Danger Of Strong Electromagnetic Fields

Posted by Hemos on from the always-knew-it-was-something dept.

blueworld writes "U.S. Department of Energy researchers have discovered a possible cause for reported illness around high voltage power lines. They found that rats' bodies produced high levels of ozone when exposed to strong electrical fields. Electrically grounded water produced the same result when exposed to the fields. Apparently, the water in our bodies may be responsible for the health risks of high voltage power lines."

    The answer to the hole in the ozone layer is to install high-tension power lines in Antartica and tape millions of rats to the lines?
