Leukemia … Another Reason to Fight TrAIL
February 18th, 2007Are you still searching for a reason to oppose the TrAIL power line through our Capon Valley?
Search no farther.
In the United States , about 2,000 children and 27,000 adults are diagnosed each year with leukemia. The incidence of leukemia is more common in men and boys than girls and women, and also more likely to occur in white people than black. Exposure to high-energy radiation (such as World War II atomic bomb explosions) and intense exposure to low-energy radiation from electromagnetic fields (such as power lines and electric appliances like electric blankets) have been linked to leukemia. Studies are being conducted to further understand this link.
I don’t know about you, but I can avoid electric blankets. How do I avoid TrAIL?
That comes from the Cancer Treatment Centers of America at www.cancercenter.com/leukemia.cfm.
Read it yourself.
