Letters to the Editor Re: "magnetic Field Exposure and Cardiovascular Disease Mortality among Electric Utility
Savitz et al. (1) recently published results of an analysis of cardiovascular disease mortality among electric utility workers in which they investigated mortality risk in relation to magnetic field exposure. They subclassified deaths from cardiovascular disease according to the death certificate codes. In particular, they considered arrhythmia-related deaths (International Classification of Di...
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 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 کاملCancer mortality among electric utility workers exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls.
OBJECTIVES To assess whether excess mortality from cancer, malignant melanoma of the skin, and cancers of the brain and liver in particular, is associated with long term occupational exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). METHODS An epidemiological study of mortality was conducted among 138,905 men employed for at least six months between 1950 and 1986 at five electrical power companie...
متن کاملRe: "Exposure to 50-Hz electric field and incidence of leukemia, brain tumors, and other cancers among French electric utility workers".
Recent studies on the association between exposure to 50- to 60-Hz fields and cancer carried out among electric utility workers have focused mainly on the magnetic field component of exposure. The authors have investigated tumor risks specifically associated with electric fields, as this exposure is distinct from magnetic fields. The study design is a case-control study nested within a cohort o...
