The FCC is a Captured Agency
Protect the Environment
The 5G report recommends U.S. federal agencies coordinate “to protect people, wildlife, and the environment from harmful levels of radiation” and states "until there is federal action, New Hampshire should take the initiative to protect its environment."
Scientists Testified. The FCC and FDA Did Not.
Testimony was presented to the commission by numerous experts, including the US National Toxicology Program scientists Dr. Michael Wyde and Dr. John Bucher (PPT) who conducted the large-scale studies on cell phone radiation. The NTP study found clear evidence of brain cancer and DNA damage in animals exposed to cell phone radiation.
During the Oct. 31, 2019, meeting with NTP scientists, New Hampshire Commissioner Denise Ricciardi asked, "Your study was designed to test nonheating damage. You found damage so doesn’t that mean that FCC assumption that only heating can cause damage is incorrect and no longer accurate? Would you agree?"
Dr. Wyde responded, "A lot of people believe unless you heat tissues, you won’t see health effects with RF. This study disproves that as we did not have overheating but we did see damage."
The FCC and FDA did not respond to the commission’s request for testimony, and the FDA did not fully answer the commission's questions. The National Cancer Institute
told the commission that it does not make recommendations or issue guidelines and is not aware of any federal agency mandated to ensure wireless signals are safe for trees, plants, insects or birds.
