Thank you for this opportunity to comment on the serious health impacts of  EMF radiation on the human body.  EMF is negatively impactful to children and adults in the following categories:

NEUROLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN

CARDIOVASCULAR EFFECTS

CARCENEGETIC EFFECTS

INFLAMATORY EFFECTS (OXIDATIVE STRESS)

I am a physician with over 40 years of clinical experience. Please consult the scientific articles referenced below for clear evidence of these effects.  The best background paper of all of these is:

I will also comment that EMF radiation is widespread in hospital settings with the extensive use of WiFi enabled instruments.  By permitting these signals to remain in hospitals, students, providers, teachers, patients, and the care team will all be detrimentally impacted. While it is very disappointing that HHS and the FCC have been slow to recognize the volume of evidence corroborating these serious health impacts----it is never too late to enact rules that will better protect the public going forward.  Thank you for your consideration of this important scientific evidence of the harmful impacts of EMF radiation on the human body.
