onder de aandacht geweest maar Alie Kiewiet die in Australië woont tipte mij erover.
Leven binnen een straal van 300 meter van zo'n mast verdrievoudigt de kans op kanker,
schokkende resultaten naar buiten gebracht door de universiteit van Tasmania in
Australië.
Study finds possible link between
cancer and power lines
It is something that has been debated
for years; whether living next to high-voltage power lines can lead to cancer. Now an
Australian study returns what could be the best evidence yet that it can. Scientists from
the University of Tasmania looked at more than 850 patients with cancer. "They
discovered that people who lived within 300 metres of a powerline had a three-fold
increase in their risk," he said.

Hoogspanningsmasten Nee !
Wij zijn een groep bewoners uit Pijnacker
en Berkel & Rodenrijs die zich behoorlijk zorgen maken over de voorgenomen plannen van
elektriciteitsbeheerder Tennet om hoogspanningsmasten te plaatsen langs de woongebieden
Delfgauw, Oude Leede, Pijnacker en Berkel en Rodenrijs.

Childhood leukemia and magnetic
fields in Japan: a case-control study of childhood leukemia and residential
power-frequency magnetic fields in Japan.
Most of the leukemia cases in the highest
exposure category had MF levels far above 0.4 microT. Our results provided additional
evidence that high MF exposure was associated with a higher risk of childhood leukemia,
particularly of ALL.

Childhood leukemia and personal
monitoring of residential exposures to electric and magnetic fields in Ontario, Canada
The findings relating to magnetic field
exposures directly measured by personal monitoring support an association with the risk of
childhood leukemia. As exposure assessment is refined, the possible role of magnetic
fields in the etiology of childhood leukemia becomes more evident.

Acute childhood leukemias and
exposure to magnetic fields generated by high voltage overhead power lines - a risk factor
in Iran.
More children in developing countries like
Iran live close to very high voltage lines, and they experience relatively more harmful
effects from the Magnetic Fields, in comparison with children in developed countries.
Residence near very high voltage overhead power lines, in distances < or = 500 meters,
and Magnetic Fields >0.45 microT, should be considered a risk factor for the
pathogenesis of acute leukaemias in children.

Large study links power
lines to childhood cancer
Although a link between
childhood cancer and power lines has been suggested by previous studies, it has only been
associated with high exposure – those living within about 60 m of an overhead power
line.

Childhood cancer and power lines
1996 study found a 4.7-fold
incidence of childhood leukaemia when the electric component was on average 20
V/m, with power lines only a minor exposure source.

Residential exposure
to electric power transmission lines and risk of lymphoproliferative and
myeloproliferative disorders: a case-control study.
Although recognizing that
this study has limitations, the results raise the possibility that prolonged residence
close to high-voltage power lines, especially early in life, may increase the risk of the
development of MPD and LPD later.

Residential and occupational
exposures to 50-Hz magnetic fields and breast cancer in women: a population-based study.
Women with the highest occupational
exposure had an odds ratio of 1.13 (95% CI: 0.91, 1.40) when compared with those unexposed
at work. The findings suggest an association between exposure to magnetic fields and
breast cancer in women.

STUDY CITES INCIDENCE OF CANCER
NEAR POWER LINES
A study issued today by the New York State
Health Department says that children with leukemia or brain cancer are more likely than
healthy children to be living in homes where the exposure to the magnetic fields generated
by electric power lines is high.

New evidence links power lines and cancer
Overhead power lines and household
electrical appliances increase the risk of developing cancer, according to the findings of
an eight-year study into the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs).
