Telecommunications health and safety: US FCC affirms its current safety limits for RF radiation and 5G wireless

Citing support of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), the United States' Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced in December, 2019, that it reaffirmed the radio-frequency (RF) radiation exposure limits that it had first adopted in 1996 [1]. The action was undertaken in the face of appeals from some to tighten and others to loosen the existing limits.
