- Journal of Cellular Physiology: Association between childhood cancers, particularly leukemia and brain cancer, and exposure to low- and high-frequency EMF suggested a causal role of 900 MHz EMFs.
- Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine: Statistically significant genetic damage in blood leukocytes of Punjab, India residents living within 300 meters of a 800–2200 MHz cell phone tower in Punjab, India. The power density in the area within 300 m from the base station exceeded permissive limits.
- International Journal of Radiation Biology: 2.45-Gz wireless devices induce oxidative stress and proliferation through cytosolic Ca²⁺ influx in human leukemia cancer cells.
- Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine: 900 MHz electromagnetic field regulates gene expression in T-lymphoblastoid leukemia.
- Archives of Medical Research: Immature rats exposed to 900-MHz electromagnetic fields suffer irreversible oxidative damage in the major lymphoid organs, polymorphonuclear leukocytes and plasma.
- British Medical Journal: Distance from home address at birth to the nearest high voltage overhead power line revealed an association with childhood leukemia. Apparent risk extends to 600 meters.
- Epidemiology: Association between magnetic fields and leukemia in children with Down syndrome suggests the possibility of a causal role for magnetic fields in the etiology of leukemia among Downs syndrome patients – who have a 20-fold higher risk of leukemia.
- Epidemiology: Increased risk of childhood leukemia among children whose mothers were exposed to the highest occupational levels of ELF-MF during pregnancy
- Epidemiology: Miscarriage risk increases with the level of magnetic field exposure, with a threshold around 16 milligauss (mG)
- Munich Medical Weekly Journal – Advances in Medicine: Low-frequency electromagnetic fields associated with infantile leukemia in the highest exposure category.
- French National Academy of Pharmacy: Risk of childhood leukemia associated with extremely low frequency EMF in the home when chronic exposure exceeds 0.4 μT.
- British Journal of Cancer: The suggested association between exposure to 50–60 Hz magnetic fields and childhood leukemia found the 0.8% of children exposed to ≥ 0.4 μT had a leukemia risk that’s unlikely due to random variability.
- Epidemiology: Risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia was elevated in children who used electric blankets, or children whose mothers used electric blankets or mattress pads during pregnancy.
- American Journal of Public Health: Epidemiologic studies showing correlations between residential magnetic field exposure and childhood leukemia identify a consistent risk that cannot be explained by random variation.
