Marjorie,

We did a study of children diagnosed with leukaemia (ALL) and measured the
50Hz. electric field and magnetic field in their bedplaces overnight at 30
second intervals.
We found no significant differences between cases and controls concerning the
magnetic field, but a startling dose response relation between incidence and
the electric field strength. The study was published in 1996 in the European
Journal of Cancer Research, June issue.

More recently we exposed human peripheral blood lymphocytes in mu-metal
enclosed cultures to the donor's own endogenous electric field overnight and
tested for viability by trypan blue exclusion. This showed a 70 percent
viability. The controls (no endogenous electric field) and sham-exposed (same
gold wire feed, but unattached to body) both showed about 50 percent
viability. When we fed a 50Hz. electric field into the lymphocyte cultures
(same power density, same period of exposure, same temperature etc.
conditions) the viability fell to 40 percent. These studies suggest that 50
Hz. electric fields adversely affect human peripheral blood lymphocytes, (not
the magnetic component).

We will present the lymphocyte results at BEMS in June.

Maybe you will be there in Florida?

Best, Roger Coghill
