RF Safe publishes a rebuttal to Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) after MBFC labeled RF Safe as “pseudoscience” with “mixed factual reporting” and “low credibility.” The article argues MBFC made factual errors about RF Safe’s research links and ownership/funding, and says MBFC has not corrected the entry despite requests. RF Safe also defends its framing of non-thermal RF/EMF effects as precautionary and grounded in peer-reviewed literature, while criticizing what it characterizes as superficial fact-checking.
Parametric analysis of electromagnetic wave interactions with layered biological tissues for varying frequency, polarization, and fat thickness
This PubMed-listed study models how RF electromagnetic waves interact with a simplified three-layer tissue structure (skin–fat–muscle) across common ISM bands (433, 915, 2450, 5800 MHz), varying polarization (TE/TM), incidence angle, and fat thickness. Using a custom MATLAB pipeline combining multilayer transmission-line methods, Cole–Cole dielectric parameters, and a steady-state Pennes bioheat solution, the authors estimate reflection, absorption, and resulting temperature rise. The simulations report small temperature increases at lower frequencies (433–915 MHz) and larger superficial heating at 5.8 GHz under the modeled conditions, highlighting how fat thickness and wave parameters modulate dosimetry and thermal outcomes.
Numerical Analysis of Human Head Exposure to Electromagnetic Radiation Due to 5G Mobile Phones
This conference paper uses numerical simulations to evaluate near-field exposure and thermal effects in a detailed human head model from a realistic 5G mobile phone operating at 26 GHz. The preliminary modeling suggests moderate, localized temperature increases in superficial tissues. The authors emphasize the need for higher-resolution models, refined tissue segmentation, longer exposure durations, and varied phone placements to better characterize potential impacts.
13.56 MHz RFID Module - From Application to Process Modelling and Effects on Human Health
This paper presents an application and numerical process modelling of a 13.56 MHz RFID module, including how nearby tags/cards and their positioning affect antenna characteristics. It also considers RFID operation near human tissues and discusses potential health impacts from prolonged EMF exposure at 13.56 MHz. The authors emphasize the importance of evaluating long-term exposure risks and call for additional scientific attention.
