Professor Ivan BEALE of the Auckland University has linked high tension power lines... already associated with higher rates of leukaemia among children...to asthma and depression in adults. People living within a 20m shadow of high voltage lines are three times as likely to suffer from asthma and twice as likely to have major depression. Researchers believe the danger levels drop rapidly outside the 20m zone. The study also indicates that people have a higher incidence of diabetes and are twice as likely to suffer from immune related illnesses such as allergies and dermatitis. People exposed to electromagnetic fields at work, such as industrial sewing machine operators, welders, supermarket check out operators are subjected to prolonged magnetic fields exposure. The research is to be presented to an international symposium on electricity and magnetism in Italy next month. The study will also be published in the official journal on biological effects of electromagnetic fields.
The study was conducted in Auckland suburbs with 570 households involved. The study into the effect power lines had on the nervous and immune systems revealed that adverse health effects became apparent in homes with magnetic field readings as low as 5 milligauss. One home recorded a 190mG reading. The National Radiation Laboratory recommends 1000mG as a safe level, based on guidelines???
