Requests independent review and stronger exposure protections, citing studies and a daughter selling her …

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. One of the main reasons that my daughter is selling her house in town is due to lack of sleep since a 5G tower was installed. 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.

Expresses family concerns about wireless exposure, acknowledges multiple possible causes of headaches, an…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello. My family and I are concerned with the ubiquitous exposure to wireless radiation. Though we live in the countryside, we can see cell towers on hilltops. The local power company updated all underground lines and told us the old metal wires would soon become defunct. They wanted us to use wireless WiFi, but we said ‘no’ and had them use physical lines instead of going wireless. My husband and I suffer from frequent headaches; this may be due to multiple reasons, but what I have read from sensitive people’s testimonies, wireless radiation could be a contributing factor. Other family members on our farm are infants and small children; it is an established fact that they are more susceptible to the negative effects of wireless radiation. We have friends who live very near to a wireless radiation source who have developed multiple health problems since moving onto that farm. Prior to that move, they were in excellent health. Please consider revising our lax American standards on wireless radiation. I know there are European countries with stricter standards because they have reviewed the science that reveals the true dangers of wireless radiation. We may not be able to see the thing that harms us, but it can and has been studied and you have the power to say, “Let’s protect people”. No need to completely get rid of all wireless radiation, of course, but there definitely is a need to put into place safety measures across the board for the protection of our most valuable asset—-people. Thank you! ~Anna~

Attributes family sleep, cardiac and eye problems to expanding wireless infrastructure and calls for inve…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Sleep disturbances, heart palpitations or other cardiac symptoms, eye issues,and more health problems, used to be rare or non-existent for me and others in my family until the expansion of wireless technologies and cell tower installations near our homes! Now, the effects of these types of radiation have shown up in many people I know! It's overdue that the truth of being exposed to these types of emissions is dangerous and must be honestly investigated, then, limit our exposure by banning most of it! There are safer ways to make technology much safer for our health and well-being before it causes further damage to our lives! The proof that these technologies and their radiation emissions do harm humans, plants animals and the environments we live in!
