As a parent and regular person living in a world full of wireless devices, I’m glad HHS is finally taking a closer look at RF/EMF exposure and health—especially for kids.\nThe science isn’t black and white. Most large studies and reviews (including recent WHO ones) don’t show clear harm from everyday exposures under current limits. But there are still real gaps: the NTP animal studies raised questions, kids absorb more radiation than adults, and we don’t have enough long-term data on constant low-level exposure from phones, Wi-Fi, 5G, and everything else we’re surrounded by.\nI’d like to see more independent research focused on children, better exposure measurement in real homes and schools, and simple practical advice families can actually use while the science catches up. Current limits are old. It would help to compare them honestly with other countries and decide whether they still make sense.\nPlease keep the process transparent and put kids first.
