In a shocking reversal, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) of the
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences has quietly
disclosed that it will stop studying the biological or environmental
impacts of cell phone radiofrequency radiation.
This decision comes despite results from the program’s carefully
engineered and reviewed decade-long $30 million animal studies that
found cancer, heart damage and DNA damage associated with exposure to
cell phone radiofrequency radiation at levels comparable to those
experienced by Americans today.
That sentence is about as disingenuous and sensational as it gets.
You're pretty gullible if you blindly fall for that obvious slant.
Here's the nuanced truth:
---
The findings in animals cannot be directly applied to humans for two key reasons:
* The exposure levels and durations were greater than what people may
receive from cellphones.
* The rats and mice received RFR across their whole bodies, which is
different from the more localized exposures humans may receive, like
from a cellphone in their pocket or next to their head.
However, the studies question the long-held assumption that RFR is of no concern as long as the energy level is low and does not significantly
heat the tissues.
The lowest exposure level used in the studies was equal to the maximum
exposure to the local tissue (cells) currently allowed for cellphone
users. This power level *rarely* occurs with typical cellphone use.
The highest exposure level in the studies was *four times higher* than
the maximum power level permitted for local tissues.
