National Toxicology Program Halted Cellphone Research Despite Cancer Findings Due to Technical Challenges and Lack of Resources

According to a January 2024 pamphlet from the National Toxicology Program {NTP), that agency has ceased the study of cellphone radiofrequency radiation (RFR) because &ldquo;the research was technically challenging and more resource-intensive than expected.&rdquo; And despite findings of serious problems with the relationship between RFR and animal health, the NTP notes that &ldquo;No additional RFR studies are planned.&rdquo; The NTP is headquartered at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, NIH-HHS. This agency notes that 97% of US adults use cell phones and that given the &ldquo;large number of users, any harmful effects associated with cell phone use could be a significant public health concern.&rdquo; These phones use RFR to transmit information. The US FDA had nominated this radiation for study by the NTP based on the broad exposure of Americans and the limited data on the health impacts of regular cell phone use.
