Eddie O’Gorman, chairman of the UK charity Children with Leukaemia, said: “There is now a clear case for immediate government action.
“Planning controls must be introduced to stop houses and schools being built close to high voltage overhead power lines.”
But Professor John Toy, Cancer Research UK’s Medical Director, said: “People who currently live or have lived near power lines in the past need not panic about this research. The triggers that cause childhood leukaemia are most likely a random course of events over which a parent has no control.
A spokesman from the Health Protection Agency said the study findings suggested that at least some of the increased leukaemia risk might be associated with factors other than electromagnetic fields.
Dr David Grant, of Leukaemia Research, said: “We recognise there is a lot of public anxiety and concern about living close to pylons and exposure to power-frequency magnetic fields.
“There is no reason why anyone should be advised to move house on the basis of these new results.”
There are around 7,000km of high voltage power lines involved in the transmission of electricity across England and Wales, and 21,800 steel pylons.
