National Toxicology Program quits studying cell phone radiation.
Microwave News, reporting on non-ionizing radiation since 1981, reports on how the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) has closed down its RF radiation research program. “Indeed, it appears that work effectively stopped some time ago.”
“In September 2019, the NTP announced a new project designed to explain how RF radiation causes cancer. It was a year after the NTP made international headlines with its $30 million study showing “clear evidence” that RF caused malignant tumors in rats.
The NTP ordered and received new, smaller exposure chambers, which, like the original ones, were designed to irradiate animals with 2G and 3G signals. Work was believed to be under way. We’re “optimistic” that we can detect changes in gene expression and identify biomarkers of RF effects, Michael Wyde, the lead NTP investigator, told Microwave News at the time.
Now, close to four-and-a-half years later, it turns out that none of those experiments to explore mechanisms of cancer causation were ever carried out.
For the first time in more than 50 years, U.S. civilian agencies have no ongoing research on the health effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation.”
