Below is a selection of compelling peer-reviewed research published by scientists around the world since 2021, when the Federal Communications Commission received its court mandate to respond to science on health and environmental impacts of RF radiation. It has taken five years, but the FCC recently responded with a request for scientific evidence. You can help send that evidence.
Has EHT already submitted thousands of pages of evidence as part of the court case? Of course we have. But the FCC and HHS are both currently requesting information from the public, and that’s where you come in. Since the 2021 court order, scientific studies have continued to roll in supporting a more cautious approach to use and regulation of wireless radiation. We have collected a selection of that research, ready to download and share with the two government agencies.
It has been made to clear to EHT that the most impactful comments to the agencies will be the ones accompanied by supporting research. We are concerned that comments of personal experience alone will not be seriously considered; please make sure to include at minimum one study (preferably more!) with your comment.
The FCC is under court order to consider the science when creating safety regulations around proliferation of wireless technology. The HHS under leadership by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr has committed to conducting more research into human health impacts of this technology. The agencies are seeking public comment until October 21 (HHS) and 22, 2026 (FCC).
The links below go to free access versions of the studies. Please take a moment to download pdfs, and then include those pdfs as attachments with your comment to both the FCC and HHS. This is your chance to make a difference!
After selecting a study to include, please continue scrolling and follow the instructions at the bottom of this page to upload it to the FCC and HHS.

How To File Public Comments with the FCC and HHS on RF Exposure Issues
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) have issued separate requests for input from the public on the health impacts of RF radiation. These are two separate requests for public comment, and the most impact will be achieved by submitting to both.
Instructions to Submit to the FCC
Prepare your comment offline to upload as a document or PDF, and include at least one other upload with supporting research. In total, you may upload 100 MB of attachments to the FCC. Follow these instructions to submit your comment and supporting data:
- Use the form at the FCC’s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS), being sure to fill all fields with red asterisks.
- In the “Proceeding(s)” field, enter 13-84. A dropdown will appear where you can select the proceeding, “Reassessment of Federal Communications Commission Radiofrequency Exposure Limits and Policies.”
- Enter your name.
- Under “Type of Filing” select “Comment” from the drop-down menu.
- Enter your address.
- Upload your file or files. After your comments are uploaded, they should become publicly accessible within 24 hours.
Comments are being accepted until October 22, 2026.
Instructions to Submit Comments to HHS
The HHS request for comment has a space to compose comments directly on the website. You will be able to copy the comment you write to the FCC and paste it directly into the HHS form to share with both agencies.
Here is the process for submitting the HHS comment:
- Review the full HHS Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields, Radiofrequency Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure.
- Go to the Comment page for docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397and type or paste your comment in the space provided.
