In a large matched population‐based case‐control study of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), we did not find incident AML in Los Angeles County (1987–1994) to be associated with previous exposure to electric blankets, electrically heated waterbeds, or occupations with presumed high exposure to electromagnetic fields.
