.........Folks, I am forwarding this to the full EMF-L list because
it may be desirable for our readers to know about the kind of answers
that are now being given by the "establishment" health community.....
They seem to be primarily basing their "much out of date" advice on the
infamous Linet study -- cited below as the proof that proximity to
power lines is O.K........ God help us.......
Cheerio..... (More guru comments below...)

Mr. Beavers,
Thank you for responding so quickly. Can you provide additional
information?
We spoke with the chief of the oncology department at Scottish Rite
Children's Hospital here in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. He stated that there was
no danger.
We also received information from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society - they
concurred. Further, they stated,
"I would like to refer you to a Research Update, February, 1998 which is on
our website and which addresses this issue:
The Society's Research Update - 2/98, states the following:
Study Finds Electromagnetic Fields Do Not Raise Children's Leukemia Risk.
A comprehensive study by researchers from the National Cancer Institute and
the Children's Cancer Group found no evidence that electromagnetic fields in
the home increase the risk for acute lymphocytic leukemia, the most common
form of childhood cancer."
[........The Linet study!!!..... No attention whatsoever to all the
criticism which showed that, in fact, the study confirmed a "proximity"
problem -- as have two recent (bigger studies) in the U.K...... This
is all covered on the website ... and in the archives......guru.....]
[.......I can only repeat my answer to your original question: I would
NOT purchase a home within as much as 300 feet from a power line of 138
kV or greater..... And, in some cases, I would avoid certain "heavy" load
distribution lines, transformers and substations.....guru.....]
[Mr. Collom, I don't believe you are being given "informed - currently
valid" information from the sources you checked with.......guru.......]
[.......Please examine the website...... We receive too many individual
questions of this type for me to review the website material, selectively,
for each individual questioner.......guru.....]
Please help
Robert Collom
