I am writing regarding the FCC’s response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ remand concerning its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. The Court directed the FCC to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination that its guidelines adequately protect humans against harmful effects of RF radiation unrelated to cancer. Specifically, the court required the FCC to address the impacts of RF radiation on children, the health implications of long-term exposure, the ubiquity of wireless devices and technological developments, impacts on the environment, and the adequacy of the FCC’s testing procedures for cell phones and other portable devices. The FCC should fully consider evidence and real-world experiences concerning the health and environmental impacts of wireless radiation, including non-cancer health effects, impacts on children, long-term and cumulative exposure, cancer, and impacts on wildlife and the environment. The FCC is not a health agency and does not have expertise in medicine, biology or public health. Yet, the agency continues to assert authority over RF exposure standards and is preparing to reach conclusions about whether its existing guidelines adequately protect the public. I urge the FCC to recognize the critical role of federal health agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and to rely on appropriate health and biological expertise when addressing the issues identified by the court. This issue matters to me personally because wireless radiation negatively affects me in numerous ways, namely in that short and long term exposure from cell phones, Wi-Fi, cell towers and other wireless sources impacts me substantially. It makes me extremely fatigued. I have serious brain fog whenever I'm around it. I never get deep, restful sleep when exposed to wi-fi, 4G, or 5G radiation. My fatigue is off the charts because of it. On rare ocassions when I can escape the wireless onslught, such as in remote rural areas with no cel coverage, I sleep very well and feel rested upon awakening. Every since wireless electric utility smart meters were deployed on every home and business in 2013, I haven't had a decent night's sleep in all this time. It's a VERY serious problem. In terms of home use, it is imperitive we keep fiber optic and copper landline technology which poses no danger whatesoever and is far more secure and reliable, especially in severe weather. I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court.

Theresa Melia – Graton, California October 16, 2026. Dear People of the FCC I suffer from electro-magnetic frequency radiation from wireless signal. I hear and feel wireless signal, and have for more than 20 years. If I have the misfortune of being where a sine wave lands, from a cell tower, I feel excruciating pain. The pain drills through my ears, into my brain. I must move quickly to get out of the line of attack. Wireless signal has stolen silence and quiet from my life. I remember the blessed sound of silence/quiet and I long to hear it again. There are some Nature places that are still quiet. They are rare and require travel. I will never own or use a cellphone. I have done various “remedies”, to help protect my home from wireless signal. No cell phones are allowed on my property. I opted-out of “smart” meters. I planted iron rich soil and some iron rods around my house in hope of directing signal into the earth. But wireless signal is very attracted to electricity running in the wiring of our homes. This union of wireless signal with electrical current in wiring causes” dirty” electricity, and increases the noise factor. The sound is constant and high pitched. I keep the electricity off in the upstairs room in my home, it is a little quieter there. Arthur Firstenberg in his book, “The Invisible Rainbow, a History of Electricity and Life”, showed that after every increase of electricity on Earth, a pandemic followed. Covid and 5G are intimately related. Now we are assaulted by wireless electricity streaming through our air. More and more satellites bombard the Earth with more and more electro-magnetic frequency radiation. We all need air to live. Plants, animals, birds, bees, people, all need fresh, clean unpolluted air to live and be healthy. Please stop this insane assault on all life. Use fiber-optic wired technology. NO MORE WIRELESS! Ban all satellites from bombarding Earth with EMF Radiation. PLEASE do what is moral and wise. Many Thanks. Theresa R. Melia 420 Edison St. Graton, California
As someone who has already experienced life long health struggles, migraines, fatigue and been treating chronic Lyme disease and co-infections for years now, I have distinctly and directly felt the damaging impacts 5G has instigated since the tower (less than 1000 feet) from my house was activated. Within a week of its' activation I was already seeing increased inflammation, fatigue, headaches, more difficultly with detoxing, and increased brain fog and emotional irritability. Our technology should NOT be toxic to our biology and our environment, and certainly it does not need to be. There are better alternatives. We ALL deserve and should demand better - for ourselves, for our children and their children. No one should ever have to live under toxic burdens that they themselves did not agree to exposure to, or have any say in. This must stop if we desire well being for huemanity.
We do NOT need 5G radiation bombarding us 24/7 in our home and wherever we go! And especially within a mile of schools where our precious children are playing outside and trying to learn inside the buildings! Honestly, the headaches, exhaustion and brain fog that these towers cause effect us all, most likely are the cause of many cancers (along with the NASTY pesticides that are sprayed on our food and on school playgrounds!)
Cell towers and other wireless radiation has been causing havic in my life for over 20 years. Non stop ringing in my head. I feel like my skin is burning. Holding my cell phone I have to go poo immediately. Brain fog and body fatigue plague me. None of you care, because you all profit at regular people expense
Good Morning, I am writing regarding the FCC’s response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ remand concerning its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. The regulations and guidelines concerning wireless technology sorely needs updating. Considering how pervasive wireless technology is in public buildings, home use and commercial spaces, we need to be protecting citizens from RF exposure. I personally have been sensitized to RF radiation after the instillation of smart meters on the homes surrounding my home while living in a small collective community in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California, in 2009. In addition, I was heavily dosed while working at an elementary school in San Jose, CA, for 10 years, from 2006 to 2016. I became so sensitized to RF, that I couldn't sleep at night, had headaches while around Rf emitters, either smart meters, or wifi routers, and also large electrical appliances that emitted dirty electricity, such as commercial freezers in the cafeteria in the elementary school where I worked. My neighbor in the apartment next door to me had such a strong wifi router, that when he turned it on every morning at 4 am, I instantly woke up to a sharp pain directly on the top of my head, since my bedroom shared a wall with my neighbors' apartment. When all of this new tech was being wheeled out and installed, no one cared or even warned the public that this could be a health issue or that there could be health complications from this type of technology. Why don't we look into possible health implications of a technology before we actually roll out a full scale use of the new tech? We need more studies and measurements of how this affects the health of the public, and especially our children. The teachers in my school would move sensitive children out of their rooms, away from wifi routers in order for the children to be able to concentrate on their tests. The children were experiencing brain fog and confusion which is not conducive to effective learning! Please read the attached study, done this year, showing health effects of RF radiation on the human body. I appreciate you reading and considering my comments. Sincerely, Lauren Brydle McCredden, McLean & Steinemann (2026) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S3050475926002745
When I heard about this opportunity, I had to make comment regarding the FCC’s response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ remand concerning its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. The Court said the FCC has to provide a good explanation for the fact that it determined that its guidelines adequately protect humans against harmful effects of RF radiation unrelated to cancer. The court required the FCC to address the impacts of RF radiation on children, the health implications of long-term exposure, the ubiquity of wireless devices and technological developments, impacts on the environment, and the adequacy of the FCC’s testing procedures for cell phones and other portable devices. The FCC needs to fully consider evidence and real-world experiences concerning the health and environmental impacts of wireless radiation, including non-cancer health effects, impacts on children, long-term and cumulative exposure, cancer, and impacts on wildlife and the environment. Here is just one study that the FCC should review when addressing the concerns about wireless radiation: Morgan, Kesari & Davis (2014): Why children absorb more microwave radiation than adults: The consequences – https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213879X14000583 (Reviewed evidence that children may absorb more wireless radiation than adults due to anatomical and physiological differences, raising questions about the adequacy of existing exposure standards.) The FCC is not a health agency and it doesn't have expertise in medicine, biology or public health. However, the agency continues to assert authority over RF exposure standards and is preparing to reach conclusions about whether its existing guidelines adequately protect the public. This is so important to me because we are surrounded by cell towers, EMF's, etc., with no choice in the matter, and I know that I feel completely different when I am around these frequencies, versus how I feel when I am out in the woods where there is no service. My girlfriend also started getting migraines as soon as we moved into an apartment near a cell tower. Also, I am concerned about the effects on children, who are more susceptible, and on nature and wildlife. I strongly believe that the FCC needs to recognize the critical role of federal health agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and to rely on appropriate health and biological expertise when addressing the issues identified by the court. I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court.
Male 51. Master's degree in Computer Science and Biology. Been a very successfully programmer for 25 year. I've suffered badly from EHS since I got very sick from mold 10 years ago. When I go places with too high EMR I get extremely brain fogged, confused and my guts tie up in a hard knot. (Too high can be sitting next to a person with an active mobile phone.) Denmark is one of the most EMR polluted countries in the world. I can only work remote, as all workplaces here are full of wifi and mobile phones. To live an ok life and be able to work from home I've had to: - Shield my apartment with special paint - Turn off all wireless connections at home - Find special low radiation computer equipment - Use a 18 years old mobile phone - Buy measuring devices There is zero help and compassion from the official "health" system. I'm being treated as a crazy person for being sick from a modern taboo illness. ps. I actually think EHS, mold sickness and MCS are related. I have all three and I get almost the same symptoms from being exposed to such different things as EMR, mycotoxins and strong smells. In short I believe that biofilm with mold is the key problem. These mold biofilms grow in my sinuses and gut. When triggered by eg EMR the mold makes mycotoxins to defend itself giving me these unproportionally strong symptoms.
My sister has had terrible headaches after a large cell tower went in not far from her home. She nearly had to move because of her pain. She had a special kind of paint applied to the walls and a special film over the windows and it is now manageable for her but this was very expensive, and most people likely can't afford this kind of mitigation at their own expense due to the damage created from this type of radiation.
