Wildlife & environment

The number of cell towers that have gone up in Honolulu is concerning given their proximity to homes and schools. Research shows that EMF can have harmful effects on people, plants and animals. In order to be cautious there should be a reduction of cell towers compared with how many there are now. Studies showing damage related to EMF should be heeded out of a cautious approach.

I strongly feel the RF and Emf signals need to be reevaluated for safety of our children and impacts on wildlife and risks associated with the exposure!

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.

Wireless radiation needs to be reduced and studied for its effects on people and the environment, including animals. It is obvious to me that we have allowed companies to expose all of us to hazards without our knowledge and consent. This runaway train needs to be braked now.

I strongly urge the Commission to, under the weight of the scientific evidence, find that the current RF exposure limits are insufficient to protect public health and the environment. They should be lowered to reflect the science previously disregarded by the Commission. Dated: 9.22.2026 Sincerely, Jodi Rodar [

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 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 nor is it an expert in medicine, but it 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 I truly thought I was going to die young as any and all I tried did not work. In fact, the 15 different problems I had just kept getting worse, until I read and read and research, and talked to others until it all pointed to EMF toxicity. Once I took care to "distance and avoid" problems disappeared. No one talks about the dangers of EMF; no one informs the customer buying wireless gadgets it could be harmful. That's why I had to suffer for years until I did my own research and found a way to help myself. Even today, if I'm out in a heavy EMF area or if in a room full of people cell phones, I feel terrible. This is a real problem! I bought an expensive meter to see that it was not "in my head". No, it's a real problem alright. 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. The FCC must act in accordance w/ the federal order. I would like FCC to do their job and do it well and thoroughly. Thank you for this opportunity to express what is a very real and personal problem.

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: After installation of a 5g tower within 1/4 mile of my home, we have experienced strange muscle pains along with GI issues. 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.

This issue matters to me personally because: Several members of or household are noticeably affected by wireless technologies. I experience physical symptoms of anxiety without any anxious thoughts when I hold my cellphone for too long. Symptoms include shakiness, externally visible heart palpitations, butterflies in my stomach, and an overwhelming urgency to put the phone down even though I am not done composing or reading an important message or email. I also get hot on my ear or side of head if I make a long call, or that hand gets oddly numb or tingly, or my ear starts ringing. Two members of our family have neurological problems that got considerably better when we turned the wifi router off. 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.
