Electromagnetic Field Exposure and Leukemia Mortality in the United States

Reports of excess leukemia mortality or morbidity among men employed in "electrical" occupations who have potential exposures to a wide variety of electromagnetic radiation, including 60 Hz fields, have been described for populations in Washington State 1950 to 1979, California 1959 to 196...

Zusammenfassung:	Reports of excess leukemia mortality or morbidity among men employed in "electrical" occupations who have potential exposures to a wide variety of electromagnetic radiation, including 60 Hz fields, have been described for populations in Washington State 1950 to 1979, California 1959 to 1961, Wisconsin 1963 to 1978, Massachusetts 1971 to 1973, United Kingdom 1970 to 1973, South East England 1961 to 1979, and New Zealand 1979 to 1983. A review article used a meta-analysis to compare 11 epidemiologic reports and found a statistically significant summary relative risk of 1.2 for total leukemias for the 12 electrical occupations.
