• 2010:21 Childhood leukaemia around nuclear facilities

  The first indication of a possible relationship between living close to a nuclear installation and the risk of childhood leukaemia came from the United Kingdom in 1983. A cluster of childhood leukaemia in the town of Seascale which is located close to Sellafield was reported in a TV documen-tary. Since then almost 200 studies have been carried out in order to investi-gate the occurrence of...

• 2009:36 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risks. Sixth annual report from SSM:s independent Expert Group on Electromagnetic Fields 2009

  A large number of cell studies are done on both genotoxic and non-genotoxic outcomes, such as apoptosis gene expression. There are no new positive findings from cellular studies that have been well established in terms of experimental quality and replication. Potential heating of the samples is still seen as a major source of artefacts. Moreover, these few positive results are not related to...

• 2009:24 UV-radiation induced disease – roles of UVA and UVB

  There is a large uncertainty concerning the impact of UVA and UVB radiation on the skin and eye. For example, UVA radiation used to be considered low risk since it was believed that DNA damage could only be caused by UVB radiation. However, recent studies show that UVA and UVB can give rise to similar DNA damages in human skin. Because of the potentially greater exposure to UVA while using...

• 2009:02 Screening calculations for radioactive waste releases from non-nuclear facilities

  A series of screening calculations have been performed to assess the potential radiological consequences of discharges of radioactive substances to the environment arising from waste from non-nuclear practices. Solid waste, as well as liquids that are not poured to the sewer, are incinerated and ashes from incineration and sludge from waste water treatment plants are disposed or reused at...

• 2008:12 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risks. Fifth annual report from SSI’s Independent Expert Group on Electromagnetic Fields, 2007

  The report for 2007 is divided into four different frequency fields: static fields, extremely low frequency fields (ELF), intermediate fields (IF) and radiofrequency fields (RF). Recent volunteer studies have shown that movement in very strong static magnetic fields (>1T, used in magnetic resonance imaging) can induce electrical fields in the body and sensations of vertigo in some people and...
