I hereby object to the Federal Communications Commission’s continued reliance on RF radiation exposure limits that have not been adequately updated to reflect current scientific evidence, modern wireless technologies, cumulative and long-term exposure, and the potential for non-thermal biological effects. The public deserves safety standards based on current, independent scientific research, transparent risk assessment, and the precautionary consideration of potential harm to human health. Regulatory standards must be periodically reassessed as new evidence emerges, rather than presumed adequate simply because they were adopted decades ago. I respectfully request that this objection be entered into the official record and that the FCC undertake a comprehensive, independent review of its RF radiation exposure standards, including their scientific basis, adequacy for contemporary technologies, and protection of residents, workers, and other potentially exposed populations. From my personal experience: I have been overexposed to EMF and RF radiation from unpermitted 5G wireless base station installed right above our living quarters. This cluster of transmitters were operated under FCC Experimental Radio License utilizing untested, unauthorized prototype equipment without any prior testing for RF/EMF emission compliance. Our family started to feel ill effects right after the activation of these devices and the symptoms got worst with each passing day. It got so bad that we ultimately had no other choice then to relocate to a new apartment to get away from this constant exposure. My mother now suffers from EHS and other symptoms which greatly affected quality of her life. Despite the many complaint we reported to FCC of the nature of the antennas, being used for experimentation and testing and the site not being registered and so forth, FCC's response was that the equipment is operating within the FCC limits even though they could not provide such verification themselves for such unregistered prototype. I urge you to update your safety standards based on recent studies provided to you by many scientist from all over the world so general public has a chance for better protection and that people do not have to go through similar experience of loosing their home or health. Sincerely, Oliver Kabilka

I live in Berkeley, CA. I feel that my health has deteriorated in the last years -- joint pain, fatigue, vertigo, mental fog and memory loss and other maladies. I have had four or five very scary episodes of vertigo, where my head was spinning, which evolved into a feeling that a strong force was pushing me down toward the ground. I couldn't stand up. I hobbled outside and took off my shoes and hummed (some things I had heard about to ground my self). On one of these occasions my mother (95) was coming up the block from her walk using her walker. She was slumped over and said she was exhausted. We recovered (otherwise I wouldn't be telling you this). Another time I saw my neighbor on the side of his house between our house and his house. He was trying to walk and then slumped over and couldn't stand up. I remember when I and some others were protesting the installation of a cell tower in our neighborhood, a military man walked by and told us cell technology was a "weapon" and told us of an incident when he was on a ship and a big flock of sea birds flew too close to the warship and dropped to their deaths when they hit the wall of the deadly energy field. We have no place to complain about these occurrences. The science loving, war capital city of Berkeley has no agency to talk to about it and are completely unsympathetic. We just have proliferation. I also read that this technology was created by the military and that, even though healthier frequencies could be used, they chose to use the unhealthy ones. I pray that those who perpetrate and perpetuate this technology for their own selfish gain will figure it out, perhaps by getting zapped themselves. Sincerely, Wanda Warkentin

For 9 years I have been researching and lecturing on the biological effects of wireless radiation, at conferences, on podcasts, and to legislatures. I have looked at 100's, possibly 1000's, of research results among the more than 10,000 published studies. I work with people who have developed extreme sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation (EMR), and seen positive results when the radiation is removed. My family has been affected by EMFs. We have had building biologists and EMF remediation experts in our home, where shielding has helped. Please see this DOCUMENT containing hundreds of references to scientific evidence of harm: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Cv_XZ4NdDBI3zl62aSJAfCx7GlqxC2PVh22ijw4rYAg/edit?usp=sharing

In 2016, I developed EMF hypersensitivity (EMR Syndrome) shortly after being exposed to 5 electrical and another 5 gas smart meters on my apartment bedroom wall while living in California. I was also subjected to my neighbors' wifi signals and their cell phone transmissions, and lived within 900 feet of a cell tower. My symptoms included: brain fog, depression, leg cramps, insomnia, severe tinnitus, and skin cancer that required two surgeries to successfully remove. I purchased an EMF meter to read the radiation output, but could not get the levels down low enough to sleep in my bedroom, despite shielding the walls. Consequently, I was forced to sleep on my living room floor. My only remedy was to move to Oregon, where I could replace the smart meter with an analog one, use a copper landline for telephone calls, and completely hardwire my internet connection. Since then, most of my symptoms have disappeared except the tinnitus. However, despite all of the precautions I have taken to protect my health, I cannot spend time in a crowd of people using their cell phones, nor in a building bathed in wifi. I'm lucky that I know how to protect myself, but most people are unaware of the damage that EMFs are doing to their mental and physical health. I pray that you will see fit to reassess the danger of EMFs so that no one else will ever be subjected to the suffering that I've had to endure.

In 2011 I bought my first iPhone. I began to feel very ill. When I put the phone down I felt better. I got rid of the phone. I lived my life only being able to use technology in limited ways but it was manageable. In 2019 my workplace updated their WiFi throughout the building and I was no longer able to be inside the building. In 2020 as most 5G was installed, it was the drop that tipped the bucket for the radiation exposure my body could handle and I am no longer able to use a computer, go inside any public buildings with WiFi, homes with WiFi, cars with Bluetooth or be in the vicinity of any type of cell tower. My life is severely limited due to the sea of non-ionizing radiation we live in each day. I cannot work, go shopping, or visit friends or family without severe radiation sickness
