Moms Across America requests reassessment of federal RF limits with particular attention to children, chronic exposure, nonthermal effects, and device testing. The commenter cites the FCC court remand and urges manufacturers to alter pulse variations.

  • Exposure limits & oversight: “comprehensive, and transparent reassessment of federal radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure standards”
  • Children & vulnerable groups: “children's developing bodies”
  • Research & federal duties: “independent research”
  • Wi-Fi & indoor exposure: “routers in homes, wireless access points in schools”

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
See attached file(s) Protect Our Children First: Urgent Call for Updated, Science-Based Wireless Radiation Safety Standards To: Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) My name is Zen Honeycutt, and I am the Founder and Executive Director of Moms Across America, a national educational nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering mothers and families to create healthy, non-toxic environments for our children. On behalf of Moms Across America, I am calling upon the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), in coordination with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), to undertake an immediate, comprehensive, and transparent reassessment of federal radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure standards, with particular attention to children's developing bodies, long-term exposures, and potential biological effects beyond tissue heating. The FCC's current RF exposure limits were adopted in 1996 and subsequently retained. Although these standards address established adverse effects associated with RF exposure, they have not been comprehensively revised to reflect the enormous changes in wireless technology and patterns of human exposure over the past three decades. Today, children routinely encounter wireless devices in classrooms, homes, and public spaces. They may experience exposures from multiple sources over many years, beginning during prenatal development. The fact is that close and constant exposure to devices such as routers in homes, wireless access points in schools, and hot spots in hospitals harms human health. We believe this exposure environment warrants renewed scientific scrutiny, independent research, and reasonable precautionary protections. The federal courts have already recognized the need for greater accountability. In Environmental Health Trust et al. v. FCC (2021), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit found that the FCC had not adequately explained its decision to retain existing RF exposure guidelines with respect to potential harmful effects unrelated to cancer. The court directed the FCC to address several important issues, including: Potential effects of RF exposure on children Pulse variations and possible changes which could reduce harm Health implications of long-term exposure The widespread use of wireless devices and technological developments The adequacy of existing device-testing procedures Potential environmental impacts on trees, animals, aquatic life, and insects This decision provides a compelling legal and public-health basis for renewed review of existing federal protections. We request action. Th ecell phones and router can be made safer by altering the pulse variations. The manufacturers just nee dto be required to do so. Please see the attached comment for further details. Zen Honeycutt
