Authored By:

Talibov M et al

Summary:

This is a nested case-control study where the association between occupational exposure to ELF-MF and electrical shocks and leukaemia was investigated. From a cohort of 14.9 million adults, a total of 5,409 acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) cases were matched with 27,045 controls. The exposure to ELF-MF and risk of electrical shocks were assessed using job-exposure matrices. The authors concluded that there is no association between occupational exposure to neither ELF-MF nor electrical shocks and AML.
