France’s Proactive Approach to Wireless Radiation—and What It Means for U.S. Policy Under RFK Jr.

This is not the first time that the site "rfsafe" has praised the approach of France in protecting the population from exposure to wireless radiation, however they have failed to mention the testing of SAR levels of smartphones by the French National Frequency Agency (ANFR). The article comes with an excellent video.

France’s Proactive Approach to Wireless Radiation—and What It Means for U.S. Policy Under RFK Jr.

rfsafe.com, February 13, 2025

Can a single country transform the global conversation on technology and health? In the realm of wireless radiation, France has positioned itself as a leading voice by enacting policies that directly address potential health risks, especially for children. In stark contrast, the United States has long been criticized for regulatory inertia and outdated guidelines. Now, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—a vocal advocate for public health and corporate accountability—confirmed as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), many see a chance for meaningful reform.

This blog post delves into the specifics of France’s approach—from banning Wi-Fi in nursery schools to publicly disclosing radiation data—and scrutinizes how the U.S. has lagged behind. We’ll look at the roles of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the potential impact of RFK Jr. leading HHS. Along the way, we’ll examine scientific studies, highlight the vulnerable status of children, and outline a blueprint for responsible, health-focused wireless technology.

This article expands on a video transcript that compares France’s proactive stance with America’s current policies. We’ll add context, references, and a thorough analysis, rounding out a deeper narrative on how best to protect public health in an era of ubiquitous connectivity.

Background: Why Wireless Radiation Matters

Wireless radiation—often referred to as radiofrequency (RF) or electromagnetic radiation (EMR)—is a byproduct of all wireless technologies, including cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, 5G towers, and even certain smart-home devices. While the convenience of these technologies is undeniable, mounting scientific evidence suggests that long-term, low-level exposure may carry health risks. This includes non-thermal biological effects that occur without significantly heating tissue.

Since the mid-1990s, wireless usage has exploded, intensifying concerns. Today, many individuals—especially children—are exposed to continuous, low-level radiation from multiple sources. Because older regulatory standards often only consider thermal effects, questions linger about how best to adapt guidelines for the realities of modern, high-frequency, and near-constant usage.

France took an early, precautionary approach to these questions, passing laws in 2015 that recognized not only thermal but also possible non-thermal effects. These laws aim to protect especially vulnerable populations like infants and young children, setting an example that countries like the U.S. may be starting to emulate.
