ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
It has been many years and cell phone upgrades since any real research has been done on the harmful effects of radiation. When cell phones first came out, the results were indicating too high levels of radiation and that has increased exponentially with each upgrade. We know children’s developing brains are terribly affected by too much radiation. Now it’s impossible to avoid any type of radiation exposure and sitting in my office with screens or looking at my phone for too long gives me frequent headaches. Every device needs to be studied and clearly labeled for consumers. Data center radiation must be determined and exposed before any construction is allowed to begin.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I urge HHS to study the effects of EMFs, RF and wireless radiation exposure on the US population and especially for our children. I know several people that struggle with constant ringing in their ears from EMFs because it goes away when they are away from EMF or if they turn their Wifi off. It is only prudent to have current unbiased studies to determine if it is safe to have cell towers close to schools, hospitals and densely populated areas.

A parent requests HHS evaluation of evidence and reported effects, with emphasis on children's health.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a parent and concerned citizen for the health and vitality of our children who are most directly impacted by the negative health impacts of wireless radiation. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I can't understand why the regulations regarding EMFs, RF Radiation and Wireless Radiation exposure have not been updated based on the large amount of research that has demonstrated their deleterious effects upon the human population throughout the world! We purposely live in a rural area down a long driveway, as far away from the electric wires as possible, and mostly are not affected by the above. We can turn our wifi on and off when not needed, not only to protect ourselves but also our pets. We are particularly concerned about children, whose brains are more affected because of the thinner skulls, and their ongoing brain development. They are surrounded by EMFs etc. all day long at school and often, where they live.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a concerned member of the public. I personally have experienced adverse wireless radiation exposure. Long story, short, I discovered that my in home router had received a firmware update and turned on the 5 GHz frequency. I was experiencing anxiety at a level I had never had previously, for a season. Providentially. I discovered the router firmware update and shut it down. And since then have not experienced the anxiety since. I have since been aware of my EMF vulnerabilities. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

The commenter describes acquaintances becoming ill around Wi-Fi and requests neutral safety research.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Plenty of anecdotal evidence. A series of friends who get mildly to deathy ill around wifi, starting with 3G. Needs to be studied for safety by a neutral party.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
This article: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10661-024-12623-0 shows in conclusions that: The aim of this review is to assess the impact of cell phone radiation effects on green plants. Rapid progress in networking and communication systems has introduced frequency- and amplitude-modulated technologies to the world with higher allowed bands and greater speed by using high-powered radio generators, which facilitate high definition connectivity, rapid transfer of larger data files, and quick multiple accesses. These cause frequent exposure of cellular radiation to the biological world from a number of sources. Key factors like a range of frequencies, time durations, power densities, and electric fields were found to have differential impacts on the growth and development of green plants. As far as the effects on green plants are concerned in this review, alterations in their morphological characteristics like overall growth, canopy density, and pigmentation to physiological variations like chlorophyll fluorescence and change in membrane potential etc. have been found to be affected by cellular radiation. On the other hand, elevated oxidative status of the cell, macromolecular damage, and lipid peroxidation have been found frequently. On the chromosomal level, micronuclei formation, spindle detachments, and increased mitotic indexes etc. have been noticed. Transcription factors were found to be overexpressed in many cases due to the cellular radiation impact, which shows effects at the molecular level. It should be enough for giving access to independent researchers to medical data of those who may complain so they could conduct proper statistical analysis. We have analyzed the medical data breaches: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldemar_W._Koczkodaj#cite_note-8 The above link is copied from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldemar_W._Koczkodaj this way: In 2018, he coordinated a research effort to analyze health record breaches, based on data posted by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights.[7] The total number of individuals affected (called NIA by the government but they are simply patients) in the health care system was 173,398,820 at the time of publication submission (2017).[8] Evidently, we can do it.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a parent, Occupational Therapist and a human being. People's testimony regarding their negative effects from wireless radiation goes mostly ignored. This needs to stop. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding for the future health of myself and my children. Ever since 5G wireless radiation has become the norm, I have experienced tinnitus and headaches. I live within a mile of a cell tower and I have become very sensitive in my hands all the way up to my elbows when holding a cell phone. I believe that HHS should be investigating the short and long term effects of EMF’s, RF radiation and Wireless Radiation exposure. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.
