Occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and sex-differential risk of uveal melanoma

Abstract: Although based on a low prevalence of exposure to potential occupational sources of EMF, our data indicate that exposed dark-eyed women may be at particular risk for uveal melanoma.

“…While in these industries, workers may be exposed to several possible carcinogenic agents, the observed excess risks were not explained by exposure to EDC. In conclusion, taking into account our previous inconsistent findings on a possible association between hormonal factors and uveal melanoma (14,17,19), the present study does not support the hypothesis that hormonal influences are an important factor in the aetiology of these tumors.…”

“…The detailed study methods of the Study of Occupational Causes of Rare Cancers of Unknown Aetiology have been described elsewhere (16,17). Briefly, the study population comprised the national populations of Denmark and Latvia; the population of certain administrative regions in France, Germany, Italy, and Sweden; hospital recruitment areas in Spain and Portugal; and a small non-representative sample from an eye clinic in the UK.…”

“…이를 단순히 일반인의 거리 인식이 잘못되었다고 간주하기 보다는 보 건의료기술 평가의 궁극적인 목적이라고 할 수 있는 위 험 커뮤니케이션 측면에서 일반인의 위험 인식이 다를 수 있음을 이해하는 것이 필요하다. 또, 일반인들의 고압 송전탑 및 송전선과 거주지 간 거리 예측 값은 역학 연구 에 있어 극저주파 자기장 노출량의 대용물(proxy)로 사용 하고 있어, 이에 대한 검증이 필요한 상황이다 [13] . [15] .…”

“…[20], [21] . 하지만 극저주파 자기장의 노출량을 직접 24시간 측정하는 데에는 상당한 시간과 비용이 소요되고, 가용한 지리정보시스템이 없을 경우, 설문조사를 통해 고압 송전탑 및 송전선 간 거리를 확인 하여 이를 기존에 고압 송전탑 및 송전선 간 이격거리에 따라 알려진 극저주파 자기장 측정치와 함께 고려하여 극저주파 전자기장의 노출량을 추정하는 방법이 최선일 것이다 [13] . 현재 고압 송전탑 및 송전선 건설의 갈등을 완화시키 고, 극저주파 자기장에 대한 신체적 위해를 예방하기 위 하여 고압 송전탑 및 송전선과 거주지 간 이격거리를 설 정하는 방법을 주로 사용하고 있다 [7] .…”

“…In an exploratory study, agriculture and farming work was associated with uveal melanoma, but specifi c exposure to a group of chemicals could not be clearly identifi ed [ 70 ]. Other agents that have been investigated include electromagnetic fi elds [ 71 ], endocrine-disrupting chemicals [ 72 ], pesticides [ 73 ], artifi cial hormones [ 74 ], and mobile phones [ 75 ]. Additionally, no association between season of birth and uveal melanoma has been found [ 76 ].…”
