We urgently need regulations that give consumers the choice to deactivate in a simple way all wireless emissions when buying a new car. In other words, a consumer should be able to put his or her car in ‘airplane’ mode. This is especially important for people with electrohypersensitivity (EHS). Please find attached a list of scientific studies on electrohypersensitivity. Also, there should be a free or affordable opt-out (preferably consisting of an analog meter) for smart meters in all US states.

Research on Wireless Radiation and Electromagnetic Fields from 2016 to 2026 Electromagnetic Radiation Safety, October 14, 2026 https://www.saferemr.com/2022/06/recent-research-on-wireless-radiation.html Electromagnetic Radiation Safety has been circulating abstracts of newly-published scientific papers on radio frequency and other non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMF) monthly since 2016. The complete collection contains almost 3,000 abstracts with links to these papers. Several hundred EMF scientists around the world receive these updates. The three volumes of this collection are attached. Volume 1: 2016 – 2020, 875 pages Volume 2: 2021 – 2023, 867 pages Volume 3: 2024 – October 2026, 763 pages

Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397. Q2 perspective: individual consumer. Answers Q5(o), 5(p), 6, 8, 11(a), 12, 13, 16. Labels: [GR] government report, [PR] peer-reviewed; status ESTABLISHED, EMERGING or UNCERTAIN. SUMMARY. U.S. limits (FCC, last updated 1996) guard against heating: a 4 W/kg animal threshold cut about 50-fold [GR, ESTABLISHED]. Federal bodies have questioned whether they cover chronic, body-contact or childhood exposure (FDA 1999, GAO 2012, D.C. Cir. 2021). FDA told NTP in 1999 there was "insufficient scientific basis for concluding either that wireless communication technologies are safe or that they pose a risk" [GR]. We believe that remains the honest state of knowledge, and it calls for research and prudence. 1. CELLULAR EFFECTS AT OR BELOW LIMITS (Q6, Q12) [EMERGING] - NCRP Report 86 (1986): athermal interactions "have been demonstrated for fields both strong and weak" [GR]. - Swiss BERENIS (2021): "the majority of the animal and more than half of the cell studies provided evidence of increased oxidative stress" (RF and ELF studies pooled), some "below the regulatory limits"; harm is likelier when redox balance is disturbed "over a long period of time." It notes study weaknesses [GR]. - Volkow, JAMA 2011: 50 min of phone exposure raised brain glucose metabolism near the antenna (P=.004), "of unknown clinical significance" [PR]. - Schmid, J Sleep Res 2012: "both pulse-modulated radio frequency and pulsed magnetic fields affect brain physiology" (sleep EEG) [PR]. Signal pattern, not only power, matters (Q5(p)). - Lerchl, BBRC 2015: in carcinogen-treated mice, liver tumors rose at 0.04 W/kg (half the 0.08 W/kg whole-body limit) and lung tumors at 0.4 W/kg, replicating Tillmann 2010; no dose-response [PR]. - NTP TR-595 (2018): "clear evidence" of heart schwannomas in male rats [GR]; NIEHS cautions the findings "should not be directly extrapolated to human cell phone usage." These are biological signals; whether they cause disease in people is UNCERTAIN. 2. LONG-TERM EXPOSURE IS UNTESTED (Q6, Q16) [ESTABLISHED gap] - FDA 1999: limits "may not be protective against any non-thermal effects of chronic exposures" [GR]. - UK AGNIR 2012: human data "essentially restricted to periods of less than 15 years from first exposure" [GR]. - COSMOS 2024 (264,574 adults) found no glioma link, but median follow-up was 7.12 years [PR]. INTERPHONE's heaviest users: OR 1.40 (1.03-1.89); authors: "biases and error prevent a causal interpretation" [PR]. - D.C. Circuit (EHT v. FCC, 2021) held the FCC's non-cancer reasoning "arbitrary and capricious" and remanded on children and long-term exposure. - NIEHS has "no further plans to conduct additional RFR exposure studies." IARC (2024) made RF re-evaluation a high priority, advised for the latter half of 2025-2029. 3. THE LEVELS WE NOW HAVE (Q8, Q11(a), Q13) - Ambient levels are low: European homes and outdoors average 0.16-0.76 V/m, "substantially below regulatory limits" (Sagar 2018) [PR, ESTABLISHED]. - The highest doses come from devices on the body. France's ANSES (2019): of 272 phones tested touching the body, "206 telephones (76%) had trunk SAR values above 2 W/kg," maximum 7.42 W/kg (European test basis) [GR, ESTABLISHED]. - GAO-12-771: U.S. test practice "could result in RF energy exposure higher than the FCC limit"; its recommendations remain "Closed - Not Implemented" [GR]. - Children: modelled local fields ">3 dB" higher in brain subregions and ">10 dB" in bone marrow (Christ 2010) [PR, modelling]. - Exposures from separate devices are not summed (FCC 19-126, para 23), and limits stop at 100 GHz (85 FR 19117). 4. REQUESTS (Q5(o), Q16), under HHS's duty to minimize "unnecessary" exposure (21 U.S.C. 360ii(a)(2), (a)(5)): a) Fund lifetime and multigeneration animal studies at sub-limit SARs using current 4G/5G signals, replicating NTP and Lerchl, with oxidative-stress and DNA endpoints. b) Fund a prospective child cohort with personal dosimeters and 20+ years of follow-up. c) Ask FDA and FCC to require SAR tests at 0 mm, with child models and summed multi-device exposure. d) Meanwhile, publish plain distance-and-use guidance, especially for children and pregnancy. CONCEDED: Japanese and Korean 2026 rat studies were null, COSMOS was null, ANSES (2025) found it "not possible to conclude" on cancer, and a 2024 systematic review found male-fertility evidence "very uncertain" (Kenny). That uncertainty argues for research and prudence, not complacency. Full references with links in attachment, if accepted.

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.

HHS Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields, Radiofrequency Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure I am submitting this report today in regard to the health effects that I am suffering from wireless radiation exposure and the medical condition known as Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome (hereafter EMR-S). As a targeted individual, I am also testifying to a greater severity of symptoms that I have suffered from the same wireless technology being deployed as a weapons system. I begin with the question: what is actually happening when we are experiencing EMR-S? Do EMR-S sufferers grow ill from energy passively radiating from WiFi in the normal course of its operation, or are we sick because its beam-forming and steering capabilities have been activated to issue energy to a specific spot with precision aim? When we get tinnitus, is it because auditory nerves are aggravated by the EMR, or is it possible that modulated waves are being issued to engage the hearing mechanism? If one gets irritated eyes, is it merely irritation from being immersed in the EMR, or is there an attempt to engage the retinas for some unknown purpose? Lastly, could it be that sufferers of EMR-S are unwitting subjects in nonconsensual human experimentation, and that those who identify as targeted individuals are the ones subjected to the most severe operations? And might the latter category include whistleblowers being issued directed energy to sicken and disable, to overwhelm their ability to come forward, or to punish and suppress free speech, activism or dissent, toward the goal of establishing a system of totalitarian control? Sun Tzu said: know your enemy and you can win 100 battles. But do we know our enemy? In addition to reporting my medical symptoms, this report also chooses to take a holistic approach to addressing the multi-dimensional problems that I believe need to be addressed in order to give a broader understanding of the kind of networking we need to achieve solutions. See attachments.

I declare the following testimony under penalty of perjury. 1. Because of Tech and Telecom industry money and influence, the general public have no idea how dangerous RF Microwave radiation actually is. RF aka RadioFrequency is pulsed Microwave radiation. RFR has never been deemed safe. For instance RF in the form of mMwave 5G technology has never been safety tested. Forgive my candor but I find it comical the Dept of Health and Human Services is asking for scientific data or documentation when the majority of studies and research has been performed by the U.S. Military and several large universities around the world. The National Toxicology Program Study in 2018 found RF to be a clear evidence of carcinogenic harm. To seek the studies, look at the records for RadioFrequency Microwave Radiation in our own U.S. Government archives. Look at the 2018 National Toxicology Program Study of Cell Phone radiation determining it causes cancer. 2. I have been disabled from chronic exposure to wireless RadioFrequency Radiation or RFR. This exposure started in 1992 when I had a Motorola old style car phone. I had a StarTac phone in 1997. I had the first iPhone available on June 29, 2007. I used Wi-Fi from 2000 until 2012 when I started noticing negative health effects near RF. I was a person who loved technology, until it made me incredibly sick. 3. I was officially disabled under United States Social Security Disability rules. I continue to be sick if I am in a typical public space where there are RF signals. The symptoms that I have near RF microwave radiation are heart irregularities, racing heart over 120-160 bpm and palpitations. I have BP spikes and crashes that lead to collapse. RF increases my blood glucose to over 100 (normally 60-80). I get severe migraines that will result in brain swelling with nausea and vomiting and loss of consciousness/collapse. I developed so many health problems and illness over a 10-12 year period, I honestly lose count when I have to fill out Medical intake forms! I have cPTSD, severe Anxiety, OCD, Major Depression, ADD, Cognitive issues (poor memory, mood) Insomnia, Chronic Fatigue, Tinnitus, muscle spasms and tension, dry skin, dry eyes, digestive problems, adrenal insufficiency, autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's Hypothyroid, Autonomic Dysfunction, skin sensitivities, burning nerve pain and tingling, numbness, vertigo, dehydration from antidiuretic hormone deficiency low Vasopressin, low Sodium and Chloride. RFR has in essence stolen my life. I am limited to being homebound every day, ONLY leaving the home for medical care for the past 7 years! 4. My condition (Microwave illness or Radiation sickness from being injured by RF microwave radiation is not rare. There are over 400 million people around the world who have disabling symptoms near pulsed wireless microwave radiation. So many have lost their jobs because they can't be near wireless tech and they have no homes, no money left, no cars as most vehicles made after 2012 have Bluetooth or wireless internet. They generally cannot use technology so they are not able to file these comments. They have limited access to anything online. We can't use cellphones. So please understand the small number of comments is based on a segment of injured individuals that are unable to even provide a comment electronically. 5. People who have life-threatening symptoms when exposed to RFR microwave radiation are essentially shut out form social life, unable to even go to most medical centers because they are full of high levels or RF radiation and have Wi-Fi, tablets, smart watches, laptops, routers everywhere. One hospital I had to visit had cell antennas on the roof. I had to wear layers of RF reducing clothing and blankets so I would not have a heart attack or stroke, The RF Meter I have showed ambient RF levels at 60,000 microwatts per Meter squared. I had sharp pains in my head and sharp pains in my ears at times even making it through the RF usually when someone had AirPods on within 10-20 feet of me. I have spent a fortune on medical help and treatments I thought may help. There seems to be no way to fully heal when the world keeps exposing people to microwave signals everywhere they go. The loss of friends, work, home, car, savings, and ability to just be able to live normally is tremendously difficult. It’s isolating and unnecessary. People used wired internet perfectly fine and it should be in schools, banks, hospitals, airports, libraries. We all deserve dignity, respect and accommodation. No one wants to live like this. 6. Smart Meters with RF communication have made numerous people ill in their own home or at work. It is a basic human right to be able to refuse a Smart Meter and keep or install an Analog non-communicating meter. 7. Starlink and OTHER satellite internet and mobile services are causing.. NOTE I ran out of space. Attached additional comments as a file.

Since one of this 5G masts was built near my daughter’s school (north London) she’s constantly complaining about headaches. She’s only 11 years old and never had headaches before and she isn’t the only one from her class whose kids are too sensitive now. We’ve measured the radiation levels and although it falls into “safe” exposure, clearly isn’t safe.

I am submitting this report as an individual, and the sources of wireless technology involved are primarily smart meters and Wi-Fi. I am in my eighties and was in excellent health until, in 2020, extended exposures to RF wireless radiation from smart meters and then a neighbor’s Wi-Fi router made me extremely ill, leaving me thereafter with severe electrohypersensitivity and a markedly reduced quality of life. On February 18, 2020, fourteen new smart meters were installed downstairs in my two-story apartment building, about 50 feet from my unit. These meters emit up to 110,000 µW/m2 when measured up close with a Safe and Sound Pro II Broadband RF Meter. Within a week, I began experiencing head pressure, balance problems and heart arrhythmia. On March 22, my heart was behaving so erratically I thought I might have a heart attack. On March 27, a health practitioner discovered my systolic blood pressure was 205 and drove me to the Emergency Room. Two days later, due to continual chest pain, I went back to the ER and stayed overnight. The following day, medical tests were done, including blood work, brain scan, EKG and heart ultrasound. The only problem found was high blood pressure, for which I was prescribed medication. The doctor concluded the cause was “situational,” which, for me, aligned with the smart-meter installation. In the previous year, I’d experienced some unusual balance issues and tiredness, and research indicated these could be effects of nearby cell towers/antennas. I purchased meters to measure each type of EMF in my apartment, and based on RF readings, I decided to shield my windows and get a shielded bed canopy. Readings inside the canopy range between 0.04 µW/m2 and 0.2 µW/m2, making it a safe sleeping space. Over the next few months, my symptoms subsided, and my blood pressure began to stabilize. Then, in July, someone moved into the apartment below (which had been empty for some time) and installed a Wi-Fi router, which ran 24/7. My radiation symptoms returned in full force, and over the next two months, my systolic blood pressure spiked between 200 and 250 almost every day. I was bedridden most of this time, with nauseating head pressure, dizziness, chest pain, diarrhea, and a chronic fight-or-flight reaction. It felt like I was being poisoned, and I was heavily dependent on blood-pressure medication, afraid I might suffer a heart attack or a stroke. Inside my canopy was the only place I could find relief from the pulsating Wi-Fi signal. This acute exposure left me in a greatly weakened physical state, with frequent headaches, balance issues and seesawing blood pressure, ruining my quality of life. For the next three years I was unable to drive and was dependent on friends for food shopping and various appointments. I continued to research shielding options, and bit by bit I shielded all windows and exterior-facing walls, as well as floors and ceiling and a few interior walls. The result was a safer, lower-RF environment, which allowed me to start healing. When immediate neighbors’ routers are turned off, current readings in my apartment are under 10 µW/m2. By 2024, I began driving again and was able to come off blood-pressure medication. Also, by wearing an RF-protective shirt and cap, I was able to go into most stores and drive to the practitioners I needed to see. I am still adversely affected by close-range wireless devices and in high Wi-Fi public environments. And when immediate neighbors have their Wi-Fi on continuously for several hours—even with readings between 50 µW/m2 and 100 µW/m2—I experience head pressure, balance issues and difficulty concentrating, which, if exposure is prolonged, can intensify to migraine, nausea and chest pain. Overall, the most effective handling I have found has been reducing the strength and time of exposure to this radiation. One neighbor turns off his router at night and during the day when he goes to work, which makes a HUGE difference; and on occasions when I have been in a wireless-free environment, such as at a park or on the beach, I have been symptom-free. All life forms on this planet evolved in harmony with the native electromagnetic resonances of Earth, and were never designed to be exposed to the exponentially higher frequencies of man-made EMFs and wireless technologies. Thousands of independent scientific studies have confirmed the harmful effects of these frequencies and their radiation, and several examples pertinent to my own situation are attached. I appreciate and support HHS taking an active role in examining these health and environmental effects, with a view to updating official standards and encouraging—even incentivizing—the development of safer communication technologies, such as lower-radiation cell phones and fiber-optic cable to homes and businesses.
