Papers: PDF OnlyEnvironmental Power-frequency Magnetic Fields and SuicidePerry, Stephen F.; Reichmanis, Maria; Marino, Andrew A.; Becker, Robert O.Health Physics: August 1981 - Volume 41 - Issue 2 - p 267-277 Buy Abstract We studied the relationship between power-frequency magnetic fields and locations of suicidal deaths in 1969–76 in the West Midlands, England. We found a significant correlation between suicide locations and the measured power-frequency magnetic field strength. Significantly more suicides occurred at locations of high magnetic field strength. ©1981Health Physics Society
