The Epoch Times reports that the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is examining electromagnetic fields and has asked researchers and the public for input on EMF exposure, including radiofrequency radiation. Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., who announced the move on September 17, said the department wants to assess the evidence base and craft recommendations for schools and families. Comments will be accepted for 30 days starting September 21, and Kennedy said HHS will release a report this fall. The newspaper notes the FCC states on its website that no scientific evidence currently establishes a definitive link between wireless device use and cancer or other illnesses.

"The department issued a request for researchers and others to provide input on the impact of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure, including radiation from radiofrequencies, as it works to figure out the current evidence base and craft recommendations for schools and families."

— The Epoch Times

"Concern about the potential health effects of the exposure "has increased, particularly in relation to children, schools, and long-term cumulative exposure," Kennedy wrote in the document. "At the same time, scientific literature is extensive, technically complex, and not always easy for policymakers or public health stakeholders to interpret.""

— The Epoch Times

"Kennedy, a lawyer, has been involved in litigation involving electromagnetic fields, including a case against the Federal Communications Commission that resulted in a court in 2021 finding the agency's decision to keep in place 1996 wireless radiation limits was arbitrary and capricious because it "failed to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination that its guidelines adequately protect against the harmful effects of exposure to radiofrequency radiation unrelated to cancer.""

"But there are still gaps in knowledge, and we're filling those,"

— HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., quoted by The Epoch Times

"We've opened the process to the public because these questions deserve rigorous science, transparency, and answers,"

— HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., quoted by The Epoch Times
