Children & vulnerable groups

Secretary Kennedy, please protect us from EMF radiation caused by our exposure to technology! Save us and our children from the consequences of wireless radiation!

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 urge HHS to independently review the health and environmental evidence on RF radiation and to recommend protective exposure limits and setbacks from homes and schools.

Hello and I’m so grateful to you guys for allowing this submission.. I’ve been praying for someone to hear… I am one of so many people with TBI (traumatic brain injury) who react very strongly to EMF… Our systems are very sensitive and most of us struggle in life so that we don’t have extra energy to put in complaints… Most individuals with TBI have their hypothalamus effected… Hypothalamus is the control center for the body’s regulation, and with it being compromised, gets severely affected by the disturbances of EMF to the body.. Most of us cannot tolerate fluorescent light, high usage of cell phone phones or living around cell towers… There are so many individuals affected by TBI who don’t even realize that they have TBI because injuries to their skull happened when they were very young or they were not given importance to at the time… Most never get tested and diagnosed… This is a silent, even majority perhaps.. I am a neuroscientist with TBI, that is how I know what my issue was… I’m in my 60s and it took all my life to figure out what caused me to struggle so much in life… Most of us don’t get an opportunity to get an education, please help our community.. we get focus issues, frequent nausea, migraines, irregular heartbeat, cancer, digestion issues, etc., etc. Thank you so much.

Please research the connection between mold toxicity and mycotoxins with electromagnetic frequency. My daughter was extremely sensitive to EMF after she was exposed to a moldy building for 5 days and tested high for mycotoxins in her body. There seems to be a strong connection between the two.

The federal guidelines that are used to determine the safety limits for exposure to wireless radiation are decades old and have not kept pace with the rapid expansion of wireless technology or the growing body of scientific research raising concerns about its effects on human health and the environment.  We must have more independent and rigorous transparent research for wireless radiation- particularly in populations such as children and the elderly.  Most of the outlined research was done 10-15 years ago- which is outdated especially since the phones and the internet have ramped up their radiation outputs. But looking at what has been already researched, I found one study which shows DNA strand damage from "industry accepted radiation levels".  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31138035/ There has been previous research into how EMF disrupts the immune system. I am concerned about this. More research is needed. I myself get severe headaches due to my sensitivity to the electromagnetic radiation.  I avoid staying near cell towers because of these headaches. When not near the towers,  I am headache free.   Thank you for finally looking into more up-to-date research so that others can also benefit.

Im am so concern and know how harmful radiation is to our hearing our vision our breathing and our overall health. My ears ring, my skin develops itchy hard to describe spots that are red yet dry patchy in exposed area on legs and arms…please keep this harmful radiation away from children school playgrounds the regulations is not followed and should be addressed…
