Abstract
Health hazards to persons from prolonged exposure to high power fields, and specifically to X-ray radiation in such fields in the etiology of leukemia and other forms of cancer, are eliminated by preventive monitoring to detect corona indicating existence of ionization fields, and by coating cable and support structures with a material comprising low molecular number (Z) elements in carriers such as polymers in amorphous or molded forms to absorb energy and prevent X-ray formation. Shields of relatively high Z elements in polymer bases are provided to confine potential X-ray sources due to arcing at switch contacts.
