Wildlife & environment

I am extremely sensitive to Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and wireless radiation. I can't do Facetime on an my I-Phone, because it feels like my face is burning. I can't talk to someone on the I-Phone for very long, because I can feel the radiation. It is very uncomfortable, even when the phone is 3 feet away. I don't even have one of the newer, bigger I-Phones, because I fear it might be stronger. My husband and I pull out the router before bed every night so that we are not bathing in WiFi. We were not able to get solar for our house, because of the EMFs/energy they emit. A couple of years ago, our town of Great Barrington, MA was threatened by the telecom companies. They wanted to put 5G small cell towers into our town (every 500 ft or something like that), even in front of schools where children are the most vulnerable. Please help us (all of us) prevent anything like that ever happening. And please do your due diligence to make sure these electromagnetic frequencies are actually safe for people and animals, bees, etc. Thank you for listening! Lori Deutsch

Is the FCC actually protecting public health? In a 2021 the U.S. court of appeals ruled that the FCC's decision was arbitrary and capricious, finding it failed to show proper review in regards to numerous issues related to public health and the environment. The court issued a mandate that the FCC show proper examination of evidence on its record related to non-cancer health effects (such as impacts to reproduction, brain development and the immune system), long-term exposure, children’s vulnerability, and environmental impacts. If it is indeed true that this is a complex issue and that the FCC needs more time, then why hasn't the FCC stopped the roll out of wireless technology given that it is clear that it is harmful to our biology and mental health? I am citing a study, one of thousands, to remind the FCC that you are an organization that was created to protect human health, and to regulate, not stand by while humans remain vulnerable and negatively affected by the proliferation of wireless technology that invades my personal, professional and social existence.

We are only on this earth for a short time, and given the population on the planet, it is imperative that we work together to mitigate the negative causes of disease, both mentally and physically. I am hypersensitive to electromagnetic radiation because of how much emr is present in our environment. The human exposure guidelines that were created long ago are outdated. It is scientifically evident that wireless technology has adverse health effects, and those of us whose health is teetering because there is literally no place to go to get away from wireless radiation, it is exponentially detrimental, as it continues to increase on our planet. How can it be that the FCC has not responded to the courts ruling to investigate and take into account hundreds if not thousands of studies proving harm. My life has been altered because I cannot go to certain establishments, drive on certain roads, or go to certain outdoor areas because of 5G towers. When will the health and well being of humans take precidence over profits? Our communication needs can be met with wired technology for the most part, and cellular towers for other things. Wifi is dangerous, 5G is dangerous. I have experienced being in a stupor when I was unknowingly parked too close to a 5G tower.

Hello, my name is Gloria Frank and I am a "Safe Technology Educator". I became an educator in 2014, however in March of 2012 my health and my life was destroyed when a smart meter was installed on my home. I was deathly ill for a full year in my home, but thankfully my local PUC voted that we could re-install the analog meter. I learned from a building biologist how to turn my home into a WIRED peaceful home, from a wireless nightmare! You have no right to harm our world, you have no right to harm and kill people, new born babies, animals, trees.... and the list goes on and on. Shame on you for not caring about the harm you have created on all of planet Earth, and the millions and billions of people who are suffering and dying. As a Safe Technology Educator, I help people by teaching them how to go about the removal of their harmful smart meter, and how to remove all wireless devices in their homes.....and my purpose on this Earth is to help people, not harm people as you have been doing now since 2012

The world has changed dramatically since the FCC adopted its human exposure guidelines in 1996, based on science from the 1980s. There are more than 1,000 scientific studies conducted by independent researchers from around the world concerning the biological effects of Radiofrequency (RF radiation).

It's inconceivable and outrageous that the FCC claims to be protecting public health while it ignores the large and growing body of science showing biological harm even at non-thermal levels. A review and change to the policy is indeed warranted. Please note that EMFs do have an effect on humans, especially children, bees etc. It's time to revise the standards towards much safer shields and less radiation. Thank you.

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 of cell tower proximity to my home, as well as a smart meter that is located near my home's bedrooms. My wife has had numerous health issues the past 7 years and I am concerned she may be sensitive to RF radiation.

I have been struggling with EHS symptoms since 2016. It came on after a bout with MCS, mutltiple chemical l sensitivity. I cannot write a long comment, because I cannot stay on the computer for long. I cannot hold long phone conversations, nor watch TV or movies. It hindered me making a living because everything involves computer work and I am a writer/therapist. I also cannot stay in a Wi-Fi environment for a long time. This limits my social, employment and general interactions with just about everything.

Hi, our world has changed dramatically since 1996 when the FCC adopted it's guidelines exposures based on the science based from the 1980's. We have computers, ipads, tablets, flock cameras, cell towers all over our cities and by schools and hospitals(which is the absolute worst for their brains and people giving birth and having surgeries). Digital ID and the airports have so much EMF exposure. Our bodies and DNA, atoms, cells were not meant to deal with all this input and it effects the Function of the Brain of every human and life form on this beautiful planet. If we destroy the atoms and cells and cause them to mutate and loose their function what good is all the technology. Not to mention the DATA Centers going up all over and that EMF output. People are getting sick all over. Memphis, TN is just one example. GA is another. Our brain's can not take the HZ that is being put out and people are having mental, physical and some life threatening occurrences in their lives. Some can not function at their jobs or within their family units. In June, 2019 Science Direct pages 76 to 83 Volume 127 Medical Hypothesis by Elsevier. In this writing the question posed is : Are rises in Electro-Magnetic Field in the human environment, interacting with multiple environmental pollutions, the tipping point for increases in neurological deaths in the Western World? There are so many pollutants in our environment Please address and make new healthy guidelines to bring Accountability to all these companies who want MONEY and Control over humanity. Thank you for your time.

Hello, I just want to state that there is no doubt about the adverse effects of wireless radiation. I know the FCC has guidelines regarding this but they are 30 years old and so much has changed since then. We now have 5G and our society is full of wireless devices, it's really unavoidable at this point. I used to have my router and all my network equipment in my bedroom and when I did I had terrible insomnia. Once I moved it to another room my sleep greatly improved. This is just 1 example. There are so many people that I've talked to that have various issues from wireless radiation and there are now thousands of studies verifying their negative effects. Here is just one of them that shows cell phone exposure reduces HRV (heart rate variability) in people which is a huge stress on the nervous system and the body as a whole which is a big deal. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32249199/ There are so many studies showing that the radiation causes tumors, DNA damage, neurological issues, fertility issues, negative effects on wildlife etc. This is a serious matter and I appreciate your attention to this. Thank you.
