Interested in a summary of the peer review? NIEHS published an article on the “clear evidence” of cancer conclusions of the peer review “NTP cell phone studies — experts recommend elevated conclusions.” The NIEHS NTP also issued this two page document that lists the final conclusions of the peer review panel for each cancer endpoint.“Statement of the Conclusions of the NIEHS Peer Review”

- Evaluation Of The Genotoxicity Of Cell Phone Radiofrequency Radiation In Male And Female Rats And Mice Following Subchronic Exposure This poster presentation by NIEHS staff summarizes the DNA damage found. “DNA damage was significantly increased in the frontal cortex of male mice (both modulations), peripheral leukocytes of female mice (CDMA only), and hippocampus of male rats (CDMA only)…These results suggest that exposure to RFR has the potential to induce measurable DNA damage under certain exposure conditions.”
