Swiss advisory group (BERNIS) published a newsletter relates two recent cancer studies (U.S. NTP study and Ramazzini study).

The Swiss expert group on electromagnetic fields and non-ionising radiation (BERNIS) published a special issue of its newsletter that contains a detailed evaluation of two recent cancer studies investigating lifetime radiofrequency exposure of mice and rats: U.S. NTP study and Ramazzini study.

For NTP study, especially on the possibility of thermal effect, the newsletter says that:
“In male rats, the highest increase in body core temperature was found in the highest EMF dose group (6 W/kg) with the temperature being less than 1° Celsius higher compared to the sham-exposed rats. The significant increase in heart schwannomas and the non-significant increase in gliomas are unlikely to be related to this temperature increase because it is not known that a temperature increase of this magnitude affects the tumor incidence. If a thermal effect is considered, the thermal threshold of 1° Celsius on which ICNIRP has based its guidelines so far has to be questioned.”
