ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am deeply concerned about the potential long-term health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs), radiofrequency (RF) radiation, and the increasing amount of wireless radiation exposure in our everyday environments.
As a mother, I am particularly concerned about the cumulative exposure our children experience from an early age through cell phones, Wi-Fi, tablets, wireless devices, and technology in schools and homes. Children are growing up in environments where wireless technology is nearly constant, yet important questions remain about the effects of lifelong exposure.
I recognize that current scientific evidence has not established that everyday wireless exposure within existing safety limits causes adverse health effects. However, I believe the remaining scientific uncertainties deserve continued independent investigation, particularly regarding long-term exposure, developing children, pregnancy, sleep, neurological health, and reproductive health.
I am also concerned about whether current safety standards adequately reflect modern exposure patterns. People are no longer exposed to just one wireless device at a time. Many of us live and work surrounded by multiple sources of radiofrequency emissions throughout the day. I would like to see more research examining realistic, combined, and prolonged exposure rather than relying solely on short-term assessments.
I strongly encourage federal agencies to prioritize transparent, independent, peer-reviewed research, including studies that examine potential effects beyond tissue heating. Research should also consider vulnerable populations and clearly communicate both established findings and areas where evidence remains inconclusive.
I believe families deserve accurate information, meaningful choices, and practical ways to reduce unnecessary exposure without fear-based messaging or having to give up essential technology.
My request is for greater transparency, stronger long-term research, ongoing evaluation of safety standards, and a precautionary approach where scientific uncertainty remains.
Protecting public health, especially the health of future generations, should remain a priority as wireless technology continues to expand.
