A tower-construction employer describes workers’ RF precautions and urges HHS research, public informatio…

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a parent and employer. I am an owner of a small business working in the oil and gas industry. We build communication towers and hang various antennas to transmit data. We also inspect existing towers as well as repair equipment and hang new equipment on existing towers. If the existing towers have a 5G antenna, our employees need to wear radiation protection and avoid getting in the RF path of the device. If the signal is that strong and that dangerous then humans do not need to be in homes with that signal flowing throughout them. Humans also don’t need to be holding devices in theirs hands, pockets, bras or placing them against their heads or in their ears. People deserve to know exactly how all of this is affecting them and their families. The dangers of the toxins in our world have been covered up and downplayed for far too long. Please get some real answers and tell the American people the truth. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.
