     I know that they were performing epidemiological research in this area 
     at MIT a few years back.  The technique being used was some type of 
     chromatography on DNA strands.  I would try there.

 My colleague, Prof. Michael Quastel has been showing me the
comments on power lines and health, and it occurred to me that there 
may be some value in hearing from an epidemiologist working in the 
area of radhealth. In general epidemiological findings are problematical 
for scientists with strong traditions in experimental research, because 
the list of relevant variables is usually longer than the patience or 
resources of an investigator, and because conclusions are generally 
those of association, and not, at least to purists, of causation.
