The FCC’s Outdated Guidelines on RF Radiation Exposure: A Risk to Public Health

The court’s ruling and the evidence presented in the case suggest that the FCC may have neglected its duty to protect public health by failing to adequately consider the scientific evidence of harm from radiofrequency radiation emitted by wireless technology. The court found that the FCC’s guidelines were based on an outdated physics principle and

FCC Lawsuit Reveals Shocking Negligence in Protecting Public Health

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has ruled that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) must explain how its regulations protect the public from the harmful effects of cell phone towers and wireless device radiation. The court found that the agency had not considered new scientific evidence in drafting guidelines for exposure to

The consensus gap is a public-health failure—and America must close it

Non-thermal bioactivity, low-fidelity biology, institutional self-review, and the case for a Clean Ether Act Invisible does not mean irrelevant. Non-ionizing does not mean non-biological. Legal exposure does not mean demonstrated safety. A limit built to prevent acute heating cannot be sold as proof of protection against biological disruption it was never designed to measure. Executive

WHO Reviews Confirm Cell-Phone Radiation Harms: Cancer & Male-Fertility Evidence Now ‘High Certainty’ — It’s Time to Scrap FCC Rules & Restore Real Public-Health Protection

The hum of modern life is silent to the ear but deafening to biology. Invisible radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) pour from phones, tablets, Wi-Fi routers and 5 G antennas, wrapping every city block—and most human bodies—in a continuous spray of microwaves. For three decades regulators have assured the public that such exposure is safe so

How Congress Gave Big Pharma (1986) and Big Wireless (1996) Legal Immunity—while the Public Footed the Health Bill

“The purpose of government is to protect the citizen, not the corporation.”— A forgotten principle of public health Two statutes passed a decade apart—the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (NCVIA) and Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996—look like strangers at first glance. One concerns lifesaving vaccines; the other, cell-tower zoning. Yet

“Static in the Signals” – Why a 49‑Year‑Old Pentagon Dossier Should Ignite America’s Next Public‑Health Revolution

On a humid spring morning in 1976, two Army medical analysts turned in a 36‑page monograph to the Defense Intelligence Agency. Its title was as dry as any bureaucratic dispatch—“Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Radiation (Radiowaves and Microwaves) – Eurasian Communist Countries.” Yet the contents were anything but banal. Page after page catalogued Soviet‑bloc experiments in which low‑level microwave beams altered blood chemistry,

Public Law 90-602 The Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968

Public Law 90‑602—the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968—and why it’s such a crucial “missing piece” in the RF policy puzzle alongside returning RFR guidance to the EPA, repealing Section 704 of the TCA, and mandating Li‑Fi compatibility in all smart devices. 1. What Is PL 90‑602? Enacted in 1968, PL 90‑602 (Radiation Control for

From Personal Tragedy to Public-Health Advocacy: The Story Behind RF Safe

Few narratives in public-health advocacy are as deeply personal or heartrending as the origin story of RF Safe. Founded by John Coates, RF Safe traces its inception to a defining moment of profound sorrow—the loss of Coates’s daughter, Angel Leigh Coates, to a rare neural tube defect (NTD) at birth. What began as a father’s

Radiofrequency Radiation: The Urgent Need to Reclassify Health Risks and Reform Public Policy

The Double-Edged Sword of Radiofrequency Radiation Radiofrequency radiation (RFR), the backbone of modern wireless communication, is rapidly becoming one of the most pressing public health issues of our time. On one side, RFR powers life-saving medical innovations like the FDA-approved TheraBionic P1, a revolutionary device that uses amplitude-modulated RF waves to treat advanced liver cancer.

The Public Is Speaking Up Because the Wireless-Radiation Science Deserves Answers

Oxidative stress. Calcium signaling. Animal tumors. Differences in cellular susceptibility. RF Safe’s position begins with findings that deserve investigation—and a public that deserves more than reassurance. People keep asking a reasonable question: What is long-term wireless exposure doing to living systems? Answering that question requires more than checking whether a device complies with an existing

HHS Opens the RF Health Record: RF Safe’s Case for Action

Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has signed a sweeping federal Request for Information on electromagnetic fields, radiofrequency radiation, and wireless exposure. HHS is not asking the public to repeat the regulatory position. It is asking what the evidence shows, where the present system fails, what research is missing, and what the federal health agencies should

BREAKING: HHS Opens the Federal Record on Wireless-Radiation Health Risks

Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has signed a sweeping federal Request for Information on electromagnetic fields, radiofrequency radiation, and wireless exposure. It reaches far beyond the old question of whether a device heats tissue. HHS is asking about biological effects below current limits, pulse and modulation characteristics, cumulative exposure, children, pregnancy, disease registries, infrastructure near

The next FDA confirmation is the public’s opportunity

As of July 10, 2026, FDA lists Kyle Diamantas, J.D., as Acting Commissioner of Food and Drugs. Federal law requires a permanent FDA Commissioner to be appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. The statute also identifies protection from electronic-product radiation as part of FDA’s mission. That confirmation process is

Public Law 90-602 Is Not a “Rabbit Hole”: HHS Must Show Its Work on Wireless Radiation

The FDA’s 2022 rejection of an “imminent hazard” petition did not address HHS’s separate statutory duties to research electronic-product radiation, evaluate exposure, develop exposure-minimization methods, coordinate with other agencies, and consider product performance standards. Ahead of the National Health Federation’s monthly Zoom meeting, an email circulated among people involved in promoting the program. It warned

Executive Summary: Regarding Non-Thermal, Nonlinear, and Tissue-Specific EMF Risk, Public Law 90-602, and the FCC’s Unresolved RF Exposure Remand

New Modeling Published Today in Environmental Health Shows Current RF-EMF Limits Are 200× Too High for Cancer Risk

— Danish Cancer Registry Data Confirms CNS and Brain Tumor Incidence Has Nearly Doubled Since 2004, Coinciding Exactly with the Smartphone Explosion https://www.rfsafe.com/emf/cell-phone-radiation-limits-200-times-too-high.html A peer-reviewed paper released today in Environmental Health (DOI: 10.1186/s12940-026-01288-6) by Ronald L. Melnick (the former NTP senior toxicologist who directed the original cell-phone cancer studies) and Joel M. Moskowitz (ICBE-EMF) has

Thermal Only RF Safety Standards Are Not Health Standards

Why documented non-thermal biological effects, bioelectric vulnerability, and replicated animal evidence justify precautionary policy now Prepared for RF Safe March 2026 Core thesis This report does not try to prove a finalized human disease burden from every wireless exposure. Its argument is simpler and more fundamental: once biologically meaningful effects are documented below the injury

Studies by Increasing Power Density Studies by Increasing Specific Absorption Rate Standards and Background Levels Listing of Full Citations Note: For an effect to be considered truly “nonthermal”, that is, a “microwave effect”, they must be experimentally distinguishable from heating effects due to absorbed RF energy as measured with SAR Testing.

Ethical Connectivity Is Not Optional: A Public Challenge to Beast Mobile and Trump Mobile

A new wave of celebrity-branded mobile ventures is forming—and it matters more than most people realize. When a creator with hundreds of millions of followers explores launching a phone plan, that is not “just another MVNO.” It is a mass-behavior engine. It teaches millions of users (especially kids) what “normal” looks like: where a phone
