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 [patient, parent, family member, caregiver, healthcare professional, researcher, advocate, concerned member of the public, or other].

In my wider circle of Friends I know two persons who are strongly affected by the radiation of mobile-phone towers around them.

Until 4G the negative effects like headaches and nervousness and feeling unwell were not so strong, but since 5G they have to protect themselves

rigorously with very special, expensive fabric (even slightly covering their face), during the night they sleep under a special construction

(baldachin, made of very special protectiv fabric) to avoid exposure to the radiation of 5G.

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.
