All Links in text and any attached pdfs hereby incorporated by reference. \n\nFor the record. To whom it may concern –\n\nThe Human Cost of Ever-Increasing RF Exposure at Toxic Levels \n\nSUMMARY Statement: With respect to HEALTH EFFECTS, the province of HHS,  and the failure of the FCC in not changing their RF safety standards, people today not only get exposed to different and more biologically harmful RF frequencies then did decades ago when they set those standards, and for far longer periods of time. The FCC has also failed to take into account the extremely adverse effects that research over the past three decades has shown that microwaves can have, and that as RF frequencies increase, and as wavelengths shorten and become more complex, and as it does with 5G, that harmful biological effects increase as well. Despite the promotional advertising claims of the telecom industry, with respect to 5G (or RF in any frequency) \"no safety testing\" and \"proven safe\" DO NOT mean the same thing - a clear violation of the precautionary principle. \n\nImportant replicated effects, observed in many different laboratories at very low levels of RF exposure, includes neurological damage in animals such as leakage of the blood brain barrier.   In February of 2020 Blue Cross Blue Shield released a report that provides strong supporting evidence of an unprecedented increase in early onset Dementia, confirming an increase in Early Onset Dementia or in Alzheimer’s in humans AS PREDICTED from this research.   According to this report, in the 4 years between 2013 and 2017, early-onset dementia and Alzheimer’s disease combined diagnosis rates TRIPLED for adults aged 30 to 64, going up from 4.2/10,000 adults to 12.6/10,000 adults.  \n\nAutism in children shows a similar unprecedented increase.  According to National Health data released in 2020, autism incidence among Irish children is now at 4.3%, an 82% rise in five years. One in 16 boys is affected.\"   And given the recent Covid-19 pandemic, it seems important to emphasize that having a leaky blood-brain barrier - at the same time as having a viral infection - does NOT seem a good thing, and may well explain the brain damage and inflammation reported in some Covid-19 cases.  And as Panagopoulos has shown in his 2019 review, the extreme and unpredictable variability of real-life cell phone signals - which 5G will markedly increase - results in ever more complex and biologically harmful signals to living cells/organisms.”]\n\nAlso, with respect to long term health effects, FCC has failed to take into account the extremely adverse effect that digital technologies such as the recent roll-out of 5G and now of AI data centers have had and will have on CLIMATE CHANGE. This issue, the impact that digital technologies have on climate change through its carbon footprint - almost entirely unreported by the media - includes the expected doubling of our human carbon footprint - from 4% to 8%, 2,400 million tons of CO2 by 2025.   And worse, by 2028 the projected energy demands of AI predict that it could consume as much electricity annually as 22% of U.S. households, adding and at least as much, or more,  environmental, pollution.\n\nGiven the failure of the FCC to address this situation, despite the publication of thousands of peer-reviewed scientific research papers documenting the environmental and human health costs of human RF exposures and of the digital technologies now in common use, I urgently recommend that HHS address this problem in accordance with this research and give this task the highest priority.\n\nThank you.\n\nEd Kellogg, Ph.D.\n\nAttached Supporting Pdf Documents:\n\n“Attachment1_5G Surface FCC No. 19-226 Filing” a response to “Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields A Proposed Rule by the Federal Communications Commission.
