Magnetic fields and cancer.
In 1979 Wertheimer and Leeper developed their W-L wire code, based on power line construction, size, and distance from a residence, as a surrogate for residential magnetic field exposure (1). This W-L wire code was applied to data from a 1988 Denver study, and an association was reported between "high" W-L wire code and childhood cancer (2). The authors of "Childhood Cancer in Relation to a Mod...
متن کاملWire codes, magnetic fields, and childhood cancer.
Childhood cancer has been modestly associated with wire codes, an exposure surrogate for power frequency magnetic fields, but less consistently with measured fields. We analyzed data on the population distribution of wire codes and their relationship with several measured magnetic field metrics. In a given geographic area, there is a marked trend for decreased prevalence from low to high wire c...
متن کاملMagnetic Fields Ignorable Magnetic Fields Non Ignorable Magnetic Fields Important Magnetic Fields Dominant
Magnetic fields are considered to be dominant when εB ≥ εK , being εB = B /8π the magnetic energy density and εK = 1/2ρθ 2 the rotation energy density, for a conventional moderate B= 1 μG. They are considered to be negligible when εB < εK for B ∼ 10μG. With no assumption and no theoretical calculation, we show that magnetic fields cannot be ignored in the outer parts of a galaxy like the Milky ...
متن کاملReduction of photon contamination in electron therapy of cancer with magnetic fields
Introduction: Photon contamination is a restriction on treatment with electron that increase dose to healthy tissue below the tumor. The aim of this study is to reduce the photon contamination using a magnet system. Materials and Methods: A mini-applicator equipped with two neodymium boron permanent magnets was designed which make it possible to adjust the d...
متن کاملMagnetic fields and cancer: animal and cellular evidence--an overview.
A few animal studies on the possible carcinogenic effect of magnetic fields have been published. They have been designed to reveal a possible tumor promotion obtained by applying continuous or pulsed alternating fields at flux densities varying between 0.5 microT and 30 mT on mice or rats initiated with different initiators. One study with 2 mT applied on DMBA-initiated mice may suggest a copro...
