Residents had expressed fears about radiation

The proposed magnetic train line through Mentougou district in West Beijing - the so-called S1 Line - will not pose a threat to people living along the route, according to the latest environmental evaluation report released.

The 'maglev' line, which once raised concerns about possible radiation exposure, will not harm either people living near the tracks or the environment, said the eight-page abridged report released on Monday by the China Academy of Railway Sciences (CARS) on its official website.
