This concerns me as I moved here approximately two years ago with my family of four. I do not wish to share my name at this time, as I work for a government agency and am concerned that a public record such as this, may negatively reflect on my standing. I would appreciate it, if you look into \"our\" little town (approximately one square mile) and its six antenna installations. \n\nFrom what I have been able to glean, as public record shows, Wallington's own codes do not conform to the town regulations for \"cell tower\" distance from residences, schools, or parks. Also, there are no yearly Radiofrequency (RF) reading reviews as is mandated by Wallington policies. Furthermore, residents have no discernible way of knowing if they are suffering any adverse health effects from exposure to Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) or RF Radiation, and no meaningful recourse to mitigating any studies or showings of such thereof.\n\nPlease, Please, look into these issues as I have two young children and am concerned for my kids health, my families well being, along with \"our\" communities exposure to adverse health risks. I am not asking for the HHS to muscle compliance. I am simply asking HHS to care enough to give Wallington residents a fair and reasonable response to regulations and safety measures which serve to protect the community and uphold the dignity of Wallington's residence. Especially those that are most vulnerable.\n\nThank you in advance for your care in this matter. \n\nSincerely, Wallington resident, near the Hathaway Street Park cell tower.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5965","tags":["child-development","exposure-places","policy-standards","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"7a276e154d7b81f58788afcad0783e963ea3adbc1eac584507d0b4d8839c6a4f","slug":"child-development-comment-5965","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5965","body_sha256":"807c5fd4b89fcbd5d5881769d1748dfa1d573fd6e36123300658f23056fd97d8","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"infrastructure","topics":[{"id":"infrastructure","evidence":"gton, NJ and I live 1,200 feet away from the Hathaway Street Park cell tower.
