Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Public Comment on Reopened Docket Regarding Wireless Radiation Safety Limits Dear Commissioners, As a deeply concerned citizen who values both technological innovation and the health of my family, I am writing to urge the FCC to completely overhaul its outdated radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. The current standards, established decades ago, rely exclusively on preventing thermal (heating) harm. However, as an everyday user watching our children grow up surrounded by a 24/7 blanket of Wi-Fi, cell towers, and smart infrastructure, I know that our constant, real-world exposure looks nothing like the brief laboratory simulations used to set these guidelines. In my own home, I have taken steps to hardwire our internet connection to protect our sleep and focus, but we cannot escape the dense web of neighborhood cell towers outside our home and when visiting the towns and cities. The D.C. Circuit Court correctly ruled in 2021 that the FCC failed to address severe gaps in its safety logic. I urge you to look at the independent, peer-reviewed data disproving the assumption that non-thermal radiation is harmless: • Definitive Evidence of DNA Damage: The U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) comprehensive $25 million study proved that chronic exposure to cell phone radiation causes significant, measurable DNA damage—specifically in the frontal cortex and hippocampus—as well as clear evidence of rare malignant tumors. DNA damage occurs without any tissue heating, directly undermining the FCC's regulatory foundation. • Unique Vulnerabilities of Children: Our children's skulls are thinner, and their nervous systems are still dynamically developing. Millions of students sit directly under powerful industrial Wi-Fi routers all day. Compiled data from the BioInitiative Report establishes that low-intensity, non-thermal RF radiation alters gene expression and triggers neurological impacts at levels far below current FCC limits. • Environmental and Wildlife Disruption: Our ecosystem is suffering the collateral damage of unchecked wireless infrastructure. Multi-author analyses show that continuous RF radiation alters biological rhythms, disrupts the navigation patterns of crucial pollinators like bees, and inflicts oxidative stress on local flora and fauna. The FCC must stop deferring to industrial convenience and prioritize living biology. I ask that you adopt protective, biologically-based exposure standards that reflect the independent science of today. Sincerely, Marcia Keizer Yelm Washington

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am writing regarding the FCC’s response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ remand concerning its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. The Court directed the FCC to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination that its guidelines adequately protect humans against harmful effects of RF radiation unrelated to cancer. Specifically, the court required the FCC to address the impacts of RF radiation on children, the health implications of long-term exposure, the ubiquity of wireless devices and technological developments, impacts on the environment, and the adequacy of the FCC’s testing procedures for cell phones and other portable devices. The FCC should fully consider evidence and real-world experiences concerning the health and environmental impacts of wireless radiation, including non-cancer health effects, impacts on children, long-term and cumulative exposure, cancer, and impacts on wildlife and the environment. Here is just one study I believe the FCC should review when addressing the concerns about wireless radiation: Morgan, Kesari & Davis (2014): Why children absorb more microwave radiation than adults: The consequences – Reviewed evidence that children may absorb more wireless radiation than adults due to anatomical and physiological differences, raising questions about the adequacy of existing exposure standards. The FCC is not a health agency and does not have expertise in medicine, biology or public health. Yet, the agency continues to assert authority over RF exposure standards and is preparing to reach conclusions about whether its existing guidelines adequately protect the public. I urge the FCC to recognize the critical role of federal health agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and to rely on appropriate health and biological expertise when addressing the issues identified by the court. I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The world we live in, from electrical frequencies within the body to the Schumann Resonance of the planet itself, works on frequencies. While many frequencies could be labeled as beneficial, there are MANY that are not. The types of radiation that eminate from dirty electricity, WiFi, Bluetooth, "smart" meters, LED lights, Cell phones/towers, some musical frequencies, and many many from military devices are extremely harmful to human health. Please do the righ thing for once and force any company to comply with third-party studies into the harmful effects of the frequencies they are putting out and make data reporting MANDATORY!
