Electric and magnetic field measurements in an indoor electric power substation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the electric and magnetic fields in an indoor electric power substation 132/11.5kV in Cyprus and concluded that safe public and occupational exposure to these fields is achievable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological effects related to geomagnetic activity and possible mechanisms.
TL;DR: The possible involvement of melatonin and protein coding by the CG8198 gene in the biological effects of geomagnetic activity are discussed and the utility of cryptochrome as a biological detector of Geomagnetic storms is discussed.

Electrical wiring configurations and childhood cancer
Nancy Wertheimer,Ed Leeper +1 more
TL;DR: An excess of electrical wiring configurations suggestive of high current-flow was noted in Colorado in 1976--1977 near the homes of children who developed cancer, as compared to the homesof control children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Case-control study of childhood cancer and exposure to 60-hz magnetic fields
TL;DR: The results encourage further examination of the carcinogenic potential from this form of nonionizing radiation, and are nonresponse, differential mobility of cases and controls, and a presumably nondifferential exposure misclassification from the use of imperfect surrogates for long-term magnetic field exposure history.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic fields and cancer in children residing near Swedish high-voltage power lines
Maria Feychting,Anders Ahlbom +1 more
TL;DR: A case-control study was conducted to test the hypothesis that exposure to magnetic fields of the type generated by high-voltage power lines increases cancer incidence in children and found no support for an association.

Exposure to Residential Electric and Magnetic Fields and Risk of Childhood Leukemia
Stephanie J. London,Duncan C. Thomas,Joseph D. Bowman,Eugene Sobel,Tsen-Chung Cheng,John M. Peters +5 more
TL;DR: The relation between exposure to electric and magnetic fields in the home, as assessed by measurements, wiring configuration, and self-reported appliance use, and risk of leukemia was investigated in a case-control study among children from birth to age 10 years in Los Angeles County, California as discussed by the authors.

Adult Cancer Related to Electrical Wires Near the Home
Nancy Wertheimer,Ed Leeper +1 more
TL;DR: Like childhood cancer, adult cancer was found to be associated with high-current electrical wiring configurations (HCCs) near the patient's residence, which is consistent with a hypothesis of cancer promotion produced by AMF exposure.
