This French GEOCAP registry-based case-control study evaluated childhood acute leukemia risk in relation to residential proximity to high-voltage overhead power lines and modeled ELF magnetic-field exposure. It reports an increased risk for children under 5 living within 50 m of power lines, particularly when…

This paper presents a 3D GIS approach to model magnetic fields from overhead high-voltage power lines while accounting for terrain relief and cable catenary. The model was validated against extensive field measurements in two complex urban environments and showed good agreement with measured values, though accuracy…
Distance from residence to power line and risk of childhood leukemia: a population-based case-control study in Denmark

Jan 1, 2014
This population-based case-control study in Denmark examined whether distance from residence at birth to high-voltage overhead power lines was associated with childhood leukemia. Using GIS-based distance measures, the study did not find higher leukemia risk for children living within 0–199 m or 200–599 m of 132–400…
