For 25 years, the NPS has been monitoring scientific research and publicising it amongst the general public. In doing so, it draws the public’s attention to the negative impact revealed by more than 50,000 studies (https://www.emf-portal.org/en). The undemocratic European advisory council (ICNIRP) appears, in many respects, to be a mouthpiece for the telecoms industry. (see EU Parliament, M Rivasi. https://committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/109055/pdf/#:~:text=ICNIRP%20has%20been%20critiqued%20in%20a%20recent,the%20composition%20of%20ICNIRP%20is%20very%20one%2Ds). The IARC, too, expressed its concerns about excessively high guidelines many years ago, as did numerous scientists in the 5G Appeal and the Bioinitiative. To date, no thorough independent risk assessment has taken place, whilst studies demonstrating adverse effects are piling up. The NPS considers a thorough review of the guidelines to be necessary – ceasing funding for the ICNIRP and sidelining this organisation in policy-making. Thirdly, the public must be informed that the use of devices that utilise transmitter radiation (smartphones, Wi-Fi, etc.) constitutes a high-risk technological application.
In March of 2020, with the deployment of 5G, I was suddenly and dramatically deprived of my ability to walk and talk. It happened in less than a minute. At the time I was living in Cambridge, MA. A year later my neurologist found that my peripheral nervous system tested normal. In their professional opinion, something was keeping my brain from communicating with my body. Less than a month later, I had to go to Vermont – for my father’s funeral. With just two night’s sleep I fully regained my ability to walk and talk. As soon as I returned to Cambridge, I lost that ability to walk and talk again - in less than an hour. Thinking that reducing population density by almost 10x might be the key to restoring my health, I moved to Canton, MA. No such health effects materialized. In Canton, as in Cambridge, my symptoms are unsustainably aggravated as soon as any Wi-Fi device comes within 6 feet of me. My PCP has diagnosed me with Epidemic Vertigo, Ataxia and Dyslalia – etiologies “unknown”. Mounting evidence suggest that close proximity to neighboring EV’s charging at night, and a solar power plant less than a mile away, represent an important part of the problem. IMPORTANT CLUE: In Dave Stetzer’s professional opinion [https://www.researchgate.net/profile/dave-stetzer], the process of converting Alternating Current to Direct Current and vice versa, is a SIGNIFICANT OFFENDER. Ref: High Frequency Transients [HFT] Recent research [JAMA neurology Nov 2025] found that one out of two American’s were struggling with neurological disabilities in 2021. This is not a small problem. The mounting costs to our healthcare system have been snowballing unsustainably. AND Poorly thought-out electrical engineering may in fact also be hurting our competitive edge in the global economy.
The 1996 radiofrequency limits are long outdated, and with more and more impact studies that have been done in the past three decades proving, not suggesting, biological harm, there needs to be much tighter regulation regarding the communications industry and the increasing “electro-smog” problem and the detrimental effects of short-term and long-term exposure to these fields. We used to be able to place the responsibility (though still unfairly) on the end consumer to know the risks of the technology they partake in, but no longer are people exposed to one or two electromagnetic fields at a time – we are now entering a time where people are often exposed to ten, twenty, even more fields at a given time, and often don't escape that exposure throughout the entire day. Given the breakneck speed of technological innovation and adoption in the past three decades, and those technologies should be held to a stricter standard in order to protect the health of the people who use them. Not everyone feels WiFi or cell tower radiofrequencies, though more and more do - and others, it has a destructive impact on their lives. We have friends who have kids with brain tumors from being near cell phone towers, and we have known so-called “antenna refugees,” hypersensitive to the frequency radiation. My partner, who is hypersensitive to EMF, had to move when there was a cell tower constructed nearby and saw significant health decline at that time, fourteen years ago. We bought a property in Washington State and we paid the utility company to remove the smart meter because she couldn't sleep. We had the neighbors reduce their WiFi signal because it gave us both headaches, and now AT&T wants to install a cell tower in our neighborhood which, if they do, will force us to sell our property and move again and find a new place free of signal which, in an increasingly electrified civilization and culture, is becoming more and more difficult to find. We need much stricter regulations regarding exposure limits for the general public, especially children, women and hypersensitive people. We need a broad action plan for keeping certain areas (“white-zones”) completely pure and clean of any EMF/electrosmog, where these people can go (without going into a fight-or-flight response or nervous system going haywire), and for minimizing exposure in residential areas. We need to stop blinding ourselves about the side effects of technology for the sake of the GDP and to reconsider the health of the people. We need change.
WE need honest studies on the effects of wireless radiation - cell phones, cell towers, smart meters. Many of us, myself included, feel our energy get low when we're around cell towers, on our cell phones for more than a few minutes, etc. These devices have not been in use long enough for us to know long term results, especially on children. Already there are many studies citing extreme dangers. Please keep cell towers limited and away from homes and schools and also away from wilderness areas and parks - those are areas where we can "rehab" from EMF exposures.
The data is clear. nnEMF harms human inner mitochondrial membrane communication. Human/animal lifespan is decreasing dramatically in the west where radio frequency technology is frequent. Robert O.Becker and Andrew Marino have proven this with numerous studies. Stop the expansion now. Use light to communicate as Alexander Bell proved in the 19th century.
My family has been negatively impacted by EMF radiation pollution! My ear burns if I can't use speaker on a cell phone call. My hand gets numb and cold and aches using a wireless mouse. Living close to a cell phone tower and 24 hour wifi has impacted my sleep making me less rested, achy and stiff. All these symptoms go away when camping or traveling away from wifi devices and towers! Another member of my family had to move away from San Francisco where he lived and worked during early implementation of 5G. His feet burned and muscles ached and felt like he had the flu when working at his business. Later he came to learn that 5G had been installed and testing. EMF meters are readily available to the public from a variety of reputable EMF and RF specialists. At times my meter read electromagnetic frequency levels at 10,000 to 100,000 times recommended levels in various areas of my town!!! FCC recommended levels, no less!! It is time for the FCC to start acting on its responsibility to the public!! Research and test over time how, why and how much EACH kind of EMF and RF and dirty electricity energies affect humans, children and adults, birds, mammals and insects!! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to postulate the damages done to bees or children by increased radiation! Just saying "increased radiation" makes a person think it should be tested! Common on and represent the people of our country, our children, YOUR children and grandchildren! Do honest, unbiased research with transparent testing so ALL will know the truth! Thank you!
In 2017, I was acutely injured by a Smart meter that was attached to my home without my consent. One day I was a perfectly normal health person, and the next I had all these strange and serious symptoms like headaches, dizziness, heart palpitations, inability to sleep, increased gut and joint pain, terrible tinnitus, and overwhelming anxiety for no reason at all. These symptoms subsided when I was able to opt-out and get the Smart meter removed from my home but never fully went away and I deal with most of these (tinnitus, dizziness, poor sleep, increased gut and joint pain, and poor sleep) every day and they increased even more when the 5G came to my neighborhood and surrounding cell towers during Covid. I have 185 cell towers and antennas within a 3 mile radius of my home and surrounded on all sides in my neighborhood by close range 4G/5G cell towers 1/3 mile away from my home. Even though I had my Smart meter removed, the Smart meters on all my neighbor's home on 1/4 acre lots are all affecting me in addition to the EMFs coming from the high voltage power lines running right through the center of my village. Even though I am hardwired through my cable line and ethernet cords in my house, I am being exposed to all the wireless radiation coming from my neighbor's WiFi routers. You see because of the ubiquitous nature of wireless radiation today, I am being forced to live in a toxic soup of microwave radiation 24/7 that is causing oxidative stress to every cell of my body and causing all kinds of health effects that destroy my quality of life, increase my risk of cancer, and reduce my life expectancy. These are all involuntary exposures with NO informed consent to me or my family members who are also being adversely affected. In addition, every time I go into public places like my schools, my church, retail stores, the mall, my local coffee shop, etc. I am being blasted by both public WiFi and cell phone radiation coming from all the people scrolling and searching their cell phones all around me. It's very hard for me to even stand in line at the store these days with people on either side of me and how powerful the newest cell phones are. I am urging you to please consider the ubiquitous nature of all of these sources of wireless radiation (cell towers, Smart meters, cell phones, WiFi routers, Smart TVs and appliances, watches and Smart devices, electric vehicles, etc.) and how they are exposing us to a toxic soup of microwave radiation 24/7 that we can't escape anymore. Please use my personal experience and the thousands more you will receive along with the 10,000 pages of scientific studies of evidence of biological harm to humans and the environment to update the FCC's RF radiation exposure limits. This is the biggest environmental toxin we are facing in America right now and contributes to all of the chronic diseases that are destroying our children and bankrupting our nation (obesity, diabetes, dementia and Alzheimers, Autism, Autoimmune disease, Cancer). This is a national security threat and must be halted until new, real safety controls and updated human and environmental exposure limits are enacted and put in place. Thank you for urgent attention and action on this long overdue threat to America.
I call for strong public health protections - just about none exist today! - on health issues associated with electromagnetic radiation from cell towers and cell phones. In 2021, in EHT v FCC, the court mandated the FCC must address the scientific evidence regarding wireless radiation impacts on humans and the environment. Since then, the FCC has done nothing! The last time there were health standards for wireless radiation was in the early 1990s – before many people even owned cell phones. The FCC would do well to look at Europe’s strong heath standards. Meanwhile there are hundreds of studies that point to terrible health effects for all species on Planet Earth: humans and every other species on this planet. Electromagnetic radiation has proven to be toxic to insects, for example, and a major contributor to the extreme drop off in insect populations around the world. There’s no longer an escape from wireless radiation – it’s everywhere on this planet. It’s long past time that we took action to protect humans and every other species.
In 2020 all of a sudden got sick, alot of head and stomach pain, could not sleep, tinnitus onset, recd. prescription for stomach pain. Pinellas County has over 1000 cell towers and antennas. AT 65 rec`d.Gov. health care that has done nothing for these conditions I still have. Since then have become my own DR- .researched many if not all remedies available, tried many of them to no avail. AND as I first thought and still think it is the EMF`s causing these problems, as science not yet captured by greed has also determined, EMF`s cause these symptoms , sickness.
It is critical to have strong regulations regarding exposure to wireless radiation. Individuals and families may share experiences involving potential adverse health effects they believe may be associated with RF/EMF exposure. It is also important to receive observations from healthcare professionals, researchers, and public health practitioners that may help identify patterns warranting further study. Information about whether scientific, technical, or regulatory changes could improve the assessment, disclosure, or regulation of wireless radiation exposure. We need to assess Information about methods for measuring individual and population-level exposure, potential improvements for assessing real-world exposure, information that should be disclosed to the public, and existing or potential surveillance systems. There needs to be data about why RF exposure assessment or risk evaluation should differ for populations including children, pregnant women, older adults, people with implanted medical devices, workers with elevated occupational exposure, and people with preexisting medical conditions. We need to look at evidence concerning potential adverse health effects associated with RF radiation exposure, including exposure below current federal limits. We also need there to be information about cumulative exposure patterns associated with existing and emerging wireless technologies and potential environmental effects. Research priorities should be decided by researchers and the public to identify the highest priority gaps in RF/EMF and public health research and recommend ways federal health agencies can better coordinate research, including through the Food and Drug Administration, National Institutes of Health, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
