This long-term animal study exposed mice to a 50 Hz magnetic field (500 mG) prenatally and then through 15.5 months of life to assess tumor-related outcomes and fertility-related measures. Exposed mice had lower body weights and showed no increase in liver or lung tumor incidence. However, exposed female mice had a…

This prospective Dutch cohort (120,852 participants; 17.3 years follow-up) examined occupational ELF magnetic field exposure and incidence of several cancers. No associations were reported for lung, breast, or brain cancer across multiple exposure metrics. In men, high occupational exposure was associated with…
