To those individuals functioning at HHS:

We need more stringent RF radiation exposure standards in the United States.

There is a great deal of evidence of harmful biological effects spanning many decades that have been reported in peer reviewed, published, scientific journals. Some of these harmful biological effects are: sleep disruption, headaches, disruption of cell membrane channels, DNA damage, disruptions to heart functioning, leakage of the blood-brain barrier, increased risk of cancer, oxidative stress, anxiety, behavioral disruptions, memory loss, and decreased fertility. There are also anecdotal reports of fatigue, feelings of pressure in the head, nosebleeds, hair loss, ringing in the ears, nausea and ‘brain fog' after exposure to wireless radiation.

The subject is complex and it requires a thoughtful and precautionary approach.

It is very important to understand that radiation exposure guidelines have been declared inadequate by numerous scientists and medical doctors, especially because they were written with adults in mind and not for children. Our children are being exposed to unprecedented, unevaluated, unregulated levels of microwave radiation without complete study, without proper discussion, and without informed consent.

I urge the individuals at HHS to rely on appropriate health and biological expertise and to create better policies focused on precaution and guidelines that adequately protect the public.

The burden of proof lies with those who promote the technology. Rather than asking concerned citizens to prove that RF radiation is harmful, the ones who promote the technology, and those who benefit financially from the technology, need to prove RF radiation is safe.

This issue matters to me personally because I get heart palpations and earaches. My husband also experiences ill health and disrupted sleep with exposure.

I urge the HHS to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues.

I enclose for the record a report of evidence of biological harm from RF exposure. This report, written and compiled by Martin L. Pall, PhD, (Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences, Washington State University) is:
