New ICNIRP Guidelines… nothing really new… just the same stonewalling…

January 23, 2020
Source: “Between a Rock and a Hard Place”, a science blog by Dariusz Leszczynski: New ICNIRP Guidelines will be published, any moment now, in the Health Physics journal. However, for already several months it is known what these new ICNIRP Guidelines will be… Interestingly and importantly, ICNIRP dismisses completely: existence and significance of non-thermal effects existence of the risk of...

Cell Phones and Cancer: Your Genes May Tell the Story

January 22, 2020
Genetic Susceptibility and RF Radiation Modulate Thyroid Cancer January 21, 2020 Last January, a team led by Yawei Zhang of the Yale School of Public Health in New Haven published an epidemiological study on the possible link between thyroid cancer and cell phones. Though some “suggestive” associations were seen among long-term users, none was statistically significant. Still, the results...
