IARC evaluation of ELF magnetic fields: Public understanding of the 0.4-μT exposure metric

Exposure to ambient air pollution in Canada and the risk of adult leukemia

“…Familial and genetic factors for chronic myeloid leukemia include people with Down syndrome and the Philadelphia chromosome (Zeeb and Blettner, 1998), and similarly individuals who have a family history of acute or chronic lymphocytic leukemia carry an increased risk of developing these subtypes as well (Pui et al, 2008;Redaelli et al, 2005;Belson et al, 2007). There is a suggestion that smoking (Brownson et al, 1993;Kane et al, 1999;Liu et al, 2011), exposure to extremely low-frequency electric and magnetic fields (William and Meghan, 2008), obesity (Larsson and Wolk, 2008;Dobbins and Choi, 2013), and occupational exposures to pesticides (Buffler et al, 2005;N. R. Council, 2006;Polychronakis et al, 2013) may be associated with the incidence of leukemia, but the data are not sufficient to make any definitive conclusions.…”

Exposure to extremely low and intermediate-frequency magnetic and electric fields among children from the INMA-Gipuzkoa cohort

“…All ELF-MF data presented in this study are considered background exposure, and the level is well below the threshold of 0.3-0.4 μT that has been associated with increased risks of childhood leukemia (Bailey and Wagner, 2008). We consider further research on ELF-EF and IF exposures necessary for future epidemiological studies.…”

Erradiazio ezionizatzaileko eremu elektromagnetikoen eraginak osasunean: ezagutza-egoeraz egun dakiguna

“…Ondorengo ikerketetan, batez ere, 0.3 eta 0.4 µT-ko intentsitatekoak dira umeen leuzemia linfoblastiko akutuarekin behin eta berriro [33][34][35] erlazionatu diren esposizio mailak. MOEaren prentsa-ohar batean, kalitatezko ikerketetan etxeetan dagoen maiztasun industrialeko (50 Hz) 0.4 µT-latik gorako eremu magnetikoa eta umeen leuzemiaren arteko asoziazio estatistikoa behatu zela adierazi zen [36]. Ikuspegi epidemiologikotik, ondorioztatu da minbizi-eragile izan litezkeela, harremana nahiko sendoa dela baitirudi.…”
