Brain cancer and leukemia and exposure to power-frequency (50- to 60-Hz) electric and magnetic fields.
Concern about a possible association between cancer and electric and magnetic fields created by the generation and use of electricity first surfaced in response to the study of childhood cancer in Denver, Colorado, by Wertheimer and Leeper (1). Since then, nearly 90 epidemiologic studies of both occupational and environmental exposure have been published, and numerous reviews (e.g., references ...
متن کاملLeukemia following occupational exposure to 60-Hz electric and magnetic fields among Ontario electric utility workers.
In a nested case-control study of 1,484 cancer cases and 2,179 matched controls from a cohort of 31,543 Ontario Hydro male employees, the authors evaluated associations of cancer risk with electric field exposure and reevaluated the previously reported findings for magnetic fields. Pensioners were followed from January 1, 1970, and active workers (including those who left the corporation) from ...
متن کاملAssessing human exposure to power-frequency electric and magnetic fields.
This paper reviews published literature and current problems relating to the assessment of occupational and residential human exposures to power-frequency electric and magnetic fields. Available occupational exposure data suggest that the class of job titles known as electrical workers may be an effective surrogate for time-weighted-average (TWA) magnetic-field (but not electric-field) exposure...
متن کاملAre 50/60 Hz magnetic fields carcinogenic
Magnetic fields are present everywhere in our environment. They are commonly measured in Tesla (T), the international unit for magnetic flux density. One Tesla is a very high magnetic field. Human exposures to such high fields occur only with magnetic resonance imaging machines (MRI machines which are used for medical imaging), which produce magnetic field levels up to a few Tesla. To describe ...
متن کاملLetters to the Editor Re: "leukemia following Occupational Exposure to 60-hz Electric and Magnetic Fields among Ontario Electric Utility Workers" and "cancer Risks Associated with Occupational Exposure to Magnetic Fields among Electric Utility Workers in Ontario and Quebec,
I read with great interest the recent paper by Miller et al. (1) on the risk of leukemia among Ontario electric utility workers. Their paper appears to be an addendum to the paper published previously by The'riault et al. (2) on cancer risks among electric utility workers in Ontario, Quebec, and France. The'riault et al. presented data on the risk of occupational exposure to extremely low frequ...
