Research - Epidemiological - Studies of General Populations

These studies examine cancer incidences around TV and radio transmitters and other outcomes in relation to exposure to EM fields):

B) Other cancers

Dolk (1997) - all, especially leukaemia, lymphoma
Hocking (1996) - leukaemia
McKenzie (1998) - leukaemia
Michelozzi (2002) - leukaemia
Selvin (1992) - leukaemia, lymphatic, brain

C) Other studies

Robert (1999) - reproductive function
Hillert L (2002) - hypersensitivity to electric or magnetic fields
Navarro (2003) - general symptoms
Santini (2003) - general symptoms
Parslow (2003) - recall of use of phones
Westerman (2004) - peripheral nerve effects
Hutter (2006) - general symptoms
Preece (2007) - general symptoms
