إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Information Minister Jamal Jarrah dismissed health concerns on Wednesday over the controversial high-voltage power lines to be installed above the North Metn town of Mansourieh stressing that the electricity plan will be implemented and the lines will be installed.

Talking to reporters after a wave of protests by residents rejecting the installation, he said: “The Cabinet decision to implement the electricity plan is final. The security forces are tasked to follow up on the installation, assaulting them can only lead to chaos.”

The Minister stressed saying that according to “studies have proved that there is no harm from the high voltage lines. The standards we have committed to in the Mansourieh issue are higher than European standards.”

“The state has previously offered to buy apartments from those who consider themselves harmed but didn’t receive a single request in this regard," he said.

Actually most studies couldn't set a direct link of cause and effects between the power lines Electromagnetic Field and higher rates of leukemia incidence in children living near them.
There are some interesting and credible documentation on YouTube and the internet that clarifies this matter.
Don't get me wrong am not defending the government but just stating what science has discovered.
