For many years now, researchers are hypothesizing the link between multiple occupational exposures to be related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The exposure of extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF- MLs ) , electrical shocks, solvents, metals, and pesticides. Etc. are considered as some of the factors responsible for ALS. This article reports observations published by the Dutch researchers while studying the link between these factors and ALS.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease of the motor neuron system, resulting in death within 1-6 years of onset. Of ALS cases, 5%-23% of the cases suggest that environmental exposures may play a major role in the occurrence of ALS. However, educational level, smoking, physical activity, repeated physical trauma and occupational exposure have been implicated as risk factors for ALS. However,…
