{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5959","number":"5959","name":"M T","organization":"","posted":"2026-10-28T04:00Z","received":"2026-10-21T04:00Z","body":"I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure.\n\nAs a concerned parent and member of the public, I support further research into the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation, particularly its long-term effects on children and other vulnerable populations.\n\nWith wireless technology becoming increasingly common in our homes, schools, and communities, I believe it is important that federal agencies thoroughly examine potential health risks, consider the experiences of individuals reporting adverse effects, and identify gaps in existing research.\n\nI urge HHS to prioritize independent scientific research, evaluate current safety standards, and ensure that public health decisions are based on comprehensive, transparent, and up-to-date evidence.\n\nI have suffered for the last decade from extreme sensitivity to RF and EMF. I have meters that measure both and have been able to confirm over and over that in low EMF/RF environments, my body can rest, but in high environments, I react as if it is plugged in to the wall- my whole body feels as if it is on fire (nerve pain), and I frequently experience arrhythmias in high exposure situations (again, I have confirmed this with my meters). I have been to many doctors, who can not find anything wrong with my heart or body even though they can see it reacting to outside stimuli in a very exaggerated way. I am asking for more study of this problem, as the effects of high EMF and RF exposure have been my family and it is in every public space, at high levels, so very hard to avoid if you are sensitive. My children are also sensitive and experienced very poor health when living near a tower and next to power lines. When we moved to a place that was low EMF/RF, their health issues dramatically decreased. I’d like more research to be done so that we can keep our children and vulnerable populations safe and not degrade the health of everyone else. I’m hoping for more conservative, wise use of technology in the future and I know that the science will show support for that, if it is studied and measured thoroughly and appropriately. \n\nThank you for providing the public with an opportunity to voice these concerns.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5959","tags":["child-development","health-experiences","exposure-places","policy-standards","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"6666792221a60ab67d6b1ef3b1dfa8e17680bb3217c249fb4526f906e9f2b8e7","slug":"child-development-comment-5959","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5959","body_sha256":"55751669867dda560db91ef01fe924090e09d4b2fbeefc95dc9f5f4917f2e45a","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"ehs","topics":[{"id":"ehs","evidence":"e.\n\nI have suffered for the last decade from extreme sensitivity to RF and EMF.
