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 grandparent and concerned member of the public

When I am exposed to wireless radiation from wireless towers and high power lines even for brief periods of time, I experience sever headaches and an overwhelming feeling of pressure on my body. This effect has increased over time as more and more. 5G towers have been built and activated in and around areas where I have lived. Relocation to areas away from towers and high power lines has made a huge difference in the quality of my life. I believe HHS should address this issue on behalf of all of us who have and will continue to have physical pain and health issues due to the continuous exposure to the wireless radiation that needs to be mitigated.

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 and families with an opportunity to be heard.
