Prolonged exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) from electricity power lines doubles the risk of childhood leukemia, according to a 3-year study carried out by six senior epidemiologists from major institutions around the world, who are part of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). Childhood leukemia, which develops in the bone marrow, accounts for one third of all childhood cancers.

In the UK about 0.4% of children are exposed to high EMF levels, and more than 23,000 homes there are located near power lines. While all homes are exposed to low level EMFs from electrical wiring and domestic appliances, there is no evidence that these levels are high enough to cause the disease.

More than a dozen studies in the United States, Brazil, Europe, Mexico, South Korea and Taiwan have linked smog to low birth weight, premature births, stillbirths and infant deaths. But the latest research found that women exposed to high levels of ozone and carbon monoxide were three times more likely than others to have babies with cleft lips and palates and defective heart valves. They found that the greatest risk occurs during the second month of pregnancy, when a fetus develops most of its organs and much of its facial structure.
