The ESC explains the shortcomings and faulty conclusions in the Preliminary Opinion on potential health effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) - Update with regard to frequencies between 1Hz and 100 kHz.
Exposure to magnetic fields and childhood leukemia: a systematic review and meta-analysis of case-control and cohort studies🔗
A 2023 Belgian research suggest that ELF-MF higher than 0.4 µT can increase the risk of developing leukemia in children, probably acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Prolonged exposure to electric appliances that generate magnetic fields higher than 0.4 µT like electric blankets is associated with a greater risk of childhood leukemia.
Exposure to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields and childhood cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis🔗
A 2021 Korean systematic review and meta-analysis reported that "Statistically significant associations were observed between exposure to ELF-MF and childhood leukaemia. Furthermore, the intensity of the association between exposure to ELF-MFs and childhood leukemia was high, as indicated by the dose–response effect."
