We should do the same. Additionally, the cell phones check for the closest cell tower every few seconds when the phone is on which radiates the body for hours a day. I see teenage girls carrying them in their back pocket resulting in colon cancer rates increasing in younger people. Instruct the cell phone companies to only check for the closest cell tower when a call is being made. https://saferemrtechnology.org.nz/2024/11/11/could-mobile-phone-radiation-be-contributing-to-colon-and-rectal-cancer/","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4598","tags":["cancer-tumors","exposure-places"],"source_hash":"42736587fa75c262cf073e9f658fe525ec7c19612046c1452b51d64c4e63e420","slug":"cancer-tumors-comment-4598","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4598","body_sha256":"cdd0d2c8af3c4f30a44c3a52b6b74a329e181f12812c869a8f4d77c7a0460f8c","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"standards","topics":[{"id":"standards","evidence":"ed a new standard requiring cellphones to be tested for radiation while touching the body — which is how people actually carry and use cellphones: in a po"},{"id":"cancer","evidence":"rying them in their back pocket resulting in colon cancer rates increasing in younger people.
