[Occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields of extremely low frequency (with particular regard to power plants) and the health status of workers, based on a literature review].
Recently a number of studies were carried on concerning malignant neoplasms, mainly leukemia, in workers exposed to electromagnetic fields. The studies focused upon power industry workers operating transmission--distribution lines, power stations, transformer stations and distribution substations which work at power--line frequencies. A review of selected literature was prepared concentrating on the methods describing conditions of exposure to e-m ELF fields as well as on the results of epidemiological studies. Also, the results of experiments carried on in Poland based on materials accessible only to a compact group of power industry experts were presented.
