Adult onset acute myelogenous leukemia and electromagnetic fields in Los Angeles County: bed-heating and occupational exposures.
In a large matched population-based case-control study of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), we did not find incident AML in Los Angeles County (1987-1994) to be associated with previous exposure to electric blankets, electrically heated waterbeds, or occupations with presumed high exposure to electromagnetic fields.
