The Hill published Dr. Devra Davis’ Op-ed “Why did NIH abruptly halt research on the harms of cell phone radiation?”
Excerpts:
“In a shocking reversal, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences has quietly disclosed that it will stop studying the biological or environmental impacts of cell phone radio-frequency radiation.
“This decision comes despite results from the program’s carefully engineered and reviewed decade-long $30 million animal studies that found cancer, heart damage and DNA damage associated with exposure to cell phone radiofrequency radiation at levels comparable to those experienced by Americans today.”
“The sudden end of civilian government efforts to study potential health impacts of wireless radiation constitutes a glaring abdication of responsibility.”
