WHO-EMF Project Systematic Reviews and Challenges The report critiques the World Health Organization’s (WHO) EMF Project, focusing on systematic reviews regarding the health effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation. These reviews, published in Environment International, evaluate RF exposure risks associated with devices like mobile phones. However, the reviews have faced criticism for flawed methodologies, selective evidence […]

Understanding Entropic Waste: My Personal Experience and the Urgent Need to Protect Our Future
Hello, I’m John Coates, founder of RF Safe. I started RF Safe in the 1990s after experiencing a tragedy that forever shaped my perspective on environmental health risks. In 1995, I lost my daughter, Angel Leigh Coates, to a severe neural tube defect. It was devastating, and at the time, I had no idea what […]
Wireless Radiation Risks, Legacy Regulations, and Elon’s Opportunity to Lead Change
Dear Elon, Outdated Assumptions: Current FCC cell phone radiation guidelines are stuck in a 1990s “thermal-only” model. Modern studies confirm non-thermal biological effects (DNA damage, possible cancer risks, fertility issues) at everyday exposure levels. Legal Shackles—Section 704 (1996 Telecom Act): This law forbids local communities from rejecting cell towers based on health/environmental concerns. Towns, schools, […]
Parents, Advocates Call on Elon Musk and DOGE to Address Outdated Wireless Regulations and Protect Public Health
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: John Coates 727-610-1188 Tampa, FL – A coalition of concerned parents, health advocates, and community leaders today urged Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to take immediate action to update decades-old telecommunications regulations that deny local governments the ability to protect their communities from potential health risks associated […]
An Open Letter to Elon Musk: Embrace the Science, Liberate Local Control, and Lead Us into a Safer Wireless Future
Dear Elon, First, allow me to express my admiration for what you’ve accomplished. Your relentless drive to innovate—to build rockets that land themselves, to electrify transport, to explore neural interfaces, and to connect the world via Starlink—has already reshaped our reality. You’ve taken on entrenched industries and paradigms time and again, emerging as a visionary […]
Take Action: Tell @DOGE to Restore Local Control and Protect Our Communities
As parents, community members, and citizens, we all strive to create safe environments for our children and loved ones. Yet, one of the most fundamental rights—our ability to influence decisions about what’s safe for our neighborhoods—has been stripped away by outdated and harmful legislation. Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 is one of […]
When Parental Choice Stops at the School Window
As a parent, I take pride in carefully choosing what my child eats, how much screen time she gets, and the safety measures we use at home. Yet, despite all my efforts to protect her health, I have absolutely no say over the cell tower looming just outside her classroom window. It’s a glaring contradiction: […]
Restoring Local Power Over Wireless Infrastructure: Why Amending Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 Is a Priority
A recent tweet from Elon Musk and the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) calls on the public to identify wasteful government spending and burdensome regulations. This is a golden opportunity to highlight one of the most problematic and freedom-eroding regulations currently on the books: Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Musk’s […]
It’s Not About the Science Anymore—It’s About the Policy: How Corporate Capture and Outdated Laws Keep Wireless Tech Unsafe
Ask any well-informed researcher about radiofrequency (RF) radiation risks from cell phones and wireless devices, and they’ll tell you the science is no longer in question. Decades of studies—ranging from the Interphone study to the U.S. National Toxicology Program’s findings—have established beyond reasonable doubt that non-thermal biological effects, including potential cancer risks, DNA damage, and […]
Breaking the Stranglehold: How Corporate Influence, Academic Complacency, and Outdated RF Radiation Guidelines Undermine Public Health—and Why Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Could Ignite Reform
For decades, the American public has been reassured that safety guidelines governing radiofrequency (RF) radiation—from cellphones, Wi-Fi, and 5G towers—are solid, science-based, and protective. Our trust in these standards derives from the supposed impartiality of academic experts, regulatory agencies like the FCC, and reputable health organizations. We assume that if there were hidden risks, these […]
Beyond Cancer: How Wireless Radiation May Undermine Our Cellular “Language” and Amplify Diverse Health Risks
When most people think about the health effects of wireless radiation, they focus on cancer risk. But what if that’s just a single piece of a much larger puzzle? Emerging evidence suggests that electromagnetic fields (EMFs)—including those from cellphones, Wi-Fi, and other wireless technologies—may create what you could call “low-fidelity environments” for cellular information processing. […]
Why the Old Wireless Safety Guidelines No Longer Hold Up—And What the FCC’s 2021 Court Loss Means for You”
For decades, the official story has been simple: As long as your phone or Wi-Fi device doesn’t noticeably heat your tissues, you’re safe from any biological harm. That’s the line we’ve all been told—by industry, regulators, and even some health agencies. But this narrative has reached its breaking point, and it’s crucial that we, as […]
