are among the diseases that epidemiological studies have repeatedly associated with excess exposure to EMF in the environment where cancer victims lived and worked. The most notorious was the study of the incidence of cancers among persons living near high current code (HCC) wires (overhead transmission lines) compared to controls who lived near low- current-code (LCC) distribution lines in Denver, Colorado [20]. The conclusion that cancer

Research in the Department of Pediatrics College of Human Medicine, involving Biophysicists, and Electrical Engineers at Michigan State University, revealed that 60 Hz ELF- EMF exposure resulted in a dose dependent inhibition of differentiation of  Friend erythroleukemia cells with maximal inhibition peaking at 40% and 40 mG (4 µT). ELF-EMF at 10 mG (1.0 µT) and 25 mG (2.5 µT) inhibited differentiation at 0 and 20% respectively.  EMF at 1.0 (100) and 10 G (1,000 µT) stimulated cell proliferation 50% above the sham-treated cells. Investigators concluded that the

In East Lansing, Michigan measures of electricity in six homes, a school, and the Nextel cell-phone generator/antenna installed on the city water tower was revealing.

Professional Offices using modern electronic technology may want a professional assessment of the EMF environment from their power supplier, equipment and instrument manufacturers, or electrical environment specialists.  EMF could affect physiological readings and diagnosis of patients, i.e., blood pressure and blood glucose during office visits. Hospitals and electronics manufacturers have stricter IEEE electrical wiring requirements to protect instrument integrity than other locations. EMF test meters are available from electronics stores.

• Blood plasma glucose of diabetics increased as measures of electricity (millivolts and microsurges) increased in the environment of patients diagnosed with diabetes. Fasting glucose increased from 100 mg/DL to 160 mg/DL as electricity in the environment increased from 0 to 60 millivolts (mV).
• The diabetes observation was reported at the International Conference on Childhood Leukaemia, London, England, September 6-10, 2004 [9]. 

Electrical engineers and epidemiologists re-examined the EMF-cancer hypothesis by measuring the current (amperes) at the utility neutral-to-ground wire at the transformer or pole near the homes, the amperage on water lines serving the homes, and the intensity of magnetic fields in the living areas most occupied by victims who had lived in the homes. BTD  sampled 81 of the 579 cases (cancer) and control residences that were coded by Wertheimer and Leeper in 1979 [20] and by Savitz et al. in 1988 [In ref. 11].

Ground Currents in Residential Water Pipes (24-h currents of 74 Denver homes) were correlated with average spot magnetic field measures in the living areas of cancer victims. Twenty-two homes had an average current less than 0.1 A (ampere), 34 had average currents between 0.1 and 1.0 A, and 18 had average currents over 1.0 A. Water pipe currents were lowest in homes with underground wiring and appeared to be similar in all homes with overhead wiring regardless of wire code.

Possible mitigation procedures for electrical pollution include:
