Public schools have a WiFi router in the center of each classroom, usually fixed to the ceiling, and it is on 24/7. The teacher and the 20-28 students (avg.) per day assigned to each classroom are within 4-18 feet of this WiFi router for 6-7 hours each day (approx.) Please consider the health and behavioral affects this may have on those assigned to a classroom.
Additionally, smart boards for teaching and learning. Guidelines on proximity and duration to protect the teacher and student populations is requested.
Each student is assigned a computer and each teacher has 1-2 computers, which are on or charging in the classroom all day. What is the cumulative affect and total exposure to the potentially harmful EMFs that all of these devices in sum total emit to each person? What should the daily limit for each student/teacher/worker/human be? Shouldn't a sum total daily limit for human consumption include close proximity to above ground electric transmission towers?
Estimation: approx. 3.8 million public school teachers, 49 million students, and millions of other citizens who are working in public schools.
Request to examine physical health affects, daily limits, ways to mitigate, and behavioral and mental health affects.
I am submitting this comment as a consumer concerned about long-term exposure to wireless radiation from phones, Wi-Fi routers, cell towers, and other connected devices.
I urge HHS to conduct a thorough, independent review of whether current exposure limits adequately protect public health. This review needs to consider those most heavily exposed and should examine potential effects beyond tissue heating, including evidence concerning cancer, reproductive health, and children’s development.
Please prioritize research that reflects how people actually encounter wireless radiation: repeated exposure over many years, often from multiple sources and devices used close to the body. Assessments should consider signal strength, pulse patterns, duration, and combined exposure.
Please consider Melnick and Moskowitz’s 2026 analysis of animal data, which argues that existing exposure limits may inadequately protect against cancer and reproductive harm (https://doi.org/10.1186/s12940-026-01288-6). I also ask HHS to evaluate Lai and Levitt’s review of exposure intensity, duration, and signal modulation (https://doi.org/10.1080/15368378.2022.2065683), and Scarato’s review of US regulatory gaps and proposed reforms (https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2025.1677583). These papers warrant careful consideration alongside the broader evidence, including studies that have not found adverse effects.
I ask HHS to:
•Assess whether additional protections are needed for children, pregnant women, and other potentially vulnerable groups.
•Support long-term research with safeguards against industry conflicts of interest.
•Provide clear information about exposure and practical ways to reduce it, including wired alternatives in homes and schools.
•Recommend updated standards wherever the evidence shows that existing limits are insufficient.
Consumers should not have to navigate these questions alone. Please use this inquiry to advance transparent science, meaningful oversight, and public health protection.
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 encourage HHS to assess the evidence rigorously and transparently, distinguishing established findings from emerging or uncertain evidence. Public concern and personal reports deserve respectful consideration, while conclusions about cause and effect should be based on well-designed, reproducible research.
I recommend that HHS prioritize independent research on real-world and cumulative exposures from multiple wireless sources, using validated exposure-measurement methods. Studies should examine long-term outcomes and consider children, pregnant people, older adults, workers with higher exposures, and people with implanted medical devices or relevant health conditions. Research protocols, funding sources, methods, and results—including null or conflicting results—should be made publicly accessible where possible.
HHS should also compare U.S. and international exposure standards, explain the scientific basis and limitations of those standards in clear language, and identify where evidence is insufficient to assess potential risks. Federal agencies should coordinate research priorities and support independent replication of important findings.
Please include ongoing public health surveillance and practical, evidence-based guidance that can be updated as research develops. The goal should be to address legitimate questions without overstating what current evidence can establish.
Thank you for considering this comment.
My comment is on our Smart electricity meter that was required to replace our existing meter on the side of our house. I have personally used an EMF detector and it reads in the red danger zone 3 feet into my living room effectively reducing my living space since we avoid spending any time in that area due to this hazard. We had no choice in the change.
A noticed change in both our health and that of our livestock animals and nature was noticed after the introducing of 5G here on our hill. Seizures began in our dog. Fat pads caused by higher cortisol levels in our cattle began, and another dog. Natural creatures (raccoon, opossum, rabbit) that were seen in abundance, greatly reduced. Nerve problems in ourselves occurred... migraines, anxiety, tingling. Heart irregularities in our family began. Friends agreeing that their health got worse. Neurological especially. Excessive stomach acid was greatly noticed by family and others, including animals. Autoimmune problems worsened, with increased flares.
EMF are horrible!!!!!! Never in my life have I had such bad mental health issues. I can’t think, I get headaches, dizziness, confusion and anxiety. It increases tinnitus and I can’t sleep!
PLEAST FOR THE LOVE IF GOD TAKE THESE DOWN. 5g
6g
….. WHEN WILL THE MADNESS END!!!
People are LITERALLY going insane! You see it in the streets!
I am sensitive and feel being close to a 5g tower has been detrimental to my health. Please help us and look into the seriousness of these towers being close to homes and schools.
Hello, I'm living in Belgium and I know I'm electrohypersensitif since 4 years, but I'm suffering from electrohypersensitivity since 28 years. I had a lot of symptoms since all these years, tinnitus, headaches, visual problems and burning eyes, fatigue, sleeping problems, burning sensations in the head, balance problems, nervousness, agitation, just feeling horrible... I live since these 28 years near to an antenna and little by little my symptoms became worse, particulary after the installation of 4G and 4G+. I can't live in my house anymore and have to go sleeping outside in my van, summer and winter. I'm still searching for a white zone, but i't's really hard to find, since antennas are installed everywhere. I've asked for help at the local authorities, but they don't want to take away the antenne or change the orientation of the antenna, even if other neighbours have symptoms as well. I lost my job as a welder, and can't even follow another formation to learn another job, because there is wif-fi and phones everywhere. My health is suffering a lot from the wireless technology. During this 4 years, I met so many other people who are suffering from electrohypersensitivity. It's terrible for the young generation too, who are themselves impacted, sometimes without knowing why. I want to thank you that you give us the opportunity to alert around this question. There was a local tv that made a news report about our situation. Here is the link: https://www.notele.be/it505-media162960-le-plus-de-l-info-l-electro-hypersensibilite-comment-vivre-avec-ce-calvaire.html. I'm part of one of the 2 belgian organisations (AREHS and VEHS) of people suffering from ehs, there are more 1000 people in the both, but we can observe that a lot of more people have become ehs and are not yet membres.

The word RADIATION pretty much sums it up.
