For several months, the Association for Research and Treatments Against Cancer, ARTAC has been conducting research into the health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs). A number of studies have already shown a link between EMFs and certain cancers:

1. an increased risk of childhood cancer when the home is situated less than 600m from an overhead power line (275,000 to 400,000 volts).

2. an increased risk of brain tumours after prolonged mobile phone use (1 hour per day for 10 years).

3. breast cancer and other adult cancers (leukaemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, melanoma).

These associative links are difficult to establish due to the extended period of exposure time needed for a cancer to appear. It is thought that the carcinogenic mechanisms of EMFs could involve perturbing cellular division, possibly due to an increased production of free radicals.
