When you consider the electromagnetic spectrum as an unseen part of the environment instead of stopping at the scene-spoiling structures themselves, then it follows that you must consider the radio frequency waves that they broadcast as a form of environmental pollution. That's where you start to run into serious trouble. Our bodies interact with and are affected by an invisible electromagnetic environment as well as a chemical environment. All day and night we are bathed in electromagnetic fields, known as EMFs, of varying intensities. Our light fixtures, computers, televisions, hairdryers, even the wiring in the walls of our houses emit EMFs.
Power lines crisscross our neighborhoods with extraordinarily powerful radiant energy.
No one knows exactly how this radiation affects humans over the long term. What we do know is that there has been an unexplained, epidemic rise in soft-tissue cancers since 1973. This includes a soaring increase in lymphoma, breast and prostate cancer and skin melanoma. National Cancer Institute charts for this surge effect during the '80s and '90s look like the left side of a pyramid. This could be coincidental.
