Reports sleep concerns and requests independent long-term research, transparent monitoring and precaution…

I am writing to express my serious concerns about the increasing exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation from cell towers, particularly in residential neighborhoods and near homes where families and children spend much of their time. I have personally experienced sleep disturbances, difficulty getting restful sleep, and negative effects on my overall physical well-being that I am concerned may be associated with exposure to nearby wireless infrastructure. I believe the potential long-term health consequences of continuous, involuntary exposure deserve much greater investigation. I am so concerned about wireless radiation exposure that I even make an effort to turn off my own Wi-Fi router, particularly at night, to reduce unnecessary exposure while my family sleeps. I believe individuals should have the ability to make these decisions within their own homes. However, regardless of the precautions I take, I have no control over the radiation emitted by nearby cell towers and other wireless infrastructure. This is particularly frustrating because I can take reasonable steps to limit exposure from devices inside my home, yet I cannot meaningfully control exposure originating outside my property. Unlike personal electronic devices, cell towers transmit RF signals around the clock, often without residents having any meaningful choice or control over their exposure. I strongly urge the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct additional independent, long-term research into the potential effects of chronic RF exposure, particularly regarding sleep quality, neurological function, children’s development, and overall health. I also believe stronger transparency requirements, independent exposure monitoring, and greater consideration of residential proximity should be incorporated into policies governing cell tower placement. The absence of conclusive evidence of harm should not automatically be treated as proof that long-term exposure is entirely without risk. Families deserve thorough, unbiased research and reasonable safeguards, especially when exposure is involuntary. My greatest concern is that I am actively trying to create a healthier sleeping environment for my family, yet I have no meaningful ability to control the wireless infrastructure surrounding our home. I should not have to wonder whether the environment in which my children sleep every night could be affecting their long-term health. I am asking HHS to take these concerns seriously, prioritize public health, and ensure that Americans have access to reliable, independent research and transparent information about the wireless radiation present in their communities. Our homes should be places where we can sleep peacefully, recover, and feel safe. We deserve confidence that the infrastructure surrounding our homes is not negatively affecting our health.
