title: [The potential hazard for the development of leukemia from exposure to electromagnetic radiation (a review of the literature)].
abstract: A number of studies were reviewed which dealt with the possibility of electromagnetic field effect on the onset of leucosis in those working with electromagnetic energy and also among the population living near electric power stations and power lines. The above studies analysed 20 occupational groups at risk of leucosis. The studies were carried out in the USA, Great Britain, New Zealand and Sweden. Practically all of them demonstrated moderately elevated levels of relative risk in many occupational groups, 6 of which had the highest risk of carcinogenicity. The findings of all the studies enabled us to establish the link between the effect of electromagnetic fields and risk of leucosis onset.
