Assessing the effects of underground mining activities on high-voltage overhead power lines

Adult cancers near high-voltage overhead power lines.

BACKGROUND Extremely low-frequency magnetic fields are designated as possibly carcinogenic in humans, based on an epidemiologic association with childhood leukemia. Evidence for associations with adult cancers is weaker and inconsistent. METHODS We conducted a case-control study to investigate risks of adult cancers in relation to distance and extremely low-frequency magnetic fields from high...

genotoxic effects of electromagnetic fields from high voltage power lines on some plants

allium cepa bulbs were germinated in pots for three days on treatment area on which 380 kv high voltage power lines are passing. ten bulbs were set up for each treatment area (0 m (meter), 10 m, 25 m, 50 m and 100+ m for control from power lines). triticum baeoticum boiss. subsp. baeoticum seeds were collected at same distance from power lines on planted field. ten seeds from each area were ger...
