NCRP Nixed Cell Phone Safety Advice
Told CDC To Delete Cautionary Recommendation
The National Council on Radiation Protection,
an organization chartered by the U.S. Congress, pressured the Centers for
Disease Control to remove any reference to "caution" in its fact
sheet on the use of cell phones. The NCRP was disturbed by the interpretation
that CDC was endorsing "precaution."
NCRP's actions are detailed in more than 500
pages of internal CDC e-mails that have recently been made public. (The New
York Times cited them in an article that came out on New Year's Day.) Leading
the NCRP charge was its chairman of the board, who has long served as an expert
witness for the cell phone and broadcast industries.
