Scientific American reports on Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s new HHS request for information on electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation. The article contrasts the department's call for personal injury stories with the scientific norm of systematic evidence review.

Note: This is mainstream science-journalism coverage of the same HHS EMF initiative already tracked by EMF Signal through official, advocacy and press sources. It is included for its Scientific American framing.

"The way that any health agency would manage this is to have a systematic, careful review looking at all the evidence, considering the strengths and weaknesses and trying to put together some kind of consensus or holistic picture"

— Kenneth Foster, professor emeritus of bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania
