The NTP’s research has provided crucial insights into the health risks associated with electromagnetic radiation. However, the program’s work was abruptly halted under the Biden-Harris administration. Here’s why it’s vital to restart this research.
The National Toxicology Program (NTP) is an interagency program under the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that is responsible for testing and evaluating substances in our environment that could potentially harm human health. The NTP’s research plays a crucial role in identifying cancer-causing agents and understanding their effects on public health.
The NTP’s groundbreaking studies on radiofrequency radiation (RFR), including the type emitted by cell phones, provided clear evidence that high levels of RFR can cause cancer in animals. These findings were pivotal in raising awareness about the potential health risks of long-term exposure to wireless radiation, especially as the use of such technologies continues to rise globally.
Despite the significant findings, the Biden-Harris administration abruptly halted further research by the NTP, redirecting funding to other priorities. This decision has been widely criticized by public health advocates, as it leaves a critical gap in our understanding of the long-term health effects of electromagnetic radiation.
Without continued research, we risk underestimating the dangers of wireless radiation. Restarting the NTP’s work is essential to ensure that we fully understand the risks and can take appropriate actions to protect public health. It is crucial that funding be restored and that the NTP’s research be allowed to continue without political interference.
The suspension of the NTP’s research has left the public in the dark about the true risks of electromagnetic radiation. Here's what you can do:
