Are children living near high-voltage power lines at increased risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia?
In the National Cancer Institute/Children's Cancer Group case-control study of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (1989-1993), living in a home with a high-voltage wire code was not associated with disease risk. To further investigate risk near power lines, the authors analyzed distance to transmission and three-phase primary distribution lines within 40 m of homes and created an exposure i...
متن کاملInspection of High Voltage Power Lines – a New Approach
This paper presents the “Cable Crawler”, a mobile teleoperated robot to inspect high voltage power lines. Its mechanism allows riding on the topmost ground cable of high voltage power lines and crossing a set of mast tips as well as smaller obstacles autonomously and thus is not limited to just move from mast to mast. The robot consists of an aluminium chassis, six propulsion units and two spac...
متن کاملLocating Critical Lines in High-voltage Electrical Power Grids
Nowadays the issue of vulnerability and protection of critical infrastructure is attracting a great deal of attention among scientific researchers. One of the most used approaches is that of complex networks. A critical infrastructure (e.g. a power grid) is represented as a graph in which nodes represent the main components of the network (e.g. power plants or trasmission substations) and edges...
متن کاملAdult 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...
متن کاملSocioeconomic Status and Childhood Leukemia
Abstract Introduction Connection of socioeconomic status measures (such as income and education and parental addiction) to childhood leukemia are likely to vary with place and time. The aim of this study was to assess the relation between socioeconomic status and childhood leukemia. Materials and Methods a case- control study conducted on 86 case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia age 0-14 yea...
