  • Question 8

 

   
 

All current-carrying wires produce electromagnetic (EM) radiation, including the electrical wiring running into, through, and out of our homes. High frequency EM radiation is thought to be a cause of cancer; the lower frequencies associated with household current are generally assumed to be harmless. To investigate this, researchers visited the addresses of children in the Denver area who had died of some form of cancer (leukemia, lymphoma, or some other type) and classified the wiring configuration outside the building as either a high-current configuration (HCC) or as a low-current configuration (LCC). Here are some of the results of the study.
