Controls were men with cancers other than those of the central nervous system or leukemia. Magnetic field measurements on workers in each electrical occupation and in a random sample of occupations presumed to be nonelectrical were used to estimate magnetic field exposures for each occupation. Among men in electrical occupations, 121 leukemias were diagnosed. With the exception of electrical engineers, magnetic field exposures were higher among workers in electrical occupations than in nonelectrical occupations. A weakly positive trend in leukemia risk across average occupational magnetic field exposure was observed (odds ratio [OR] per 10 milligauss increase in average magnetic field = 1.2, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.0\u20131.5). A slightly stronger association was observed for chronic myloid leukemia, although only 28 cases occurred among electrical workers (OR 10 milligauss increase = 1.6, 95% CI = 1.2\u20132.0). The results were not materially altered by adjustment for exposure to several agents known or suspected to cause leukemia. Although not conclusive, these results are consistent with findings from studies based on job title alone that electrical workers may be at slightly increased risk of leukemia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700260105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,20]],"date-time":"2007-04-20T23:19:52Z","timestamp":1177111192000},"page":"47-60","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Exposure to magnetic fields among electrical workers in relation to leukemia risk in Los Angeles County"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Stephanie J.","family":"London","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joseph D.","family":"Bowman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eugene","family":"Sobel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Duncan C.","family":"Thomas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David H.","family":"Garabrant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Neil","family":"Pearce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leslie","family":"Bernstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John M.","family":"Peters","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.aje.a115761"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","first-page":"189","article-title":"Exposures to extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields in occupations with elevated leukemia rates","volume":"3","author":"Bowman JD","year":"1988","journal-title":"Appl Ind Hyg"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","unstructured":"BowmanJD Sobel E LondonSJ ThomasDC Pearce N PetersJM(1992):Electric and magnetic field exposure chemical exposure and leukemia risk in \u201celectrical\u201d occupations.
