Hi
Just read the same article and am planning to check it out - it's a HSE
commissioned study so should be on their website and is to do with the lack
of naturatal daylight affecting melatonin production which has been linked
to breast cancer as it melatonin and oestrogen production appear to be
linked, so no, it doesn't seem to be a direct link to striplights.
The person who did the study is called Prof Anthony Swerdlow, an
epidemiologist from the Institute of Cancer Research.

I wonder if anyone has read the research regarding the link between breast
cancer and night workers?
Are the strip lights the cause of the problem, or is it the lack of natural
light that affects the hormone levels?
I have a number of female employees who have read an article in a newspaper
and are now concerned.
Was the research conclusive???
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Regards
Sam Davies
