Given that the ‘safe’ level established in 1996 already surpassed the evidence-based threshold-of-harm that thousands of scientific studies indicated, and given that we and our children are now in a wireless environment bombarded with higher and higher levels of radiation – cell-phone grids, wireless phones, Smartboards, plasma TV’s, computers, wireless Internet, ear phones, etc. – the public, especially children and elderly,  are being subjected to an ever-increasing virulent and toxic soup of radiation exposure.  And it is having dire consequences. \n\nChildren are demonstrating increasing levels of agitation, distractibility and sleeping disorders (from the students I taught back in 1978), due to wireless overstimulation.  There is also mitochondrial damage from over-exposure.  Recently, five wireless meters were added to end of my building, and my sleeping patterns have been affected. Further, adults and senior citizens are increasingly complaining of balance and disorientation issues that often result in serious injuries.  Humans are electromagnetic beings, just like other animals, and in the same way that geese or whales are disrupted in migratory routes by an overload of wireless radiation, humans are adversely impacted, as well. \n\nThese reckless dangers must stop. Our exposure guidelines are archaic and do not reflect the wireless soup in which we’re immersed.  Please protect public health by updating our current exposure-guidelines to appropriate safety levels that protect our people.\n\n","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1915","tags":["child-development","sleep-cognition","biology-metabolism","exposure-places","policy-standards","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"ca2d193e4ec1df5d6dff2042d1969ef506a1286fb120e4e320ae73e5d7f850bc","slug":"child-development-comment-1915","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1915","body_sha256":"6d4e7b3c4ec288b74146f93bb422dbcd46f14a52b01a5ebdf34b7f46b344a478","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"standards","topics":[{"id":"standards","evidence":"ecting public health by updating our current exposure-guidelines to appropriate safety levels that protect our people.\n"},{"id":"children","evidence":"sure.
