Re: RF/EMF Exposure and Human Health: Response to Request for Information
Docket No.: HHS-OASH-2026-0397
Dear Sir or Madam,
Please find attached my submission, RF/EMF Exposure and Human Health: Response to the Request for Information, submitted on behalf of the EM Radiation Research Trust.
The submission draws on my personal experience, concerns raised by affected communities, scientific literature, and many years of research, public engagement and campaigning on radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF/EMF) and human health. It highlights concerns regarding the assessment of health risks associated with RF/EMF exposure, the need for independent research and transparent evaluation of the evidence, and the importance of meaningful public engagement in decisions affecting public health.
I am also providing the ECOLOG report (2000) concerning mobile telecommunications and health effects as a supplementary PDF for HHS to consider alongside my submission. Both documents contain references to scientific studies and relevant literature concerning RF/EMF exposure and human health. I respectfully urge HHS to examine these references and consider the research and evidence presented in both documents as part of its review.
In light of the serious public health concerns raised and the continuing scientific debate surrounding RF/EMF exposure, I urge HHS to give urgent consideration to the precautionary principle and implement appropriate measures to protect public health. Action to reduce avoidable exposure should not be unnecessarily delayed while further independent research and transparent scientific assessment continue. Protecting the public must remain a priority, with particular attention to potentially vulnerable groups, including children.
I respectfully request that both documents, together with the scientific references they contain, be considered as part of the HHS review and included in the relevant public record, in accordance with the applicable submission procedures.
Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this important public health matter. I hope these materials will assist HHS in its consideration of the scientific evidence, the concerns of affected communities, and the urgent need for effective, transparent and precautionary measures to safeguard public health.
Yours faithfully,
Eileen O’Connor
