Residential magnetic fields and wire codes measured against childhood leukemia in a pooled analysis of 15 studies
Greenland S, Sheppard AR, Kaune WT, Poole C, Kelsh MA (2000) · Epidemiology
The pooled analysis reported little or no association below 0.3 µT and a summary odds ratio of 1.7 for fields above 0.3 µT relative to under 0.1 µT, estimated a U.S. population attributable fraction of about 3%, and found wire-code associations varied widely across studies.
