Re: HHS-OASH-2026-0397 — Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure
I respectfully submit the attached public comment in response to the September 21, 2026, Request for Information, published at 91 Federal Register 59792–59794.
I am a parent of six and a public school educator with 24 years of experience in Los Angeles. My comments represent my individual perspective, not that of my employer.
My attached statement addresses Questions 2 and 5–18, with particular attention to children's exposure, wireless technology in educational settings, the adequacy of existing exposure standards, real-world exposure measurements, smart meters (Question 13(k)), long-term health research, environmental effects, and federal research priorities.
I request that HHS conduct a rigorous, independent, and transparent scientific review; distinguish established findings from emerging evidence and uncertainty; evaluate potentially sensitive populations; improve public access to reliable exposure information; and develop practical, evidence-based guidance for families, schools, and communities.
I recognize the benefits of wireless technology. My request is for scientifically justified public health protections, accurate information, and meaningful oversight.
Please include my attached three-page PDF in the official administrative record as my complete public comment.
Respectfully submitted,
Anura F. Lawson
