  2. 11. Occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and chronic diseases

    Author : Niclas Håkansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Electromagnetic fields; chronic diseases; epidemiology; occupation; cancer diseases; neurodegenerative diseases; cardiovascular diseases.;

    Abstract : This thesis consider two exposures from the electromagnetic spectrum extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF MF) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
