I also have witnessed friends who were unfortunate enough to have a 5G tower built near their home, have countless increased health issues since the installation. The whole family experienced increased headaches, vision problems,  sleeping problems.  After test after test gave them no answers,  they acquired a meter that measured the radiation and it was off the charts. They promptly put the house on the market.  We were shocked to discover there have been NO studies done to test the safety of these towers.  We need to protect our children.   Please consider examining the effects of wireless radiation. \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-2026-0397-4471","tags":["child-development","health-experiences","sleep-cognition","exposure-places","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"c1747892623858070af41d6520a0550e0704925ff88a1bee8def07aa55119cad","slug":"child-development-comment-4471","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4471","body_sha256":"f502f7381b2883351aadbbf3541ab852b80cd87c3f999057ab010ee1d61ad5ae","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"environment","topics":[{"id":"environment","evidence":"e effects of wireless radiation in videos of birds who are clearly disoriented going near a 5G tower.
