OVER 1,800 COMMENTS. TWO WEEKS LEFT. THE PUBLIC IS SPEAKING UP. Public participation in HHS’s wireless-radiation review keeps growing. RF Safe’s archive now contains 1,836 comments—a substantial public response on an issue that deserves serious attention. The EMF request has already drawn far more comments than several other recent requests across HHS and its agencies, including those on pharmacy contracting and public-health data exchange. People are putting their concerns into the federal record. Now it’s your turn. If you believe wireless exposure needs stronger research, better oversight, or greater protection for children, tell HHS. Share your experience, identify the questions you want answered, and explain what action you want the Department to take. The deadline is October 21, 2026—just two weeks away. This is civic participation with a purpose: making sure public-health concerns are heard and documented. Submit your comment to HHS regulations.gov/commenton/HH… Explore the public comments at RF Safe rfsafe.org/forum/threads/ We the people are speaking up. Make sure your voice is in the record.

The Clean Ether Act: RF Safe proposes a Clean Ether Act as a technology-positive public-health law. Its purpose is not to abolish wireless communication. Its purpose is to remove unnecessary RF from close proximity to children, modernize exposure science, and force the market toward biologically compatible design. The Clean Air Act did not require society to stop using transportation. It forced technology to stop externalizing lead and other pollutants into the public environment. A Clean Ether Act should apply the same principle to wireless infrastructure: preserve the service, reduce the biological burden, measure what matters, and protect those who cannot consent. Replace thermal assurance with biological protection Congress should direct EPA, NIEHS, FDA, and FCC to conduct a transparent quantitative RF risk assessment using: animal cancer evidence; reproductive and developmental toxicity; neurological and sleep endpoints; oxidative and genotoxic evidence; waveform and modulation effects; susceptible-population uncertainty factors; cumulative and multi-source exposure; recovery and chronicity. Limits should distinguish average energy, peaks, pulse structure, duty cycle, and chronic cumulative exposure. They should be reviewed on a fixed schedule and revised as evidence changes. Establish child-priority low-RF environments Childcare, K–12 classrooms, pediatric and maternity care, libraries’ children’s spaces, and sleeping areas in publicly supported housing should use: fiber and Ethernet as the default backbone; wired ports and power at desks, beds, teaching walls, and devices; optical wireless for mobility where appropriate; minimum transmit power and duty cycle; radios off by default when wire or light is available; scheduled low-RF recovery and sleep periods; public documentation of unavoidable exposure. Mandate Li-Fi compatibility IEEE ratified the 802.11bb light-communications standard in 2023. Li-Fi uses visible or infrared optical carriers and can provide room-confined, high-bandwidth connectivity without adding microwave traffic. The Act should require a staged transition in federal procurement: laptops, tablets, phones, classroom equipment, and medical devices should support IEEE 802.11bb or a vendor-neutral optical interface; new schools, hospitals, childcare facilities, and major renovations should be optical-ready; federal grants should fund multi-vendor pilots and deployment; open standards should prevent vendor lock-in; RF fallback should remain available for emergency, outdoor mobility, accessibility, and legacy needs during transition. Li-Fi is not required to replace every radio link to transform exposure. Moving routine indoor traffic to fiber, Ethernet, and light would remove a major portion of avoidable close-proximity RF while improving security, spatial reuse, and network control. Restore local authority Section 704 should be amended so FCC limits operate as a federal floor, not a ceiling that prevents communities from protecting child-priority spaces. Local rules should remain evidence-based, nondiscriminatory, and technically feasible, while allowing setbacks, lower-power designs, co-location, fiber preference, and optical alternatives. Local democracy cannot remain gagged by compliance with a standard the federal government has not adequately justified. Give the public the right to know Devices should display: which radios are active; current transmit power; duty cycle and proximity state; the distance and configuration used in compliance testing; a low-exposure operating mode; optional privacy-preserving cumulative exposure information. Fixed facilities should publish operating power, antenna patterns, and time-varying exposure estimates in machine-readable form. Restore independent research The Act should rebuild a protected NTP/NIEHS RF program capable of testing current and future technologies. Funding should be firewalled from industry, standards bodies, and advocacy organizations. Protocols should be preregistered, exposure systems independently validated, pathology blinded, data open, and publication guaranteed regardless of outcome.
