Objective:

To gather public input on potential health effects linked to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and radiofrequency (RF) radiation.

Approach:
  • Request for Information (RFI): HHS issued an RFI seeking evidence and information from various stakeholders, including scientists, physicians, and the public.
Key Findings:
  • HHS seeks to inform policymakers, families, schools, communities, and public health professionals with practical, evidence-based recommendations.
  • The RFI requests information on health experiences, exposure standards, measurement methods, sensitive populations, adverse health effects, and federal research priorities.
Interpretation:

HHS is implementing the MAHA Strategy, which instructs the assessment of research concerning electromagnetic radiation and health.

Limitations:
  • The RFI does not specify the timeframe for responses or the criteria for evaluating submissions.
Conclusion:

HHS encourages the submission of evidence to identify research gaps and direct federal research efforts.
