Phonegate Alert has republished three articles by Nicolas Bérard from the October 2026 issue of the French monthly L'âge de faire, with the passages it considers important highlighted. They examine the Agence nationale des fréquences (ANFR), the French agency that measures public exposure and checks handset emissions: its December 2025 decision to raise the atypical-point threshold from 6 to 9 volts per metre, and the arrival on 1 April 2026 of Michel Combot, until 2023 the chief lobbyist of the French mobile operators, as deputy director general. The third article revisits the SAR testing behind Phonegate.
Note: Alerte Phonegate (Phonegate Alert) is a French non-profit association led by Dr Marc Arazi that campaigns for independent and transparent testing of mobile phone radiation.
