Abstract

The objectives of this paper are the following: To present the exposure metrics (EM) of extremely-low-frequency (ELF) magnetic fields (MF): in a case-control study of childhood leukemia with 312 cases and 603 controls randomly selected from the general population in which the level was measured for one week in the children's bedrooms; in personal exposure measured for one week with a device attached to 70 children; in a designed experiment in which emission from electric appliances was measured in a lattice-like manner in 10 houses. Lastly, to discuss the relation between MF mainly from power lines and personal exposure from electric appliances citing results of other studies. Correlation of the weekly average with daily average levels was strong but with spot measurements not very strong.
