Although I believe I have been adversely affected by these technologies, predominantly with chronic insomnia and a general feeling of malaise, I think my symptoms pale in comparison to many others. I have attended informational meetings and listened to people who were experiencing far more severe symptoms. One person had to move out of his apartment, struggled to find a suitable and affordable rental, and was staying with friends and family, which did not bring him relief. Parents were concerned for their children. My biggest concern is for the children, wildlife, and all sentient beings. These technologies are adversely impacting all creatures. Plus, the equipment and towers are an eyesore. The FCC doesn't seem to care and neither do most of our elected representatives. If they cared, they would take action and ameliorate the situation. \n\n\nI 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-2026-0397-1184","tags":["child-development","health-experiences","sleep-cognition","exposure-places","policy-standards","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"a68abc47221ca13afa8c73bbae58a43c5d7c15769de74ffc5cbd0851b6916016","slug":"child-development-comment-1184","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1184","body_sha256":"9099775c900a54f6612706a95b743dccdf6dafb84acb630c2b724bed2659e64c","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"neurological","topics":[{"id":"neurological","evidence":"ed by these technologies, predominantly with chronic insomnia and a general feeling of malaise, I think my symptoms "},{"id":"access","evidence":" far more severe symptoms.
