ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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. Here is just one study I believe the FCC should review when addressing the concerns about wireless radiation: BioInitiative Report (2012, with Subsequent Research Updates): Updated Research Summaries https://bioinitiative.org/updated-research-summaries/ – Collection of scientific research concerning neurological effects, oxidative stress, DNA damage, genetic effects, and electromagnetic sensitivity. Individual summaries have different update dates, including 2022. The 1996 limits rest on outdated thermal assumptions and ignore more than 500 studies showing non-thermal biological effects—oxidative stress, DNA damage, neurological harm, reproductive impacts, and effects on children and wildlife—at levels far below those limits. No adequate safety testing exists for modern pulsed, cumulative, or 5G exposures. Children, long-term residents, pets, and the environment remain unprotected. 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: I have experienced headaches, insomnia, tinnitus, heart rhythm changes, and various other effects from nearby cell towers, or when near cell towers and wireless sources. These symptoms are not isolated; they are consistent with non-thermal biological effects documented in the scientific literature and affect my daily health and well-being. As a certified wildlife rehabilitator, I have also seen and witnessed animals and birds of various types negatively harmed by proximity to these facilities. As a health counselor, I have seen and tried to help people with heart rhythm problems and irregularity, anxiety, stress, insomnia, tinnitus, head and body pain, headaches, migraines, and other common effects associated with these exposures. I do not consent to, and expressly withhold my consent for, any RF radiation, electromagnetic emissions, or wireless frequencies from cell towers, Wi-Fi routers, cell phones, or other wireless telecommunications facilities being directed at or towards me, my person, my family, my home, or my state and country. 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.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Im going to be straight, direct & to the point! RF wireless radiation exposure causes cancer & multiple other long term health problems for millions & billions of people in the US Nationwide including Overseas.One of the biggest problems & issues with RF wireless radiation exposure is that it is invisible & most people are still not aware of it directly effecting their health on a daily & regular basis.I personally have to limit my screentime, Wi-Fi usage & activity everyday because if I have my Wi-Fi on for extended periods of time? I get migraine headaches & have a lot of difficulty concentrating & focusing on daily activities including sleeping @ night.So when I am not using my cellphone during the day & sleeping @ night,I always & have to turn off my Wi-Fi! Their are one too many 5G CellTowers Infrastructure being built without notifying local citizens first? Including 5000+AI Datacenters being built without notifying local citizens first? The current rollout & construction of thousands of 5G CellTowers Infrastructure & AI Datacenters implemented by the Military Industrial Complex public-private business partnership with all of the Big Tech Oligarchs in Silicon Valley,California, Multiple Telecom Businesses & The Federal Government is a very big health problem & issue that needs to be addressed & confronted immediately! 5G CellTowers Infrastructure & AI Datacenters both directly emit invisible RF wireless radiation exposure to all people in The US including Overseas & Their both part & directly connected to the completely immoral,unethical, illegal & unconstitutional digital surveillance systems & grids without permissions by previous executive orders.First we need to 1.) Completely & Permanently Turn Off All Electricity & Other Power Sources to All 5G CellTowers Infrastructure & AI DataCenters within The US including Overseas! Especially the secretly hidden AI DataCenter directly built underneath Donald Trump's Ballroom! Second 2.) Completely & Permanently Tear Down! Rip Apart! & Destroy All 5G CellTowers Infrastructure & AI DataCenters within The US including Overseas! Third 3.) Immediately go back to implementing a much safer & much healthier 4G CellTowers Infrastructure that absolutely does not directly emit invisible RF wireless radiation exposure to all people within The US including Overseas! Fourth 4.) We also need to go back to installing & securing copper wire inside of our local telephone ground lines including television,cable & computer systems because it is a lot more safer & more secure than a wireless surveillance digital control grid! Going back to installing & securing copper wire inside of our local telephone ground lines including television,cable & computer systems would be great for creating & building millions of high paying manufacturing & cable installation jobs during this current economic recession! Fifth 5.) All of us definitely need to be less reliant & dependent on Big Tech & go back to using Analog Systems of Daily Communication with other people on a daily & regular basis!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My family and I were all injured by a 5G frequency cell tower installed in Fall 2021, we had multiple debilitating health conditions until we discovered the root of the problem. We removed ourselves from the situation, and we're all left with EMR-S, (electromagnetic radiation sensitivity syndrome), which has changed our lives. We can no longer work, socialize, do fun things we used to, eat out, be near lots of people, family members shun us and don't believe us, people don't take us seriously and much more. There should be in place accommodations for our disability, so we don't have to fight continuous uphill battles with systems just so we can live our lives in safety and comfort like we used to, because we're surrounded by cell towers, 5G minis, routers, phones, smart meters, etc. I should be able to opt out of my smart electric and gas meters, but the utility companies are ready to fight and ridicule, not help or assist with this disability they dismiss. My life is not the same. It should be the government's job to protect us, and give us injured sensitives rights so we can live normal lives again, especially when it's both government and private entities making money off the cell service, however at peoples' health costs. Me, my wife, and both my kids and mother in law, will never be the same because we can't do the same things we used to in life. We would like to be heard. We want protection and support. Stop putting up cell towers everywhere, and start accommodating to those who have been injured.

There are many studies showing harm to people, plants and wildlife. You can see the trees reacting to towers within their vicinity. 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 I have been getting horrible migraines for years until I moved out into the desert where I am completely EMF FREE on my property. My laptop is hardwired into my modem. I have NO S.M.A.R.T. phone, NO S.M.A.R.T. devices or appliances of any kind... NO wireless ANYTHING, and finally my migraines have stopped. PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND STOP THIS ONSLAUGHT THAT IS HARMING AND ENDANGERING OUR CHILDREN AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE POPULATION! (not to mention the poor animals, reptiles, insects, birds and bees!!!) 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.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been affected my smart meters, close proximity of cell towers, and Wi-Fi. Gas company moved a meter on the back side of my house to the front side less than 1 /12 feet from the head of my bed. They installed a smart meter (I had NO SAY in this). I started waking up for no reason and had difficulty getting back to sleep; unexplained nose bleeds; and a digestive condition started causing me problems at night when it normally calms down! I consulted with an EMF expert, and she immediately found the issue. I have spent $100s (including expert's fee) on blocking material, etc. I contacted engineer at Cascade Natural Gas, and he gave me the typical smart meter "no problem" song and dance. Luckily, I don't run Wi-Fi in my house since I had all connections hard wired. Wi-Fi in hotels and other lodging has cause same issues (primarily sleep). When I am staying in motels, etc. I turn off or unplug (if possible) wi-fi routers etc. I have purchased various personal shielding (again several $100s) that I use when sleeping in motel, etc. I have friends that are more sensitive than I am!! I implore the FCC to take action on these issues! Affects are REAL!

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: My family tries to be mindful of our exposure and it is becoming increasingly more difficult to avoid homes, schools, and businesses that are close to cell towers and other wireless sources. Our children end up spending all school day in buildings placed next door to towers, constantly exposed to radiation and there seems to be little regard for the potential impact of long-term exposure. Their school experience is on top of cell phones they may use and the radiation we are all exposed to working from laptops and being connected to the internet all day at work and home. Humans were not designed to withstand these levels of exposure, and research shows that there are real health implications here, especially for still-developing children. We have experienced sensitivity to RF first hand, and worry about the silent toll this is taking on our bodies. 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.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have great concern about the way wireless technology has been implemented in our country. We have plowed ahead with 3G, 4G, 5G, without ever wondering what the effects of that wireless radiation will have on animals, human beings, our natural environment, etc. Are there any safety studies? Yes, but does the FCC look at them? Are they even qualified to assess them? We are instead focused on faster, more efficient, more money, more power. The safety guidelines are out of date and inadequate. I have neurological and physical issues that cannot be traced to any known cause. It acts like an autoimmune disease but testing has indicated that I have no autoimmune activity in my body. My friend nearby cannot go anywhere near a cell tower without getting sick, and she is trapped in her home and even the neighboring wifi routers cause her trouble. The FCC has no expertise in gauging the medical effects of this radiation. They are not a medical agency. We need more studies and we need someone to listen to those who suspect ill effects from RF exposure. The federal health agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, need to be part of the decision on how and when to approve such technologies, and the FCC needs to rely on appropriate health and biological expertise when addressing the issues identified by the court. Thank you.

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.

I am very concerned about wireless radiation, especially from my cell phone and wireless ear buds. I believe that some cognitive issues are related to that. Manufacturers need to test and verify and take responsibility
