## Abstract Power‐frequency electric and magnetic fields are known to exhibit marked temporal variation, yet in the absence of clear biological indications, the most appropriate summary indices for use in epidemiologic studies are unknown. In order to assess the statistical patterns among candidate
Epidemiologic studies examining the risk of cancer among occupational groups exposed to electric fields (EF) and or magnetic fields (MF) have relied on traditional summaries of exposure such as the time weighted arithmetic or geometric mean exposure. Findings from animal and cellular studies support
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
