Noted epidemiologist, Sir Richard Doll, chairman of the National Radiological Protection Board's (NRPB) Advisory Group on Non-ionising Radiation (Agnir) says that more research is needed but there is evidence that the leukemia rates for children living near power lines appears to be higher than it is for those who do not live in these areas. The report indicates that ions which react with oxygen and nitrogen in the air may allow pollutants to enter human cells more easily, and these ions are present around certain common types of power lines in Great Britain. Sir Richard is noted to be the researcher who found the link between smoking and lung cancer during the 1960's and is one of the most respected authorities in his field. In his opinion the risk is slight, but still significant enough that researchers can not ignore it. Earlier research at Bristol University found similar risks, and a university source stated in a 1999 report that, "The study has serious implications for the electricity industry, which could face huge compensation claims and pressure to move its pylons." The current findings seem to be supportive of this same conclusion, and could have a major impact financially on the electrical power industry in Great Britain. There are studies dating back over 20 years that substantiate the conclusions of the current report, however in most cases they indicate such slight risk that they have been ignored by the courts and power companies when individuals file damage claims. Originally these reports indicated that living near electromagnetic fields (EMF's) generated by high voltage lines was the culprit, but now the findings are more specific and link the risk instead to the previously mentioned ions. For those of us living near or especially "under" these lines, the concern is great, regardless of the degree of risk. Individuals in this situation, at the bare minimum, should find out the facts and make an assessment of their situation. Only by knowing the facts can reasonable decisions be made. {There are indications that anamolous phenomena can take place at or near high power junctions and coils; it is more likely that the power companies will keep cancerous effects following electrical anamolies under wraps for fear of public reprisal - even more so than the Catholic Church trying to protect its pedophile priests - because the electric companies have far more to lose. Please see the "Hutchison Effect" as the discovery of high power electro-magnetic anamolies that the electric industry is trying to cover up as an indicator of a health hazard. The CEO's at PG&E, ConEd, and G.E. would more likely have us believe in ghosts.} Released 6 March 2001 Anyway, the real cover up is that it is the electric component not the magnetic which causes the damage, and Henshaw's hypothesis also invokes the electric rather than the magnetic field. (see his site and evaluation of powerline risks at https://www.electric-fields.bris.ac.uk). The power utilities have known this for several decades and have skillfully avoided funding research into that component by equipping would-be epi researchers with EMDEX instruments which do not measure the electric field. If media sleuths wish to test this assertion they should ask Sir Richard why the electric field data he collected so reluctantly during the UKCCCR study has still not been published a year and a half after its analysis. The NRPB have analysed this data, and found a devastatingly strong dose-response relationship with childhood leukemia, just as we did in 1996, when we reported it in the European Journal of Cancer Prevention. For those of us living near or especially "under" these lines, the concern is great, regardless of the degree of risk. Individuals in this situation, at the bare minimum, should find out the facts and make an assessment of their situation. Only by knowing the facts can reasonable decisions be made. MONDAY MARCH 12 2001 Live and extremely dangerous A study last week linked power lines to leukemia. Physicist Denis Henshaw says they also cause skin cancer, lung cancer, depression and 60 suicides a year. {Interview by Anjana Ahuja} Knowing what he knows, Denis Henshaw says he would never live in a house near overhead power lines. A physics professor at Bristol University, he has been studying the health effects of power lines since 1994. Last week, one of the issues he has championed for years - the link between childhood leukemia and power lines - finally came out into the open. The National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) concluded that exposure to magnetic fields may double the chances of a child developing the disease. While welcoming the report, Henshaw says that the focus on childhood leukemia, which is extremely rare, is a smokescreen that has served to conceal the real perils of power lines. He estimates that power lines notch up the following grim tally each year: eight cases of childhood leukemia, 14 cases of skin cancer, up to 400 cases of lung cancer, several thousand cases of illnesses associated with air pollution (such as respiratory disease, allergies and aggravated asthma), 9,000 cases of depression and 60 suicides. The vast majority of these cases, he says, are caused by electrical effects, not by the magnetic fields that were under investigation by the NRPB. "These are figures comparable to the number killed on roads," says Henshaw, 54, whose smart appearance makes him look more like a company executive than a heretical professor. "But road deaths are spread throughout the country, while only one in 50 of the population lives under power lines. So the rate of casualty here is 50 times greater than the risks of being on the road." He wants to see planning laws frozen so that no more homes are built near power lines, and new cables are strung up as far as practicable from populated areas or, where possible, buried. He argues that although there may be no absolute causal proof yet, the correlation's are so strong and the biological mechanisms so plausible that there should be a program of "prudent avoidance". He says: "To say we need another ten years of research means we will go precisely down the BSE route." The Department of Health is listening - its officials have met him and seen his experiments - but his views have largely been ignored or rubbished. The electricity industry has accused him of scaremongering. He is not bothered: "People who accuse you of scaremongering are those who don't want the truth to come out. The utility companies can never admit in public that there is an effect, because that would be admitting liability." But he is bothered by the personal abuse sometimes leveled at him. It is easy to compare him to Richard Lacey, the scientist who foresaw that BSE could infect human beings, and to Sir Richard Doll, who first posited the link between smoking and lung cancer, which was decried for decades by tobacco companies. "It's exactly the same problem," he agrees. "He (Doll) was described as a young upstart and suffered other terms of abuse not terribly different from those used against us. The industry has written stinking letters about me, but thankfully the university has stood by me. I have been libeled on a number of occasions. We have had to remind people that we will take action against them." The NRPB has offended him three times; on each occasion he has received an apology. He will not be pressed on the precise nature of the abuse, but says that the NRPB once claimed that his assessments of risk were coloured by the need to win research funds. He adds, somewhat indignantly, that his funds from the Medical Research Council and the Department of Health have been won through the normal process of academic assessment. The Foundation for Children with Leukemia has also supported his work. Ironically, the latest NRPB report suggests that Henshaw's work is worth further investigation. Yet the organisation has never consulted him personally on power lines and health, which he finds "extraordinary"." Dr Michael Clark, from the NRPB, says: "Professor Henshaw is a perfectly reputable scientist who has an interesting and plausible hypothesis. But it is a long way from that to a demonstrable health effect." The dominant effect of the magnetic field, Henshaw says, is in influencing mood. His survey of existing data leads him to the figure of 60 suicides a year, as well as thousands of cases of depression. "There have been papers on this for 20 years," he says. "What strikes me is that they all show positive correlation's and are not conflicting in any way. This is considered biologically plausible - one mechanism is that magnetic fields disrupt the production of melatonin in the body, which regulates mood. Another is that magnetic fields induce electrical currents in the brain, which create an electrical imbalance. "Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland at night. Populations living near these things are obviously sleeping near them, and they show striking effects. Utility company workers show lower effects but they are exposed during the daytime, so that's what you would expect." He rejects the popular claim that people who live near power lines are depressed for other reasons, perhaps because they simply don't like living near them, or because they tend to belong to lower income groups. But Henshaw and his colleague, Dr Peter Fews, say that the gravest physical health problems stem from the electrical fields bathing power lines. In 1996 they reported that cables from domestic appliances, such as hairdryers, acted like magnets for radioactive substances. These substances were formed by the natural decay of radon in the atmosphere into so-called radioactive "daughters". The implication was that radioactive products were attracted to oscillating electrical fields. "Nobody seemed to spot the importance of that," says Henshaw. "The importance is that these substances, which are known carcinogens, can land on you. When you stand under a power line, the electrical field distorts around you because you are a conductor. These pollutants are oscillating back and forth around you at 50Hz and they can land on you. Applying the NRPB's own risk factors, you can predict an increase in skin cancer." He found that if a person spent 10 per cent of his time close to power lines, he would be subjected to up to twice the acceptable level of radioactivity, even in windy and wet weather. "Critics said that people don't spend 10 per cent of their time near power lines, but my argument is that if they live there, they're entitled to," says Henshaw. However, radon daughters pale into insignificance next to another set of villains named by Henshaw - corona ions. High-voltage power lines produce a strong electrical field on the line itself. This field is big enough to ionise the air around it - in other words, to strip electrons from atoms. The effect is like nudging a line of dominoes: the ionisation of one atom triggers the ionisation of another, leading to a chain reaction. The result is a line of charged, highly reactive particles streaming away from the power cable. Henshaw has measured the streams as far away as several kilometers from the line. These charged particles, or corona ions, act as magnets for air pollutants, including carcinogens such as aromatic hydrocarbons from car exhausts. The electric charge gives the pollutant, when inhaled, a greater ability to stick to the lung - so rather than being exhaled, pollutants become lodged. "New York scientists have found that if there is a charge, pollutants of this size are two or three times more likely to be deposited in the lungs," he says. "In the confined space of the lungs and airways, this charge makes a big difference. "The upshot is that you are retaining air pollutants, some of which are known to be linked to lung cancer, in your lungs. You can then do a rigorous assessment for lung cancer, which I put at between 250 and 400 cases a year. There is actually a paper - not mine - that shows a doubling of lung cancer under power lines, but it hasn't been talked about." When the other effects of air pollutants, such as allergies and respiratory disease, are factored in, Henshaw estimates that corona ions probably damage a few thousand people every year. He also points out that corona ions have been known about since the Fifties, and have been studied extensively by the industry. His final analysis is simply this: there is a vast body of evidence to indicate an association between power lines and ill-health. It includes cancers and non-cancers, affects both adults and children, and the risk of ill-health is high enough to justify immediate action. This does not mean that people living near power lines should panic - the risk of death on the roads does not panic car-owners into selling their vehicles. Likewise, even if several thousand people are at risk from power lines, the probability of an individual falling ill is small. However, given the response to BSE and the rail tragedies, the refusal to acknowledge that there is a problem or to act on these statistics confounds Henshaw. "I am struck by what society accepts," he says. "The Paddington rail crash killed 31 and triggered a ©1 billion commitment to advanced train protection. Governments have to respond to risk assessment, not hide behind wanting strict causal proof. Risk assessment grounded the whole Concorde fleet. I'm saying that this is comparable. "A hundred years from now, we will look back at pylons as relics of the mid-20th century. It probably won't happen in five or ten years, but eventually a new generation will come along, change things, and wonder why we did nothing." Released 1 August 1999 A hard-hitting 5-page piece by Bob Girling in the Sunday Times Supplement today took the lid off the NRPB, WHO, and the UK establishment, largely accusing it of covering up the bio-effects of weak EM fields and radiation, and of wrongly discrediting any independent scientists who warned of EMF hazards to health. Photocopies available from this office for those who missed it! Doubtless the article will be read with interest by the Parliamentary Select Committee on Science and Technology, presently investigating the quality of information received by Government about cellphone masts. Girling's investigative journalism (e.g. his recent article on the cod fishing crisis) deserves an award. https://www.cogreslab.co.uk/pressrel.htm Released 6 July 1999 One of bioelectromagnetics' most respected scientists, Dr Robert Liburdy, of the Lawrence Berkeley laboratory, UCLA, has been nobbled by the US establishment for publishing a paper showing the importance of the ELF electric field. He was accused of falsifying data, when the only crime was to present it graphically in a more understandable style, as any good scientist would for journal readers. Power Lines, Wiring Pose Health Risks SACRAMENTO, California, July 16, 2001 (ENS) - Added risk of miscarriage, childhood leukemia, brain cancer and greater incidence of suicide are some of the health risks associated with exposure to electric and magnetic fields such as those that radiate from power lines, according to a California health department review. Released Friday under pressure from a California First Amendment Coalition lawsuit, two reports summarize and analyze a decade of research done at a cost to ratepayers of more than $7 million. Two reports by researchers from the California Department of Health Services say human population studies suggest there might be a problem from electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) from power lines, wiring in buildings, certain jobs, and appliances. On behalf of the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC), three scientists who work for the California Department of Health Services were asked to review the existing scientific literature about possible health problems from these sources. The PUC request for review did not include radio frequency EMFs from cell phones and radio towers. Three assigned scientists, a physician/epidemiologist, a geneticist/epidemiologist, and a physicist with training in epidemiology assessed the literature with the assistance of 10 other DHS scientists. It is "more than 50 percent possible" the scientists reported, that EMFs at home or at work could cause a "very small increased lifetime risk of childhood leukemia, adult brain cancer, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease." "It is more than 50 percent possible that EMFs at home or at work could cause a five to 10 percent added risk of miscarriage." "It is 10-50 percent possible that residential or occupational EMFs could be responsible for a small increased lifetime risk of male breast cancer, childhood brain cancer, suicide, Alzheimer's disease, or sudden cardiac death," the scientists wrote. All of the three reviewers give a degree of confidence of at least 10 to 50 percent possible that residential or occupational EMFs could be responsible for a small 15 increased lifetime risk of adult leukemia or female breast cancer, and one gave a degree of confidence that was higher. The reviewers compared the size of possible risks from EMFs to the size of possible risks from chemical and physical agents now being regulated. Miscarriages occur in about 10 to 15 percent of pregnancies in any case, the reviewers point out. "The theoretical added risk for an EMF exposed pregnant woman may be an additional five to 10 percent according to these two studies. If true, this would clearly be of concern to individuals and regulators." But the type of EMF exposures implicated by these two new epidemiological studies "short, very high exposures probably come from being within a few inches of appliances and indoor wiring, and only rarely from power lines," "It may not be possible to avoid all such exposures in modern life," they say. The reports are now available on the California Department of Health Services website at: https://www.dhs.ca.gov. SPECIAL REPORT: An expert panel assembled by the International Agency for Research on Cancer -the leading authority on what may cause cancer- has unanimously concluded that power-frequency magnetic fields are "possible human carcinogens." Microwave News features extensive coverage of the decision. We've talked with many of those who were in Lyon, France, as members of the IARC working group or as observers. https://www.microwavenews.com Powerlines and Health Corona Ions from Powerlines: At Bristol University we are carrying out research into powerline health effects supported by the Medical Research Council, The Department of Health and the Foundation for Children with Leukemia. We have found that the electric field associated with high voltage powerlines interacts with air pollution in ways which increase human exposure to that pollution. Implications: The potential health effects of these new observations have not been investigated in any previous studies. In particular, there has been no systematic study of illnesses, including cancer, in people living near high voltage powerlines in the UK. However, the health effects of air pollution, especially the ubiquitous motor vehicle exhaust pollution, are well documented. Meanwhile, the various reports of excess cancer cases in people living near high voltage powerlines, in Yorkshire, Cornwall and Abergavenny are of concern. Given that we have a demonstrable mechanism of increased exposure to pollution near powerlines these reports clearly warrant urgent investigation. Suggested Action: Our studies are ongoing. In the near future we propose to set up a number of fixed-site monitoring stations so that the extent of increased exposure to air pollution can be continuously assessed. At the same time we suggest that Local Health Authorities and the Department of Health take steps to investigate the various reports of increased cancer incidence in those living near powerlines.
