Kennedy, Jr. and the staff of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for at long last offering the general public as well as medical and scientific professionals the opportunity to inform you of the many adverse effects of RF/EMF infrastructure and devices. \n\nI am a U.S. citizen, writing as an individual consumer, who has been researching these adverse effects (with others who are equally knowledgeable and pro-active) for 7 years. I have written a number of Op-Ed submissions to my local newspaper, as well as made oral and written comments to my city council, RI General Assembly representatives, and to my federal Representative and Senators. Rather than summarize all of this work, I will attach them to this public comment. \n\nI will be addressing the following numbers as delineated in the Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure:\n#3. a.—focusing on cell tower placement, small cell antennas on utility poles in front of homes and schools, Wi-Fi, smart phones, cordless phones, so-called Smart Meters, and the wireless mesh required to run these meters\n#5—the total inadequacy of the 1996 FCC exposure guidelines (as well as the ICNIRP guidelines) to protect the public and the organic environment\n#9—exposure-related information should be disclosed to consumers, residents, workers, schools, healthcare providers, and local governments\n#10—the need for disease registries and environmental monitoring and reporting\n#11—pregnant women, embryos/fetuses, children, adolescents, adults, the elderly, those with implanted devices, and those with preexisting medical conditions all need to be considered\n#12—scientific evidence has existed for decades that establish harm from exposure many times lower than the 1996 guidelines \n\nPlease read and consider all of the testimony presented to you and acknowledge that the FCC’s1996 radiation exposure guidelines must be revised to protect human health and the organic environment.\n\nAttachments:\nWhite Paper on Scientific Evidence of Harm from Smart Meters\nLinks to Op-Ed Submissions\nWritten and Oral Comments to the RI Department of Environmental Management/Office of Air Resources Re: Sources of Air Pollution on the Pastore Center Campus\n","attachments":["https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1891/attachment_3.pdf","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1891/attachment_1.pdf","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1891/attachment_2.pdf","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1891/attachment_4.pdf"],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1891","tags":["child-development","exposure-places","policy-standards","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"8f4061f704c5c377b5bc526495303f727d012973c7e04edcfecd2d88038cb484","slug":"child-development-comment-1891","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1891","body_sha256":"6b674abdc82706ac48b484fef86a56096436468d359ab5176465ef74ce1c6ec2","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"standards","topics":[{"id":"standards","evidence":"ters\n#5—the total inadequacy of the 1996 FCC exposure guidelines (as well as the ICNIRP guidelines) to protect the publ"},{"id":"infrastructure","evidence":"eless Radiation Exposure:\n#3. a.—focusing on cell tower placement, small cell antennas on utility poles in fro"},{"id":"wifi","evidence":"utility poles in front of homes and schools, Wi-Fi, smart phones, cordless phones, so-called Smart Meters"},{"id":"smart-meters","evidence":"Fi, smart phones, cordless phones, so-called Smart Meters, and the wireless mesh required to run these meters\n#5"},{"id":"research","evidence":"ders, and local governments\n#10—the need for disease registries and environmental monitoring and reporting\n#11—pregnan"},{"id":"children","evidence":"porting\n#11—pregnant women, embryos/fetuses, children, adolescents, adults, the elderly, those with implante"},{"id":"reproductive","evidence":"d environmental monitoring and reporting\n#11—pregnant women, embryos/fetuses, children, adolescents, adults, the e"},{"id":"environment","evidence":"RP guidelines) to protect the public and the organic environment\n#9—exposure-related information should be disclosed to"}],"summary":"Requests revised exposure standards, disclosure, disease registries and environmental monitoring, emphasizing vulnerable populations and exposures from towers, Wi-Fi and smart meters.
