Further details
The following 20 studies were included in the meta-analysis: Spitz et al. (1985), Nasca et al. (1988), Wilkins et al. (1988), Johnson et al. (1989), Bunin et al. (1990), Wilkins et al. (1990), Kuijten et al. (1992), Wilkins et al. (1996), McKean-Cowdin et al. (1998), Olshan et al. (1999), Sorahan et al. (1999), Feychting et al. (2000), Cordier et al. (2001), de Roos et al. (2000), McKinney et al. (2003), Ali et al. (2004), Li et al. (2001), Hug et al. (2010), MacCarthy et al. (2010) and Keegan et al. (2013). Additionally, 2 more studies (Cordier et al. (1997) and Kerr et al. (2000)) were included in which the job title was given without explicit relation to electromagnetic fields; therefore these studies are not included in the EMF-Portal.
