As a private citizen with a Master of Science dual major in Analytical Chemistry and Biochemistry and a BS with a major in Chemistry and a minor in Biology.  I am continually seeking ways to minimize my family’s exposure to environmental RF/EMFs.   Following is a brief history of RF/EMF in my life, Followed by a simple request that can aid the informed in their efforts to mitigate the dangers.
	After 76 years of exposure to RF/EMF ranging from the workplace (i.e., ZMT operator in an early summer job to full room computers as a research scientist at the National Bureau of Standards) to the purchase of a 100+year retirement home with knob and tube wiring and magnetic field readings (prior to mitigation) exceeding 90 nanotesla.  After a lifetime of over exposure to electromagnetic fields, I am now hypersensitive to excess RF/EMFs.  With shielding and RF mitigation in my house and particularly my bedroom, I can get a full nights restorative sleep.  
	All around me I see evidence that our memories and thinking are being short circuited  My elderly neighbour had a mandated RF water meter installed underneath his bedroom; it has been less than a month and now he is complaining about memory lapses - coincidence? Maybe?  However one of the know effects of radio-waves is sleep and thinking disruption.   On the way home today I saw two young school aged children just getting out of school both were sitting on the sidewalk; the first one was hanging his head and staring at their hands and the second one was a couple of blocks away  staring blankly into space. 
REQUEST:  I cannot change my world when it is so far out of kilter from normal, but I can ask for one thing that will make life safer for those of us who can take steps to protect themselves:  Please change the National electric codes so that I can purchase and install Shielded 110 wire in my home’s 110 Volt circuits.   I have heard that shielded wire may be available in Europe?  However, my electrician in North Dakota cannot purchase/install 110 Volt wire that will not emanate electric and magnetic fields into my personal home.

Note:  HHS should provide advice to the public so that they may take steps to reduce RF/EMFs in their homes.  For example, Edward  Leeper ’s “Silencing The Fields, A practical guide to reducing AC magnetic fields. (2001).
