Electromagnetic fields not culprit in Australia cancer cluster

Filed under: , , ,

An independent report revealed recently that women employed at the Toowong site of ABC’s former Brisbane studios in Australia were six times more likely to develop breast cancer than other women.

The site has been vacated. And the hunt is on — for the cause of this unusually high rate of the disease.

No luck yet — but new findings, while not definitive on what has caused this cluster, do indicate exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) is not a factor — because the low frequency fields at the site were typical of other workplaces and residences, without any such cancer cluster.

Further testing will take place in an attempt to solve this on-going mystery, chronicled in the posts that follow.
