Tell the FCC How You’ve Been Impacted by Wireless Radiation

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is seeking public comments in ET Docket No. 13-84 as it responds to a federal court order requiring the agency to address evidence and concerns about the adverse health and environmental impacts of wireless radiation.

In 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled that the FCC’s decision to retain its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines was arbitrary and capricious because the FCC failed to consider a mountain of peer-reviewed scientific studies demonstrating serious biological harm. The court ordered the FCC to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination that its RF exposure guidelines adequately protect humans and the environment against the harmful effects of such exposure.

Specifically, the Court directed the FCC to address:

• The impacts of RF radiation on children.
• The health implications of long-term exposure to RF radiation.
• The ubiquity of wireless devices and technological developments since the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines were last updated in 1996.
• The impacts of RF radiation on the environment.
• The adequacy of the FCC’s RF radiation testing procedures for cell phones and other portable wireless devices.

For over five years, the FCC has ignored the court’s 2021 order. But after CHD dragged the FCC back into court earlier this year, the court issued an order on August 24, 2026 giving the FCC only 30 days to explain its years of inaction. And now, the FCC is reopening the record on the health and environmental impacts from RF radiation exposure. This is a critically important opportunity for all Americans experiencing negative health effects from RF radiation exposure to submit comments to the FCC and make your voices heard!

We must build a strong record in the FCC docket now! Tell the FCC why we need more stringent RF radiation exposure standards in the United States.

We especially encourage you to personalize the sample message below with your own experience. You can describe RF radiation-related health effects experienced by you or your family, including cancer or non-cancerous effects; impacts on children; experiences with long-term or increasing RF radiation exposure; concerns involving cell phones, Wi-Fi, cell towers or other sources of RF radiation; and/or impacts you have observed on pets,wildlife, plants or the environment. You can also share with the FCC how many cell towers and other wireless telecommunications facilities are located near your home.
