A public-health researcher describes EMF research and advisory roles, supports organizational submissions…

As a public health scientist in the School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley, I have researched the health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF), especially radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF), since 2009. I co-founded and serve as a Commissioner on the International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF), serve as an advisor to the International EMF Scientist Appeal, and serve as a scientific advisor to Physicians for Safe Technology. I support the statements submitted to USDHHS on behalf of these organizations. My Electromagnetic Radiation Safety website addresses key scientific and policy developments concerning the health risks from exposure to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMF). The website has recorded six million pageviews since 2013. Since 2016, I have circulated monthly abstracts of newly published scientific papers on RF-EMF and non-ionizing fields to several hundred EMF scientists globally. The complete collection currently contains almost 3,000 abstracts with links to published papers. This public submission consists of the following sections: • Background and statement of perspective (pg. 1) • Transcripts of published opinion pieces on RF-EMF from the San Francisco Chronicle (2010), Scientific American (2019), The Washington Spectator (2020), and a Q&A for UC Berkeley News (2021). (pp. 2-7) • Specific responses to questions posed by HHS for this public submission (pp. 8-11) • A list of my peer-reviewed publications in scientific health journals on RF-EMF (pp. 12-13) • A list of my invited presentations and lectures on RF-EMF health effects (pg. 14) • A list of key scientific and policy papers. (pp. 15-22)
