Those who argue that overhead power lines cause cancer received a boost of support recently when the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) released the results of an eight-year study into the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs). Conducted in Great Britain and San Francisco, the study suggests that EMFs, produced by overhead power lines, increase the risk of cancer in children and the incidence of miscarriage in pregnant women.

Although the full report isn't expected to be released to the public for a few months, details of its findings began circulating in late August when a leaked copy surfaced on an online news site. According to information that has been released, however, the study claims that EMFs increase the risk of childhood leukemia, adult brain cancer, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease.
