  Riferimento:

  Int J Occup Environ Health. 1996 Jan;2(1):37-47.
  Azione della melatonina:

  Associations between EMF exposure, breast cancer and modifications of melatonin secretion could be a biologic signal of these effects.
  Target:

  50/60-Hz electric and magnetic fields (EMF)
• Titolo: Light and magnetic fields in a neonatal intensive care unit
  Riferimento:

  Bioelectromagnetics. 1996;17(5):396-405.
  Azione della melatonina:

  Effects of light and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) could have implications for long-term risk of breast cancer, peak levels may be consistent with those thought to suppress melatonin.
