brain cell phones: Microwave News Article Archive (2004 - )
A major review of cell phone cancer risks is at the center of an ongoing controversy over whether it is biased and should be withdrawn.
The new paper by some of the most prominent members of the RF–health community contends that epidemiological studies do not show an increased risk of brain tumors or acoustic neuroma associated with the use of mobile phones. That is, cell phones are cancer safe.
Titled “Brain and Salivary Gland Tumors and Mobile Phone Use: Evaluating the Evidence from Various Epidemiological Study Designs,” the...
The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) has determined that the two recent animal studies pointing to a cancer risk from cell phone radiation are not convincing and should not be used to revise current exposure standards.
In a “note” published today, the 12-member group states that the studies by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the...
Here are four key takeaways from the NTP press conference held this afternoon, soon after the release of its two cell phone reports [these are no longer available]:
1. NTP’s bottom line on cell phone use: “This is not a high-risk situation.”
2. RF radiation has biological effects at levels previously believed to be innocuous —they may be good or bad.
3. NTP will continue to do RF health studies. A new exposure facility is being built on the NIEHS campus, which will be smaller and more flexible than the one used...
