RF Safe argues that non-thermal RF and ELF electromagnetic fields can have biological effects via a proposed “S4–Mito–Spin” framework, challenging the regulatory position that effects below heating thresholds are implausible. The article claims EMFs may couple into biology through voltage-gated ion channel S4 segments, mitochondria/NADPH oxidases (oxidative stress amplification), and spin-dependent radical-pair chemistry in redox cofactors. It presents this as a unifying mechanism intended to explain reported findings across cancer, fertility, immune, and blood-related studies, but it is framed as a conceptual synthesis rather than new peer-reviewed experimental results in the post itself.

RF Safe argues that non-native RF-EMF affects biology primarily through voltage-gated ion channels (VGICs), proposing an “Ion Forced Oscillation” model in which pulsed RF signal components influence the S4 voltage sensor and downstream cellular signaling. The post frames electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) as a continuum of individual sensitivity thresholds to a proposed VGIC → mitochondrial ROS → immune activation cascade, rather than a distinct condition. It cites multiple external studies and reviews (including a WHO-commissioned animal review) to support a mechanistic narrative linking RF exposure to oxidative stress, inflammation, and certain tumor findings in rodents, but the article itself is a mechanistic/interpretive argument rather than original research.

RF Safe publishes a mechanistic white-paper-style post arguing that pulsed/low-frequency components of RF exposure could introduce “phase noise” into voltage-gated ion channel (VGIC) voltage sensors (S4), degrading the timing of membrane potentials and calcium (Ca²⁺) oscillations that immune cells use for activation and tolerance decisions. The post claims such timing disruption could mis-set immune thresholds, promote inflammation, and trigger mitochondrial ROS and mtDNA release that sustains a feed-forward inflammatory loop. It frames reported tumor patterns in animal bioassays (e.g., cardiac schwannomas, gliomas) as consistent with this proposed “timing-fidelity” mechanism, while acknowledging competing views on whether RF at current limits can couple to VGICs.

This conference paper uses COMSOL Multiphysics simulations to evaluate thermal and SAR-based exposure limits for modeled human skin exposed to terahertz radiation (0.1–5 THz). The authors report negligible temperature increases at power densities consistent with keeping SAR below 1.6 W/kg, but note that higher power densities can yield minimal heating while producing SAR values above recognized safety thresholds. They conclude that existing sub-THz standards are not directly transferable to the full THz band and call for updated guidelines, especially for prolonged exposure.

This paper evaluates and critiques 12 WHO-commissioned systematic reviews and meta-analyses on RF-EMF health effects across outcomes including cancer and reproductive endpoints. It argues that serious methodological flaws and limitations in the WHO reviews prevent them from providing assurance of safety for cell phones and other wireless devices. The authors highlight reported evidence in the animal cancer review (high certainty for heart schwannomas; moderate certainty for brain gliomas) and describe dose-related adverse effects on male fertility and reproductive outcomes, including at exposure levels below current ICNIRP thresholds.

This study used computational dosimetry to analyze induced electric fields in a realistic human body model for a 60 Hz magnetic-field exposure system targeting the leg. Simulations indicated high EF intensities in several leg nerves and modeled conditions consistent with possible peripheral nerve stimulation. The MRG model produced lower stimulation thresholds than the SENN model, and nerve orientation was reported as a key determinant of stimulation risk.

This study estimated thresholds and locus for human phosphene perception during non-invasive transcranial alternating current stimulation at 20, 50, 60, and 100 Hz. Perception depended significantly on stimulation intensity, with the lowest threshold at 20 Hz and no reported phosphenes at 100 Hz. The authors report dosimetry consistent with a retinal origin and frame the findings as relevant for informing cautious ELF exposure limits in safety guidelines.

This policy brief focuses on how RF-EMF exposure should be quantified in health research, emphasizing the role of near-field sources and proposing cumulative dose (J/kg/day) as a health-relevant metric. It reports mean cumulative dose estimates of 0.29 J/kg/day for the whole body and 0.81 J/kg/day for the brain. The brief notes established RF-EMF effects (heating, microwave hearing under highly pulsed radiation, and stimulation) and discusses indications of biological effects below thermal thresholds, while stating that improved metrics do not by themselves confirm harm.
