Dying to play video games: carbon monoxide poisoning from electrical generators used after hurricane Ike.

30 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is common after major storms because of loss of electrical power and use of alternate fuel sources for heat and electricity. In past epidemics of hurricane-related CO poisoning, the source has typically ... Read more...

Evaluation of current densities and total contact currents in occupational exposure at 400 kV substations and power lines.

30 Mar 2009 This investigation studied the current densities in the neck and total contact currents in occupational exposure at 400 kV substations and power lines. Eight voluntary workers simulated their normal work tasks using the helmet-mask measuring system. ... Read more...

Power frequency magnetic fields and risk of childhood leukaemia: misclassification of exposure from the use of the 'distance from power line' exposure surrogate.

30 Mar 2009 A recent study examining the relationship between distance to nearby power lines and childhood cancer risk re-opened the debate about which exposure metrics are appropriate for power frequency magnetic field investigations. Using data from two large ... Read more...
