Research & federal duties

50 years ago, when I worked as a broadcast engineer on a high-powered TV transmitter, I was aware that the risk of a brain tumor in my profession was double that of the population. Ever since, I've made efforts to avoid EMF. I use Ethernet for my computer and streaming box, even though WiFi would be more convenient. It is difficult to find wired products, as the presumption by manufacturers is that the public wants wireless. The FCC has been completely useless when it comes to protecting the public health. Its refusal to reopen the silly 1996 thermal standard for human EMF protection was a pure industry give-away. There is a great deal of scientific evidence of the harms of EMF on living tissue. Dr. Martin Pall's discovery of the voltage-gated calcium channel was the first plausible mechanism presented for how biological damage occurs. Dr. Henry Lai at the University of Washington has done pathbreaking research. The Environmental Health Trust has been a leader in this field. I believe they will be submitting comments that I hereby support. Several aggregations of research: https://greenmedinfo.com/problematic-action/electromagnetic-field-harms https://www.jrseco.com/wp-content/uploads/2017-09-13-Scientist-Appeal-5G-Moratorium.pdf (Contains links to many references) https://www.emfanalysis.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/EMF-Effects-via-Voltage-Gated-Calcium-Channels-Dr-Martin-Pall.pdf https://bioinitiative.org/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19264461 Please focus literature reviews on studies completed by independent researchers. There is such a long history of industry-influenced studies in pharmaceuticals as well as in telecommunications that industry-sponsored research cannot be trusted.

Since those electromagnetic exposure fields affect all of us, it seems to me to be a quite important subject to evaluate.We cannot all be researchers in labs, so we must depend on those who are specialists, just like we are not all cops, members of our city council, and so on. We each have our own role in contributing to the well being of our society. So we depend on others for the parts that we personally cannot really take an active part in. I appeal to the officials who should be involved in studying this , EMF, RF, and wireless radiation exposure , to do their job, and take the actions necessary to protect the rest of us from harms.

EMF is too low frequency to do any health affects to humans. Same with RF, same with wireless.

I am a parent and grandparent and I am concerned about cell phone usage causing cancers or other health effects and there are studies that show it is plausible. This study is one of many. Brain tumours and mobile phones. Yang et al. (PLoS One, 2017; 11 studies, 6,028 cases): mobile phone use of ten years or more was associated with glioma, OR 1.44 (95% CI 1.08–1.91); same-side use, OR 1.46 (1.12–1.92); low-grade glioma, OR 2.22 (1.69–2.92). No association with high-grade glioma. PMID 28472042

I believe that significantly more research should be done into the effects of 5G on physical health and mental health. I also believe that the findings of these studies should be taken into account and used to regulate the smartphone industry.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32395207 Objectives: Exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) emitted from mobile phones may cause a deleterious effect on human health and may affect the male reproductive system., a carotenoid isolated from, is a phar¬macologically active component of saffron. So, this study was conducted to investigate the protective effect ofon the male reproductive system of 60 day old mice after EMF exposure. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: 1. Em group (2100 MHZ); 2. Cr group (50 mg/kg); 3. Em+Cr group (2100 MHZ+50 mg/kg), and 4. Control group. Sperm parameters (count, and abnormal percent), testis weight index, testis volume, seminiferous tubule diam¬eter, germinal epithelium thickness, LH, FSH and testosterone serum level, testicular Heat shock protein A2 (HspA2) immunoreactivity, and apoptosis were evaluated. Results: HspA2 immunoreactivity, apoptosis in the germinal epithelium and abnormal sperm were increased in Em group compared with the control group

I am submitting this comment as an individual patient with a scientific background in biological sciences and as someone who has experienced a substantial decline in health and daily functioning accompanied by significant sensitivity to environmental stimuli. I respectfully ask HHS to include individuals with complex, multisystem conditions and reported electromagnetic sensitivity in its evaluation of potential health effects associated with electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and radiofrequency (RF) radiation. Before March 2021, I was healthy, physically active, employed full-time, and able to participate in farm work and normal daily activities without the limitations I experience today. Following an acute reaction to my first Moderna COVID-19 vaccination in March 2021, I developed persistent health problems involving autonomic dysfunction, heat intolerance, abnormal heart-rate responses, neurological symptoms, fatigue, and other multisystem complaints. Subsequent medical evaluations identified several conditions, including dysautonomia/POTS, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and small-fiber neuropathy confirmed by skin biopsy. I am not presenting this history as proof that electromagnetic exposure caused my illness. Rather, I am asking HHS to recognize the importance of investigating environmental factors that may aggravate symptoms in people with existing neurological, autonomic, or multisystem dysfunction.

I absolutely agree that the electro magnetic field have a detrimental effect on human life. It seems like is a known issue for decades. Why hasn't our government even done anything on this matter. Sounds to me politicians lined their pockets back when these studies were active and swept them under the carpet, as usual.

I am responding as an individual consumer, parent, grandparent and concerned citizen. Many studies exist indicating that exposure to electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation can have a deleterious effect on animals and humans. I urge the American government to take this seriously, digest the existing data and enact regulations and guidelines designed to protect the US population.

As a doctor, I am elated that HHS is finally researching this growing health problem and updating regulations to safeguard the American public. Many studies ave confirmed the dangers - 1009 hare been assembled at https://substack.com/redirect/0a1cf08a-87b5-4b55-89a0-0f35c2a27b39?j=eyJ1IjoiMTZuejNmIn0.0JRFrFJLnpmnW6NApEZYehNufdlg6rsXAjSF4yRCf_4
