Yale has done some research in this area.  I don't offhand remember the names 
of the researchers, but they were a physicist and biologist team.  They gave 
a presentation of their work and I recall the gist of it being:

1.  The local EM fields within cells are so great that the external EM fields 
from power lines, etc. are noise in comparison.

2.  In high EM fileds, the only response observed  in mammals was increased 
sweating.  This is an acure response, I do not remember whether they were 
studying chronic exposures.
