Hello Linda Statham,
Thank you for providing Gov. Roy Barnes FAX address in Atlanta.
His office indicated that there was no email address other
than the web site. An attempt to paste the letter there met with
no success.
The following letter was Faxed to him this evening.
Sincerely,
Ed Maxey

Mr. Roy Barnes
Governor
State of Georgia
Dear Governor Barnes:
The Georgia Transmission Corp. is about to build
a transmission line along the Little River. One
Linda Statham emailed her concerns about possible
pollution of the water supply to Roy Beavers. He
in turn posted her emailing on his list service.
Let me express concern about the carcinogenicity
emanating from the magnetic fields of such
transmission lines.
There is a greater than 5,570 to one probability
that 60 Hertz magnetic fields in excess of 0.67
milligauss are causal to childhood acute
lymphoblastic leukemia.
The proof of this statement comes from a July 1997
paper in the New England Journal of Medicine
(Residential Exposure to Magnetic Fields and Acute
Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Children by Martha S.
Linet et. al.) On page five one finds that only 267
out of 624 cases of ALL came from abodes with less
than 0.67 milligauss ambient magnetic field.
If 0.67 mG were the median ambient household magnetic
field in the United States the probability of chance
alone accounting for only 267 cases deriving from
abodes or under 0.67 mG is one in 5,570. Stated
differently, this paper shows a 5,570 probability
that magnetic fields greater than 0.67 mG are causal
to childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
The actual United States median residential 60 Hertz
magnetic field is 0.5 mG according to a 1,000 home
study by the Electric Power Research Institute.
Hence, the actual probability of such magnetic fields
causing leukemia is much higher than 5,570 to one.
Other research suggests that brain, breast and
testicular cancer may be related to 60 Hz magnetic
fields.
Let me strongly urge that people not be allowed to
live alongside this transmission line wherever magnetic
fields in excess of 0.5 mG will be generated.
Very truly yours,
E. Stanton Maxey, M.D.
