Wi-Fi, meters & wireless devices

I know someone who suffers from exposure for almost 20 years. It is time that this be changed now. She can't sleep anywhere there is wifi, so it makes it hard or impossible for her to travel.

I have both MCAS and EDS (both medically diagnosed by doctors) and non ionizing radiation/wifi/Bluetooth trigger horrendous neurological, vestibular, nerve, dysautonomua symptoms. I have become disabled as a result. There are literally zero studies showing safety and again literally thousands of scientific studies showing human harm and detailing that harm. Radiation exposure limits in the US are TEN TIMES that of Italy. What ever happened to “First Do No Harm”? I could go on but I don’t know how many characters I have left. All I can say is that irradiating people without any scientific or medical studies is crazy.

Children's schools should not be located near mobile phone towers or TV towers or electrical transmission power lines. And the powerful Wi-Fi routers often used in schools should not be near any children's desks. California officially issued guidelines advising of mobile phone dangers, warning of increased risk of brain cancer and other health problems, and that children’s developing brains could be at greater risk. The biggest source of RF exposure for most people is using a mobile phone next to the head. You can reduce RF exposure a lot by using the phone's speaker and holding the phone farther away from your head, or using wired headphones say neuro-oncologists & public heath experts. The city council in Berkeley California passed a law that requires retailers to tell consumers how far away their phone should be held. The European Union recommends wired Internet rather than wireless in schools. France also banned WiFi routers in nursery and daycare centers, and restricted elementary school WiFi to only when in use for education. The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) states in an open letter to school superintendents, “There is a consistent, emerging science that shows people, especially children who are more vulnerable due to developing brains and thinner skulls, are being affected by the increasing exposure to wireless radiation.” In 2021 a New Hampshire report outlined health risks of cell phone towers in residential neighborhoods. Scientific American reported a study of mobile phone exposure and cancer in rats: www.scientificamerican.com/article/major-cell-phone-radiation-study-reignites-cancer-questions/ According to Dr. Joel Moskowitz (UC/Berkeley), "The study's results reinforce the need for more stringent regulation of radiofrequency radiation and better disclosure of the health risks associated with wireless technologies." Dr. Martha Herbert, a Harvard Pediatrician, wrote in this letter to Montgomery County Schools "there are thousands of papers...that document adverse health and neurological impacts of EMF/RFR"..."Radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation from wifi and cell towers can exert a disorganizing effect on the ability to learn and remember, and can also be destabilizing to immune and metabolic function"..."Powerful industrial entities have a vested interest in leading the public to believe that EMF/RFR, which we cannot see, taste or touch, is harmless, but this is not true". The American Academy of Pediatrics in 2013 requested a review of EMF radiation emissions from technology devices, citing impact on children. Some schools have reduced WiFi exposure of children: https://ehtrust.org/tag/wifi-in-schools/ https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/school-wifi-networks-could-put-12602188 In 2011 the World Health Organization classified cell phones (and other wireless devices) as a possible carcinogen due to RF emissions. In 2013 Dr. Anthony Miller from University of Toronto School of Public Health recommended that based on new research, radio frequency (RF) exposure should be reclassified as a probable carcinogen. Regarding power lines: Researchers have found health effects, including a doubling of leukemia rates associated with living in AC magnetic field strengths greater than 4.0 mG. www.emfs.info/health/leukaemia/ www.powerwatch.org.uk/elf/overview.asp www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10944614 www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20877339 www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11055621 The Swedish National Energy Department issued an advisory warning that schools, playgrounds, and day-care centers should not be sited near power lines, and that children should not be subjected for long periods every day to AC magnetic fields over 3.0 mG.

Public Comment to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
ET Docket No. 13-84: Reassessment of RF Exposure Limits I urge the FCC to open a new proceeding to reassess its radio frequency (RF) exposure limits and work directly with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to ensure that those limits reflect current scientific evidence, including potential biological effects beyond tissue heating. Wireless infrastructure has expanded dramatically, with antennas and cell towers appearing on schools, apartment buildings, and near people's homes. Wi-Fi, smart meters, and wireless devices are now widespread, often with limited public discussion about potential health and environmental impacts or the availability of alternatives. I have personally experienced headaches, nausea, feeling unwell, neck and chest tightness, ringing in my ears, and a hot, tingling sensation in my hand when holding a cell phone. I have noticed differences in how I feel under certain wireless conditions, including when using Wi-Fi compared with a wired Ethernet connection. I recognize these experiences do not establish causation, but I believe they warrant serious consideration and further independent research. The FCC should not rely solely on protection against excessive tissue heating without transparently evaluating the broader scientific evidence concerning possible biological effects. I ask the Commission to: 1. Open a new proceeding to review and update its RF exposure limits. 2. Work with HHS and independent researchers to evaluate the latest evidence on potential biological effects, including effects not explained by heating. 3. Improve public access to exposure measurements, the scientific basis for safety standards, and any remaining uncertainties. 4. Consider practical alternatives, including wired technologies, and the environmental and community impacts of expanding wireless infrastructure. 5. Provide meaningful opportunities for public participation before finalizing revised standards. I am also concerned about who benefits financially from the rapid expansion of wireless infrastructure and whether commercial interests are receiving greater consideration than public health, environmental protection, and informed public choice. I urge the FCC to take concrete action, commission a transparent review, and work with HHS to ensure that its standards are informed by the full body of credible scientific evidence. The public deserves transparency, accountability, and a meaningful voice in decisions that affect our homes and communities. Thank you for considering my comments.

I want these questions answered properly. Greater Harm to Children EMF exposure is more consequential in children than adults for four major reasons. 1. Children have higher surface-to-volume ratios; thus, their tissues are much more exposed to EMFs. This may be particularly important in the head where thinner skulls mean brain exposures are much higher. 2. Children have very high densities of stem cells which are particularly sensitive to EMFs. 3. The developing brain appears to be especially sensitive to EMFs. 4. Young tissues have much greater extracellular water content than do older tissues. This leads to much deeper penetration of effects. For these reasons, Wi-Fi and cell phone tower radiation in schools are both of special concern.

Hello from Finland! I'm writing about my own experience of reacting to wireless devices and networks. When 4G was launched in Finland, "a net stick" was installed on my laptop, through which I could access the internet. At the same time, I bought an iPhone. My face was always red and hot after using Internet via laptop and after a few months my left hand and my right hand index finger started to hurt and tingle after using the iPhone as well. Then, the operator offered a tablett that has internet connection and would also work as a server for my laptop. That tablett screen was so electrical, that it stack in my fingers almost like there was some kind of glue on it. I discussed many times with the operator about this strange fenomen, but nobody knew, what was the problem. Well, after receiving my EMF meter, the picture got crystal clear! I haven't used that tablett since. At that time I went on business trips to different cities in Finland and at the same time there could be up to 5 mobile phones in the car, several of which were in use at the same time. On such trips, I suffered from really severe fatigue, nausea and headaches, and the confused feeling could continue even days after such a trip. I connected the nausea to the mobile phone being on, as I once turned on the phone in the car and immediately a wave of nausea attacked me. The difference between the real car sickness and EMF sickness is clear; car sickness makes you vomit, EMF sickness gets better, once you exit the vehicle and the metal box filled with EMFR and you don't vomit. The feeling however starts in the back of your scull for both conditions. Later on, I even unknowingly tested the effect of the phone and noticed that, for example the arrival of a text message while driving causes a rapid, stabbing headache, and the ringing of the phone causes nausea and a dizzy sensation in the head even before the phone makes a sound. One time, my friend had, according to my wish, switched off mobile data, but she got a normal call during the drive and she just turned the voice down, but let the phone ring for a long time, because she didn't understand, that I really suffer because of it. I was about to throw up and faint for the rest of the journey. I had to roll the window down to keep us on the road. When we got home, she noticed, that the phone had rang almost 15 minutes in a row. I was absolutely wrecked for two days afterwards. After that episode, phones are allowed in my car only in aeroplane mode. I can feel, when I am driving in the middle of two cell towers, because I get nausea and my eyes start to wander on the road ahead. Usually I also feel sudden weakness in my shoulders and arms and I need to open the window. Also some cold sweat may appear. That is scary. GPS is a BIG "NO NO" for me. I get really dizzy if somebody wants to check our location while driving. In public spaces with Wifi or WLAN, I feel a strange nervousness in my body and I find it difficult to concentrate on what I read in the library, for example. I feel almost like before a migraine, when at least I have the feeling that my head does not "belong to the body", but is somehow separate. It's difficult to explain. In places like this, even in schools where I have worked as a substitute, it is difficult to find words and I feel awkward, not relaxed. At home, we don't have wireless networks and I've been able to reduce exposure. When I sleep, my phone is in another room and mobile data turned off. I've tried to talk to my children about the disadvantages of mobile phones and instructed them to keep their phone's mobile data turned off if they have it in their pockets. My children didn't get their phones until they were 11 and 12 years old, but both of them are already hooked on their phones after 3-4 years, and this is very worrying. I have manually chosen 4G in my phone and I get symptoms if only 5G phones are in the same room with me. Sometimes after such a day I get fatigue and even heart palpitations. I'm aftaid, that 6G will finally break my health. Besides my EMF sensitivity I have been absolutely healthy all my life and have no medication. I have, however experienced problems with mold in my work place some 20 years ago and I have understood, that many people sensitive for EMF have similar background. I'm 53 years old. Please, make this idiotic "progress" just STOP!!! You are killing people with your so called "safety limits" , that are from the last century and have nothing to do with safety of living creatures! People in Finland and all around the world are frying because of your lousy "science". EMF harms human body in many ways, the heating effect is not the only one. This should be clear by now!!! Mr. Kennedy, thank you for all your efforts in this and many other vital matters in this crazy world we're living in!

October 6, 2026 Hello: We reside in Fort Lauderdale Florida. This is in regard to my own Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome. Because I was unable to sleep for six months, we decided to disconnect the wifi at night. When we found that helpful we changed to ATT so now our home is completely hard wired. We had Florida Power and Light remove our Smart Meter. I purchased 2 gallons of EMF shielding paint for the bedroom, as we pick up the neighbor signals. I bought faraday cloth for the sliding glass door. I sewed a faraday cloth hoodie apron for when we travel and stay in hotels. Three years ago I discovered I also experience a strong vertigo when we shop Office Depot. It was also happening at church on Sundays so we had to change churches. The vertigo starts about 10 to 15 minutes of entering the building and takes just as long to stop when we depart. That is my story. It is a good thing I am retired because it would not be possible to work in a building when the vertigo is as strong as it has been.

I am Daniel Vasku, a Dutch citizen, trained in media and image technology, with a lifelong love for technology. After moving to New Zealand I helped organise festivals and events, doing everything from my smartphone, with me 24-7. While setting up wireless networks and video systems for these festivals, I built a mesh network at a rural venue out of consumer Linksys routers. One day, after hours configuring a stack of four active routers, I felt a strange spastic tingling in my right arm, the one nearest the stack. Over the following summer I developed persistent nose congestion, brain fog, painful joints and fatigue. I assumed it was hay fever, but it made no sense that the symptoms lasted for months while we travelled to completely different places. The turning point came in Golden Bay NZ, at the home of a friend who had deliberately restricted his Wi-Fi. While he explained this, I realised that every time I switched my phone on, I felt a brief stabbing pain in my brain. Minutes later the sting returned, and my girlfriend had just powered her phone on. That confirmation made me take the possibility seriously. For the next two or three years I stayed skeptical, but the pattern held: whenever my phone and Wi-Fi were off and I avoided close exposure, I felt much better. In a shared home where Wi-Fi was kept off except when needed, I repeatedly told housemates it was on when they were sure it wasn't, and I was always right. I learned to trust the specific head pressure that came with wireless signals. A few years ago I visited family in Europe, and my condition worsened dramatically: relentless headaches, growing joint pain, visible decline. Eventually I could no longer function, and a friend urged me back to New Zealand. In a small, reception-free valley in Auckland I recovered almost immediately. So I bought my first meter, a Cornet. In a room where everything was powered down, it revealed a pulsing signal coming from my Apple Pencil, whose Bluetooth pulses around the clock. After boxing it up outside the room, I slept that night, for the first time in ages, without the head pressure that so often became a full migraine. With renewed energy I started a sauerkraut business at a Sunday market. It went well, but every market day was followed by a migraine, and recovery grew from one day to two, three, then a full week of pain. When the owner of a new venue told me a cell tower was going on the roof with strong indoor repeaters, I realised I had to quit. When savings ran out, I moved to a rural community in the Coromandel. There, with almost no cell reception, my health picked up tremendously. But my sensitivity kept increasing. One or two hours in town cost me severe headaches the next day. I tried shielding: first a silver-coated veil, which helped, then a full radiation suit from China made of stainless steel and cotton, which let me shop without next-day migraines, at the cost of looking odd, overheating badly in sunlight, and sensitivity to AC electric fields. Even that was not enough. People using a phone in a neighbouring room triggered headaches before I even saw the device, and I was always right. I began carrying my meter constantly as an alarm system, because by the time I felt pain it was already too late. About five years ago my condition worsened again despite shielding. My meter showed levels higher than before, and the timing coincided with the switch-on of 5G in the town. I found a new community in Golden Bay in the South Island, verified it with more sensitive equipment like the Safe & Sound ProII, which registers the far lower levels at which I now react, and moved there. Today I can function outdoors with a clear head and no pain. But I can visit town only briefly once a week, still paying one or two days of migraine even with the suit, and I live in near-total social isolation, a hard adjustment for a social person. And with all pervasive wireless radiation, it's difficult to access healthcare. I am de facto an EMF refugee. An example: a friend came for tea and swore he had left his phone in the car. Within minutes I became nauseous and started stuttering. My meter found active AirPods in his pocket emitting about 16,000 microwatts per square metre. In ten minutes, from two metres away, they cost me my train of thought. I am desperately looking for an EMF sanctuary where I can function as a human being among people who keep wireless off. In the meantime I have helped many others with similar symptoms, using calibrated meters to find and eliminate sources, and it is clear that this problem is growing. I am deeply troubled by what this means for children, and for humans, animals, plants and insects. We are gambling with the future of humanity in what may be the most irresponsible open-air experiment ever undertaken. The more people learn about Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome, the more will recognise their own unexplained suffering in it.

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: McCredden, McLean, and Steinenmann (2026): Wireless sensitivities and comorbidities: A prevalence study of co-morbidities in Canada, Australia, and the United States Although this study does not establish causation, I believe the information gathered raises enough red flags to warrant further investigation of both the thermal and non-thermal effects of electromagnetic fields. These studies are crucial for studying its impact on both the human population 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. I have always been sensitive to electromagnetic frequencies. I first noticed it as a child when we would drive under high power electrical wires. I would feel “pressure” or pain in my head and chest. Decades later, as cell towers started to be constructed, I noticed increased intensity and headaches when within a certain range of cell towers. In 2012, while vacationing at a resort that was in close proximity to a cell tower, I ended up in the emergency room with chest pain. They found trace levels of troponin in my blood and a cardiac catheritization was performed. I was 44 years old and otherwise healthy. Around the same time, I started to have symptoms when near Wi-Fi and security systems, while holding a cell phone next to my head, when wearing wireless headphones, and when using Bluetooth in my car. Now, with 5G expansion, satellite technology, and increased security systems, my symptoms have increased tremendously and are often unbearable. There is frequent ringing in my ears, headaches, chest pressure, shortness of breath, and extreme fatigue. I find that it is especially bad on overcast days. 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. People should always come before profits!

My life was shattered by the introduction of smart meters. My exposure to smart meters led to cardiac disease, including an episode where my heart flat-lined. I ran for my life, away from wireless sources: smart meters, cell towers and now 5G, 5GE , etc. There is nowhere left to run, as 5GE satellites have been lowered to 85 miles above human life, causing severe medical challenges for me and countless millions. All exposure to wireless poses serious health challenges to all living beings, even if an individual OR THEIR HEALTHCARE PROVEDERS are unaware of the origins of their medical challenges. HHS and the FCC are legally obligated to protect US citizens and their health/toxic exposures. HHS and the FCC must act now to stop harming us and provide protected measures for human, animal and plant life.
