ICBE-EMF has published an interview with David Carpenter on evidence linking long-term magnetic-field exposure near power lines and substations to childhood leukemia. Carpenter argues that policy should take account of long-term low-level exposures, not only short-term acute effects.

"The evidence that magnetic fields increase the risk of cancer is neither inconsistent nor inconclusive."

— David Carpenter

"Furthermore, adults are also at risk, not just children, and there is strong evidence for cancers in addition to leukemia, particularly brain and breast cancer."

— David Carpenter
