Radon and EMF Fields

[Alex Zapantis <a.zapantis@qut.edu.au>]

Hi All

I received the following message from the Australian Radiation Protection
Society listserve. If anyone can help him, please email him directly.


>I am looking for a response to the published claim by a Prof Denis Henshaw,
>Bristol University UK, that radon and radon progeny will be attracted and/or
>ionised by electromagnetic fields generated by high voltage lines which
>could lead to increased doses and could be an lead to any health effects of
>EMF fields.  I recall seeing somewhere a comment from NRPB that if there was
>any effect it was more likely to be negative because of  increased plate out.  
>
>I would be grateful for suggestions on authoritive responses or reviews of
>the claimed association between radon and EMF fields.
