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.
Solutions • BELL (Li-Fi First Indoors)
Lower Indoor RF by Moving Data to Light
