Korean scientists have found that regions near AM radio-broadcasting towers had 70 percent more leukemia deaths than those without.

The study, to be published in an upcoming issue of the International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, also found that cancer deaths were 29 percent higher near such transmitters.
