Cell Phone Safety Activist Website Calls for Immediate Action on RF Radiation Risk
With great concern, we learn of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) potentially reassessing the evidence linking radiofrequency (RF) radiation to cancer. According to recent reports, the new assessment could take place in early 2024, with a formal decision expected within a few months.
This news comes on the heels of two large animal studies that show elevated tumor counts after lifelong exposure to RF radiation. These studies leave little doubt that the current classification of RF radiation as a “possible” human carcinogen must be upgraded to at least “probable” and possibly even a known human carcinogen.
The stakes are high. RF health concerns have long been ignored, thanks to industry-friendly exposure standards that discount cancer risk. An upgrade in classification would change all that and bring much-needed attention to the issue. The ongoing siting of hundreds of thousands of new 5G antennas only adds fuel to the fire.
We cannot wait for the IARC’s formal decision to take action. The time for action is now. The potential harm from RF radiation is too great to ignore any longer. We call on governments, industry leaders, and individuals to take immediate steps to protect themselves and their communities from RF radiation.
Individuals can take steps to reduce their exposure by using a headset or speakerphone when making calls, limiting cell phone use, and keeping the phone away from the body when not in use. Governments and industry leaders must also take action by implementing stricter safety standards and guidelines and investing in research to understand the long-term effects of RF radiation better.

We call on governments, industry leaders, and individuals to take immediate steps to protect themselves and their communities from RF radiation.
As a society, we are responsible for protecting ourselves and future generations from harmful radiation. We urge everyone to take this matter seriously and take the necessary steps to reduce exposure to RF radiation.
As the world becomes increasingly dependent on technology, concerns about the potential health risks of prolonged exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation continue to grow. In response to these concerns, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has announced plans to re-evaluate the evidence linking RF radiation to cancer, with the assessment possibly taking place as early as 2024.
This decision comes on the heels of two large animal studies that have revealed elevated tumor counts after prolonged exposure to RF radiation. The current classification of cancer risk from RF radiation is “possible,” but with the new evidence, this classification could be increased to “probable” or “known human carcinogen.” The potential downgrade of the classification is also possible.
The stakes are high in this situation, as RF health concerns have long been discounted by industry-friendly exposure standards. An upgrade in the classification of cancer risk from RF radiation would change this and would add fuel to the ongoing debate on the safety of 5G technology. Installing hundreds of thousands of new 5G antennas would increase exposure to RF radiation, and a higher cancer risk classification would raise concerns about the safety of this technology.
The IARC’s decision on this matter is significant as it is widely considered the gold standard for classifying cancer risks from chemical and physical agents. In 2011, a group of specialists from 14 countries agreed, almost unanimously, that RF is a Group 2B (possible) human carcinogen. This decision was based on a detailed review of the literature published in a 400+-page report, the 102nd volume in IARC’s Monographs Program.
In 2019, an IARC advisory group, taking a cue from the new animal data, urged the Agency to reassess RF radiation by 2024, calling it a “high priority.” The leaders of both the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the Ramazzini Institute in Bologna, Italy, who carried out the animal studies, also anticipate a new assessment and an upgrade in the classification of cancer risk.
The concerns about RF radiation are not limited to cancer risks. Some studies have also linked prolonged exposure to RF radiation to other health problems, such as headaches, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. There are also concerns about the potential impacts on children and pregnant women, as their brains and bodies are still developing.
The IARC’s decision to reassess the evidence linking RF radiation to cancer is a significant development in the ongoing debate on the safety of 5G technology. The stakes are high, and the decision could have a significant impact on the way we view the safety of this technology. The IARC must conduct a thorough and unbiased assessment of the evidence to arrive at a conclusion that is in the best interest of public health.
As parents of children that will one day use cell phones. Our responsibility is to keep the public informed about the latest developments in this area and to bring attention to the potential risks associated with prolonged exposure to RF radiation. We will continue to follow this story and report on any new information as it becomes available.
In the meantime, individuals need to take steps to protect themselves from prolonged exposure to RF radiation. This can include using a hands-free device while on the phone, limiting the use of cell phones and other wireless devices, and keeping a safe distance from 5G antennas and other sources of RF radiation.
It’s time for the public to be informed about the potential risks of RF radiation and for the government to take the necessary steps to protect public health. We hope that the IARC’s decision will help to shed light on this issue and bring about the necessary changes to protect the public from the potential health risks associated with RF radiation.
