People often have little to no practical control over continual exposure to wireless emissions when cellular towers, small cells, and other transmitting equipment are installed near their homes, workplaces, schools, and public spaces. Residents should not be expected to simply accept involuntary, around-the-clock exposure without meaningful transparency, independent health review, or practical options.\n\nIn my view, wireless radiation levels and the density of wireless infrastructure have become seriously too high. The government has a responsibility to apply the precautionary principle, support truly independent research on long-term and cumulative exposure, improve public disclosure and measurement requirements, and establish stronger protections for homes, schools, hospitals, and other sensitive locations.\n\nHHS and other federal agencies should also strongly encourage wired connectivity wherever it is practical. Fiber, Ethernet, and other wired systems can provide fast, reliable communications while reducing unnecessary wireless exposure. Federal policy, grants, building standards, and public-infrastructure programs should prioritize wired connections over defaulting to more wireless transmitters.\n\nPlease treat reducing unnecessary wireless EMF exposure as a public-health and consumer-protection priority.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1186","tags":["health-experiences","exposure-places","policy-standards","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"f0fdba5d9b38771cd76c190673b4f3f2a766f162aaed3bb8e21f1ecafa37e817","slug":"health-experiences-comment-1186","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1186","body_sha256":"26e68a800f2510428f40eb7cec9812f6872246766a9f951d2212c7ccaae2a3d5","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"standards","topics":[{"id":"standards","evidence":" and measurement requirements, and establish stronger protections for homes, schools, hospitals, and other sensitive loc"},{"id":"infrastructure","evidence":"ontinual exposure to wireless emissions when cellular towers, small cells, and other transmitting equipment are ins"},{"id":"children","evidence":" are installed near their homes, workplaces, schools, and public spaces.
