Seriously, stop with the irresponsible reporting on cellphones and cancer – Vox

Another bad research reporting is spreading FUD that cell phones would cause cancer – and many magazines spread this false “news”. Stop this kind of bad science reporting.

    Cell phone radiation does not cause cancer

    Cell Phone Radiation wonder to many, especially children and young people. However, the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (Strålsäkerthetsverket) now considers that the dangers of cell phone radiation and the risk of, for example, causes cancer is still on very weak display.

    Strålsäkerthetsverket organized a seminar on this subject which concluded there is no evidence between cancer and cell phone radiation. Now EMF research laboratory has investigated the case now for 13 years, and the likelihood of the cancer connection has been diminished at all times.

    Unless you’re a male rat bathing in cellphone radiation, experts say you should be fine

    Study of Cellphone Risks Finds ‘Some Evidence’ of Link to Cancer, at Least in Male Rats
    https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/01/health/cellphone-radiation-cancer.html

    Many caveats apply, and the results involve radio frequencies long out of routine use.

    Rodents were exposed to radiation at 900 megahertz, a frequency typical of the second generation of cellphones that prevailed in the 1990s, when the study was first conceived.

    For decades, health experts have struggled to determine whether or not cellphones can cause cancer. On Thursday, a federal agency released the final results of what experts call the world’s largest and most costly experiment to look into the question. The study originated in the Clinton administration, cost $30 million and involved some 3,000 rodents.

    The experiment, by the National Toxicology Program, found positive but relatively modest evidence that radio waves from some types of cellphones could raise the risk that male rats develop brain cancer.

    “We believe that the link between radio-frequency radiation and tumors in male rats is real,” John Bucher, a senior scientist at the National Toxicology Program, said in a statement.

    But he cautioned that the exposure levels and durations were far greater than what people typically encounter, and thus cannot “be compared directly to the exposure that humans experience.” Moreover, the rat study examined the effects of a radio frequency associated with an early generation of cellphone technology, one that fell out of routine use years ago.

    High Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation Associated With Cancer in Male Rats

    National Toxicology Program releases final reports on rat and mouse studies of radio frequency radiation like that used in 2G and 3G cell phone technologies

    The National Toxicology Program (NTP) concluded there is clear evidence that male rats exposed to high levels of radio frequency radiation (RFR) like that used in 2G and 3G cell phones developed cancerous heart tumors, according to final reports released today. There was also some evidence of tumors in the brain and adrenal gland of exposed male rats. For female rats, and male and female mice, the evidence was equivocal as to whether cancers observed were associated with exposure to RFR.

    The lowest exposure level used in the studies was equal to the maximum local tissue exposure currently allowed for cell phone users. This power level rarely occurs with typical cell phone use. The highest exposure level in the studies was four times higher than the maximum power level permitted.

    “We believe that the link between radio frequency radiation and tumors in male rats is real, and the external experts agreed,” said Bucher.

    The $30 million NTP studies took more than 10 years to complete

    Exposure to RFR began in the womb for rats and at 5 to 6 weeks old for mice, and continued for up to two years, or most of their natural lifetime. The RFR exposure was intermittent, 10 minutes on and 10 minutes off, totaling about nine hours each day. RFR levels ranged from 1.5-6 watts per kilogram in rats, and 2.5-10 watts per kilogram in mice.

    These studies did not investigate the types of RFR used for Wi-Fi or 5G networks.
