At sufficiently high exposure levels, RF energy can heat biological tissue and cause harm. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies RF electromagnetic fields as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2B). I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence.\n\nI urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.\n\nThank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1676","tags":["cancer-tumors","child-development","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"0aa7637408a8ec76481fcdede7d000d9e1768cf69596c2cb10af1ff4b30d0c99","slug":"cancer-tumors-comment-1676","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1676","body_sha256":"fb3ab37aa101ce5f80f887bd734fb9cca6a8c8730e458bf5e01efe4d3f42da6b","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"research","topics":[{"id":"research","evidence":"pulations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.\n\nThank"},{"id":"cancer","evidence":"RC) classifies RF electromagnetic fields as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2B).
