magnetic fields can cause cancer
Exposure to EMF and cancer. Magnetic fields are classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a possible cause of cancer, particularly for childhood leukemia. However, experts agree that there may be other explanations for the potential link between exposure to EMF and childhood leukemia. Until scientific evidence can clarify the link between exposure to magnetic fields from high-voltage power lines and cancer risk, you may not want your children to play directly beneath them for long periods of time.
