Electrical wiring configurations and childhood cancer
Authors not listed · 1979
An excess of electrical wiring configurations suggestive of high current flow was found near homes of children who developed cancer in Colorado in 1976-1977.
Plain English Summary
An excess of electrical wiring configurations suggestive of high current flow was noted near the homes of children who developed cancer compared to control children in Colorado during 1976-1977. The association was strongest for children who had lived their entire lives at the same address and appeared to be dose-related. The correlation did not appear to be explained by neighborhood, street congestion, social class, or family structure.
Why This Matters
The researchers noted that the reason for the correlation was uncertain. They suggested possible effects of current in water pipes or AC magnetic fields.
