ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I've been around computers and electronics since 1977, starting with mainframe computers and the old-fashioned tube displays. That was my job until 2003 when I retired. I'm always somebody who wants to try new things when they come out. At one time,I had three microwaves in my kitchen, or so I could cook three different items at the same time and have a full course meal come out in 30 minutes. When I started to work from home, I always asked for the fastest modem that was possible from my work. When the iPhone came out in 2007, I bought one and used it incessantly. I made the comment to myself “this may cause me problems later on, but I will deal with that then, because right now it is wonderful”. In 2012, I was living in my condo in Port Hueneme, California, called Surfside IV. I was on the second of three floors at the end of the building. In March, the electric company installed seven smart electric meters in the utility room that was directly underneath my master bedroom, underneath a closet. In May, for about two weeks, I noticed that whenever I walked back to the master bedroom, I tended to get a headache. My neighbor downstairs reported the same thing. I now believe this is when they were testing the smart meters. I was excited for them to be activated, so that I could monitor my electrical usage by the hour. Once a month I would call, asking when they were going to be fully activated. About three weeks into September, I called and was notified that they were activated at the beginning of September. Starting around the beginning of September, my sleep had gone from nine hours a day to 4 1/2 hours a day. I thought I just had a bad bout of insomnia. I had no idea that the smart meters had been turned on. I'm fairly smart, but with my lack of sleep, it took me a year to figure out what to do. I got four of the 7 smart meters replaced with manual ones. I replaced my wireless phones with wired, and I switched to Ethernet cords instead of wireless for my computer. This made a small improvement. The final step was to construct a Faraday cage, made out of aluminum screening that I constructed around my mattress on my platform bed, with one side opening up for me to get in and out, and the mattress inside. This reduced the reading on my meter to -65 DB. I then was able to sleep for 8 hours. At times, the cage would get tears in it and I found that if the reading went over -60 DB my sleep would deteriorate to six hours. This happened several times, so it was a multiple experiment that was corroborated. I found that if I was in an area that had -35 dB or greater, that within a half an hour, I would feel very nervous and my sleep would be affected that night. I found that being in meeting rooms with other people that had cell phones, even though there was Wi-Fi in the building, that if I had everybody turn their cell phones off, that the radiation was reduced by 90% most times. In other words, having cell phones on, in close proximity to me in a group, was much stronger than the Wi-Fi in the building. In a movie theater, I would have to go to a far corner, to be away from being in the middle of the group of people. In 2018 and in 2019, I was in the hospital for a total of 4 weeks . I had to be given drugs to help me get any sleep at all. In 2024 I was in the hospital for over three weeks. With opiates in me, I still had trouble sleeping more than two hours a night. I finally relented and let them give me Ambien, which allowed me to sleep six hours. I ordered an EMF blocking single pup tent that is designed to be used on motel beds. We installed that on my hospital bed and I was able to sleep six hours with no Ambien. In 2026, I was in the hospital again and used the same pup tent in both the emergency room and in the hospital, to good effect. I now find that I need to be in an area with no bars on my cell phone and no Wi-Fi hotspot around me to be able to sleep good. If I have electrical wires that are not metal shielded near my sleeping bed, my legs feel like I am being bit by small bugs. There are no bugs on my legs and no red marks indicating that I'm being bit. After shielding the wires or turning the circuit breaker off for them, the feeling goes away. If the building wires going near my bed are from circuits where neutrals have been shared or neutrals have been connected to ground, causing large magnetic fields to form, depending on the current flow, it will wake me up. In 2024 I collapsed with complete heart block, while traversing the spot in my bedroom that had high magnetic fields caused by not per code wiring. I had tried for several years to get the building inspector in the city, the HOA board, and the homeowners where the code violations seem to come from, to fix the code violation that had been identified by three different building biologist. I found that only about 1% of electricians are aware of this code violation, and that they regularly violate it because it saves them money and the building inspectors don't check for it. Human beings have a habit of enthusiastically adopting new technology. The new technology is sold and promoted by some individuals to make money. Therefore, they don't want anything to get in the way of enlarging their bank account. When DDT first came out, there was an advert in the 1947 issue of TIME magazine that said: "DDT is good for me". When automobiles first came out, it took decades before anybody put a seatbelt in them, even though anybody who knew physics, understood that that was an obvious cheap safety feature. The manufacturers did not want anyone to think, when they saw a car with a seatbelt, that maybe they might get hurt by using the car and therefore not buy it. This pattern is being repeated with wireless technology. DDT was banned, but we have made many improvements to make automobiles safer, as the benefits were worth the injuries and deaths that occurred. I believe the path that we took with automobiles, is the same one we need to take with wireless technology. I have read numerous scientific studies that indicate that children are much more affected negatively by wireless technology than adults. Children rely upon adults to guide them to live life safely. Are we implementing this technology in a way that minimizes the negative effects on children? Are we using the equivalent of booster seats, shoulder harnesses, and speed limits with wireless technology? Are we teaching the children how best to access the Internet with the minimum of wireless exposure? Are we giving parents hints on minimizing wireless exposure to their children? Certified electrical building biologists can help the FCC with this.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We are really in a public health emergency with all of the wireless devices and waves of exposure all around us. These exposure levels are said to be thousands of times over what could be a possible safe level where the science tells us that there really aren’t any truly safe levels for this kind of radiation (microwave exposure). There are thousands of studies, many collected in the Bioinitiative Report BioInitiative Report: A Rationale for a Biologically-based Public Exposure Standard for Electromagnetic Fields (ELF and RF) that demonstrate clearly that these exposures, even at very low levels, have dangerous biological effects. There is even an important study known as the EU Reflex Study which demonstrates that wireless radiation damages cells and DNA on pare with nuclear or gamma radiation. Reflex Study Finds Genotoxic Effects 2004 In city life we are completely surrounded and penetrated by countless exposures from every direction. There is not only the danger that comes from one cellphone,which is enormous, but the cumulative exposures from our neighbors, those coming from satellites, cell towers, smart meters, Bluetooth speakers, multiple WiFi routers in schools with multiple cellphones and other devices. It is a non-stop bombardment which is the cause of extraordinary health damage including cancers, neurological disorders, dementia ( Dr Sharon Goldberg says even in teenagers now) cardiovascular disorders, brain damage, blood toxicity, and anxiety, among many other health problems. I became extremely sensitive to these wireless microwave radio frequency radiation exposures after buying and driving an electric car. After a two hour drive I had an intense neurological breakdown where I could no longer sense the periphery of my body nor could I remember or track my thoughts. It was quite like I was experiencing dementia with a feeling of squeezing across the top of my head as well as a feeling that my brain was vibrating. I healed over time by avoiding all wireless exposures as much as possible as well as consuming large doses of many supplements, but I remain an electro sensitive person whose body is intensely disturbed by surrounding wireless exposures. I used to have to drive out to the countryside to be able to breathe when my neighbor would have his Bluetooth on (as well as when the smart meter was installed on my home- so fortunate to have my smart meter in opt out mode now but there is still some “dirty electricity” it causes that affects my health). I am very fortunate to have a new neighbor who keeps his Bluetooth off for me. There are also places in my home where I can feel the smart meters shooting through my home. I can’t stand very long at my sink without getting pains in my body from this, can not sit at parts of my dining room table nor use one of my bedrooms ( as it is to close to my other neighbors who use Bluetooth etc). It is quite a challenging life for an electro sensitive person ( though we are all biological and are all being damaged from wireless, the electro sensitive can feel the damage as it is happening). It really limits where I can go and how long I can stay in any given place. I could definitely not work in an office or school or even attend a dinner with people with their cellphones on etc. There are millions of people like me who have become electro sensitive all over the world. Many have been displaced from their homes because of cell towers or smart meters and other wireless nightmares. Many can no longer work in their jobs for which they have trained. Some have had to seek refuge in the forest or rural settings, though now with the proliferation of satellites and almost ubiquitous wireless coverage it is becoming more difficult to find a safe place to live. There are also dangers to our atmosphere, other living beings of nature( bees, birds, trees, etc, and the planet which we must be arrested immediately. This wireless proliferation should have been stoped a long time ago as the science has been available for decades. There is an important article from The Lancet - Planetary Electromagnetic Pollution: is it time to assess its impact? This is a critical situation, a real emergency, to preserve the health of people and planet. It requires immediate, sober and creative action. It is critically important that we primarily wire for communications and eliminate the waves passing through/damaging bodies. Cell phones as they exist now can be used in airplane mode with Bluetooth, cellular, and WiFi off, with an Ethernet adapter to access internet etc. There could be stations available at home, workplaces, around town, etc where one could plug in one’s phones or computers for connection. Utility meters and other tech could also be wired, avoiding the extremely damaging bodily trespass of microwave radiation.

Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS): Research, Disability Accommodation, and Public Health Concerns Su…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS): Research, Disability Accommodation, and Public Health Concerns Submitted by Sheena Symington, B.Sc., MA, sheena@electrosensitivesociety.com Director, Electrosensitive Society Inc. www.electrosensitivesociety.com Background and Experience My name is Sheena Symington, and I am the Director of the Electrosensitive Society. For more than 20 years, I have studied the biological effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) and radiofrequency radiation (RFR) while supporting individuals affected by electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), also referred to as electromagnetic injury. My work includes educating the public about electromagnetic hygiene, providing individual support, and advocating for accommodations that allow people with EHS to access safe housing, workplaces, schools, medical facilities, hospitals, and public spaces. I have worked with more than 14 hospitals to reduce and contain electromagnetic exposure so that patients with EHS can access medical care. Containing wireless radiation within designated areas is an important accommodation, comparable to managing other forms of environmental pollution. https://www.electrosensitivesociety.com/how-hospitals-can-accommodate-patients-who-have-ehs/ A growing number of physicians are diagnosing this environmentally induced disability, while specialists in EMF and RFR remediation are helping affected individuals reduce their exposure. EHS as a Disability and Barriers to Accommodation EHS can be debilitating, isolating, and life-altering. Symptoms vary considerably, ranging from mild discomfort to severe impairment that prevents individuals from working or participating in everyday activities. For some, electromagnetic exposure affects cardiovascular and neurological function, including the heart and brain. Symptoms may improve substantially or resolve when exposure is eliminated. The widespread use of wireless technologies, including cell phones, Wi-Fi, and cellular antennas, makes it increasingly difficult for affected individuals to access medical care, maintain employment, or secure suitable housing. Access to affordable housing with low electromagnetic exposure is particularly urgent. Such environments are becoming increasingly difficult to find in both urban and rural areas. Some individuals have been displaced or become homeless because they cannot find housing that accommodates their environmental sensitivities. In Canada, individuals with environmentally induced disabilities have applied for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) because of their inability to secure suitable living environments. This underscores the importance of developing affordable, low-exposure housing for people with environmental sensitivities. Progress in Medical Education, Accessibility, and Legal Recognition Several developments demonstrate growing attention to EHS and the need for appropriate accommodations. Information for Doctors on how to prevent electromagnetic injury: https://www.electrosensitivesociety.com/information-for-health-care-professionals/ Medical education: Two EMF medical conferences offering Continuing Medical Education (CME) accreditation were held in California in 2019 and online in January 2021. The latter remains available to physicians. EMF Medical Conference 2021 National Council on Disability: In May 2022, I was invited to present to the U.S. National Council on Disability (NCD) on accommodating individuals with EHS in hospital settings. Electrosensitive Society – NCD Presentation, May 12, 2022 Legal recognition and accommodation: In June and August 2022, Physicians' Health Initiative for Radiation and Environment (PHiRE), based in the United Kingdom, reported successful legal action securing full accommodation for EHS in a public school. PHiRE also reported that a woman received Early Ill-health Retirement and Employment Support Allowance on the basis of EHS. PHiRE – News   Reducing Electromagnetic Exposure Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields associated with wireless technologies have been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as Group 2B: Possibly Carcinogenic to Humans, a category that also includes lead and DDT. We should consider examples from European schools and hospitals that have reduced or removed Wi-Fi to limit unnecessary exposure. Relevant examples include: • Cyprus Hospital Removes Wi-Fi to Protect Children • Schools Worldwide Removing Wi-Fi and Reducing Exposure Practical measures to reduce exposure and accommodate individuals with EHS include: • Locating cellular towers away from residential areas, schools, hospitals, and other sensitive locations. • Establishing areas free from cellular towers and unnecessary wireless transmissions. • Turning off wireless devices wherever possible. • Replacing Wi-Fi with shielded Ethernet cabling and fibre-optic connections without wireless components. • Providing wired internet access in homes, workplaces, schools, hospitals, and other public facilities. These measures would help create accessible environments while maintaining high-quality internet connectivity. Additional guidance on electromagnetic hygiene and accommodations is available through the Electrosensitive Society. Research on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Exposure Through our work at The ROSE Lab (www.theroselab.com), we investigate and document biological responses to electromagnetic fields and radiation. EHS is frequently interpreted as a psychological rather than physiological condition. Our research examines measurable biological responses that may help distinguish these explanations. Studies conducted by our research group including double-blind, placebo-controlled investigations, have reported the following findings:   1. Cardiovascular and autonomic nervous system responses Some individuals exposed to RFR experience tachycardia (rapid heart rate), increased sympathetic nervous system activity, and reduced parasympathetic activity. These responses have been documented during controlled exposure studies. 2. Blood glucose regulation Dr. Magda Havas has documented changes in blood glucose among individuals with diabetes and EHS. Blood glucose increased during RFR exposure and decreased in electromagnetically cleaner environments, with changes observed within approximately 20–30 minutes. 3. Multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms Observations involving individuals with MS and EHS have reported reduced tremors in environments with lower electromagnetic exposure. 4. Blood viscosity and circulation Research has reported changes in blood characteristics associated with electromagnetic exposure, including increased viscosity and reduced blood flow. These findings raise concerns about potential cardiovascular implications, including heart attack and stroke risk. 5. Effects on plants We have also investigated the effects of Wi-Fi exposure on seed germination and plant growth, including broccoli, peas, red clover, and garden cress. These studies contribute to our understanding of biological responses to electromagnetic exposure and the importance of further research and appropriate accommodations. Research References Diabetes and electromagnetic exposure PubMed – PMID 18568931 Multiple sclerosis and electromagnetic exposure PubMed – PMID 17178585 Tachycardia and autonomic nervous system responses Havas – DECT Phones Affect the Heart Blood viscosity PubMed – PMID 24192494 Effects of Wi-Fi Radiation on Germination and Growth of Broccoli, Pea, Red Clover and Garden Cress Seedlings: A Partial Replication Study ResearchGate – Study Conclusion Individuals with EHS face significant challenges in accessing healthcare, housing, employment, education, and public spaces. Greater recognition of their accommodation needs, together with practical measures to reduce electromagnetic exposure, is essential to improving accessibility and quality of life. The Electrosensitive Society provides one-on-one assistance to affected individuals and their families, while The ROSE Lab continues to investigate biological responses to electromagnetic exposure. I welcome the opportunity to share our research, experience, and practical approaches to accommodating individuals disabled by electromagnetic exposure. Please confirm receipt of this submission and contact me if further information or assistance would be helpful. Sincerely, Sheena Symington, B.Sc., MA Director, Electrosensitive Society Inc.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
This issue matters to me personally: The most safe eletromagnetic radiation (EMR) is 1.0 uw/m2 according to the Building Biology Institute (BBI) but can be workable in the day time only up to 10.0 uw/m2 maximum. Therefore, anything beyond is a detriment to thriving and wellness. Of the 4 EMR frequencies I am only speaking of the radio frequency (RF) today. I had an event where I had to sit on my analog water meter out in the hot FL sun to preserve it or get regularly radiated my a nearby cell tower of 1K uw/m2, which could be inappropriately changed without notice. It was totally detrimental and unsafe for me. The whole event was very scary with 3 men towering over me, while I was on the ground, including a sheriff that I said to all do not touch me being a small, slight woman. It was very stressful, disturbing and fortunately being informed ahead of time I was at home. They attempted to talk me into moving but I did not and they eventually left. Gratefully I still have that analog meter, which the water company physically reads and bills as usual. I am asking: 1.That these EMR responsibilities be taken over my appropriate departments, such as the U.S Deptment of Health and Human Services, which contain doctors, health practitioners, building biologists, electrical engineers and the like who have expertise in these areas without prejudice and are regularly audited. 2.That with decades of evidence of harm it very overdue to upgrade the carcinogenic grade level of EMR to Definitely Carcinogenic or may be even worse than that. 3.That everyone needs to be educated, trained and simply explained with proof to turn off RF at night, keep devices off your body and hard wire all devices at a minimum. 4.That with the RF boundary-less invasion through over densification of cell tower RF and surveillance that need to be re-purposed to emit healthful, rejuvenating output. Here is one study I believe the FCC should review when addressing the concerns about wireless radiation: Panagopoulos et al. (2021): Human-made electromagnetic fields: Ion forced-oscillation and voltage-gated ion channel dysfunction, oxidative stress and DNA damage – Reviewed evidence and proposed mechanisms linking human-made electromagnetic fields to oxidative stress, DNA damage, and cellular dysfunction. 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
Our loved one was harmed by over exposure to harmful wireless radiation where she worked and in an apartment building where she lived. Neither place would test the area. She heard a physician speak about his daughter's problem with RF radiation exposure. She purchased the meter he recommended and tested the environments, which were in the high danger zone. She moved out. She suffers greatly and cannot go in many places without excruciating pain (headaches, jaw pain, stomach pain (as if being punched in stomach), brain fog, speech problems, etc. She once visited Green Bank WV and felt peace. If she walks on a beach or barefoot in the woods, she feels better. Her life and travels have been significantly compromised as a result. She has been unable to fly or go to many places. Please update guidelines and create safe places and require companies to create safe portable phones and other devices for people like our loved one. She recently moved to a new place and has been unable to create a safe environment. She needs a landline, but the wiring was removed when the contractors renovated the house and local suppliers refuse to install one. She rarely goes to large events and even struggles going to church because there are no safe zones, despite her pleas to create these. When she goes into a hospital (after working in hospitals her entire life), she gets quite sick. She can only travel in old cars, since so many of the newer ones have too much technology. We're concerned for her life, as it looks like she now needs surgery for something and we're concerned about how to protect her during and after surgery and recovery. Most physicians we encounter here in Boston don't even recognize this issue yet. Please help her and all those who suffer from this manmade disaster. Please update guidelines for safety to reflect current data, to help protect people from this kind of harm.

https://www.spandidos-publications.com/10.3892/ijo.2021.5272 I urge you to consider these findings. All human life is being exposed to and affected by the wireless radio frequencies. Please use other forms of technology that do not harm or affect people and children. Use of cables and hard wiring is safer and more effective. The damage to cells and all life needs to stop.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My comment is in response to the Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding both as a patient and a healthcare professional, who has been concerned about this issue for many years, and has read the scientific literature. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/379738087_Investigation_of_the_Adverse_Health_Effects_of_Cell_Phone_Radiation_and_Propose_Solutions_to_Minimize_Them_A_Systematic_Review I developed hypersensitivity to electromagnetic radiation when I had another serious illness, and the effects of the wireless radiation made my overall symptoms worse. Those symptoms included brain fog, insomnia, anxiety and tinnitus. I removed all cordless phones from my home, and use wired phones and computers to help reduce the symptoms. My cell phone is turned off or on airplane mode most of the time to reduce my exposure. Although I can reduce exposure in my home, I need the government to reduce the exposure in the community. Our government is responsible for making sure the exposure to electromagnetic radiation is safe. Thus far, it has not been proven safe, and the exposures allowed in our country are magnitudes higher than that allowed in the EU. Please examine both the scientific evidence and people’s experiences regarding the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by the appropriate federal agencies with expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health. I urge HHS to identify gaps in current research, giving particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations. We need to establish appropriate federal research priorities and laws regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for considering these concerns. Kim Weeber, DPM, LAc

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The FCC is a captured agency whose revolving doors include commissioners that are former CEOs, lawyers and lobbyists of the telecom industry. The FCC has refused to update their safety standards since 1996, even though a $25 million dollar industry-funded research concluded that wireless radiation raised the risk of brain tumors. Those 1996 safety standards considered only the thermal effects of wireless radiation for brief exposure...no long term exposure to the exponentially stronger electromagnetic radiation of today's technologies. In August 2021, the FCC was ordered to update their safety standards in the federal case Environmental Health Trust,et. al. V FCC supported by over 11,000 scientific health and safety studies. Yet the wireless industry has proceeded as if this ruling never took place. Updated safety standards for human health are long overdue and must be integrated into systems to protect Americans NOW. The world's largest insurance companies have responded by excluding any liability coverage for claims "directly or indirectly arising out of, resulting from, or contributed to, by electromagnetic fields, electromagnetic radiation, electromagnetism, radio waves or noise." Lloyds of London and Swiss Reinsurance Company have put wireless radiation in the highest risk category, next to smoking and asbestos. 30+ countries around the world including the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, India, Australia, New Zealand and Brazil have banned Chinese-made 5G technology because of national security concerns. Wireless broadband is not cyber secure, it's unreliable in bad weather, it's a proven fire hazard, it's untested for EMF safety, it uses much more energy than fiber-optic and its giant equipment is aesthetically offensive. Only fiber-optic cable direct to homes and businesses delivers speed-of-light internet connection that will meet the needs required for next generation programs and services, with no threat to cyber security because it can't be hacked and it poses no health risk to humans or the environment. Californians have already paid for fiber optic to their homes in their phone bills over a 20+ year period. The IRREGULATORS vs. FCC lawsuit in 2020 exposed the largest accounting scandal in American history where telecom corporations fraudulently funnelled the money already paid by their customers for fiber-optic-to- the-premises, into wireless technology instead. Where is that TRILLION DOLLARS now? I implore you to update safety standards NOW, using third party testing, NOT funded by the wireless industry.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
After suffering from a brain injury as flight crew in 2017 I began experiencing reactions around wireless technology. Since then it is impossible for me to leave my home without suffering from symptoms of migraine, vertigo, latent sleep disorder, and even at times seizures. Thankfully I can function on my own property without wi-fi as I was able to switch to wired internet. Sadly though, every year it seems the intensity of my neighbor’s wireless networks increases, causing me to suffer mild symptoms on a round the clock basis. If I am so affected by these frequencies, what might they be doing to the developing child’s brains or to our pets and wildlife? After deep diving into published research, it is clear that the literature shows wireless technologies are neuro-toxic to biology via neurotransmitter changes and Voltage Gated Calcium Channel dysfunction. With our current uptick in maladies such as cancers of all kinds, infertility, neuro-degeneration, Cardiovascular Disease, ASD, Hoshimoto’s Thyroiditis, Type 2 Diabetes, and more, we should be asking why this is happening exponentially as we increase the rate of our wireless radiation exposures. On top of the physiological effects, our population's mental health is also suffering. It appears from psychological studies this is largely due to the overload of communications and information. Our governing bodies have not performed their due diligence in investigating potential harms from wireless technology. Focusing on the thermal effects of non-ionizing radiation does not suffice in assuring the public you are required to protect that these technologies are safe. At the very minimum, while we continue to perform long-term studies on the non thermal effects of non-ionizing radiation exposures on humans and the environment, I propose that we: .Re-introduce wired phone lines and ethernet connections in homes, businesses, and public places. . Require all wireless technologies sold in the US to have an “offline mode” which completely disables all wireless functions. . That all wireless functions of all devices be required to be in their offline mode at our schools, parks, public buildings, places of gathering, hospitals, public transportation, and the like. . That cell phone towers, power stations, and other facilities or antenna that emit ELF, EMF, or RF be required to be positioned a mile or more away from buildings, public spaces, and areas of residence OR require informed consent from all potentially affected parties as to the exposures and their unknown possible effects. . That public warnings be instituted regarding the unknown or possible harms of using wireless devices. . That our governing bodies and manufacturers be held responsible for any adverse effects from their approved devices, products, or the infrastructure of wireless technologies.
