I am submitting this comment as someone concerned about the health effects of wireless radiation as well as the effects on the environment.

I have been personally affected by wireless radiation, in the form of burning and debilitating sensations in my hand and arm from holding my cell phone. I have had to limit handling a cell phone, and keep it on a holder or stand or away from my person as often as possible. I also stay as far away from our wireless router as I can in our home.

I hope that HHS will use this opportunity to create a comprehensive report on the current medical, biological, and public health knowledge regarding these effects and take action on that. Please consider the experiences of those affected by this radiation as part of what is reviewed to come up with what should be the scientific underpinnings to actual protective standards and action by the federal government.
