Irvine business owners fight SCE electrical substation

"Most of the company?s employees are women in their childbearing years, he said, and they were worried about radiation.

Studies have shown weak or no links between electric and magnetic fields, often referred to as radiation, and adult cancers and childhood leukemia, according to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. The agency states radiation from substations is generally ?indistinguishable from background levels? beyond the substation fence or wall.

Nonetheless, the perception of risk persists"

Really? Close to Portola Springs sage & willow community? I know there's a big dumping place like a mile away from there
