Article: Lymphoma risk does not rise with chronic exposure to 50 Hz magnetic fields.

2004 OCT 26 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Lymphoma risk does not rise with chronic exposure to 50 Hz magnetic fields.

"Some epidemiological studies suggest that exposure to 50 or 60 Hz magnetic fields might increase the risk of leukemia, especially in children with a comparable high residential exposure.

"To investigate this possibility experimentally, the influence of 50 Hz magnetic-field exposure on lymphoma induction was determined in a mouse strain that is genetically predisposed to this disease. The AKR/J mouse genome carries the AK virus, which leads within 1 year to spontaneous development of thymic lymphoblastic lymphoma," investigators in ...
