U.S. Government Expected To Advise Public of Health Risk
The U.S. National Toxicology Program
(NTP) is expected to issue a public announcement that cell phone
radiation presents a cancer risk for humans. The move comes soon after
its recently completed study showed statistically significant increases
in cancer among rats that had been exposed to GSM or CDMA signals for
two-years.
Discussions are currently underway among federal agencies on how to
inform the public about the new findings. NTP senior managers believe
that these results should be released as soon as possible because just
about everyone is exposed to wireless radiation all the time and
therefore everyone is potentially at risk.
The new results contradict the conventional wisdom, advanced by
doctors, biologists, physicists, epidemiologists, engineers, journalists
and government officials, among other pundits, that such effects are
impossible. This view is based, in part, on the lack of an established
mechanism for RF radiation from cell phones to induce cancer. For
instance, earlier this week (May 22), a medical doctor in Michigan wrote
an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal
stating that, “There is no known mechanism by which mobile phones might
cause brain tumors.” He went on to argue that there is no need to warn
the public about health risks. MORE
