Congenital Anomalies and Paternal Occupational Exposure to Shortwave, Microwave, Infrared, and Acoustic Radiation

The results of an exploratory analysis of the relationship of paternal occupational exposure to nonionizing radiation and congenital anomalies in offspring are described. The study is based on data collected for a larger retrospective mail survey of potential health effects of occupational exposure...

Description
Summary:The results of an exploratory analysis of the relationship of paternal occupational exposure to nonionizing radiation and congenital anomalies in offspring are described. The study is based on data collected for a larger retrospective mail survey of potential health effects of occupational exposure to radiofrequency/microwave and other energy on male physical therapists and their offspring. An earlier report has described specific findings for the physical therapists themselves.
