A precautionary public health protection strategy for the possible risk of childhood leukaemia from exposure to power frequency magnetic fields

摘要

BackgroundEpidemiological evidence showing a consistent association between the risk of childhood leukaemia and exposure to power frequency magnetic fields has been accumulating. This debate considers the additional precautionary intervention needed to manage this risk, when it exceeds the protection afforded by the exposure guidelines as recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
