ICNIRP Note: Critical Evaluation of two RF Animal Carcinogenesis Studies Published in 2018

2 September, 2019.

International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) has published “ICNIRP Note: Critical Evaluation of two Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Field Animal Carcinogenesis Studies Published in 2018” on a peer-reviewed journal “Health Physics”.

The note concludes as follows:
“Although NTP (2018a) and Falcioni et al. (2018) both reported significantly elevated rates of carcinogenic outcomes in male rats, their results are not consistent with each other, nor with the NTP (2018b)mouse or female rat results, nor with the RF cancer literature generally (SCENIHR 2015; HCN 2016; SSM 2018). The NTP’s outlying finding is further complicated by important methodological limitations including the effect of the greater lifespans of the exposed rats on the statistical analyses, lack of blinding in the pathological analyses, and a failure to account sufficiently for chance in the statistical analyses. Collectively these two studies’ limitations preclude drawing conclusions about carcinogenicity in relation to RF EMFs.”
