ICNIRP note: Critical evaluation of two radiofrequency electromagnetic field animal carcinogenicity studies published in 2018

Final results are now available from two large animalstudies that investigated whether long-term exposure to radiofre-quency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMFs) associated with mobile(or cell) phones or base stations is carcinogenic; these studies halefrom the US National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the RamazziniInstitute in Italy, respectively. In both cases, the authors concludedthat they had demonstrated that RF EMFs are carcinogenic in malerats but not in female rats or mice (NTP only).
