Read an article in Amar Ujala on 22nd December 2008, that briefly discussed about the risk of blood cancer/lukemia in people, especially young kids, living in homes under/near high voltage electricity lines.
As per the article, British government has prohibited construction of homes and schools within 200 feet from these lines. When will we wake up to this risk in India, where I have seen housing complexes within 20 feet from these lines and still newer projects coming up within 100 feet from power lines.
