Abstract
The relationship of measured residential magnetic fields and wire code s to pregnancy outcome was examined in data collected for a study of c hildhood cancer in Denver. Pregnancies in homes with measured fields a bove 0.2 mu T or high wire codes were not more likely to end in miscar riage, low birth weight, or preterm delivery. Lack of data on potentia l confounders and small numbers of cases limit the study's conclusions . (C) 1994 Wiley-Liss. Inc.
