Childhood leukemia and residential exposure to weak extremely low frequency magnetic fields. 1995

M Feychting, and A Ahlbom
Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden.

There is no known mechanism by which magnetic fields of the type generated by high voltage power lines can play a role in cancer development. Nevertheless, epidemiologic research has rather consistently found associations between residential magnetic field exposure and cancer. This is most evident for leukemia in children.
