520			_aA research team from Bristol University present new evidence that high voltage power lines cause cancer by making particles of pollution stick to people's lungs. Research shows that car exhaust particles get an electrical charge from nearby power lines that makes them 'sticky' meaning that people living nearby get up to three times the daily exposure of pollutants in their lungs. A scientific advisor for the Electricity Association accepts that power cables affect airborne particles, but not that the research shows there is an affect on health.
