Safety Concerns
ProPublica on Wireless Radiation
This morning Peter Elkind, an investigative reporter at ProPublica, has published a detailed look at what the U.S. Federal Communications Commission has been doing on cellphone radiation —or more correctly, what the FCC has not been doing.
Some highlights:
- “It’s very natural for the FCC to listen to the industry,” said Ed Mantiply, a former
FCC staffer. “That’s their audience and who they deal with most of the time.” But, he added, “They’re answering to industry more than anything.”
- “We’re really in the middle of a paradigm shift,” said Linda Birnbaum, director of NTP, 2009-2019. It’s no longer right to assume cellphones are safe, she said. “Protective policy is needed today. We really don’t need more science to know that we should be reducing exposures.”
- Also quoted are Joel Moskowitz of UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health and me.
