HHS Launches Study Revisiting Cellphone Radiation

On Jan. 15, 2026, the US Department of Health and Human Services announced a study into electromagnetic radiation from modern cell phones, directed by President Trump's Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission. The move follows conflicting animal research — including a $30 million 2018 National Toxicology Program study finding tumors in male rats and later replication studies finding no effects — and coincides with FDA webpage removals and FCC regulatory actions.
