Leukemia 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 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...
متن کاملNon-Hodgkin's lymphoma among electric utility workers in Ontario: the evaluation of alternate indices of exposure to 60 Hz electric and magnetic fields.
OBJECTIVES To examine associations between non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and exposures to 60 Hz magnetic and electric fields in electric utility workers with a series of indices that capture a variety of aspects of field strength. METHODS The study population consisted of 51 cases of NHL and 203 individually matched controls identified from within a cohort of male electric utility workers in O...
متن کاملBrain 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 کاملExposure to electromagnetic fields and suicide among electric utility workers: a nested case-control study.
OBJECTIVES This nested case-control study examines mortality from suicide in relation to estimated exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in a cohort of 138,905 male electric utility workers. METHODS Case-control sampling included 536 deaths from suicide and 5348 eligible controls. Exposure was classified based on work in the most common jobs with increased exposure...
