Residential magnetic field exposure measured against childhood leukemia in a pooled analysis of nine studies
Ahlbom A, Day N, Feychting M, et al. (2000) · British Journal of Cancer
The pooled analysis reported no increased risk below 0.4 µT and a relative risk of 2.00 for children with time-weighted average exposures of 0.4 µT or higher, a category containing 0.8% of children, while noting that selection bias could not be excluded.
What they studied
9 case-control and cohort studies, 3,203 children with leukemia, 10,338 controls
What they found
The pooled analysis reported no increased risk below 0.4 µT and a relative risk of 2.00 for children with time-weighted average exposures of 0.4 µT or higher, a category containing 0.8% of children, while noting that selection bias could not be excluded.
What it does not establish
This entry reports the study. It is not a statement about any building Sage Co. designs or constructs.
