We all know about electrocution, used to execute murderers. No one has ever died from magnetocution, however, and static magnets are now a proven pain relieving agent used by millions across the globe. So to put up the argument that very few homes are likely to have magnetic fields above 0.4 microTesla, (the alleged threshold for elevated childhood cancer incidence), ignores the possibility that it is the electric field from powerlines and appliances more likely to damage life processes. Yet this is exactly what the HPA have just done in their latest spin of the results derived from an analysis of the UKCCS measurements (Maslanyj, MP, Mee TJ and Allen SG, Investigation and Identification of Sources of Residential Magnetic Field Exposures in the United Kingdom Childhood Cancer Study (UKCCS). HPA-RPD-005. ISBN 0-85951-564-8. Available to download from HPA website at

Where are the ELF electric field comparables? And why doesn't the NGT or its distribution companies ever measure these for concerned occupants, despite three epi studies consecutively reporting elevated cancer levels when the electric field exposure is above 20 V/m?
