Several epidemiological investigations have suggested an increased incidence of lymphoma, leukemia, and brain tumor in residents living near power transmission lines. However, some observers failed to confirm such a positive correlation. To evaluate the effects of extremely low frequency (ELF) magne
## 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
One hundred subjects, males and females with ages ranging between 18 and 48 years, were studied under both field-exposed and sham-exposed conditions. A 50 Hz, 100 mu T magnetic field (MF) was used. To examine the effect of field exposure on performance, a two-alternative, forced-choice, duration-dis
