I've suffered from Seizures almost all my life, and its stolen near everything from me, agitated by EMFs and RFs and Dirty Electricity. It wasn't until I was 28 after seeing world renown specialist from across the globe that I on my own tried EMF reduction tactics like filtering powerlines, shielding wireless, using grounded devices and hardline connections that I recovered enough to walk and have my eyesight repair, migraines that never ended recovered. I'm the canary in the coal mine growing up in southern CA and later near Scilicon valley since my pre-teen years of age in the late 90s into the 00s. We'll all suffer more and more as signals add up and pollute each other. We need to use software on wireless that puts the device when not in use like the JSR-eco Router, saving our cyber security and electricity as well as our bodies. Education in this field will spur on not only engineering but biological intelligence in the coming generations too, demystifying this technology through its physical and biological interactions. It took almost a decade to repair my lifetime of nerve damage to the extent I have which isn't total, but 7 seizures a week is much more than now 2-3 a year. I remained HYPER sensitive to foods and wireless radiation swelling and having radical inflammation so great I can have a seizure or not process food the next few days, small scale seizures for a few days that burn and hurt and make it dangerous just to stand and go to the bathroom are then common after being on a train or near a cell tower too long. Please consider Xemes coating on the towers that exist and angle them up away from residential zones, school, hospital, ect. just like radio and airplane tower signals are supposed to be. I have an IQ tested by Sandford of 138-147 and studed neurology and computer science, I was an olympic level swimmer too, now i'm and unemployed cripple and try everywhere I go to help those I see with mounting symptoms and they're getting worse. Powerlines aren't being well maintained and conduict standards are being lowered to pvc instead of steel, most houses I've lived in I've called power companies and they find the power pole to not even have a grounding wire in the conduit tube it having rotted away long ago. The telecom companies would jump at a chance to market "a radiation safe company" if you set standards like the organic food crazy, try using that on them. Titanium with Vanadium should be used on and with cases for wireless like routers/modems, and reinvesting in this with our new steel systems would be a great boon in modernizing tech while creating potent economic opportunitiesa, longer lasting too. Please do what you can, the pain is never ending. God Bless

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I have experienced health problems from wireless radiation exposure. I first experienced problems when cell phones came out, years ago. I had dizziness and feelings of pressure in my head. I thought it was just the phone originally. As more wireless became available in computers and streaming TV, I realized I was continuing to have problems with the head pressure and dizziness. I do not think we know all the dangers associated with these technologies and that the government should do much more research before allowing them. I think children can be especially affected since their bodies are still developing. I support HHS in studying this issue more carefully. Please give particular attention to the research of scientists and any gaps in research. I appreciate your willingness to hear comments from the public.

My name is Sarah Aminoff, and I am a member of Safe Tech International, and a San Francisco, California educator. San Francisco has been a key test ground for driverless robotaxis, and being part of that experiment was not what I was thinking during student field trips to Golden Gate park. People are able to opt out of TSA Airport Scanners due to cumulative radiation concerns, but not Waymo robot taxi exposures, yet both use millimeter frequencies. Since 2024 onwards, it has been hard to reduce exposure to Waymo, given California Public Utilities Commission has also approved expansion. Waymo Robotaxis send out millions of radar sensors to create a 3D picture, using millions of radar millimeter sensors or laser pulses that impinge on an automobile or pedestrian and its a complex EMF soup. The Robocars use three primary sensors: cameras, LIDAR and radar. Radar uses millimeter wave frequencies to provide Waymo with crucial details like an object's distance and speed. LiDAR uses laser beams to create dense, accurate 3D maps. The Waymo 5th Generation, has 29 cameras, six radar sensors tracking larger objects and four LiDAR sensors, which use laser pulses to "see" the car's surroundings in 3D. To answer HSS question 5n and 8  The FCC still fails to capture ubiquitous and aggregate exposures. An aggregate signal analysis has yet to be done for driverless vehicles. Most of the compliance with federal standards are typically claimed for only one set of lights or emitters, as the FCC regulates RFR and Millimeter, yet on the Waymo 5th Generation there are 51 sensors. Time averaging dosimetry should not be permitted, especially for mmWaves and RF, as peak exposures that fall within FCC limits when time averaged over 30 minutes, can have serious non-thermal bioeffects at a cellular level potentially inducing reactive oxygen species and DNA, and sperm damage, according to International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF). With driverless vehicles, radiofrequency radiation (RF) in the MMWave part of the spectrum and near IR poses possible deep thermal heating effects, yet the FCC relies on 30 minute dosimetry, averaging in peak exposures. Environmental Health Trust shares science research around the millimeter frequency concerns, including:  “A 2021 paper “Millimeter (MM) wave and microwave frequency radiation produce deeply penetrating effects: the biology and the physics” by Martin L Pall PHD reviews the science on how MMwaves can have highly penetrating effects  stating that “in humans, MM-waves have penetrating effects including impacts on the brain, producing EEG changes and other neurological, neuropsychiatric changes, increases in apparent electromagnetic hypersensitivity and produce changes on ulcers and cardiac activity”   To answer Question 5 The FCC assessing for one vehicle only, not multiple car exposures is a gap in knowledge. According to Ron Kostoff in his article on radar and cars, ‘If you’re walking on a crosswalk in front of stopped traffic, you….could be exposed directly full body to a million microwatts/square meter.  And, there’s no glass or metal to absorb or block the radiation.  And, that’s with the assumption that you’re being radiated from one car only….what we really need to get are the codes the auto manufacturers use to compute actual radar exposures to car occupants and pedestrians. If some of the radars are mounted on the front bumper, then small children walking a crosswalk are most vulnerable. “ Time Averaging in Evaluating Dosimetry Levels in Smart Vehicles by the FCC is an inherent flaw. Technologies get approved without sufficient pre-market testing is another gap, see John P. Thomas’ article, Health Impact News “Will Driverless Cars Cause DNA Damage and Cancer? April 15, 2018.”   We need to know Waymo will tag a pedestrian as an ‘object detected” with a velocity vector as a moving target and an obstacle to avoid. People are being mapped with radar, lidar, ultrasonic signals and were also captured on optical cameras that use IR and LED beam lights. The LiDAR, Radar and Camera sensors can detect images from hundreds of meters. These are artificial exposures targeting every square centimeter of the body. Many autonomous vehicle incident were reported to: Block traffic Trap cars at the curb Enter construction zones Enter crime scenes, fail to follow directions Hit a cat and dog, also child Get in the way of emergency vehicles And yet, state and federal agencies allow children to ride in robot taxis (Waymo with adult supervision, or parental consent) while the FCC and agencies fail to include children’s unique biology in guidelines. Driverless vehicles have multiple sensors, when children are exposed to Waymo et al, e.g. idling outside schools. A new study from Europe found children have higher RF absorption rates than adults.

Thank you for this opportunity to share the public concerns with exposure to RF 's. I personally have fought in a local level to stop the installation of a verizon tower within 500 feet of our property line to no avail, the concerns about these towers in close proximity to homes is very real for my neighborhood. Putting the pressure on local counties to regulate these telecommunications companies is a disaster. The regulations need to be updated to match the current studies and real life repercussions of exposure to such high levels of RF's.

See attached file(s) Protect Our Children First: Urgent Call for Updated, Science-Based Wireless Radiation Safety Standards To: Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) My name is Zen Honeycutt, and I am the Founder and Executive Director of Moms Across America, a national educational nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering mothers and families to create healthy, non-toxic environments for our children. On behalf of Moms Across America, I am calling upon the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), in coordination with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), to undertake an immediate, comprehensive, and transparent reassessment of federal radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure standards, with particular attention to children's developing bodies, long-term exposures, and potential biological effects beyond tissue heating. The FCC's current RF exposure limits were adopted in 1996 and subsequently retained. Although these standards address established adverse effects associated with RF exposure, they have not been comprehensively revised to reflect the enormous changes in wireless technology and patterns of human exposure over the past three decades. Today, children routinely encounter wireless devices in classrooms, homes, and public spaces. They may experience exposures from multiple sources over many years, beginning during prenatal development. The fact is that close and constant exposure to devices such as routers in homes, wireless access points in schools, and hot spots in hospitals harms human health. We believe this exposure environment warrants renewed scientific scrutiny, independent research, and reasonable precautionary protections. The federal courts have already recognized the need for greater accountability. In Environmental Health Trust et al. v. FCC (2021), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit found that the FCC had not adequately explained its decision to retain existing RF exposure guidelines with respect to potential harmful effects unrelated to cancer. The court directed the FCC to address several important issues, including: Potential effects of RF exposure on children Pulse variations and possible changes which could reduce harm Health implications of long-term exposure The widespread use of wireless devices and technological developments The adequacy of existing device-testing procedures Potential environmental impacts on trees, animals, aquatic life, and insects This decision provides a compelling legal and public-health basis for renewed review of existing federal protections. We request action. Th ecell phones and router can be made safer by altering the pulse variations. The manufacturers just nee dto be required to do so. Please see the attached comment for further details. Zen Honeycutt

My name is Zen Honeycutt of Moms Across America and I am submitting additional information for your consideration.

I am opposed to a proposed cell tower installation (Vertical Bridge/ Verizon) across the street from our NH family home of 50+ years for many reasons including: exposure to electro magnetic fields, wireless radiation exposure and radio frequency radiation. I am concerned for the environmental impact of these towers for myself, my family and grandchildren. Thank you for listening!

To Whom It May Concern: The "The American Secret Police" book was written and published to inform the American citizen that remote directed energy weapons have been and are being used against innocent people in this country. It also addresses the federal agency responsible for these illicit activities. It is currently being distributed from coast to coast in the USA as well as internationally. You can certainly purchase your copy on Amazon Books. Sincerely, Jimmy Hobson

I have known about my severe Electromagnetic Frequency (EMF)/Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) sensitivity since 2018. This malady has changed my life in a bad way. It forces me to live the life of a hermit because I cannot be exposed to EMF radiation which happens if I leave my house. I will describe the symptoms that I get when I am exposed to wireless, Wi-Fi, cell towers, antennas, fluorescent lights, LED lights, electrical fields in walls, magnetic fields in walls, Dirty Electricity in Breaker Boxes, household lamps that have metal in them, wireless in automobiles, magnetic fields in electric cars, etc, etc, etc. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on work to make my house safe for me to live in. I have to spend this money for my life – meanwhile the telecom industry gets to make tons and tons of money to make me sick ….. It is very unfair!!! My symptoms go through a progression – based on the exposure time and the severity of the EMF situation I am in. Also based on the exposure time and the severity of the EMF event, I have a recovery time with different symptoms. My initial symptoms – are a warning from my body - that I had better get out of there ASAP!!! INITIAL PROGRESSION: When I initially get into an EMF situation I get dizzy, foggy, headache, nauseas. When I get these feelings, I immediately leave wherever I am. If I get out of there immediately, my recovery symptoms are minimized. NEXT PROGRESSION STEP: This occurs in stores, friends’ houses, any gathering of multiple people (whom of course all have wireless devices going simultaneously). I quickly progress into a situation where people think I am having a stroke. Although I can think of what I want to say, I am unable to articulate the words. I start slurring speech. missing words, only getting like 1 in 5 words correct. The first time this happened I was at a Thanksgiving event. I was in the living room and started not being able to say the words I could clearly think. When I looked around the room, there were about 20 people in the room, and I counted 8 cell phones and I-Pads out that were being used in the room. When my frantic host drove me home (30 minute drive) – within 15 minutes of leaving her house – I was starting to be able to speak correctly. When we got to my house - 30 minutes away – I was totally fine as far as language was concerned. I did have residual exhaustion, unable to make a decision and brain fog for several days afterwards. WORST CASE SO FAR: The worst case I have had so far has to do with AT&T. I had fought with them for a number of months that I wanted a modem WITHOUT Wi-Fi. They kept saying that I could turn off the Wi-Fi on the web. The problem is that they kept turning the Wi-Fi on from the web. They did it during the day so that when I started getting sick I would go out onto the web and turn off the Wi-Fi and call them again that I wanted a modem WITHOUT Wi-Fi. So one night I woke up in the middle of the night – HUGE symptoms – dizzy, nauseas, I COULD NOT THINK – I was extremely weak. Somehow I had the consciousness and determination to crawl to my office and pull the plug for my modem out of the wall. It was hours before I was able to get back to my bedroom. This was the worst case of residual symptoms I have had - I was unable to function for a week from this experience. After that week, I fired AT&T – I had been a customer of theirs for 42 years. I beg you – please please please pass some laws to rein in the telecommunications industry. Childre are so sensitive to the EMFs – my heart is wrenched when I see a small child with a cell phone near their head. I have heard that the radiation from EMF/EMR is cumulative. I was a computer programmer for IBM for 21 years. We had test floors that were as big as a football field. I suspect that I got a ton of radiation during my years at IBM. I cannot go out to you because of the EMFs. However I do have a PC with wires- and a telephone which is connected to the wall. I am happy to talk to anybody who wants to gather data about real life experiences with EMF sensitivity. Sincerely, Florence Gans
