Cell Phone Radiation Study Sparks Concerns

A recent study conducted by the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) has found that cell phone radiation presents a cancer risk for humans. The 25 million dollar study exposed male rats to cell phone radiation over a two-year period and found statistically significant increases in cancer rates.

The study, which is considered to be one of the most comprehensive studies on cell phone radiation to date, contradicts the conventional wisdom that such effects are impossible. The study’s findings have sparked concerns among the public and experts alike.

Ron Melnick, who led the team that designed the NTP study and is now retired, stated that “The NTP tested the hypothesis that cell phone radiation could not cause health effects and that hypothesis has now been disproved…These data redefine the cell phone radiation controversy.”

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) sets guidelines for Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which measures the amount of radiation absorbed by the body. However, these guidelines only take into account a 2mm thick skull, which is an extremely outdated assumption.

In response to the NTP study’s findings, a new tool has been developed to help individuals understand the potential health risks associated with cell phone usage. The RF Safe Score (RSS) algorithm takes into account the well-understood physics of microwave absorption and the thickness of the skull, which is not considered in current FCC guidelines. The algorithm calculates a point value based on the thresholds of 50%, 72.5%, and 95% of the legal limit of 1.6W/kg, with each threshold representing a .5mm, 1.0mm, and 2.0mm skull thickness, respectively. This allows for a more accurate assessment of the potential health risks associated with cell phone usage for individuals of all ages and skull thicknesses.

To further protect against potential risks, the QuantaCase™ has been developed. This anti-radiation phone case incorporates world-renowned RF Safe® Radiation Shielding Technology to deflect electromagnetic radiation, including 5G frequencies, away from the body. The QuantaCase™ also has an exposed RF Safe® notch where an inexpensive Ohm meter can be used to test the conductivity of the microwave barrier between the body and the device.

Using the RF Safe Score (RSS) algorithm and the QuantaCase™ together increases the level of RFR awareness and EMF protection for individuals. It allows them to make informed decisions about their cell phone usage based on the specific SAR levels of their phone and their own unique characteristics, such as skull thickness.

The NTP study’s findings and the development of tools such as the RF Safe Score (RSS) algorithm and the QuantaCase™ demonstrate the importance of understanding the potential health risks associated with cell phone radiation and taking steps to reduce exposure. It is crucial for individuals to be aware of these risks and to take action to protect themselves and their loved ones.
