Study Type		Epidemiology
Model		ELF exposure and childhood leukemia (case control study in Canada, Germany, USA, and UK)
Details		Children with leukemia (n = 1842) pooled from prior reports from Canada, Germany, USA, and UK were evaluated to assess possible correlations with nighttime ELF exposure. The authors report odds ratios for several exposure categories, including 0.1-0.2 microT (OR = 1.11; 95% CI 0.91-1.36), 0.2-0.4 microT (OR = 1.37; 95% CI 0.99-1.90), and > 0.4 microT (OR = 1.93; 95% CI 1.11-3.35). The authors conclude that the findings were similar to those comparing 24-/48-hour ELF exposures, and did not support any additional effect of nighttime exposure.
