ARPANSA has published news release on Draft NTP Technical Reports on cell phone RFR

 Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) has published news release on Draft NTP Technical Reports on cell phone radiofrequency radiation.

The news release said as follows:
“The animal studies were to investigate whether exposure to RF radiation from mobile phones causes any health effects, including cancer.
The studies exposed rats and mice to RF radiation at the same frequencies used by mobile phones. The rats and mice were exposed to levels of 0, 3, 6or 9 W/kg for up to 9 hours at a time.
Australian mobile phone exposure level limits are set at 2 W/kg, however most mobile phones have lower exposure levels.
Two draft technical reports have been published by the NTP on the full results of the study, and will undergo external peer review by an expert panel during March 2018.
ARPANSA will assess the NTP results and provide advice following the expert panel review.
We publish information about mobile phones and health. A large number of studies have been performed to investigate whether mobile phones pose a potential health risk. It is the assessment of ARPANSA and other national and international health authorities, including the World Health Organization (WHO), that there
is no established scientific evidence that the use of mobile phones causes any health effects. However the possibility of harm cannot be completely ruled out.”
