## Abstract The majority of suspected occupational risk factors for adult brain tumours have yet to be confirmed as etiologically relevant. Within an international caseβcontrol study on brain tumours, lifelong occupational histories and information on exposures to specific substances were obtained
It has been proposed that chronic exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields (MF) in occupational environments could represent a risk factor for a number of disorders. Medical and technical workers in hospitals have been reported to be exposed to relatively strong ELF fields. The pres
