In a collaborative study led by IARC’s Section of Environment and Radiation and the Danish Cancer Society Research Center, published online in Blood Cancer Journal, researchers investigated whether exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields (50/60 Hz), as occurs for instance in the vicinity of high-voltage power lines, increases the risk of relapse in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) or has an impact on their survival probability.
