Children & vulnerable groups

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 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.

We are submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. We am responding from the perspective of parents as well as a concerned members of the public. When Barbara has the cellphone next to my ear it does not feel the same as a regular phone. She feels dizzy and hot and I get headaches. Barbara's friend who has M.S. also complains of similar symptoms.

Do a full review of the cumulative impact of non-ionizing EMF radiation on children and adults from the myriad of sources we are exposed to daily.

I am submitting this comment in respuuonse 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 community member. Many types of radiation exposyure have not been fully tested so that we know how safe or harmful they are. Many scientists believe some are incompatible with life. Instead of experimenting on the whole community and watching as reports of increased disease and cancer come in, we need to know what studies show us about their safety. It's not OK to expose people to dangerous environments so wthat big corporations can make a ton of money. Corporations need to become more resyponsible.

My 3 year old son was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition after about a year of the installation of a 5G antena a few feet away from our house.

I think the explosion on mold-related issues and the explosion we're seeing in children's health issues could be connected to EMFs and wireless radiation. These issues at least warrant further consideration as any studies that were relied upon from a few decades ago, are not possibly comparable with the significant increase in EMFs and wireless (cell phone) exposure, etc. As a parent to four children, I really hope HHS will dive into this with an open mind and provide some much needed information (either showing that this isn't an issue, or that there are legitimate concerns) and if there are legitimate concerns provide enforceable regulations and best practices to help our children and their children's health (as well as our own).

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 a concerned member of the public. A good friend of the family is a famous osteopath, Dr. Carlisle Holland, who started his college career in electrical engineering and then become more interested in medicine -- so he has an excellent perspective on electronics and their potential impact on health. From what I understand, when FCC was issuing licenses, originally they held the bands 4G and above outside of licensing because they were considered too dangerous to human health. Now we are looking at 6G, which is extremely concerning. When will we draw the line firmly? It is highly concerning that as the signal gets stronger (e.g., from 4G to 5G), it drops off more quickly during transmission, requiring the spacing between stations to be closer. With each bump up in power, there will be more construction needed and each station emitting more powerfully. This is great for construction and/or cell service providers, but not good for the general citizenry. Anecdotally, California is known to have a significant drop in hummingbirds (some places to zero from historically large populations), which may be related to the increase in EMFs. I personally want the choice to limit exposure to EMFs, to avoid documented negative health impacts from high EMF 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 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 parent. We used to live in a remote area of England where the nearest 5G cell tower was 6 miles away. Then about three years ago we moved back to the US within 1/2 mile of several towers located by a middle school and children’s sport park. We began experiencing noticeable mystery symptoms we had not encountered before. Our sleep became disrupted, our children started gaining unexplained weight and there is now a constant irritability that plagues our home for no discernible reason. Two of our children are now medicated for mood disorders. I have been doing a lot of research and began to wonder if that the towers might be causing us problems, as most of our other lifestyle choices remain the same. The limited studies I have been able to find do cause me concern and we need to have better information on what is happening to humans as a result of the reckless and rapid expansion of cell towers. It boggles the mind to think cell towers can be put so close to our homes, and without us even knowing about it. All without any proof this is safe. Please do not let cell companies get away with endangering Americans without first examining the health effects on humans, animals and the environment. 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’m a 46 year old mother of 2. Grew up in the 80s. Times have certainly changed. No one talks anymore - no one looks up anymore. They are constantly neck down staring drooling fixating on blue screen - zombie like circadian rhythm disruption so obvious almost as it was meant to provide harm. Cell phone towers next to schools and parks - dumbing the masses down. I have seen the decline of our children our young adults and ourselves slowly. No one is living in real life anymore just in the bubble of wireless nothingness. Radiation is very real - please make these signals harmonious- like the hertz that heal. Make America Wired again!

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 someone who is personally negatively affected by wireless radiation. When they built a cell tower too close to my home, we had to spent a great deal of money to hire people to evaluate how we could protect ourselves from it. Special paints. Special curtains. We are hard-wired to the internet. We do have a wifi router we can use but we cover it with special radiation reducing materials and we limit the times we use it. This personal. And many more suffer a lot more than me from it's effects. 5G is even worse. 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.
