Health Effects of Extremely Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Field Exposure From High-Voltage Power Lines and Substations: A Scoping Review of Primary Empirical Research This scoping review descriptively maps primary empirical research on associations between extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) exposure from high-voltage transmission lines (≥110 kV...

Frontiers | Commentary: Health and safety practices and policies concerning human exposure to RF/microwave radiation Lin's commentary is misleading and inaccurate on important topics. First, it misrepresents the IEEE C95.1-2019 [2] and ICNIRP (2020) limits [3]. Second, ...

Good point indeed.

Not much, no. Generally speaking. There advice is around study and analytic design, and to sense-check inferences.

Thats not how that works at all.

You know they were on the advisory committee right, and didnt actually conduct the study ?!

...would have been useful had US NTP actually published their results in the peer-reviewed literature, rather than leave it at a report only reviewed internally.

Not much exciting I suspect. I dont know why the results werent combined, but you can easily do that yourself. Even powered as initially intended (140 male rats per group) there is absolutely nothing there.
It will be interesting to see what conspiracies will be brought forward.
