I had the opportunity to live in a low EMF building an my health and mental emotional well being improved dramatically and also met many individuals who had been damaged by EMF exposure who had heart issues and culd no longer tolerate any exposure without experiencing extreme debilitating symptoms, like tremors, migraines, heart palpitations, dizziness, flu symptoms and more. I fear for the children with phones and ipads and constant exposure at home via smart meters and other smart devices, and at school. Their brains are more vulnerable than adults. The power output on routers can be dramatically reduced without compromising connectivity. We need to switch to fiber optics. We are killing the bees and wildlife with these frequencies. We are destroying our planet for convenience. Please take corrective measre and educate the public in the meantime about protective measures. Tell the FCC to change the allowed frequencies and testing  to reflect the new levels of radiation being used. The courts ordered them to di so and they simply disobeyed. Enforcment please.\n\nI 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.\n\nI 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.\n\nThank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4202","tags":["child-development","health-experiences","exposure-places","policy-standards","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"8d4649e7464ee1a8d74daabf30859d1885d513ef248e065af69c3ae146f04de3","slug":"child-development-comment-4202","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4202","body_sha256":"133794a1e33c91be3e4435ebe4941f15419b30177fe1845f6dae41afbc6a109a","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"research","topics":[{"id":"research","evidence":"ther potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.\n\nThank you for p"},{"id":"standards","evidence":"c in the meantime about protective measures.
