ELF-001Retrieval lead
Residential magnetic fields and childhood cancer
The reported finding
Affirmative childhood-leukaemia strand identified in discovery dossier.
Reading it carefully
Retrieve original exposure categories and estimates before numerical use. ELF findings are not RF findings.
Inside the study
Exposure conditions
Calculated residential power-line magnetic fields.
Design & controls
Swedish case-control study.
The protection question raised
Does the original residential magnetic-field analysis support the reported childhood-leukaemia association? Exposure categories and estimates remain to be verified; this power-frequency retrieval lead cannot establish an RF hazard.
