EHT Wins in EHT v. FCC Federal Lawsuit | Press Conference With EHT President Dr. Devra Davis

In an historic decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled on Aug. 13, 2021, in favor of environmental health groups and petitioners, finding the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) violated the Administrative Procedure Act and failed to respond to comments on environmental harm. The court ruled that the decision by the FCC to retain its 1996 safety limits for human exposure to wireless radiation was “arbitrary and capricious.” and held that the FCC failed to respond to “record evidence that exposure to RF radiation at levels below the Commission’s current limits may cause negative health effects unrelated to cancer.” Further, the agency demonstrated “a complete failure to respond to comments concerning environmental harm caused by RF radiation.” The court found the FCC ignored numerous organizations, scientists and medical doctors who called on them to update limits and the court found the FCC failed to address these issues.
