ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a telecommunication engineering graduate and my comments are to be considered as an independent individual contributor.
I experience ear buzzing, headaches and sometimes skin itch in the presence of EMF equipment such as WiFi routers and mobile phone base stations.
To create exposure standards and risk assessment (questions 5. o. and 5.p) methods, several aspects need to be considered:
- EMF intensity, variety and duration of exposure;
- realistic testing use cases: a SAR measured in a lab might be different from an effective SAR of a phone placing a call from a driving car for example;
- environmental base levels of EMF radiations: being in an urban, EMF rich environment after a week of camping is completely different than being in such environment contantly;
- mental well being and psychological consequences related to the constant exposure to EMF and associated technologies; phenomena such as "fear of missing out", "feeling overwhelmed by work all the time"...
-
Federal research priorities (Q16):
- how do EMF impact the bioenergetic field of the human body of sick and healthy patients;
- what are effective and efficient shielding strategies for sensitive buildings and individuals; e.g. clothing, paints, Faraday cages
- the right to be offline and the right to slow down technological use;
