HHS seeks to update the record on whether the science on the effects of RF radiation has changed since the FCC considered this question in 2019. I herein submit comment as City Councilmember of Monterey, California, representing a constituency very concerned and knowledgeable about the abundant studies since both 1996 (the date of the FCC’s holding on exposure limits) and 2019, when the FCC held there was no appreciable change in the science.
Two areas stand out to me as having changed and as areas of concern as a parent, grandparent, and Certified Nurse Midwife: 1) the impacts on children, and 2) the ubiquity of wireless devices. 
One study, Microwave Emissions from Cell Phones Exceed Safety Limits in Europe and the US When Touching the Body (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8688629) notes that emissions exceed recommended limits when in contact with the body. I have observed babies clutching phones and devices and resting them directly on their bodies. We know that, unfortunately, devices are used as babysitters, replacing humans interacting with infants. We have all seen children as young as one holding and staring at devices powered by radio emissions.  These children, in playing with devices, ignore their environment at an age (such as 1 year old) when learning the nuances of human interaction and the rewards thereof are essential milestones in their development and in their ability to survive through social bonding. 
Additionally, our children are exposed to higher lifelong levels of radio-wave radiation than we have ever studied. Infants today are exposed to much more than previous generations. Authors AK Lee and HD Choi document that a child’s brain absorbs more cell tower radiation than an adult brain due to such factors as the smaller head of a child and hence less density and due to the thinner skull relative to adults, resulting in higher localized absorption of RF energy (EMF exposure in Korean mobile communication networks. 2023) For the safety of children , we must welcome review of the last 30 years of science. The health of our children depends on review of current science.  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0160412017319724
