info_outlineWhat the FCC and HHS comments could change for EMF, wireless radiation, and safer technology. We want you to be heard TODAY. This conversation focuses on a rare public comment opportunity with HHS and the FCC on EMF and wireless radiation. August Brice and Theodora Scarato from Environmental Health Services (Learn more about this great organization and how to file your comment below) discuss why the moment matters, what the agencies are asking, and how ordinary people can submit comments that become part of the public record. Theodora Scarato, who leads the EMF and Wireless program at Environmental Health Sciences, explains the outdated exposure limits, the lawsuit that forced the FCC to respond, and the specific issues commenters should raise. They also cover labeling, children’s exposure, data centers, power lines, and practical ways to reduce exposure at home and in communities. Key topics August and Theodora discuss labeling, including the idea that phones should clearly tell users to keep devices away from the body, similar to labeling rules in other countries. They break down the FCC remand issues commenters should mention: children long-term exposure non-cancer biological effects wildlife and environmental impacts cell phone testing methods that do not reflect real-world use Theodora emphasizes that anyone can comment, not just scientists, and that personal experiences, concerns about children, and requests for science-based limits all belong in the record. They explain why public comments matter legally: the comments in the record helped support the lawsuit and shape the arguments that followed. They compare U.S. exposure limits with other countries, noting that many nations allow far lower radiation levels than the United States. August and Theodora discuss safer practical choices, including wired Ethernet, reducing phone contact with the body, and being cautious with charging cords and always-on wireless devices. They cover schools, including calls to keep cell towers away from schools, use Ethernet in classrooms, and protect children and pregnant people with stricter standards. The second half turns to data centers and power lines, including land use, noise, water and air pollution, magnetic fields, and the push for local moratoriums and zoning protections.
