ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
As a registered nurse and mother,I am concerned about the constant and uncalculated exposure of nonionizing radiation we are exposed to. Just because it’s nonionizing- does not mean it’s not damaging. Studies have shown increased oxidative stress, increased histamine response and increased mood and behavioral challenges. We cannot ignore this issue. We must research and in the meanwhile reduce and remove WiFi from healthcare and school settings. I also do not want to be exposed to neighboring buildings and public installments of WiFi as I feel we do not know the effects because we have failed to look for the real effects of this technology. It’s clear we are getting less well as a population- that chronic disease is exploding. We cannot just keep saying it’s idiopathic- we must investigate what is different about this generational exposures- even if it’s inconvenient, expensive, and multi factorial. Thank you, Tracy Navar

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, I just want to state that there is no doubt about the adverse effects of wireless radiation. I know the FCC has guidelines regarding this but they are 30 years old and so much has changed since then. We now have 5G and our society is full of wireless devices, it's really unavoidable at this point. I used to have my router and all my network equipment in my bedroom and when I did I had terrible insomnia. Once I moved it to another room my sleep greatly improved. This is just 1 example. There are so many people that I've talked to that have various issues from wireless radiation and there are now thousands of studies verifying their negative effects. Here is just one of them that shows cell phone exposure reduces HRV (heart rate variability) in people which is a huge stress on the nervous system and the body as a whole which is a big deal. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32249199/ There are so many studies showing that the radiation causes tumors, DNA damage, neurological issues, fertility issues, negative effects on wildlife etc. This is a serious matter and I appreciate your attention to this. Thank you.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
D.C. Circuit Court (2021) found the agency had failed to adequately address—including children’s vulnerability, long-term exposure, environmental and wildlife impacts, and potential health effects involving reproduction, the immune system, and DNA damage. I have never seen so many cases of infertility, fatigue, brain fog, and headaches. What is causing this outbreak? I believe it is from the radiation people are constantly being exposed to. We did not have much of a problem with this issue in the 1800s and early 1900s. Now, Children are crammed in classrooms with their computers all day. There are so many children complaining of headaches, being tired, and being unable to focus, which I believe is caused by the heavy exposure to radiation from their environment. This is a crime we are committing against our precious children. Let's make the world better for these precious gifts from God. Thank you Dawn Singleton PhD, DHs, DNM

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
For too long, telecommunications companies have gotten away with gambling with human and animal health via radiation exposure. We need real controlled studies about the potential harms and long-term effects of radiation and chronic exposure to non-ionizing radiation, including children’s vulnerability, long-term exposure, environmental and wildlife impacts, and potential health effects involving reproduction, the immune system, and DNA damage. Here's a link to a relevant news article on this topic, which unpacks the harms potential of radiation pollution: https://www.newsweek.com/migratory-birds-bee-navigation-5g-technology-electromagnetic-radiation-934830 Pollution affects us all, and no person has consented to being chronically poisoned by radiation exposure because informed consent of harms has never occurred. Updated guidelines that take into consideration changes in technology since 1996--and which place a moratorium on new technologies until their potential harms can be properly understood from an informed-consent perspective--are imperative for human and animal health and general welfare.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
When wireless started, I began not to feel well. Year after year more wireless "things" make it into the environment. Every year I feel worse than the year before. I have been forced to spend thousands of dollars to try to protect my health. More towers that we know now are toxic and now this Arc GIS Surveillance System has been fired up in my city and I am having major issues with my thyroid, my feet, ankles and legs are swelling and have blisters. My legs are in a great deal of pain. This all started after September 6, 2026. After the Arc GIS was installed and fired up. My hair is falling out, and I have a metal plate behind my thyroid I feel like my thyroid is being cooked and my esophagus is burning. I cannot eat solid foods because it hurts too much. I wake in the morning and go to the kitchen where I immediately feel the LED streetlights that are more powerful than ever. I have fainted in my house, had heart attacks and strokes because of streetlights that are apparently operating above 8G. I can read the signals from the streetlights I read in town, but I can't read the LED streetlights on my street. I talked to Scott McCollough about this and was told some of the streetlights are now operating at 9 or 10G. This is a death sentence for me because I have EMR-s, a well under the house and a metal plate in my neck. I have no life. I cannot go where I like and I cannot do the things I would like to be able to do once again. I would like to be able to work so I can pay my bills, but I can't because of all of the toxicities in every building and street and highway. I do not feel safe in my house. I feel like and experiment and a target. I am in a great deal of physical pain and suffering greatly. I would like all of this turned off before I expire. I should not feel the way I do, and I am so angry this is potentially ending my life. I am not enjoying this one bit. My husband has metabolic syndrome from all of this, and now he is having symptoms of EMR-s. I pray he doesn't go down because then we are really screwed. If my husband gets so sick he can't work, then what? I asked AI if all of the wireless was operating above the legal safe limit set by the FCC. It told me all of the cell towers since 2017 have been operating above this legal safe threshold. I asked what % above the legal safe limit set by the FCC the Arc GIS is operating. It said 900% above the legal safe limit. There is no oversight and no testing with mass spectrometers. There is no accountability. If this continues there will be no life. The birds are disappearing from my area, the bugs are almost gone, the bees have left the area or died, the weather modification and the constant barrage of toxins sprayed on us every day make it impossible to grow food. I want my life back. I do not want to continue to see my grandchildren and great grandchildren being harmed. I fear they will not make it to adulthood at this rate. I have had 2 of my grandchildren crying on my front porch because the wireless hurts them but they can't tell their parents because they don't want their parents talking about them the way they talk about me. That made me cry. Children are dying in my city at an alarming rate. I want it to stop and the only way it will ever stop is to take the towers down and stop using this dangerous weapon we call wireless. Before 5G I almost died from the amount of wireless I was being exposed to. When all of the wireless was turned off the rash on the top 1/3 of my body went away in three weeks. This included taking the smart meter off the house. I had Mast Cell Activation Syndrome from the smart meter and when the sending unit was removed, I could eat food again, use shampoo, wash my clothes with laundry soap. I was getting my life back and then 5G went up and is still going up. It hurts like hell. Since the Arc GIS system was turned on apparently thousands of people have been complaining about the same kinds of health issues I'm having. that's a lot of injuries. Please stop this now while we still have a chance to reverse some of the damage to humans and the environment. Thank you

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
EMF radiation emitting towers needs to be reigned in. The health effects that we already know about are profound. Radio Frequency limits must be lowered. Of course the issue is big tech and big money and now having rolled this out in such a huge way and then say "oops", is a big lift with enormous push back. We need limits and better testing and reduction of exposure. We have been allowing the tech companies to race from 2G to 6G and beyond. NO, we need a halt to this before everyone is sick and sickly. I, for one person, have extremely disrupted sleep in the presence of towers and wifi. This technology was rolled out with no proper long term safety studies and the safety foundations are resting on antiquated numbers from long, long ago (i.e. does it raise temps) Questions: What does it do to cells, the immune system, T cells, mitochondria, a pregnant woman and the developing fetus? I have palpitations and a heart rate around 110 in the presence of towers and moderate EMF signals. Is there a significant portion of the population that has more sensitivity to this as I do? Is it causing cancers? Let us use the Precautionary Principle to protect people and the unborn and back off and lower the exposure levels. An Inconvenient Truth it may be, but do not let that stop the FCC from doing the right things for Americans and future generations. Science shows cells and life can be harmed, sleep patterns disrupted and thus Radio Frequency Limits need to be SIGNIFICANTLY LOWERED.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of Reassessment of Federal Communications Commission Radiofrequency Exposure Limits and Policies ET Docket No. 13-84 COMMENTS OF JANET DAVENPORT This filing provides comments from Janet Davenport in the above-referenced proceeding. I am a member of the public concerned with the unaddressed potential health and environmental risks of radiofrequency (RF) radiation from wireless infrastructure and devices. SUMMARY I am filing a report for a friend who is so sick with EHS that she can't even use electricity let alone get online to comment on her condition. She is an individual consumer living in Australia. Janet had to have the wiring in her home restructured so that all other wiring was separate from it. She uses no electricity and keeps warm during winter using candles. With exposures to wi-fi, mobile phones and cell towers, within 3 minutes she suffers severe migraines and begins vomiting. It can take her weeks to recover from simple exposures so for the most part she is completely isolated with no support from anyone. As I have EHS too, we write to each other and have done for years. It helps her not to feel so alone. I know Janet would like to see awareness raised on EMF dangers and protocols set in place to protect vulnerable sensitive people like herself. ARGUMENT Janet understands the full effects that EMF can have on the human body from her personal experience. She also gets printed newsletters and magazines to keep her updated on EMF research. Some of the points she would like to illustrate on these effects include: 1. The Effects of oxidative stress on the body including cancer, free radicals, blood chemistry. Oxidative mechanisms of biological activity of low-intensity radiofrequency radiation - PubMed 2. The acute health effects caused by smartphones and antennas which have proven to cause red blood cells to rouleaux creating hypoxic conditions in the body. CONCLUSION Accordingly, I strongly urge the Commission to, under the weight of the scientific evidence, find that the current RF exposure limits are insufficient to protect public health and the environment. They should be lowered to reflect the science previously disregarded by the Commission. Dated: 26th September 2026 Sincerely, JANET DAVENPORT Site 14, 2 Evans Rd Canton Beach, NSW 2263 Australia

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Sept 24, 2026 ET Docket No. 13-84 Reassessment of FCC RF Limits/Policies. I'm Jaime Schunkewitz, an electrical/biomedical engineer with an advanced case of electromagnetic hypersensitivity and accompanied chemical sensitivity. I was a process control engineer commissioning oil refineries, and chemical plants. Tremors in my forearms were a sure sign of neural damage according to Dr. Rea. Later while a principal software engineer in R&D, I could no longer endure the excruciating pain from the EMF emitted by my PC at work. I cut the cord and went wireless at the times. Pulsed microwaves emitted by wireless devices are an existential threat to my health and existence. Cell phones, Bluetooth, wifi all cause acute, severe symptoms including headache, tinnitus, fatigue, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), cognitive decline, insomnia, chest pain, heart fibrillation, muscle weakness, digestive gut pain. The effects accumulate, so the more time being exposed the worse the symptoms become, and longer recovery time is required. If I don't have an opportunity to recover then a feverish illness take over, where I'm bedridden. I'm only able to type because I'm 25 feet from my laptop using 10x binoculars. The keyboard is an analog/passive matrix with fiber optic isolation. My trackball is shielded and also fiber optic isolated. The laptop runs on the battery, charged by a linear power supply, with a short wired Ethernet cable, the modem and router run on linear DC power supplies , all wired without WiFi, and filtered to keep the noise from conducting onto the power lines. The printer is the most brutally noisy device, and turned on for a few seconds at a time, even with blutooth disarmed. The setup still becomes painful after several minutes of use, more so when on-line. Any witness can see my face turn red following short exposure to EMF. My face now burns constantly since smart meters were installed in the neighborhood. I visited my MD the same week they were installed, when he prescribed a topical ointment for Rosacia, because my face was beet red. At the time I wasn't aware the SMs were commissioned. I've become a prisoner in my own home, terrified of becoming ill from the ubiquitous cell towers, cell phones and other wireless devices. Even though we have an analog electric utility meter the pulsed microwaves from other houses still effect me, both from the radiation and high frequency noise conducted onto the power transmission lines. I don't have a smart phone, there are are no wireless devices in the house, there are no switching mode power supplies, No one uses a cell phone in the house. So there are no contradictions, I do all I can to avoid EMF just to stay alive and be as productive as possible. Otherwise I'll fall into a malaise, never to recover. In two instances my heart has ceased beating, until my hands froze and unable to utter a word. That occurred in the early stages of my syndrome, before remediating. I hide outside in a shed when the oil furnaces are on, same for TVs the washer, vacuum, blenders, etc. I can tell when a cell phone is on, even while standing idle; first tinnitus, then a headache. The symptoms don't just disappear when the phone goes off, rather they linger for hours,, even days, depending on the baseline of my sensitivity and exposure to EMF and chemicals. I can feel a 5G phone as someone walks in the house. Countless scientific studies prove the detrimental health effects of pulsed microwaves, yet the most credible, stark evidence are people like me. We've warned others, cried for help and recognition only to be bullied, tortured, ridiculed, ignored, left to fend for ourselves. My own MD told me I have to be my own advocate when I requested assistance in providing accommodations at the office. They refuse to turn the 50 inch TV off for me. It's playing gibberish while I'm suffering from oxidative stress, Add the cell phones then the symptoms begin to build with time, my heart rate quickens. When the chest pain begins I've entered a more acute stage, when gone too far a feverish sickness ensues a day later. Smart meters violate the right to privacy and the inalienable right to pursue happiness. All of us should have the option to have analog utility meters. Schoolchildren are at risk, screen time is pulsed microwave time. The combination of EMF and chemicals is the leading cause of chronic disease via activation of voltage gated calcium channels and subsequent oxidative stress. The single most effective way to make America great again is by cleaning up the environment from chemicals and EMF. The current rise in pollution, including atmospheric mercury, concurrently with pulsed microwaves is undermining us. Best Regards, Jaime Schunkewitz.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Please create meaningful EMF standards. Good effects will redound in human health and our beloved natural world, and will stimulate our economy. Of course you are familiar with the U.S. National Toxicology Program’s 2018 “most extensive study to date,” determining that cell phone emissions cause tumors in male rats and DNA damage. https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/whatwestudy/topics/cellphones/index.html?utm_source=direct&utm_medium=prod&utm_campaign=ntpgolinks&utm_term=cellphone Immediately addressing the exposure of our school children seems a natural priority. My own story: Awareness of EMF sensitivity came to me after 54 years of age. Perhaps that’s when SmartMeters and a nearby Verison hotspot came in, or — as effects are cumulative — maybe that’s when my bucket overflowed, so to speak. My sensitivity spiked on a single day, after a medical test that day. Thereafter, there was no place in my house I could sleep before purchasing a sleep canopy — which is fragile, difficult to maintain, and does not stop all EMFs. And I continued to lose health from daytime exposure. I had a breast cancer operation in 2008, and was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease thereafter. I sold that house and moved. As you doubtless know, there are many, many symptoms which vary per human body and source, focus, direction, timing, and power of signal or flow. I seem sensitive to all three types of EMFs. Inability to sleep and feeling unwell are perhaps the words to describe my most abiding symptoms. Before selling my unhealthy house, from which I couldn’t move before finding a healthy place, I got down to 88 pounds (height 5’5”) despite eating 5000-6000 calories a day. After four years of recovery in a healthy-EMFwise location, seldom venturing into the world, I’m back at 120 pounds and feeling good. Hashimotos disease has disappeared. But my EMF sensitivity continues to grow, despite my seeking medical and energetic cures. I am unable to withstand exposure in work places, so I can’t work; a doctor exempted me from jury duty; I am grateful for protective film in my car windows. I laugh: I am one of the few to benefit from Covid precautions; six feet of distance in checkout lines makes others’ cell phones easier to bear. Monetary costs are of course significant: selling and buying houses, cancer treatment, seeking medical remedies to EMF harms, being unemployed. One knows that my new house may become untenable too, since the telecommunications industry calls the shots. I know others who are EMF sensitive. One is housebound at 50. Others don’t want it known that they are sensitive or feeling unwell, beset, pained. One of my silent EHS friends is an M.D. Another is a school official. I imagine that these standards would limit most stringently the harmful frequencies currently in common use (frequencies originally used, as I hear, in military weapons research). If I were in your position, I would favor the building biology guidelines for dwellings and places where children or the sick congregate. Knowing that those limits will be exceeded many places, work toward safety would be done in stages, first with no new installation or upgrades permitted in impacted areas; second with phased reductions in permitted output of damaging EMFs. Much more healthful frequencies exist, and technological improvements to favor health can offer great economic opportunities and environmental improvement. Some healthier options are already available, but cannot compete against the entrenched practices while those are allowed to set the standard. I wish courage, far-sightedness, and compassion to attend you in your considerations.
