Children's Health Defense (CHD), a US advocacy group, is calling on the public to submit comments to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in ET Docket 13-84, which the FCC has reopened on the health and environmental impacts of wireless radiation. The docket responds to a 2021 appeals court ruling that found the FCC's retention of its 1996 radiofrequency exposure guidelines arbitrary and capricious. CHD writes that after it brought the FCC back into court this year, the court on August 24 gave the agency 30 days to explain its years of inaction. The group encourages personalized comments describing health effects, impacts on children, and observed effects on pets, wildlife, plants and the environment.

"The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is seeking public comments in ET Docket No. 13-84 as it responds to a federal court order requiring the agency to address evidence and concerns about the adverse health and environmental impacts of wireless radiation."

— Children's Health Defense

"In 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled that the FCC's decision to retain its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines was arbitrary and capricious because the FCC failed to consider a mountain of peer-reviewed scientific studies demonstrating serious biological harm."

— Children's Health Defense

"For over five years, the FCC has ignored the court's 2021 order. But after CHD dragged the FCC back into court earlier this year, the court issued an order on August 24, 2026 giving the FCC only 30 days to explain its years of inaction."

— Children's Health Defense

"And now, the FCC is reopening the record on the health and environmental impacts from RF radiation exposure. This is a critically important opportunity for all Americans experiencing negative health effects from RF radiation exposure to submit comments to the FCC and make your voices heard!"
