Paul, I've read the Factsheet you kindly provided, and as I understand it, the following two facts emerge:- 1) Long-term exposure to values above 0.3-0.4 microteslas cause a twofold increase in childhood leukaemias. 2) The level underneath powerlines is generally 20 microteslas. Thus, living under or very near a high-tension line would surely be rather unwise???
