An EU-funded project has assessed the risks of childhood leukaemia in association with exposure to extremely-low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MFs).
ELF-MFs, associated with the use and transmission of electric power, have been classified as potentially carcinogenic to humans. Epidemiological data support an association between residential exposure to ELF-MFs and childhood leukaemia.
