Independent, peer-reviewed and published scientific literature documents the following and more:
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) of radiation are pulsed by cellular devices and wireless technologies. All of the following use this form of two-way microwave radiation to send and receive data: cell phones, Bluetooth, laptops, Chromebooks, iPads and other tablets, iPods, smartboards, classroom access points, wearable devices, wireless earphones, wireless baby monitors, utility “smart” meters, gaming systems, cordless phones, wireless keyboards/mice, hearing aids, vehicles, home assistants, etc., as well as cell towers/antennas, including “small” cell antennas for 4G/5G and WiFi routers.
Current Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines governing public exposure to RF radiation are obsolete. They were developed in 1996 before we had WiFi and cell towers everywhere. Long before everyone had a cell phone.
The FCC guidelines only address the thermal (heat) impact which boils down to how much radiation it would take to heat the skin. The limits are very high and they do not address the much lower non-thermal impacts that come with use of today’s devices. Science has since proven there are many harmful non-thermal biological effects.
If you were to ask someone with the telecom industry if a cell tower or cell phone is safe, they probably will not tell you it is safe. Instead they may tell you it is FCC compliant. That’s the problem!
FCC compliance
does not equate with safety!
United States RF radiation exposure limits are 100 times higher than Italy, Switzerland, Poland, Russia, China and other countries. These guidelines do not account for exposure to multiple sources and only consider 30 minutes of exposure from one device at a time. How much exposure do we have in a day?
Government agencies, scientists, doctors, the American Academy of Pediatrics and others have asked the FCC to reassess the outdated guidelines (which were set by industry engineers, not scientists and doctors), especially to take into account children, pregnant women and the elderly and nothing has been done.
Most people are unaware that wireless technology was never tested for
long-term safety.
Why has nothing been done? Well, the FCC is run by former telecom representatives and the head of the FCC, Ajit Pai, is a former Verizon atorney. Enough said.
The FCC has been described by Harvard University’s Center for Ethics writer, Norm Alster, as “the most captured agency in DC,” acting more as an industry cheerleader than regulator.
Also, the telecom industry spends $60-$80 million per year on lobbying our elected officials.
Section 704 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act says environmental concerns cannot be used to regulate cellular antennas. Our courts read into this to include health. This needs to be repealed!
Many countries have already banned or restricted the use of WiFi and cell phones for children, and put provisions in place to protect pregnant women. The United States, however, is wonderful with innovation but slow to own up to the detrimental health impact this technology is causing.
In 2019, the New York Times printed two misleading, inaccurate articles about 5G indicating that Americans had nothing to worry about as far as health. Nothing could be further from the truth! Why? To protect its advertising revenue generated by the telecom industry. The New York Times has a 5G joint venture with Verizon.
In response, Dr. Devra Davis, an award-winning scientist, wrote two excellent articles setting the record straight. Please take a few minutes to read them:

“The recent headline of the NY Times trumpeted 5G as the “health hazard that isn’t.” Not so fast. A close examination of claims in that article indicates that it is time for a reset on the march to the latest wireless technology as the consequences could not be more monumental.” – Dr. Devra Davis, PhD
“Never in human history has there been such a practice as we now encounter with the marketing and distributing of products hostile to the human biological system by an industry with foreknowledge of those effects.” – Robert Kane, Motorola Senior Telecom Enginner
Our wireless devices are not as innocent as they seem. They all send and receive data through two-way microwave radiation. There are even fine print warnings in your devices to keep them off your head and body. Also, we all see it–screens are very addictive.
