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 concerned member of the public. I'm concerned about the huge amount of EMF and RFR in our environment. We humans haven't been exposed to this until recent years, and who knows what the long-term health effects will be? When I had my first cell phone and put it up next to my head while talking, afterwards my head would feel hot and uncomfortable on that side. I was suspicious about the health risks from that point on. There's plenty of research from scientific organizations showing the damage of EMF and RFR, especially for children. I know many adults are also sensitive to this, and they shouldn't be forced to be exposed to it 24/7. 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. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.
