Summary:

This is a case-control study that looked into the association between childhood leukaemia and exposure to ELF-MF. A total of 745 cases were matched to 1475 controls. The ELF-MF exposure was determined via measurements in the child’s bedroom. Analyses using arithmetic mean of the magnetic field readings found an odds ratio (OR) of 1.87 (95% CI = 1.04-3.34) for exposure within 0.1-0.2 µT; however the analyses for exposure of more than 0.2 µT did not find a statistically significant OR.
