I am submitting these comments to address the critical public-health implications of prolonged, cumulative, multi-source radiofrequency (RF) and electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure, conducted electrical interference (dirty electricity), electrohypersensitivity (EHS), and lighting/electrical stressors in homes, schools, and communities.\n\nThe attached document outlines specific concerns and actionable recommendations regarding:\n- Children and Educational Environments: The impacts of dense wireless infrastructure, school-mandated Chromebooks, and classroom lighting/dimmers.\n- Real-World Aggregate Exposure: The necessity of measuring cumulative environmental loads beyond isolated laboratory conditions.\n- Systemic and Neurological Health: Biological plausibility, mitochondrial health, sleep architecture, and the lived realities of electrohypersensitive individuals.\n- Practical Engineering Alternatives: Proximity reduction, wired Ethernet alternatives (USB-to-RJ45 adapters), manual wireless radio deactivation, and transparent parental disclosure in schools.\n\nThank you for your time, independent research, and consideration of these public health safeguards.\n\nRespectfully submitted,\n\nRichard Anthony\nIndividual member of the public / consumer / family and community perspective\n\nDocket No.: HHS-OASH-2026-0397","attachments":["https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1166/attachment_1.pdf"],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1166","tags":["child-development","health-experiences","sleep-cognition","biology-metabolism","exposure-places","policy-standards","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"9d586850156aa0c2ac1308c663668994172349f2ad9aa68cee0e633428321135","slug":"child-development-comment-1166","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1166","body_sha256":"f9afefb3f604ede5bed7993692a4eae0c2108bc0c4fabb227058e591a9c31620","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"children","topics":[{"id":"children","evidence":" and actionable recommendations regarding:\n- Children and Educational Environments: The impacts of dense wireless infrastructure, school-"},{"id":"electricity","evidence":"exposure, conducted electrical interference (dirty electricity), electrohypersensitivity (EHS), and lighting/electric"},{"id":"ehs","evidence":"electrical interference (dirty electricity), electrohypersensitivity (EHS), and lighting/electrical stressors in homes, sch"},{"id":"headlights","evidence":"astructure, school-mandated Chromebooks, and classroom lighting/dimmers.\n- Real-World Aggregate Exposure: The necessity of mea"},{"id":"neurological","evidence":"ological plausibility, mitochondrial health, sleep architecture, and the lived realities of electrohypersensitive indi"},{"id":"mechanisms","evidence":"eurological Health: Biological plausibility, mitochondrial health, sleep architecture, and the lived realities of electr"},{"id":"optical","evidence":"gineering Alternatives: Proximity reduction, wired Ethernet alternatives (USB-to-RJ45 adapters), manual wireless r"},{"id":"research","evidence":"losure in schools.\n\nThank you for your time, independent research, and consideration of these public health safeguards.\n"},{"id":"wifi","evidence":" alternatives (USB-to-RJ45 adapters), manual wireless radio deactivation, and transparent parental disclosure in schools.\n\nThan"}],"summary":"Outlines concerns about cumulative wireless exposure, wiring interference and lighting in schools and homes.
