ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The federal guidelines that are used to determine the safety limits for exposure to wireless radiation are decades old and have not kept pace with the rapid expansion of wireless technology or the growing body of scientific research raising concerns about its effects on human health and the environment.
We must have more independent and rigorous transparent research for wireless radiation- particularly in populations such as children and the elderly.
Most of the outlined research was done 10-15 years ago- which is outdated especially since the phones and the internet have ramped up their radiation outputs.
But looking at what has been already researched, I found one study which shows DNA strand damage from "industry accepted radiation levels".

There has been previous research into how EMF disrupts the immune system. I am concerned about this. More research is needed.
I myself get severe headaches due to my sensitivity to the electromagnetic radiation. I avoid staying near cell towers because of these headaches.
When not near the towers, I am headache free.
Thank you for finally looking into more up-to-date research so that others can also benefit.
