Cell Phone-Cancer Link Seen in Rat Study 在小白鼠實驗中發(fā)現(xiàn)了手機與癌癥有關(guān)聯(lián)

An important new study that has linked cell phone radiation to cancers in the brain and heart.

一項重要的新研究表明，手機輻射與大腦和心臟的癌癥有關(guān)。

The new research was conducted on rats by the U.S. National Toxicology Program, which exposed rats to radiofrequency radiation that comes from cell phones for about nine hours a day for seven days a week. They found that the exposed rats were more likely to develop cancers, specifically malignant gliomas—a tumor of glial cells in the brain—and tumors in the heart.

這項新的研究是由美國國家毒理學項目在小白鼠身上進行的，在一周7天的實驗中，小白鼠每天都會暴露在手機的高頻輻射之下，時間約為9小時。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)這些暴露在輻射之下的小白鼠更容易得癌癥，尤其是惡性膠質(zhì)瘤——大腦中的膠質(zhì)細胞出現(xiàn)的腫瘤——以及心臟部位的癌癥。

The study was reviewed by experts at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the authors say more research on the link will emerge in the next couple years. There are some important caveats to the new report. A study in rats is never directly translational to humans. It does, however, give researchers evidence that can lead to further research on the impact cell-phone radiation has on people. The findings were also most statistically significant for male rats.

國立衛(wèi)生院的專家對這一研究做出了評價，作者稱在今后的幾年之內(nèi)，會有更多針對手機輻射與癌癥關(guān)系的研究出現(xiàn)。對于這項新的報告有一些重要的說明。在小白鼠身上進行的研究不能用于人類實驗。然而，這項研究確實給研究這提供了證據(jù)，會激發(fā)人們進一步研究手機輻射對人類的影響。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，這一數(shù)據(jù)統(tǒng)計明顯針對于雄性小白鼠。

Other research has seen a link between cell phones and cancer, though research overall remains limited. The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified cell phone use and other radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as a possible carcinogen in 2011. “This study in mice and rats is under review by additional experts,” the NIH said in a statement about the findings.

雖然整體的研究比較有限，但是其他研究也證明過手機與癌癥的關(guān)系。世界衛(wèi)生組織的癌癥研究國際機構(gòu)在2011年將手機使用與其他高頻電磁場歸類為可能的致癌物質(zhì)。國家衛(wèi)生研究所在對這些發(fā)現(xiàn)進行進行陳述時稱“對小白鼠進行的這項研究有待于其他專家證實。”

The researchers say this new report is unlikely to be the final word on the possible risks of cell phone radiation, and more data from their research is anticipated to be released in fall 2017.

研究者稱，這項新研究并不是對于手機輻射可能危險的最終判斷，在2017年秋季，預計會公布這項研究更多的數(shù)據(jù)。
