Research, evidence & monitoring

I want to write a coherent comment here. But the truth is - I am far too angry with the FCC to do it. And far to sick and tired of this whole situation and thoroughly annoyed by your requirement to cite a scientific study to be taken seriously. You mean - like the study that shows how 5g de-oxigenates the air in order to operate? And reactive molds and so-forth, then thrive in the environment. Leading to mold infections. Just one lousy effect - scientifically shown - yet study gets revoked in 2020? Why am I responsible for making the FCC actually read science? I've had to leave my city of choice for a few reasons, largely related to over-developed, unchecked wireless antennna constructions and poorly monitored smart meters, all contributed to ridiculous levels of dirty electricity. Plus the mulitple cellphones always on, and wireless routers, always creating high ambient radiation levels in space after space. I've luckily been able to work from home, but after tripping on a sidewalk, blocked up by some joker zigging all over the place, talking loudly on a cellphone - I ended up losing my job due to those injuries. But I was also half asleep that day - like every day - thanks to the insomnia that comes with having an environment of high EMF and RF forced into my home by celltowers, city cameras, and the neighbors' wireless. AND a the whole building's bank of smart meters under my bedroom - which I did stop using - and moved to the living room to sleep - due to waking with injuries. One should not be getting injured while simply sleeping. But shifting rooms did nothing to stop the discordant line noise from untested, rushed to market, cellular and electrical products. Or the injuries for that matter, which I will not bore you with in detail. I will say this one part again - not to mention the horrific electrical line noise that comes off the lines from the dirty electric, pumped due to the meters, etc. Which is also the case where I had to move to - apparently the grid is now so trashed - there is no where 'clean' to live. My patience is done. Your agency is paid off. My life has been irrevokably changed and lots of time is gone that I will never get back. But the FCC can get off their duffs now - and force the wide-scale environmental impact studies that should have been done in the first place. Not to mention - there are physical areas of my old city that have crazy high ambient radiation levels. These towers creating this issue - they need to go. The city cameras? All need their power setting checked. Banks of smart meters? Need to go. We deserve a safe car or space on public transit, buses and planes as well. I could keep going - but why are we called on to do your jobs ???? Well, I am available for hire - I could help you get your act together. Help you structure some studies. Because right now - it's just Shame on this agency.

I'm suffering from the emr-syndrome (electrohypersensitivity since 2020. When exposed to man-made electromagnetic fields, I experience the following problems: headaches, extreme fatigue, a sensation of being "electrified," cognitive difficulties, speech impairments—sometimes progressing to total aphasia—short-term memory issues, tremors and spasms, and tachycardia (at times so intense that it feels like a heart attack). I also suffer from joint and mobility issues, such as complete stiffness in my legs—to the point where I am almost unable to move—after a car journey or after remaining still in an environment where electromagnetic fields are present. Other symptoms include an urgent need to urinate every 15 minutes, immune system issues, sharp, highly painful stabbing sensations in various parts of my body, and muscle pain, feelings of nervousness, anxiety, and depression—with no apparent reason. When I am in a place free from electromagnetic waves, I feel perfectly well and all my symptoms disappear. I know a great number of persons who suffer from the same symptoms. I am in touch with patient organizations all over the world, and we can see that the phenomenon is the same everywhere. Even people who do not identify as having EHS (electromagnetic hypersensitivity) exhibit symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, feelings of nervousness, anxiety, and depression. We can also observe that the number of children suffering from ADHD has increased at an alarming rate—as has the number of cancer cases, particularly among children, a increasing number of persons suffering from fibromyalgia, Alzheimer etc. Despite more than 50 international appeals from the independent scientific and medical community, our governments continue to push for ever-increasing wireless technology—a trend that is affecting a growing number of people. It is urgent to take measures to protect the entire population, especially the most vulnerable: those suffering from electrohypersensitivity, children, pregnant women, and the ill. The number of people with electrohypersensitivity who have died in recent years is alarming. Our lives are truly at risk; the symptoms are a form of torture, and we face a significantly higher risk of serious illnesses, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular conditions, and immune-system disorders. There are almost no places left where we can still find refuge. The situation has become untenable for us.

My comment is in response to the Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding both as a patient and a healthcare professional, who has been concerned about this issue for many years, and has read the scientific literature. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/379738087_Investigation_of_the_Adverse_Health_Effects_of_Cell_Phone_Radiation_and_Propose_Solutions_to_Minimize_Them_A_Systematic_Review I developed hypersensitivity to electromagnetic radiation when I had another serious illness, and the effects of the wireless radiation made my overall symptoms worse. Those symptoms included brain fog, insomnia, anxiety and tinnitus. I removed all cordless phones from my home, and use wired phones and computers to help reduce the symptoms. My cell phone is turned off or on airplane mode most of the time to reduce my exposure. Although I can reduce exposure in my home, I need the government to reduce the exposure in the community. Our government is responsible for making sure the exposure to electromagnetic radiation is safe. Thus far, it has not been proven safe, and the exposures allowed in our country are magnitudes higher than that allowed in the EU. Please examine both the scientific evidence and people’s experiences regarding the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by the appropriate federal agencies with expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health. I urge HHS to identify gaps in current research, giving particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations. We need to establish appropriate federal research priorities and laws regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for considering these concerns. Kim Weeber, DPM, LAc

I am deeply concerned about all the radiation in our environment. I know many people who have been deeply affected. The FCC did not properly consider the scientific evidence on how this relates to human beings exposed to radiation on a constant basis. I am concerned about all the illnesses that are caused by the toxic environment. There are many side effects that have been associated that affect human behavior on all levels. This affects humans on a cellular level and I am concerned for my kids and grandchildren. The levels of Cancer, Alzheimer's, mental health, suicide and autism are never considered by the FCC. It is clear that these frequencies are dangerous to humans and the truth must be revealed.

Please consider people, children and animals who are sensitive to these radio frequencies. I am highly EMF sensitive, and we understand these frequencies are causing problems. Time to make some informed changes, respecting light of the recent research on children’s brains and these devices we use every day. Please protect us from the harms and the honeybees too, who don’t t like to live near Smart Meters!

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. There is published, peer-reviewed data which shows clear evidence of harm from RF radiation that the FCC should be sure to consider carefully and diligently. BioInitiative 2012 has amalgamated many studies, although there are far more available. https://bioinitiative.org In particular, these studies are valuable: https://bioinitiative.org/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/sec09_2012_Evidence_Effects_Neurology_behavior.pdf https://bioinitiative.org/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/sec08_2007_Evidence_%20Effects_%20Immune_System.pdf https://bioinitiative.org/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/sec07_2007_Evidence_for_Stress_Response.pdf I have personal experience in this area. Prolonged exposure to RF radiation can give me headache, brain fog, heart palpitations, sweating, and a feeling of internal heat. The microwave sources that cause these symptoms include cell towers, cell phones, wifi routers, and cordless phones.

The FCC is a captured agency whose revolving doors include commissioners that are former CEOs, lawyers and lobbyists of the telecom industry. The FCC has refused to update their safety standards since 1996, even though a $25 million dollar industry-funded research concluded that wireless radiation raised the risk of brain tumors. Those 1996 safety standards considered only the thermal effects of wireless radiation for brief exposure...no long term exposure to the exponentially stronger electromagnetic radiation of today's technologies. In August 2021, the FCC was ordered to update their safety standards in the federal case Environmental Health Trust,et. al. V FCC supported by over 11,000 scientific health and safety studies. Yet the wireless industry has proceeded as if this ruling never took place. Updated safety standards for human health are long overdue and must be integrated into systems to protect Americans NOW. The world's largest insurance companies have responded by excluding any liability coverage for claims "directly or indirectly arising out of, resulting from, or contributed to, by electromagnetic fields, electromagnetic radiation, electromagnetism, radio waves or noise." Lloyds of London and Swiss Reinsurance Company have put wireless radiation in the highest risk category, next to smoking and asbestos. 30+ countries around the world including the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, India, Australia, New Zealand and Brazil have banned Chinese-made 5G technology because of national security concerns. Wireless broadband is not cyber secure, it's unreliable in bad weather, it's a proven fire hazard, it's untested for EMF safety, it uses much more energy than fiber-optic and its giant equipment is aesthetically offensive. Only fiber-optic cable direct to homes and businesses delivers speed-of-light internet connection that will meet the needs required for next generation programs and services, with no threat to cyber security because it can't be hacked and it poses no health risk to humans or the environment. Californians have already paid for fiber optic to their homes in their phone bills over a 20+ year period. The IRREGULATORS vs. FCC lawsuit in 2020 exposed the largest accounting scandal in American history where telecom corporations fraudulently funnelled the money already paid by their customers for fiber-optic-to- the-premises, into wireless technology instead. Where is that TRILLION DOLLARS now? I implore you to update safety standards NOW, using third party testing, NOT funded by the wireless industry.

The WHO-commissioned systematic reviews on health effects of radiofrequency radiation provide no assurance of safety

I have a friend who is sensitive to wireless, she can feel it, and is unable to sleep near any RF like cell towers, wifi routers, cellphones, and more. I have seen this have a huge negative impact on her life and health, and she is unable to travel much and often has to drive distances to do normal activities. I am very concerned for the lack of science, studies and protocols to protect the public’s health, and that no real third party testing, science or disclosure about health has been done or shared for over 30 years. It’s hard to believe that we have been in the dark about safety, health and wireless exposure all this time, and that needs to change right now. There are people who are at risk most for health issues including children, and more research and transparency is needed now. Please make current testing, funding and appropriate scientific research required starting now, and public health conversations mandatory and mainstream. Corporations shouldn’t decide what’s safe for us, science and health should be the main focus, and the public process should be the priority. We need to closely examine non-ionizing wireless radiation and all RF. European and Scandinavian countries have done this- they prohibit cell towers near schools and homes for a reason. We need to follow their example. Put science and safety first before profit. Thank you.

I am writing to urge the FCC to fully consider evidence and real-world experiences concerning the health impacts of radiofrequency (RF) radiation on children and adults, as well as the impacts of long-term and cumulative exposure on wildlife and the environment. To date, the FCC has failed to review available studies and the experiences of actual people to make meaningful and appropriate impact assessments. This failure is a violation of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ remand concerning its decades-old 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 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. This issue matters to me personally because of the proliferation of cell towers, 5G installations, and wireless devices everywhere which we cannot get away from. I've experienced increased sensitivities to RF exposure which has caused vertigo, brain fog, insomnia and other negative health consequences for me and my family members. The FCC must give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court.

After suffering from a brain injury as flight crew in 2017 I began experiencing reactions around wireless technology. Since then it is impossible for me to leave my home without suffering from symptoms of migraine, vertigo, latent sleep disorder, and even at times seizures. Thankfully I can function on my own property without wi-fi as I was able to switch to wired internet. Sadly though, every year it seems the intensity of my neighbor’s wireless networks increases, causing me to suffer mild symptoms on a round the clock basis. If I am so affected by these frequencies, what might they be doing to the developing child’s brains or to our pets and wildlife? After deep diving into published research, it is clear that the literature shows wireless technologies are neuro-toxic to biology via neurotransmitter changes and Voltage Gated Calcium Channel dysfunction. With our current uptick in maladies such as cancers of all kinds, infertility, neuro-degeneration, Cardiovascular Disease, ASD, Hoshimoto’s Thyroiditis, Type 2 Diabetes, and more, we should be asking why this is happening exponentially as we increase the rate of our wireless radiation exposures. On top of the physiological effects, our population's mental health is also suffering. It appears from psychological studies this is largely due to the overload of communications and information. Our governing bodies have not performed their due diligence in investigating potential harms from wireless technology. Focusing on the thermal effects of non-ionizing radiation does not suffice in assuring the public you are required to protect that these technologies are safe. At the very minimum, while we continue to perform long-term studies on the non thermal effects of non-ionizing radiation exposures on humans and the environment, I propose that we: .Re-introduce wired phone lines and ethernet connections in homes, businesses, and public places. . Require all wireless technologies sold in the US to have an “offline mode” which completely disables all wireless functions. . That all wireless functions of all devices be required to be in their offline mode at our schools, parks, public buildings, places of gathering, hospitals, public transportation, and the like. . That cell phone towers, power stations, and other facilities or antenna that emit ELF, EMF, or RF be required to be positioned a mile or more away from buildings, public spaces, and areas of residence OR require informed consent from all potentially affected parties as to the exposures and their unknown possible effects. . That public warnings be instituted regarding the unknown or possible harms of using wireless devices. . That our governing bodies and manufacturers be held responsible for any adverse effects from their approved devices, products, or the infrastructure of wireless technologies.
