Introduction A 2025 review article published in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Public Health examines the current U.S. regulatory framework governing radiofrequency radiation (RFR) exposure limits for wireless technologies. The paper, titled: “U.S. policy on wireless technologies and public health protection: regulatory gaps and proposed reforms” analyzes how federal exposure standards are set, which agencies hold oversight responsibility, and where regulatory gaps may exist.

BioInitiative Report: Summary of Findings on Wireless Radiation and Health
The BioInitiative Report is a comprehensive, independent scientific assessment of the health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from wireless technologies, including cell towers, Wi-Fi, cordless phones, and mobile devices. It is widely cited in public health discussions and policy debates worldwide. When the Report Was Written and Updated Who Wrote and Reviewed the Report The BioInitiative Report was authored and reviewed by an international, multidisciplinary group of experts, including: The report was edited and coordinated […]

In 2022, a peer-reviewed article published in Frontiers in Public Health examined the scientific assumptions underlying current radiofrequency (RF) exposure limits adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The paper, titled “Scientific evidence invalidates health assumptions underlying the FCC and ICNIRP exposure limit determinations for radiofrequency radiation: implications for 5G,” evaluates long-term exposure research, carcinogenicity classifications, and precautionary approaches such as ALARA, raising questions about whether […]
