ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure.
I am responding from the perspective of a parent and mother of four.
Wireless radiation has affected our entire family with increased headaches, POTS symptoms and moodiness amongst our four children-we have also noticed dizziness and nausea associated with long periods on cell phones or air pods and iPads needed to use for school. It can take several hours or more to go away and the moodiness can take up to three days to alleviate and the need to get off all electronics. These symptoms have happened with all our WiFi devices, but especially those closest to us, like cell phones and air pods/ipads/laptops. In addition, if we spend time near cell towers we have an increase in symptoms and POTS episodes, migraines and dizziness. Y
We support people affected by wireless radiation and believe HHS should address this issue and make Verizon, Apple, and other wireless companies accountable for the use of their products and not allow 5G towers near schools, hospitals, residential areas or wildlife/oceans/natural areas. Just because we can, doesn’t mean we should. I am no fan of China, but they have banned cell phone use for young children and have time limits for exposure. We need to go back to hand held books for children so they are not on devices all day at school and then all evening for assignments that are all electronic.
I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence.
I 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.
The affects of these devices and towers should not be a hidden warning buried in our devices-they should come with black box warnings and studies on our mitochondria and emotional/physical health should be made priority.
Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.
