11. Current FCC RF safety policy leaves the public and wildlife unprotected from the hazards of long-term, low-intensity exposures. The U.S. has no Federal mechanism to protect human and wildlife health from adverse biological impacts of long-term exposure to RF radiation emitted from broadcast, radar, cell phone and personal wireless antennas.

12. RF Radiation Pollution is a Public Health Issue FCC is not a health agency. FCC RF Safety limits: Come from private industry groups Provide protection only from heating effects. Allow more radiation than many countries. Ignore all studies showing non-thermal biological effects. Are based on studies published before 1986.
