Khaberni - The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has announced its intention to launch a new study concerning the impact of mobile phone radiation on health, a step that comes in the context of repeated criticisms from Health Minister Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who previously linked these radiations to neurological damage and cancer.
A department spokesperson said the study would explore the relationship between electromagnetic radiation and public health, aiming to identify knowledge gaps, particularly in terms of modern technologies, and ensuring safety and efficacy.
Spokesperson Andrew Nixon added that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had removed old web pages that claimed mobile phones were not dangerous, noting that this step coincided with the department's commencement of the study.
Nixon explained that the study was issued under the direction of the "Make America Healthy Again" committee, part of President Donald Trump's strategic report, indicating a broader governmental initiative aimed at enhancing public health.
The U.S. Department of Health had announced last year that 22 states had imposed restrictions on the use of mobile phones in schools, as part of efforts to improve the physical and mental health of children.
Despite these steps, some official pages of government agencies, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, still affirm that "there is no reliable evidence yet" that mobile phone radiation causes health problems.
The National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, reported that "available evidence to date suggests that the use of mobile phones does not cause brain cancer or other types of cancer in humans."
