Occupational exposure to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) and postmenopausal breast cancer risk

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This population-based case-control study in Montréal (2008–2011) evaluated occupational extremely low-frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF) exposure and postmenopausal breast cancer risk using a job-exposure matrix linked to lifetime job histories. Overall, it reports no association between occupational ELF-MF exposure and postmenopausal breast cancer. However, analyses focusing on specific exposure windows (0–10 years before interview or during breast development) reported some positive associations, especially for ER+/PR+ tumours.

Bus-exposure matrix, a tool to assess bus drivers' exposure to physicochemical hazards

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This paper describes the development of a Bus-Exposure Matrix (BEM) to retrospectively estimate Swiss bus drivers’ exposures to 10 physicochemical hazards, including electric and magnetic fields. Measurements in representative buses were combined with technical inventories and INLA modeling to estimate annual exposures from 1985–2022. Reported trends include increasing peak noise and electric-field exposures over time, alongside decreases in several air pollution, vibration, and noise metrics.
