ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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.

Describes dangerous glare from LED low beams on rural roads affecting the commenter and children, and ask…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I live in rural Montana and lighting that is at 6,000 k led as they come up and down Hills can be extremely blinding to the point where I have to stop my vehicle. I have had Deer Run in front of me and I couldn't even see them because I was so blinded by the oncoming car. I am still not sure how I've missed them. It even affects my young kids who have to put their hands up as the car passes so they can maintain their eyes on the road. When you go into bigger cities with all the lighting is not as nearly as bad as it is in dark rural areas. I hear about people going off the road all the time due to the blinding headlights especially older people I hope this helps you come to a good decision by at least softening low beams. High beam LEDs are still great and wonderful living in rural areas. It's just the low beams and the LEDs are so extremely frustrating. Subarus are probably the worst offenders you can't even tell between their high and low beams. Enter thank you for your

Argues that Section 704 and federal preemption remove local control and remedies for RF injuries, particu…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
There is a lot of literature/articles/studies to support 'No704'. Here is just one - Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, codified as Communications Act at 47 U.S.C. § 332(c)(7)(B)(iv), states: “No State or local government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with the Commission’s regulations concerning such emissions.” Some courts have interpreted “environmental effects” to include human health effects. This effectively strips local authorities of the ability to oppose cell tower permits based on health and environmental effects, as long as the emissions fall within the FCC’s limits. This is unconstitutional because it deprives states and local governments of their traditional police powers designed to protect the health and welfare of their citizens but does not provide a federal remedy or other meaningful oversight. Additionally, several court decisions hold that local jurisdictions cannot regulate other forms of wireless technologies (WiFi routers, cell phones, etc.) because the FCC has sole authority to regulate the safety of these devices. As long as RF emissions fall within the FFC’s limits, people cannot sue the device manufacturer for their RF injuries. This deprives people of their Constitutional rights, e.g. informed consent, property rights, due process, right to a jury trial, and right to life and liberty. This legal framework must be dismantled because: RF radiation below FCC limits has been shown to harm children’s health and the environment. Children harmed by RF radiation exposure are left without remedies or compensation. FCC guidelines are outdated, do not take children into account, and fail to consider current scientific evidence. Excessive FCC authority overrides local control and judicial oversight.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Smart meters and wireless towers made me dizzy and non functional-foggy brained too. The research confirms this. It invades our homes, there is When the towers and then smart meters started I got dizzy and have had brain fog. Hard to function and Pleae read the research from Europe and STOP THEM! There is no escape! And 6G has promised to track our every move and broadcast even worse. Can even YOU stop this? the Cell towers are in our children's schools areas and on churches. The bad guys are after us in every way possible to scramble our brains, make us sick and confused. PS don't forget the chem trails!!!

Reports knowing people with health problems attributed to RF exposure and requests thorough investigation…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 citizen. This RF radiation is real and very harmful as I have had the experience of knowing people with health issues related to this radiation. I have deep concerns over what we as the general public are exposed to from towers and personal wireless devices. I feel that the level of danger to the public needs to be be investigated thoroughly. 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, families, health care providers, researchers, and scientists with an opportunity to finally be heard on this critical public health issue.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
When I go up in a building with lots of towers on it, I feel physically ill. I struggle to not vomit. I'm severely nauseous. Obviously, that is at more extreme levels. But we do that to neighbors and schools. We need studies and regulation. I live in fear of a tower going up next to my house where I could not escape.
