RF Exposure Limits Do Not Account for Cancer Risk

“Exposure Limits to Radiofrequency EMF Do Not Account for Cancer Risk or Reproductive Toxicity Assessed from Data in Experimental Animals,” Environmental Health, March 14, 2026. 

By Ron Melnick, who was the lead deisgner of the NTP animal-cancer study, and Joel Moskowitz of UC Berkeley Public Health, on behalf of ICBE-EMF.

“For the general public, current regulatory limits to RF-EMF are 15- to 900-fold higher than our estimates of exposure levels associated with cancer risk of 1 × 10–5 (depending on the duration of daily exposure), and 8- to 24-fold higher than levels that are protective of male reproductive health. Thus, we strongly recommend an independent re-evaluation of RF-EMF exposure limits, integrating scientific data accumulated over the past 30 years and applying rigorous health-protective methodologies.”
