RF Safe argues that HHS is not complying with Public Law 90-602’s requirements to run an electronic product radiation control program, support research, and make results publicly available. The post claims the National Toxicology Program (NTP) RF bioeffects work was halted in 2024 and has not restarted, and calls for…

This RF Safe article argues that persistent low-intensity, pulsed RF exposure could disrupt the timing of voltage-gated ion channel activity by affecting the S4 voltage-sensing region, leading to downstream changes in calcium/proton signaling, mitochondrial stress, and immune dysregulation. It proposes a mechanistic…

This policy-focused paper contends that U.S. oversight of radiofrequency radiation from wireless technologies is outdated and insufficient, with exposure limits and testing approaches not aligned with modern long-term, chronic exposure scenarios. It emphasizes gaps in protections for children, pregnancy, vulnerable…

This animal study exposed male Sprague Dawley rats to 2.45 GHz Wi-Fi for varying daily durations over eight weeks and assessed reproductive hormones and LHCGR expression. Serum LH and testosterone did not differ significantly from controls, but LHCGR mRNA increased with longer exposure and LHCGR protein showed…

This study assessed whether sleeping with versus without a mobile phone (two-week intervals) affects sleep in medical students, using smartwatch-based monitoring. It reports no statistically significant differences in sleep quality or time spent in wakefulness, REM, light, or deep sleep between conditions. The…

This rat study examined 60-day RF-EMF exposure at 3.5 GHz and 24 GHz for 1 or 7 hours per day and assessed testicular cytokines, apoptosis-related gene expression, and sperm quality. The authors report changes consistent with altered immune signaling and pro-apoptotic pathways, alongside reduced sperm parameters…

This animal study used metabolomics to assess metabolic changes in male Drosophila melanogaster exposed to 3.5 GHz RF-EMF at 0.1, 1, and 10 W/m². It reports disruptions in four metabolic pathways and 34 differential metabolites, with significant decreases in several metabolites including GABA, glucose-6-phosphate,…

This laboratory study tested combined effects of constant temperature and RF exposure on development of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus from hatching to adult emergence. Temperature was reported as the primary determinant of developmental timing, with optimal development around 302C. RF exposure (900 MHz and 18…

This mouse study examined whether cell phone radiation affects T lymphocytes over 2–8 weeks of exposure. CD4 and CD8 subset percentages were similar across groups, but after more than six weeks, exposed groups showed increased T-cell apoptosis and reduced transformation rates compared with shams. The study also…

This in vitro study exposed yeast suspensions to 2.45 GHz near-field microwave radiation at 2 cm and 4 cm for 20 or 60 minutes. It reports oxidative-stress-related changes (reduced antioxidant activity with increased membrane permeability) after 20 minutes at 2 cm, an effect not reproduced by conventional heating.…

This ex-vivo experimental study tested whether electromagnetic fields from a commercial hair dryer affect microleakage of class V dental amalgam restorations in 100 extracted human teeth. Several exposure groups showed significantly higher dye-penetration microleakage scores than the unexposed control, while one…

This in vitro study exposed HT-1080 human fibrosarcoma cells for 4 days to weak extremely low frequency magnetic fields (10 μT, 12–33 Hz) superimposed on a 45 μT static field. The authors report frequency- and amplitude-dependent increases or decreases in cell growth, including sharp inversions near 16.5 Hz with…

This study estimated thresholds and locus for human phosphene perception during non-invasive transcranial alternating current stimulation at 20, 50, 60, and 100 Hz. Perception depended significantly on stimulation intensity, with the lowest threshold at 20 Hz and no reported phosphenes at 100 Hz. The authors report…

This paper is a commentary reviewing how Bradford Hill’s epidemiological criteria can be applied to multidisciplinary evidence on RF-EMF exposure and adverse health effects. It reports that systematic reviews and meta-analyses in this area often reach substantially different conclusions, and argues that key…

This biophysics study used molecular dynamics simulations to examine how terahertz electromagnetic fields affect ion permeation in voltage-gated potassium (Kv1.2) and sodium (Nav1.5) channels. The simulations report increased ion permeability at several specific terahertz frequencies, with effects depending on field…

This animal study exposed juvenile and young adult Wistar rats to 5G (3.5 GHz) or 2G (900 MHz) radiofrequency fields (1.5 V/m) for 1–2 weeks and measured brown adipose tissue-related gene expression by RT-qPCR. The abstract reports significant downregulation of PRDM16 and C/EBP mRNA after 5G exposure, while…

This study presents an open-source Python framework to simulate magnetic fields around high-voltage power lines using the Biot–Savart law with ground-air boundary conditions. Under the modeled conditions, the horizontal conductor configuration produced peak magnetic flux densities up to 120 µT and 104.2 µT at 1.5 m…
