99) Part7 Static Electromagnetic Fields and Cancer Bibliography
61) A Ronneberg & A Andersen: Mortality and cancer morbidity in workers
from an aluminium smelter with prebaked carbon anodes -- part II:
cancer morbidity. Occup Environ Med 52:250-254, 1995.
A study of cancer in men working in an aluminum smelter. Exposure of
interest included: coal tar volatiles, asbestos, fluorides, sulfur
dioxide, heat stress and magnetic fields. An excess of total cancer was
observed for workers with less than three years of employment, but not
with workers with longer employment. No significant excess of leukemia,
lymphoma or brain cancer was observed. No association of magnetic field
exposure and CNS or hematopoietic cancer was found.
62) JE Moulder & KR Foster: Biological effects of power-frequency fields
as they relate to carcinogenesis. Proc Soc Exp Biol Med 209:309-324,
1995.
A review of the biophysics, biology and epidemiology of power-
frequency fields and cancer as they relate to cancer. Co-authored by
the maintainer of this FAQ sheet.
63) G Taubes: Epidemiology faces its limits. Science 269:164-169, 1995.
"The search for subtle links between diet, lifestyle, or environmental
factors and disease is an unending source of fear -- but often yields
little certainty.
64) JJ Schlesselman: "Proof" of cause and effect in epidemiologic
studies: Criteria for judgment. Prev Med 16:195-210, 1987.
A review of the criteria used to asses causation in epidemiologic
studies, with some interesting historical context and discussion.
65) T Koana et al: Estimation of genetic effects of a static magnetic
field by a somatic cell test using mutagen-sensitive mutants of
Drosophila melanogaster. Bioelectrochem Bioenerg 36:95-100, 1995.
Larvae of Drosophila (fruit flies) were exposed to a 600 mT static
field for 24 hours. Both normal larvae and mutants lacking a DNA repair
gene were exposed. Fewer of the mutants survived, which the authors
interpret as implying increased DNA damage that the mutants could not
repair.
66) JA Malko et al: Search for influence of 1.5 Tesla magnetic field on
growth of yeast cells. Bioelectromag 15:495-501, 1994.
Yeast were exposed to a 1.5 T static field for 7 cell generations,
with no effect of cell growth.
67) IV Balyasnikova et al: Effect of a static magnetic field on the
growth rate and in vitro angiogenesis of endothelial cells. Bulletin of
Experimental Biology and Medicine 117:110-113, 1994.
A 140 mT static magnetic field is reported to stimulate growth of
bovine endothelial cells, but to have no effects on human endothelial
cells. The effects are small, and not seen under all conditions.
68) RL et al: Magnetic field effects on spatial discrimination and
melatonin levels in mice. Physiology & Behavior 58:535-537, 1995.
Mice were exposed for 100 minutes to a 2000 mT field. Effects on
spatial discrimination learning were observed, but effects on melatonin
were not found.
