HHS Is Breaking Federal Law Public Law 90-602
An RF Safe commentary argues that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is violating Public Law 90-602 by failing to continuously update radiation-safety standards, asserting that no formal revisions have occurred since the mid-1980s. The post links this alleged inaction to continued public exposure from wireless technologies and calls for renewed long-term research and stricter exposure limits. It also claims the National Toxicology Program (NTP) was shut down in 2024 and references a 2021 court decision criticizing FCC RF rules, urging congressional action and new legislation.
Key points
- Claims Public Law 90-602 requires HHS to continuously update radiation-safety standards and alleges HHS has not issued formal revisions since the 1980s.
- Asserts FCC cell-phone exposure limits trace back to older ANSI standards and were incorporated into FCC guidance (OET Bulletin 65).
- Calls for “NTP 2.0” long-term, non-thermal, cradle-to-grave studies and for revising FCC limits based on NTP/Ramazzini findings (as characterized by the author).
- Alleges NTP was shut down in mid-2024 and frames this as reducing oversight after purported cancer findings.
- References Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act as enabling tower siting near sensitive locations and cites a 2021 federal court critique of FCC RF rules.
- Urges Congress to investigate HHS leadership and pass a proposed “Clean Ether Act,” promoting wired/LiFi approaches in schools.
