Join Us in Advocating for Safer Technology
Our Mission
RF Safe has been at the forefront of public health advocacy since the 1990s, addressing the overlooked dangers of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). For over two decades, we’ve dedicated ourselves to safeguarding future generations through research, education, and advocacy. Today, the scientific evidence is clear: non-thermal biological effects of EMR pose significant risks, and action is urgently needed.
Our Goals
- Update FCC Safety Guidelines: Modernize outdated regulations to reflect current scientific understanding.
- Restart National Toxicology Program (NTP) Cancer Research: Support ongoing research to uncover the long-term health impacts of RF radiation.
- End FCC Regulatory Capture: Ensure public health takes precedence over industry profits.
Why This Matters
1. Update FCC Safety Guidelines: Embrace Modern Science
The Problem
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) relies on safety guidelines from the 1990s, which focus solely on thermal effects of RF radiation—ignoring mounting evidence of non-thermal biological impacts.
Key Evidence
- 2021 Court Ruling: A lawsuit led by Environmental Health Trust (EHT) and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed that FCC’s 1996 guidelines fail to protect against harmful non-thermal effects.
- National Toxicology Program (NTP) Findings: Comprehensive studies link RF radiation to malignant brain tumors (gliomas) and heart tumors (schwannomas).
- Vulnerable Populations: Children are at greater risk due to thinner skulls and developing tissues, with studies showing deeper radiation penetration in young brains.
- Non-Thermal Effects: Peer-reviewed studies confirm DNA damage, oxidative stress, and disrupted cellular repair mechanisms even at low exposure levels.
Our Demand
The FCC must:
- Acknowledge non-thermal risks in its safety standards.
- Enforce stricter regulations to compel safer technology development.
2. Restart National Toxicology Program (NTP) Cancer Research
The Problem
The groundbreaking NTP research into RF radiation’s health impacts has stalled, leaving critical questions unanswered.
Key Evidence
- Clear Evidence of Harm: Both the NTP and Ramazzini Institute found RF radiation carcinogenic in animal studies, with tumors resembling those found in humans.
- Policy Implications: Discontinuing research after finding evidence of harm is irresponsible and leaves the public unprotected.
- Therapeutic Potential: FDA-approved TheraBionic treatment showcases RF-EMF’s potential for non-thermal therapeutic applications, emphasizing the need for further investigation.
Our Demand
We demand the immediate continuation of NTP research to:
- Inform health policies and safety regulations.
- Enable safer technological advancements.
- Explore therapeutic uses while minimizing risks.
The Problem
Decades of regulatory capture have allowed industry interests to dominate FCC policies, compromising public safety.
Key Evidence
- Conflicts of Interest: Leadership with ties to the wireless industry, such as former FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, undermines impartial regulation.
- Erosion of Public Trust: Failure to update safety standards has weakened confidence in the FCC’s ability to protect health.
- Unchecked Technology Rollout: The rapid expansion of wireless networks like 5G occurs without sufficient safety testing.
Our Demand
The FCC must:
- Implement measures to eliminate industry influence.
- Prioritize science-based policymaking.
- Appoint leaders with no ties to the industries they regulate.
4. Amend the Telecommunications Act of 1996: Restore Local Rights
The Problem
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 has stripped local governments of the authority to reject cell tower placements based on health concerns, leaving communities powerless to protect themselves from harmful RF radiation.
Key Evidence
- FCC Cell Phone Radiation Standards: Established in 1996, these guidelines ignore decades of research on non-thermal effects, such as cancer, DNA damage, and neurological impacts.
- Implied Conflict Preemption: Federal regulations override state and local efforts to impose stricter safety measures, even when health risks are recognized.
- Tort Immunity: The telecommunications industry enjoys broad protections from liability, preventing accountability for health damages caused by RF exposure.
- Regulatory Capture: Industry influence over the FCC prioritizes corporate profits over public health.
- Suppression of Science: Funding cuts, such as halting NTP’s wireless radiation research, undermine efforts to address health risks.
Our Demand
Amending the Telecommunications Act of 1996 is crucial to:
- Empower local communities to make decisions about cell tower placements based on health and environmental concerns.
- Restore accountability by ensuring telecom companies prioritize public well-being over profits.
- Update FCC guidelines to reflect modern scientific understanding of RF radiation risks.
Take Action Now
Your Voice Can Make a Difference
- Contact Elected Officials: Demand updated safety guidelines, continued NTP research, and accountability at the FCC.
- Spread Awareness: Share credible information about RF-EMF risks and advocate for safer practices.
- Support Legislation: Push for laws promoting transparency and safer technology.
- Practice Safe Technology Use: Reduce exposure by using wired connections, limiting device use, and keeping electronics away from your body.
Significant Research
A wealth of studies highlights the health risks associated with RF radiation:
- Interphone Study: Found links between cell phone use and brain tumors.
- Hardell Group Studies: Documented increased risks of gliomas.
- NTP & Ramazzini Institute Studies: Provided clear evidence of carcinogenic effects.
- BioInitiative Report: Summarized over 1,800 studies on EMF health impacts.
- FDA-Approved TheraBionic Treatment: Demonstrated non-thermal therapeutic applications of RF radiation.
Together, these studies underscore the need for urgent action to update safety standards and continue critical research.
