Complete top to bottom regulatory capture. We need a national smart meter opt out on individual residences for all types of technologies for every utility available, electricity, natural gas, water, and beyond. Local energy and utility companies consistently refuse to offer opt outs, charge punitive pricing for those whom refuse smart grid systems, refuse to listen, deceive customers about the dangers of these technological items, and force us to have them on our homes. We want cell towers of all kinds removed from all public parks and public schools for similar safety concern reasons. We were supposed to have low priced broadband and fiber optic access, which is what 1990's infrastructure built out subsidies and grants were intended for. Instead the telecom companies hijacked the infrastructure and sold everyone high price cellular instead, built on the backbone of the fiberoptic network the public paid for, for public benefit and low priced access. The biological damage from these technologies goes far beyond thermal heating. Bees and pollinators are at historically low numbers, we are experiencing an insect and other biological forms of life die off on this planet. Please will someone force a removal of the never ending new satellites in the sky and get that under control immediately? We do not need to blanket the entire earth with wireless access emf fields. The corporations pushing these technologies are clearly unchecked and effectively unregulated at this point. We need additional investment in fiberoptic with public access everywhere there may be sub standard connectivity. The last thing we need anywhere is another technological smart device or spyware data broker collection device anywhere. Get every single one of these out of our public areas immediately please. Keep it wired. Keep it safe. From wireless devices within the homes, for entertainment, work purposes, the unwelcome injection of synching devices pervading everything everywhere, clearly there is no regulatory check to these industries. These have deleterious and cumulative negative effects on human health, down to the cellular level. The damage builds the more emf field exposure is present. Yet the industry and captured government agencies insist on ignoring studies and scientific proof from around the world the harms these new technologies cause. At this point it may be better for medical professionals to prescribe safe limits because there is nowhere anyone can turn for valid safety or meaningful privacy advisement from within the government agencies whom allegedly oversee these industries. We want 3glte systems available again. The ewaste generated from these forced transitions to 4glte or higher is incredible and wasteful. We want our qwerty flip phones back. The kind without all the monitoring capability, built in spyware, and dangerous high frequency emf generating fields like all the 'modern' phones. The amount of fraud, spam of all sorts, is clearly out of control and unchecked on these systems too. From smart devices of all sorts to every day phones, there needs to be new rules prohibiting all types of unwelcome communication and solicitation. Real penalties for scammers whom never ever stop and have created a billions of dollar a year industry defrauding Americans. We're forced to have these devices through a myriad of ways or denied normal societal access, then there is no effective oversight to prevent harm and abuse of the systems integrations. The bees are dying. The trees are dying. The soils are increasingly contaminated. Yet big industry continues to pull the strings of government. The waste fraud and abuse has truly reached epic levels. This is not the bright future of technology we were promised. As the surveillance network builds at a rapid pace all around us, tyranny on the horizon. All it takes to turn these technologies into tools of control and harm is a policy change. The very last thing anyone needs is another data center and we're also in desperate need of right to be forgotten type laws, strict limitations on data gathering of data brokers and the corporations they deal with. We want our fourth amendment right to privacy back immediately. The wireless infrastructure and IOT network of devices is a key part in the erosion of civil liberties, ongoing abusive process by these corporations whom build, deploy, utilize, and profit from the devices presence. When do we as consumers get a meaningful opt out option? We're all opted in without consent then are not allowed to opt out? Nobody does anything about this as they ignore privacy and safety advocates from around the world whom have irrefutably proved harm? That is regulatory capture. Save the bees. If you don't care about rights and health of humans, at least save the bees. Our food supply depends on them. The emf fields decimate pollinators even worse than chemical pollution. Endless studies, ignored.

Thank you for reading this. Please do what is right for our children and our children’s children. You’ll find cell phone radiation is very similar to tobacco. Cell phones are very addictive and have a significant, detrimental health effects and sadly the impact won’t be discovered until years after extraordinary damage has already been done. Please step up and do what is right for the health and wellbeing of humanity and frankly all life on the planet. For the radiation is harmful to all living beings (plants, animals and humans). Many have died do to the effects of cellphone radiation. Many others suffer daily. Many are completely unaware of the dangers and the long term harm being created.Please, Please, please protect the public rather than corporate profits. In 2019 a colleague of mine facilitated the passage, in Oregon, of SB283 which was to review science to determine whether children in schools are safe being exposed to high power wi-fi routers and other wireless devices in the classroom. The bill passed unanimously in the Senate and overwhelmingly in the House. While lobbying the bill and gathering information he interviewed 2 children who had to leave school due to microwave sickness caused by RF in the school. He also met 2 teachers, one in Los Angeles with the same condition. The teacher in L.A. sued the school and won the lawsuit. The results of the science review by the Oregon Health Authority, quoting the first draft: "All studies showed worse health outcomes, all studies showed harm to reproductive organs..." The draft was withheld from a FOIA request and later obtained by journalist, Dan Forbes, who wrote a lengthy article about the corrupt handling and the crime committed by OHA in withholding from a FOIA request. In addition, commercial insurance companies will no longer insure for "harm from exposure to electromagnetic frequencies" This is an industry wide practice that has taken affect years ago. Cell telephone advertising shows people with the phone against their heads yet companies warn to keep the phone an inch from the body. I always wonder if legislators or others in high profile agencies and organizations that are compromised by industry money ever consider they are doing harm by defrauding science, writing phony reports, and controlling the narrative in deceiving the public that they are safe. A brief historical summary of those involved with passing the previously mentioned Oregon Senate Bill 283 Prof. Paul Héroux, Professor of Toxicology and Health Effects of Electromagnetism at the McGill University flew to Portland from Montreal to testify on behalf of SB 283, only to return to Monreal the following day. Prof. Héroux developed a Unified Theory of Weak Magnetic Field Action that proposes A radical new outlook. Dr. Paul Dart, an Environmental Physician of Eugene, Oregon, makes invisible electromagnetic radiation visible, using his instrument, as he testifies at the Senate. The term Electromagnetic Medicine has, over the years, meant researchers in laboratories looking to use electromagnetic radiation to treat diseases. Dr. Dart gives it a new, clinical meaning, in the protection of Lucia, 14 years old, who testified below. L---a (a minor) attended school while positioned just below a WiFi router. At 9 years old, she became ill with nausea and rashes, and for over a year saw 7 doctors before her family realized that she was made sick by the WiFi radiation. Her mother switched her to the only school available that did not have WiFi, and she recovered. Graduating from her current school, she is now looking to continue her studies in an environment that will not make her sick. Senator Laurie Monnes-Anderson introduced the bill as a legislator and retired public health nurse. Monnes-Anderson is also a former school board member and the mother of two children who attended Oregon public schools. She understands the strengths and weaknesses of our public education system and has become well versed in the potential risks of long term exposure to microwave radiation in the classroom environment and made a special appearance at the hearing to speak in support of the bill.

To whom it may concern: Oct. 13 2026 In 2018, we moved into our home in Geneva, Florida. My wife almost immediately started having convulsions with blackouts multiple times daily. Because she had brain surgery before, she went back to her Neurologist. After extensive testing and trying many medications, The Neurologist. could not identify a cause. Nothing stopped the convulsions or the blackouts. Her days were reduced to getting up every morning and sitting down with a bowl of ice water in her lap. She would place a cold, wet washcloth on her forehead between convulsions. This went on all day long for months. She was physically exhausted which caused memory loss and disorientation. During this time, a close friend sent an email containing a video of a woman talking about Smart Meters used by electric companies that might be a fire hazard. We were unaware of Smart Meters. After watching the video, we checked to see if we had one on our home. We did. It was located on the exterior of our bedroom wall, about eighteen inches from our heads where we slept. We looked online for our power company's website. There the Power Company explained that the meter was transmitting (pulsing) RF signals a few seconds a day and was harmless. I was an aviation electronics technician specializing in airborne side-looking radar and infrared photography in the Navy. Upon leaving the Navy, I worked in the Telephony Industry during the development and deployment of wireless telephone systems and telephones. So, I questioned the frequency of signals the Smart Meter was transmitting and how often they were being transmitted. I rented a NARDA SRM-3006 meter. With it, I was able to measure the number of transmissions and the magnitude of the pulses which were in the 10,000 µW/m² range. Also, I saw when the transmissions occurred. The transmissions were numerous and spread throughout the day and night (24/7). My wife had titanium sutures implanted in her head from her previous brain surgery. I was concerned that these signals might be triggering the convulsions. The family shielded another bedroom in our house to shelter her. The convulsions with blackouts ceased. Many doctors expressed doubt about her condition and refused to help. She decided go back to see the GP who had been her doctor for many years, hoping he might understand. After explaining to him precisely what had occurred, he began to laugh. We asked what was funny and he explained. He had been having heart palpitations and periods of shortness of breath. After testing, he was unable to find a cause. It was then he learned that his office was located directly under the WI-FI router for the entire multi-storied building his office was in. He had his office rooms painted with shielding paint. His cardiac symptoms diminished. Because the RF signals were rapidly increasing with newer technology, when my wife went out into public communities, she began having more intense and longer lasting convulsions with blackouts. I began having to take her to the hospital to gain control. She started wearing a silver lined head covering to help shield herself from the waves. Because the RF signals were becoming endemic, we decided to relocate to a safer environment. In 2023 , we purchased an old farm in West Virginia's Quiet Zone. Even here she has to use shielding due to the wide use of wireless devices, IE, cell phones which can produce 5G signals in ranges of 350,000 to over 2,500,000 µW/m² range, WI-FI signals over 10,000 µW/m² , Bluetooth devices with signals over 6,500 µW/m² , and the deployment of 5G frequencies. Yes, even here in the “quiet zone” many people never turn off their cell phones. Although their phones will not work, they still transmit RF signals. So, the use of higher frequencies still penetrate her shielding and can again cause convulsions and blackouts. Here are two examples: Due to a product recall my CPAC machine was replaced in June 2024. The new machine was installed immediately and put into use. During the night, my wife had severe convulsions. Using a Safe and Sound Pro II Broadband RF Meter, I was able to find the source of the signals that triggered her convulsions. My new CPAC unit was emitting Bluetooth signals in the 4000 to 6000 µW/m² range. I was able to turn the Bluetooth off using the CPAP controls. My wife had two nights of peaceful sleep. On the third night, she had severe convulsions again. With the meter, I learned that the new CPAP unit had independently turned the Bluetooth signals on again. Consequently, I had to repeatedly reset the Bluetooth controls to off prior to the third day automatic re-activation. In September 2025, I was visiting a neighbor. Because of their home WIFI, my wife sat in our car. His wife went out to speak with my wife. While they were conversing, my wife began to convulse. Our neighbor's wife ran back to her house and told me my wife was not well. I quickly saw what was happening and removed my wife from the area. I went back to the neighbor's home with the meter. The neighbor's wife had recently replaced her hearing aids. Her new hearing aids were both emitting Bluetooth signals in the 1050- 2000 µW/m² range. Recently, a physicist in Canada suggested my wife try using two silver lined shields (one over the other) and for the most part it now blocks the higher frequencies. We do not know if she will be able to shelter from satellite waves which are in the 18 GHz frequency range which can be detected with the Safe and Sound Pro mm Wave Broadband RF Meter 20 – 40 GHz. These increasing high frequencies and their extensive deployment causes my wife to live in isolation and be constantly shielded. Thank you for putting public health first.

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 infants and 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. I support only human and non-animals studies. 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. I am a healthcare professional. I have seen substantial scientific evidence that has been collected for some time about how wireless radiation has deleterious effects on the public, especially on infants and children, whose cells are turning over rapidly, causing a chain reaction of negative effects on their development. The damage also occurs in adults, animals, wildlife and plants. Some countries have already heeded this information to put into place safety regulations to protect them. 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 needs to revise radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. Wireless radiation is a toxin that affects many people (and other organisms) in many different ways. I, for example, experience pulsatile tinnitus that is made worse with increased WiFi and other wireless radiation from smartphones and other wireless tech. Multiple MD/ENT visits and a brain MRI could not reveal any info on this or address any cause, as the medical establishment generally remains ignorant of wireless radiation issues, which is in part caused by failure of the FCC, as a national regulatory body, to properly study and establish safety regulations that actually keep people and the environment safe. I’ve deduced that radiation affects ion channel function in my ear, as it’s like my inner ear is spasming when the pulsatile tinnitus occurs. I also developed “trigger thumb” at exactly the spot where I used to hold my phone all the time. After getting a meter, I saw that the highest radiation in my phone is right where I used to hold it. Needless to say, I no longer hold my phone that way- in fact, I try to touch my phone as little as possible. There are also concerns from radiation that is clearly present even feet away from the phone (which I can measure with the meter!). There is actually a lot of research from around the world, but the two studies below are examples that explain potential mechanisms for the issues I’ve personally experienced from emf/communications radiation: BioInitiative Report (2012, with Subsequent Research Updates): https://bioinitiative.org/updated-research-summaries/ Panagopoulos et al. (2021): https://www.spandidos-publications.com/10.3892/ijo.2021.5272 The FCC has not addressed 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.

I'm a very healthy and fit 71yo woman. I take a lot of precautions with regard to EMR exposure, however, the introduction of 5G has obviously been impossible to avoid in public spaces. I've had an unexplained rise in my Hemoglobin A1c, from 5.3 to 5.9 over the past few years. I don't have any risk factors for type 2 diabetes, so wonder if the beta cells in my pancreas are being negatively effected by 5G. I have 2 friends who are in their mid 60's who like me are very health conscious, lean, and fit. They do not take precautions with regard to EMR and both have HgbA1c's in the pre-diabetic range! What's going on in our environment? Please look into this potential connection. Thank you.

I am extremely worried about the future of the human race. We need to protect not only the environment in which we live but the wellbeing of those of us who are alive now and of our children’s children and beyond. Please rein in the communications companies who have to this point caused toxicity in our children’s environment.

Because of radiofrequency pollution, I can no longer work. Because of radiofrequency pollution, I can no longer work. I no longer have access to stores, government offices (including courts), hospitals, retirement homes, trains, or vehicles (which have too much electronics), places of learning and culture, etc. In fact, this disability cuts me off from everything, even help from my family and loved ones. I am far from being the only one affected by this. Unlike many people, however, I am aware of it. Artificial radiofrequency pollution—which is becoming increasingly widespread and causes mutual interference—poses a threat to life and all living things (both animals and plants). It is urgent that we reduce these levels. Translated with DeepL.com A cause des pollutions par les radiofréquences, je ne peux plus travailler. Je n'ai plus accès aux magasins, aux administrations (tribunaux compris), aux hôpitaux, aux maisons de retraites, à l'accès aux trains comme aux véhicules ( qui ont trop d'électronique), aux lieux d'étude et de culture, etc. En fait, cet handicape me ferme la porte à tout, même à l'aide de ma famille et de mes proches. Je suis loin d'être la seule à en être malade. A la différence de beaucoup de gens, moi, je le sais. Les pollutions par les radiofréquences artificielles, de plus en plus nombreuses et qui s'interfèrent entre elles, représentent un danger pour la vie, toute le vivant (animal comme végétal). Il est urgent de baisser les niveaux. Because of radiofrequency pollution, I can no longer work. Because of radiofrequency pollution, I can no longer work.

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.

Thank you for your consideration. The basis of my proposal starts with an acknowledgement the panel faces of the challenges getting good studies in today's system. The docket summary shows people are concerned but that it is difficult getting good clear actionable information. I could point out studies here or elsewhere but the usual issues would be sited that the study does not represent our society or that there are other contributing factors to any harms. On the other hand, the same could be said when relying on an Australian study to state that there are no biological harms. Australia is different than the US. Their average exposures are less than the US; 1.06V/m versus 1.44V/m. I expect the panel's own frustrations at getting good studies would be a driver for my proposal. My proposal is that for any new technology that changes exposures, select a distributed random subset of states to roll it out to first. Conduct a health survey with concerned health and industry experts in those and neighboring states before and after introduction. Passing this rule could motivate states to get good health and environmental records to be able to be a part of a new innovation rollout. I expect that industry and states will be against it. However, an economic study using forecast computer models would be interesting. It would help distribute technology through the country rather than having central points of innovation. Without a plan, the alternative is to continue innovating at a blind, break neck speed. Why chance breaking the nation's neck? This is not stopping innovation, but planned implementation. I expect an argument against the proposal to be why make an update when there are no known harms. The 'no known' part is the reason to implement. Ruben et al 2010 states no findings of harms, but noted 2% of the population could detect fields. Studies in plants and animals note biological impacts, but often are argued that the test isn't representative. If there are biological impacts on plants and animals I expect people also have those impacts and we expose ourselves to worse conditions more similar to how the animals are tested. Is RF causing reproductive harms? We can't know because there are pesticides, pollution, and other factors. We could know if there was planned implementation.
