Follow-Up Research on NTP's Clear Evidence on RF Causing Malignant Tumors in Rats

Abstract

Overview

The recent closure of the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) RF radiation research, which studied the carcinogenic effects of radiofrequency (RF) fields, has caused significant concern within the scientific and public health communities. The NTP, as part of the NIH, provided crucial research into the biological impact of RF radiation.

Findings

• In 2018, the NTP released its $30 million laboratory research, providing clear evidence that lifelong exposure to low-level RF radiation led to cancers in rats. Significant findings demonstrated that both GSM- and CDMA-modulated 900-MHz RF radiation caused malignant schwannomas in the hearts of male rats.
• Independent review of the NTP data further confirmed that rats exposed to cellphone RF radiation had significantly greater incidences of total primary tumors compared to unexposed controls.
• These results were corroborated by the Ramazzini Institute study in Italy, which reaffirmed the findings of carcinogenic effects from RF radiation.
• Although the NTP planned further genotoxicology studies on RF radiation and cancer mechanisms, these projects have stalled and are unlikely to continue in the U.S. civilian research sector.

Conclusion

• Despite cessation of federally-backed RF health research, the public remains widely exposed to anthropogenic RF radiation, essentially enacting a massive uncontrolled health experiment. This raises urgent safety and public health concerns.
• While U.S. civilian research has ceased, the military (DARPA) continues to investigate the biological impacts of RF radiation, raising questions about potential undisclosed risks.
• It is imperative to consider and act upon the documented carcinogenic links between RF radiation and cancer found in robust animal studies by both NTP and international institutions.
