“…In the cohort study conducted by Feychting et al 49 , small aug� mented risk was observed, although not statistically significant, among men in the most exposed categories. When the analysis was performed among women, there was no increase in RR.…”

“…In two of them 49,51 , risk was just higher when analysis was restricted to men, with RR of 2.3 (95% CI: 1.6 -3.3) and 2.4 (95% CI: 1.1 -5.2), res� pectively. In the third, augmented risk was found among men and women, with RR of 4.0 (95% CI: 1.4 � 11.7) for the category of higher exposure (> 0.53 µT) 50 .…”

Este estudo foi financiado pela ANEEL -Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica. AbstractSince an epidemiologic report, in 1979, showed an association between childhood leukemia and exposure to magnetic fields, concerns over the subject have grown, and several other studies have been published. The main goal of this literature review is to present the methods of exposure assess� ment and the main difficulties in measuring exposure, and also to report the results of epidemiological studies published along the past ten years. The lack of biophysical mechanisms explaining the interaction between magnetic fields and health, and the difficulties regarding exposure assessment have been the main obstacles of research in this area. Leukemia and brain tumors are the most evaluated outcomes. Childhood leukemia has been the most consistently outcome associated with magnetic field exposure. Recent studies have also shown an association between magnetic fields and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

“…Subsequent cohort studies have then provided evidence that long-term occupational exposure to higher ELF-MF intensities (>0.2 µT) also increased risk of AD 2.3-fold (Qiu et al, 2004), alongside that of AD mortality (Savitz et al, 1998;Feychting et al, 2003).…”

The present chapter deals with that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that has lower energy and longer wavelengths than the infrared, including the extra low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields from electricity and radiofrequency (RF) fields used in communication. The energies at these frequencies are not sufficient to directly break chemical bonds, and the question to be examined is whether they have sufficient energy to cause human disease by other mechanisms, particularly at intensities that do not cause measurable heating. Present research indicates a consistent pattern of elevated risk of cancer, especially leukemia, and some neurodegenerative diseases at ELF magnetic field levels commonly found in residences and occupations. The relationship between childhood magnetic field exposure and brain cancer is also reviewed. Human studies and meta‐analyses of research of mobile phone use show a consistent and elevated risk of brain cancer and acoustic neuroma upon intense and long‐term use. International and national standards of human exposure to ELF and RF frequencies are presented and found to be inadequate for the protection of human health. The evidence of human harm from excessive exposure to both ELF and RF is stronger and more consistent for cancer and neurodegenerative diseases than is commonly recognized. While there is less strong reproducibility and consistency for some other proposed health outcomes, this indicates only the need for more research with better exposure assessment.
