Telebriefing: NTP draft conclusions for radiofrequency radiation studies in rats and mice

What

The National Toxicology Program (NTP) will hold a media telebriefing to summarize and answer questions about draft reports on the health effects of radiofrequency radiation exposure in rats and mice. The studies used radiofrequency radiation exposure levels equal to and higher than the highest level permitted for cell phone emissions today.
Two draft reports — one on rat studies and one on mouse studies — are being released, to allow time for public comment and final review by external experts in March. The 10-year, $25 million toxicological studies are the most comprehensive assessments of health effects and exposure to radiofrequency radiation in rats and mice to date.

Who

John Bucher, Ph.D., NTP Senior Scientist

When

Friday, Feb. 2, 1:00 p.m. EST
