Estimation of the general population and children under five years of age in France exposed to magnetic field from high or very high voltage power line using geographic information system and extrapolated field data
Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier Inc..
BACKGROUND: The effects of extremely low-frequency magnetic fields, especially their long-term health effects, including childhood leukaemia, remain elusive. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified the exposure to magnetic fields >0.4 μT as 'possibly carcinogenic to humans (group 2 B)' for childhood leukaemia. However, the number of exposed individuals, particularly children, remains poorly documented in international literature. The objective of this study was to estimate the number of individuals living near a high or very high voltage line in France (≥63 kV), among the general population and children under the age of five years.
METHODS: The estimate considered different exposure scenarios depending on the line voltage and the distance of the housing from it, and whether the line is overhead or underground. The exposure scenarios were obtained using a multilevel linear model created from a measurement database published by "Réseau de transport d'électricité", the operator of the French electricity transmission network.
RESULTS: Between 0.11% (n = 67,893) and 1.01% (n = 647,569) of the French population and between 0.10% (n = 4712) and 1.03% (n = 46,950) of children under five years of age were estimated to be living in an area potentially exposed to a magnetic field, depending on the exposure scenario (>0.4 μT and >0.1 μT, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS: By making it possible to estimate the total number of residents, schools, and health institutions near high-voltage power lines, the proposed methodology can help identify potential co-exposures near high-voltage power lines, which are regularly cited as a possible explanation for contradictory results from epidemiological studies.
