In 1997, the National Academy of Sciences published a report entitled
"Possible Health Effects of Exposure to Residential Electric and Magnetic
Fields." Their conclusion was that there was "no conclusive and consistent
evidence shows that exposures to residential electric and magnetic fields
produce cancer, adverse neurobehavioral effects, or reproductive and
developmental effects."
