Falmouth Onshore Ocean Wind Cables EMF & Childhood Leukemia
Massachusetts January 16, 2022
National Library of Medicine Vs WHO & ICNIRP
EMF FROM HIGH VOLTAGE LINES CAUSE CANCER
For over 40 years there have been a lot of scientific studies to determine whether EMF affects human health. Much of the scientific research examining the potential health effects of long-term EMF exposure has focused on childhood leukemia and other cancers.
Childhood leukemia and EMF: a review of the epidemiologic evidence National Library of Medicine
People who lived within 328 yards of a power line at any point up to age 15 years were three times more likely to develop cancer as an adult. Dr. David Carpenter, Dean of the School of Public Health (SUNY), believes that up to 30% of all childhood cancers come from exposure to high voltage power lines.

FALMOUTH HIGH VOLTAGE LINE "SELECTED" STUDIES ON EMF
Ocean wind turbine companies use the most recent studies by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Commission of NonIonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) --But what about all the studies in the National Library of Medicine above?
Mayflower Wind Expected Magnetic Field Levels vs. Health-Based Guideline
Magnetic Field (MF) Health-Based Guideline (ICNIRP) 2,000 mG
Directly above buried cables, in middle of beach 10 mG
Directly above buried cables, at edge of beach 10 mG
Directly above buried cable transition vault, in parking lot or street median 350 mG
Directly above buried cable duct bank, in roadway 500 mG

Notes :
1. Marthas Vineyard Cables To Falmouth for 17,000 people compared to Ocean Wind cables 600,000 people.
Ocean cables 1200 megawatt 30 times more power equal to double the output of Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant (680 MW)
2. EMF in BOEM report above Massachusetts guidelines above cables.
3. Why should a residential community be subjected to any at all increase in EMF.
Where else in the US is much power been placed through an existing residential neighborhood?
4. Cost saving through Falmouth rather than ocean cables to Fall River or Canal Power Plant.
5 Falmouth Wind Turbine bylaw 240-166 Safety & Health.
6. Host Community Agreement over 20 years only a fraction of yearly 145 million budget ( beads).
7. Residential value of homes along the route of 1200 megawatt cables up to 345,00 volts.
8 Trafic congestion during construction business losses.
9. Mitigation of EMF electric magnetic fields = shielded cable inside stainless steel conduit with SF gas
(sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆), the potent greenhouse gas commonly used to insulate and protect medium- and high-voltage electric transmission and distribution infrastructure)
10. When it comes to any type of EMF radiation, including magnetic radiation from a powerline, the more distance, the safer.
The possibility that the electric power transmission and distribution system could pose a risk for childhood cancer has been a concern for several decades. There are studies both pro and con. Why take the gamble?
