NTP DNA Breaks Paper Published

Cell Phone Radiation Led to "Significant Increases"



The results of the National Toxicology Program (NTP) studies on DNA breaks in rats and mice following exposure to cell phone radiation have just been published in Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis.

The NTP concludes that:
  • "[S]ignificant increases in the levels of DNA damage measured by the comet assay were seen in several tissues from rats and mice, indicating that RFR may be capable of causing increases in DNA damage.”
The abstract of the paper is available here. Unfortunately, the paper is not open access.
