It is shocking that with how much wireless technology and infrastructure have increased dramatically in recent years, the FCC has not updated its RF exposure guidelines since 1996! This is unacceptable in the United States of America.\nAs a parent who has witnessed the negative impacts of wireless exposure on my children, I urge HHS to take a more proactive role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Urgent and honest science needs to be done on this issue, with no increases in exposure levels allowed until it is determined that the current levels are even safe.\n\nThank you for allowing me to be heard.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-2486","tags":["child-development","policy-standards"],"source_hash":"20cc75b999ecb3430046bcd71351d63d62dcf347a2525c3a55810e534a1174f8","slug":"child-development-comment-2486","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-2486","body_sha256":"cc945f7941ff59c5e3af305bb3e94edbe4a3c92586fd3356c484bf2181864961","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"children","topics":[{"id":"children","evidence":"tive impacts of wireless exposure on my children, I urge HHS to take a more proactive role in examining the "},{"id":"standards","evidence":"the FCC has not updated its RF exposure guidelines since 1996!
