Model Occupational radiofrequency exposure (as well as ELF and ionizing radiation) to workers and correlation with neuroblastoma in their offspring
Details

Workers (n=538) occupationally exposed to electromagnetic fields (including ELF, RF, and ionizing radiation) were analyzed for neuroblastoma in their children (ages 0 – 19 yrs). No significant association was observed with maternal occupational exposure to RF. A non-significant trend was observed for mobile phone use based on only 7 exposed mothers (OR 2.1, 95% CI 0.4 - 11.0)
