A new study in Environmental Research found children in Mexico City exposed to ELF magnetic fields above 0.4 μT in their bedrooms had significantly increased risk of central nervous system tumors. Over 5% of children exceeded the 0.3 μT threshold linked to childhood leukemia.
"Residential exposure to ELF-MF (measured in bedrooms) above 0.4 μT was significantly associated with an increased risk of developing CNS tumors."
"More than 5% of children in Mexico City were exposed to ELF-MF levels above 0.3 μT, higher than the global average for exposure."
"Many countries limit ELF-MF exposure in homes and schools due to associations with childhood cancer. The Netherlands, as an example, is buying up homes with elevated levels from powerlines and substations."
