Exposure limits & oversight

I am commenting specifically about LED headlights which are absolutely blinding and dangerous especially on Tulane roads. The brightness is so harsh that if I keep my eyes directly ahead of me while driving, the lights from an oncoming car leave a burnout in the left side of my field of vision that takes 10 to 15 seconds to dissipate. Of course they light up the path in front of you very well for the driver but that is a trade-off that we cannot have if we are making the driver’s view brighter by blinding oncoming drivers. I want whatever section of the government is responsible for these lights to do a thorough unbiased study not influenced by auto manufacturers or politics and if the conclusion is that these lights are dangerous to other drivers, the manufacturers of vehicles using LED lights must cover the full cost of retrofitting every vehicle.

As someone whose health is negatively affected by wireless radiation, and having many friends similarly affected, I urge the HHC to study this issue as mandated by law, in order to stop the proliferation of wireless technology until more is known abt how to use & deploy it in a way that is less harmful to human health & the environment. Government agencies need to prioritize health and well-being for us and our planet, & stop being influenced by mega corporations whose main goal is profit. Thanks for your attention to this vital issue.

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, caregiver, advocate, concerned member of the public. The potential health effects of long-term exposure to wireless radiation deserve continued, independent, and comprehensive scientific research. As wireless technologies—including cell phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth devices, smartwatches, and other connected technologies—have become increasingly integrated into everyday life, people are being exposed to radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) for longer periods and across multiple sources, often unaware of these exposures.There is currently no research that establishes whether typical wireless exposure causes specific health conditions. Therefore, questions remain about the potential effects of chronic, cumulative, and long-term exposure, particularly at lower intensities and among children and other potentially vulnerable populations. Research should therefore examine not only short-term effects but also long-term biological impacts, including possible effects on sleep, neurological function, reproductive health, cellular processes, and overall well-being. Independent research free from industry influence is especially important so that public health recommendations and safety standards are based on the strongest available evidence and can be updated as technology and scientific understanding evolve.

LED Headlights are too intense - they blind drivers - especially when the oncoming car is coming up an incline, the cutoff is not low enough to prevent the intense light hitting the driver's eyes. After market LED headlights should be banned and enforced with a much bigger effort - they are blinding at all times they do not have a cutoff point. Cars and trucks that are loaded in the rear cause the LED lights to be even worse. The auto dim feature activates too late in most cases -as with hills and curves.

It is long past time to make sure that we are all protected from electromagnetic fields and wireless radiation. Many studies have been done that show the damage can be severe, especially for higher radiation levels such as 5G. The next generation that is being proposed, 6 G and higher, will be even worse. Some people are more seriously affected than others, but already it is hard for those most affected to find places where they can be comfortable. However, even those who are not aware of it are being affected. All these forms of radiation damage not only humans, but also domestic animals, wildlife, and even plants. It would be nice if industry was more capable of restraining itself or if education about the dangers wasn’t being smothered by monetary influences, but since that is not proving to be the case, we need laws and regulations to stop the increasing prevalence of radiation before we do further damage to ourselves and our planet.

Please do not place the profit-margin of big tech corporations over the health and well-being of USA citizens. The science and clear, verifiable, and indisputable. Be on the right side of history!

To whom it may concern, Current new cars have such bright headlights, that you are blinded day & night. Cars are running with the brights on during a sunny day. Lights are so bright, that you cannot even see their turn signals in use. Even worse with high trucks and SUVs against regular sized cars. By now US car manufacturers should have a way to auto dim the lights during the day and when approaching oncoming traffic. Europe has new regulations for smart headlight systems.

I am the superintendent of schools in a school district of about 10,000 students. Our district has had agreements in place for cell towers on school property for approximately 12 years. Over the past year or so, we have heard from some of our parents expressing concern over RF exposure from cell towers near schools. In response, the district installed RF monitoring systems on the campuses that have cell towers onsite. The owner of the cell towers agreed to pay for the monitoring equipment, but the district pays for the monitoring service. We are transparent with data and share it with parent or community member who has interest. From the school lens, we would definitely like to see updated exposure guidelines based on the most recent research. Additionally, we would like to see a requirement for cell tower owners to do more than provide predictive analytics. We recommend that these companies, at their own cost, be required to monitor RF frequencies on school campuses and other public spaces where children are regularly present and make the data accessible to the public.

We need regulation on LED headlights. They have gotten way too bright and making the roads more dangerous.

Please do the research to verify what has already been found to be harmful to our health. The radiation from these utilities is truly frightening. I don't want this wireless technology installed at my home but was told I have to pay a monthly penalty to not use this new technology because I want to keep my family and myself safe. Please help to eliminate this danger in our homes and schools.
