Does anyone have or know of any scientific studies showing a correlation between EMFs and ill health? In particular those from 50/60Hz power systems.

I don't think there's any scientific studies that prove anything one way or the other. There does appear to be some evidence that maybe a handful of people are sensitive to EMF from power lines but I don't think I would call it proof.

I have never seen anything and I have actually looked. What there is is a bunch of anecdotal evidence but actual scientific studies seem to be non-existent. The problem with something like EMF is it is ubiquitous. It is everywhere. It is like trying to decide if air is bad for you or not. How do you stop people from being exposed to air so you can have a control group?

you make a good point. But you can still measure EMFs.

Karl Riley invented the gaussmeter and wrote the book on EMFs. Get his book before you go any further.

He did a video on high readings of EMFs, nearly all are caused by improper wiring by electricians. It's on you tube, tracing emfs

Do have a PDF of his book?
I'd be curious to know how his theories compare with mine on reducing EMF.

Seems like I heard of Dairy Farmers not getting as much milk from cows due to certain EMF's .

Typically stray voltage from the multi grounded neutral. It should be in every code, standard and law that a current carrying conductor be earthed not more than once.

Is book is copyright protected. You will need to find his book on the used market. His work is not a theorey as you can see when you watch the video.
Let me know when you have read his book. Until then I will close this post,otherwise its just conjecture
