Finish the Court‑Ordered Fix to 1996 RF Limits
In 2021, the D.C. Circuit called the FCC’s decision to keep **1996 RF limits**
“arbitrary and capricious” for ignoring long‑term and child‑specific risks.
The record must be completed with modern toxicology and exposure science.
- Demand a transparent, science‑based update that includes non‑thermal effects.
- Require child‑specific protections and cumulative‑exposure analysis.
- Tell Congress to oversee the FCC’s remand timeline.
Accountability • HHS & Public Law 90‑602
Enforce the Law: Restart NTP Wireless Research
Public Law 90‑602 mandates an HHS program to research and control radiation
from electronic products, publish results, and set performance standards when needed.
The RF program must be active and public.
- Tell HHS to restart NTP RF research and publish a timeline.
- Ask your Representatives to oversee HHS compliance with PL 90‑602.
- Urge interagency work with FCC to update the national safety baseline.
