| Abstract |
Evidence that ozone is radiomimetic and may be the cause of an excess of leukaemia found in certain occupational groups (electricians, electronic technicians, linemen, television and radio repairmen, and motion picture projectionists) is presented. These workers are all exposed to electrical or magnetic fields but they are also exposed to ozone originating from electrical discharges which occur in these working environments. |
