Strip the FCC’s RF Safety Power—Return It to the EPA

“The FCC’s decision is arbitrary and capricious for its failure to provide a reasoned explanation for terminating its notice of inquiry.”
— U.S. Court of Appeals, EHT v. FCC (2021)

📜 The Evidence the FCC Buried

Long before the 1996 rule, federal agencies —and even industry-funded scientists—had already warned that microwave radiation harms biology far below a heating threshold:

• 1971 – US Navy “Glaser Report”: 2,300 peer-reviewed papers catalogued neurologic, endocrine, and immune effects at non-thermal levels.
• 1982 – ANSI C95.1: America’s first civilian guideline openly admitted it was written only “to preclude thermal injury,” ignoring the Navy data.
• 1994 – U.S. Air Force Bio-effects Plan: Pentagon scientists flagged oxidative stress and DNA damage below 1 W/kg SAR—orders of magnitude under today’s FCC cap.
• 1995 – Lai & Singh DNA Breaks: University of Washington team proved a mere 2 h at 1.2 W/kg (2.45 GHz) caused single-strand DNA breaks in rat brains—no heating required.
• 1993 – 1999 – CTIA’s $25 M WTR program: Industry-funded chief Dr. George Carlo reported genotoxic effects and urged precaution; his findings were shelved while the FCC rubber-stamped its thermal rule.

⚠️ Evidence of Regulatory Failure

• Thermal Myth: Three peer‑reviewed studies (ROS spike, Wi‑Fi sperm injury, NTP inverted dose) prove harm with no heating.
• 1996 Section 704: Stripped local authority to block towers on health grounds, locking communities out.
• EPA Defunded: Congress killed the EPA’s RF research unit in 1996—violating Public Law 90‑602’s mandate for continuing review.
• Children at Highest Risk: Deeper RF penetration, higher stem‑cell division rates, and longer lifetime exposure.

🚀 Our Three Demands

• Transfer all RF health‑standards authority from the FCC to the EPA’s Office of Radiation & Indoor Air.
• Repeal Section 704 to restore state and local power to regulate tower placement based on health.
• Fund immediate EPA‑led research into non‑thermal biomarkers (ROS, DNA damage, fertility).
