The Clean Ether Light Age Roadmap
RF Safe argues for a transition from microwave-based wireless (cellular/Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth) to light-based communications (e.g., Li‑Fi) to reduce indoor RF exposure. The piece claims chronic, low-level RF exposure may pose health risks beyond heating and calls for a precautionary approach, while also criticizing U.S. legal and regulatory frameworks it says limit local control and rely on older, heat-focused assumptions.
Key points
- Promotes a “Light Age” roadmap where indoor wireless data uses light (Li‑Fi) and microwave RF is minimized indoors.
- Claims RF is “biologically active” and argues the key dispute is non-thermal effects (dose, timing, modulation, long-term exposure).
- Asserts multiple lines of evidence raise concern (e.g., oxidative stress, DNA damage, fertility, sleep/neurological patterns), while acknowledging interpretation is debated.
- Criticizes FCC exposure limits as based on “1990s, heat-only assumptions” and frames Section 704 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act as restricting local health considerations in antenna siting.
- Calls for renewed federal research/standards activity under the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968 and for policy changes to enable “safer infrastructure.”
