Jan 1, 2025
This French GEOCAP registry-based case-control study evaluated childhood acute leukemia risk in relation to residential proximity to high-voltage overhead power lines and modeled ELF magnetic-field exposure. It reports an increased risk for children under 5 living within 50 m of power lines, particularly when…

Jan 1, 2025
This multi-hospital case-control study (n=316) examined associations between use of common household electrical appliances emitting ELF EMF and tumour risk. Most devices showed below-unity odds ratios, while computer screen and microwave oven use showed slightly increased odds with wide confidence intervals.…
Extremely low-frequency magnetic fields of transformers and possible biological and health effects
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2014
This study measured leakage extremely low-frequency (ELF) magnetic fields around a transformer located on the bottom floor of a three-floor apartment building in Istanbul. The measurements were evaluated against international exposure standards, and the authors report exposures higher than the IARC threshold magnetic…
