Executive Summary

Independent Voices RF Safe Nov 15, 2025

RF Safe’s “Executive Summary” argues that non-thermal radiofrequency/microwave exposures from modern wireless technologies can disrupt biological processes, proposing ion-channel voltage-sensor interference as a key mechanism leading to oxidative stress and inflammation. It cites animal studies (NTP and Ramazzini) and claims a WHO-commissioned 2025 systematic review found “high certainty” evidence of increased cancer in animals, and it points to epidemiological trends as suggestive. The piece also criticizes U.S. regulation as focused on thermal effects, highlighting FCC limits dating to 1996 and referencing a 2021 U.S. court ruling that faulted the FCC for not addressing non-thermal evidence.

Acoustic Pressures in the Head From Pulsed Microwaves: Can They Explain "Anomalous" Health Incidents? (Havana syndrome)

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This article reviews the microwave auditory effect (perceived clicks/buzzing) that can occur when the head is exposed to pulsed microwave energy, such as from radar. It explores whether this phenomenon could plausibly explain reported “anomalous health incidents” (Havana syndrome), noting that experts and formal panels have suggested it as a possible explanation. The authors emphasize that potential links between pulsed microwave exposures, audible sensations, and other physiological impacts warrant careful consideration and further research.

Acoustic Pressures in the Head from Pulsed Microwaves: Can They Explain the Havana Syndrome?

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This preprint discusses the microwave auditory effect, in which pulsed microwave exposure can produce perceived clicks or buzzing sensations. It considers whether acoustic pressures in the head generated by pulsed microwaves could explain health conditions such as "Havana Syndrome." The abstract emphasizes evaluating potential risks from electromagnetic field exposures but does not provide specific methods or quantitative results.

Headaches from cellular telephones: are they real and what are the implications?

Research RF Safe Research Library Mar 1, 1998

This review discusses reports of headaches occurring with hand-held cellular telephone use and argues they are likely real and attributable to telephone emissions. It points to earlier reports of headaches from low-intensity microwave exposure and proposes biological plausibility via effects on the blood-brain barrier and dopamine-opiate systems. The author raises the possibility that such headaches could signal biologically significant effects.
