Cellphone-Safety Advocate Wants FCC to Update Rules

Congress is expected to say that a year-long probe by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has found that cellphone-safety regulations set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) are out of date – particularly when it comes to how children may be affected by radio waves.

And the congressional finding once again put the spotlight on the issue of whether cellphones are safe or not, writes the Washington Post.

The agency’s radiation limit rules are 15 years old, which has led advocates to urge the FCC to consider the way consumers now carry their cell phones in their pockets for hours or the effect of cell-phone radio waves on children whose young skulls are thinner, according to the Washington Post.
