Better real-world personal and environmental dosimetry is needed to characterize actual cumulative exposure from phones, Wi-Fi, base stations, IoT, and emerging sources rather than relying solely on worst-case or compliance-test scenarios. Standardized methods for population-level monitoring would strengthen future epidemiological research and public communication.

Federal Research Priorities

Highest-value gaps include:

Long-term prospective studies of childhood and adolescent exposure with objective exposure assessment.

Improved characterization of multi-source, real-world cumulative exposure.

Independent replication and clarification of animal findings at environmentally relevant levels.

Transparent, high-quality systematic reviews that fully address methodological concerns raised about recent WHO-commissioned work.

Coordination across NIH, FDA, CDC, and FCC so research informs both health guidance and exposure standards.
