Associations between occupational magnetic field exposure and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), Hodgkin's disease, and multiple myeloma mortality were evaluated in 138,905 electrical utility workers. A job-exposure matrix based on measured magnetic fields was used to derive individual exposure estimates
## Background: Epidemiological studies have inconsistently demonstrated a positive relationship between magnetic and/or electric fields and leukemia. although exposure to both 60 hz electric and magnetic fields can be characterized in many ways, to date, risk assessment has been performed by using
The recently identified hepatitis G virus (HGV) is a hepatotropic RNA virus belonging to the Flaviviridae family. The virus causes chronic viremia, and exposure to blood products is a recognized route of transmission in humans. To the authors' knowledge there is scant information regarding the hepa
