If other governments can enact more protective EMF allowances, why can’t we? \n\nTo answer that question, an apt comparison is with the tobacco industry. They knew nicotine was harmful to health and highly addictive yet they aggressively marketed their products, even to children at that time. They hid the valid research. They paid off or discredited any researchers who dared to question or show negative health effects. They hired doctors to recommend that people smoke cigarettes for health. They intensified the advertising campaigns, convincing everyone that cigarettes were a necessary part of life. \n\nIt’s called the Tobacco Playbook and it’s being followed by the telecom industry with one additional component. That is, in addition to those strategies the telecom industry has taken over the agency that is supposed to be regulating it. And so ti is that the US has laws that protect the industry and harm the people. \n\nThe research showing the harmful effects of wireless radiation on all life forms is abundant and rigorous. And ever growing. Please follow the Precautionary Principle and enact protective legislation for humans, animals, and insects. \n\nPlease protect the earth’s ionosphere from the damage being done by telecom satellites in low orbit, mostly Starlink. Once destroyed the ionosphere cannot be replaced. Do you want that to be your legacy? \n\nPlease create testing protocols for humans that mimic real life and take into account the cumulative effect of multiple sources of EMF bombarding the body 24/7/365. \n\nPlease educate people about the dangers of wireless radiation, especially for children. Prohibit cell towers near homes, schools, hospitals, parks and playgrounds. \n\nPlease fund other means of communication, such as fiber optics. Please ban Wifi and return to wired computers, especially in the classroom. We did it before, we can do it again. \n\nThere are so many things that could be done to protect public health in this arena, if only the US would follow the lead of other countries, or better yet, take the lead. \n","source_hash":"f81ac9da396adca0a3f704be92c4fdf3ae6beb685b26b68813e73e75c6347a7b","filing_type":"","proceedings":"","captured_at":"","source_name":"","number":"6937","withheld":false,"attachment_inventory":true,"capture_reviewed":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6937","slug":"child-development-comment-6937","tags":[],"attachments":["https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6937/attachment_7.pdf","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6937/attachment_9.pdf","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6937/attachment_1.pdf","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6937/attachment_5.pdf","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6937/attachment_6.pdf","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6937/attachment_2.pdf","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6937/attachment_3.pdf","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6937/attachment_4.pdf","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6937/attachment_8.pdf"],"attachment_names":{"https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6937/attachment_7.pdf":"RFR-Neurological-effects-2007-2017","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6937/attachment_9.pdf":"Pall_5G_Risk_The_Scientific_Perspective","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6937/attachment_1.pdf":"Biological_Effects_from_RF_Radiation_and Implications_for_Smart_Meters_June_11_2013_B","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6937/attachment_5.pdf":"low-level-rf-radiation-induced-biological-health-effects2-1","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6937/attachment_6.pdf":"Research on EMFs","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6937/attachment_2.pdf":"Cell Research EMF Standards Inadequate","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6937/attachment_3.pdf":"EMR Report from the Health Council of Marin -
