Easterside estate. Pat Turner, senior lecturer in physiotherapy at the soon-to-be University of Teesside, said:' We are delighted to help Project Easterside.' Undergrounding would screen people from electrical fields, NGC expert admits Undergrounding high-voltage electricity cables would screen the public from electrical fields which pylons protestors fear could pose health risks, a public inquiry heard this week. As anti-pylons campaigners grilled the National Grid during the second week of the Northallerton hearing, an expert witness agreed that burying cables would eliminate the field. The comment came from Dr. John Male of the National Grid Company, which wants to run a 400,000-volt overhead line from Teesside to Shipton to upgrade the existing line and link in the Enron power station being built at Wilton. Mr Chris Clayton, an electronics and electrical engineer, spent an hour quizzing Dr. Male on Thursday, which along with yesterday (Fri) was set aside for objectors to cross examine a panel of NGC witnesses. However, Dr. Male said people inside buildings were screened from electrical fields in the same way as undergrounding would screen them.
