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 a mom, an engineer with a passion for understanding how the body works.
Bioelectricity is fundamental to cellular function.
External electromagnetic fields interact with biological tissues.
Certain exposure conditions can alter physiology and, at sufficient intensities, cause harm. A key question is lower exposure over prolonged periods of time. As well as impact to growing babies / kids vs adults.
Can external EMFs alter the electrical gradients and signaling mechanisms that cells need to function?
Do particular electromagnetic exposures measurably alter nervous-system function, and are some individuals more responsive?
There are enough concerning findings in this report to warrant further research - Zorach Glaser's Bibliography of Reported Biological Phenomena ('Effects') and Clinical Manifestations Attributed to Microwave and Radio-Frequency Radiation, originally published in 1971 and revised in 1972.
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.
Wireless radiation significantly impacts the environment we live in compared with our ancestors. And may be a key factor in increased health issues.
Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.
