Indications have been found that leukaemia is more prevalent among adults who live near such power lines. One possible explanation for this could be the exposure to the magnetic fields generated by the power lines. In the workplace, where exposure to magnetic fields can be higher than in residential areas, studies have also indicated that exposure may increase the risk of leukaemia, but also a number of other types of cancer and neurological diseases. … https://www.healthcouncil.nl/latest/news/2022/06/29/additional-argument-in-support-of-precautionary-policy-for-overhead-power-lines
