Question:45 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Health the studies, if any, that have been done with reference to a possible link between electromagnetic fields and cancer; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers - Electromagnetic Radiation Cancer Link.
Research and studies in this area are ongoing internationally. However, the general body of evidence to date has not established a casual relationship between electromagnetic radiation and cancer. All significant research and studies in this area are monitored by the Department of Transport, Energy and Communications. That Department has also pointed out that power line voltages and concentrations of power lines in Ireland are well below those in most industrialised countries.
