Abstract :
We present an examination of available dose-response data on EMF and childhood cancer in the epidemiologic literature. We conclude that evidence of dose-response exists for childhood leukemia and that causality remains a scientifically defensible explanation for the epidemiologic results produced thus far on this disease in relation to EMF exposure
