guardianunlimited.co.uk "New cancer link to power lines Paul Brown. environment correspondent Thursday September 21, 2000 New evidence that high voltage power lines cause cancer by making particles of pollution stick to people's lungs has been uncovered by a team from Bristol University. The team's research shows that car exhaust particles get an electrical charge from overhead power lines that makes them "sticky" - giving people living close to the lines two or three times the average daily dose of potentially damaging pollutants in their lungs. ..." If true, a major opportunity for environmentalists to put their mouth (and lungs) where their policies lie. Instead of reformulating gasoline, cadres of environmentalists can march in precise formation beneath HV lines while chanting emotionally charged slogans, continuously filtering exhaust particles from the air. Their selfless sacrifices will forever be fondly remembered by a grateful and quieter planet. Regards, Don
