Finding

The general findings of this update confirm the conclusion of the 1975 review that it is highly improbable that electric fields from transmission lines have any significant biological effects on healthy individuals who encounter such fields in a normal way under ordinary conditions. However, further research is still needed in order to understand the nature and extent of any effects that could be harmful.
