Thank you for the opportunity to submit comments. I am responding as an individual. I have adverse effects from smart meters, and all wireless radiation. In approximately 2011, unbeknownst to my family, a smart meter was installed on our home while we where away. Myself and other family members came home, and immediately became sick. Adverse health effects include heart palpitations, headache, pressure in the inner ear, earache, post-nasal drip, pressure in chest, "dry" agitated eyes, tinnitus, memory disruption/ loss, difficulty sleeping. Adverse effects were immediate. They stopped once the smart meter was removed, and replace with an analog utility meter. It was clear that the adverse health effects were caused by the smart meter. The smart meter was removed, and replaced with an analog electric meter, and the adverse health effects stopped immediately. Some supporting documentation and other relevant information: - Increased Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability in Mammalian Brain 7 Days After 900 MHz Exposure to the Radiation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19345073 - Cell Death Induced by 900-MHz RF Radiation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17045516 - Electromagnetic Radiation at 900 MHz Induces Sperm Cell Death:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4523914/ - Maternal Exposure to a Continuous 900-MHz Electromagnetic Field Provokes Neuronal Loss and Pathological Changes in Offspring: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26391347 - Fetal RF Radiation Exposure From 900 MHz Affects Neurodevelopment and Behavior in Mice: https://www.nature.com/articles/srep00312 - RF Radiation (900 MHz) Induced DNA Damage & Cell Cycle Arrest in Testicular Cells: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27738269 I experience adverse health effects from all wireless radiation and dirty electricity, as do others in my family. Cell phone towers, small cells, mobile phones, wi-fi, wireless printers (keyboards, etc.), bluetooth, smart devices, cordless phones, smart watches, fit-bits, etc. Years ago, we purchase a variety of RF and other EMF detection meters, and use them routinely. I have had to work with specialists ( Building Biologists) to help mitigate EMF/RF/EMF sources in my home. Summary: Wireless radiation (man-made EMFs) causes me great harm and suffering. Electrosmog (radiation from wireless devices and appliances) is more and more difficult to be away from. Even if I am careful to not use devices that emit wireless radiation, I suffer from wireless radiation from other devices, towers, routers, smart meters, mesh networks, etc., - similar to a non-smoker suffering from second-hand smoke. It is imperative that all people and nature are protected from wireless radiation. Even extremely low frequencies cause harm.

Greetings! Concerning question 18: 1) A better measurement for rf-EMF is necessary, since SAR lumps together situations with extremely different potential for biological effects: SAR measures simply the absorbed energy over 6 minutes in standard cubicles of different sizes. It ignores peaks and modulations of the signal. The problem with that is that modulations might lead to resonance-like effects in biological molecules like Proteins (ion channels, enzymes,) even DNA. The peak intensities in suitable modulation and orientation in space might be responsible for „throwing the switch“ in those molecules, leading to ion influx and disturbed signalling in cells, or impaired mitochondrial funcion. Effects on voltage gated ion channels or the respiratory chain could explain the symptoms of people with EHS to a great extent. Panagopoulos states that in studies with real mobile telephony-exposure, over 95% of the studies find biological effects even below current limits where as continuous-wave exposure with the same SAR, and even „simulated exposure“ with highly repetetive modulation yield ambiguous results. He states that the polarisation and the variability and the modulation in the ELF/VLF-range are responsible for the biological effects, not the SAR. (as stated in the european parliament-workshop). Panagopoulos tested the hypothesis in Drosophila oogenesis and did find different results in different exposure settings with similar SAR. It is deeply concerning that public agencies like the BfS are caught in the circulatory reasoning that due to difficulties with dosimetry in real-mobile-telephony-settings, those studies are excluded for methodological flaws. Therefore, only studies with a small likelyhood of biological effects are considered, which acts as confirmation that there is no danger at all at this SAR. Therefore, no further exploratory research seems necessary.. 2) When testing for electrohypersensitivity (EHS) in provocation studies, it is crucial to take into account: In almost all EHS people, reliable symptom onset is delayed, sometimes by hours, and more so in high-adrenaline-situations like a provocation study. Likewise, symptom-offset is extremely delayed, often by a day or longer. This makes provocation studies hard to do: Required would be: max 1 test per day, without need to travel through traffic or public spaces or places with higher EMF, a daylong reporting-window, and several days of recovery are needed, as well as using real signals as described above. Some backup for my requests: The inadequacy of SAR can be seen when comparing exposure with the same SAR but different signal charactersistics as seen here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mrrev.2019.03.003 (bigger numbers would be nice, but funding seems to be hard to come by). A very good source of information is this workshop of the European Parliament (4 hours): (english starts after a few seconds) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1Kn7pGy3CI Both Panagopoulos (talking about the above points) and Yael Stein provide important insights, if you have only limited time to skim. Yael Stein is a md and proposes different stages of sensitivity - the early stages are characterized by late onset of symptoms and light symptoms overall, the later stages of late offset of symptoms even hours after the exposure has ended, and the symptoms are severe. __ That effects can occur even theoretically can be seen in this preliminary model: (autoimmune d) - this also points to a lack of funding for testing the effects of shielding during sleep on autoimmune disease in a double blind study. This does not take away from the simulation of the vit D-receptor and the result that at least in theory, mobile phone radiation might lead to functional vit D deficiency in humans in general, with very small SAR values. Models like this for the voltage gated ion channels (sodium an calcium might be of highest interest) could be very useful, but so far we don’t have a complete model of those channels (according to the German Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz/FCC-equivalent). Some personal motivation: I know several people who are extremely sensitive to Wifi and mobile phones in use and phone masts, which has led me to look into possible reasons for their reactions (headaches, brainfog, fatigue, clenched muscles, altered circulation in the face - red and white spots). From my experience with them, I can rule out nocebo, since in a place where we had measured extremely low fields, they both had symptoms without expecting them (when they insisted, we measured again and found a switched-off IPAD with strong intermittent signals for location when lost, which had been brought in after the first measurement). I'm afraid the technology also hurts nature and the normal population.(see athem3, bee-fi). Thank you for your consideration. People with EHS suffer greatly and unnecessarily, and might be the canary in the coal mine for the rest.

Hi, I am a resident of Wallington, NJ and I live 1,200 feet away from the Hathaway Street Park cell tower. This concerns me as I moved here approximately two years ago with my family of four. I do not wish to share my name at this time, as I work for a government agency and am concerned that a public record such as this, may negatively reflect on my standing. I would appreciate it, if you look into "our" little town (approximately one square mile) and its six antenna installations. From what I have been able to glean, as public record shows, Wallington's own codes do not conform to the town regulations for "cell tower" distance from residences, schools, or parks. Also, there are no yearly Radiofrequency (RF) reading reviews as is mandated by Wallington policies. Furthermore, residents have no discernible way of knowing if they are suffering any adverse health effects from exposure to Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) or RF Radiation, and no meaningful recourse to mitigating any studies or showings of such thereof. Please, Please, look into these issues as I have two young children and am concerned for my kids health, my families well being, along with "our" communities exposure to adverse health risks. I am not asking for the HHS to muscle compliance. I am simply asking HHS to care enough to give Wallington residents a fair and reasonable response to regulations and safety measures which serve to protect the community and uphold the dignity of Wallington's residence. Especially those that are most vulnerable. Thank you in advance for your care in this matter. Sincerely, Wallington resident, near the Hathaway Street Park cell tower.

I have been intolerant to pulsed radio frequencies since 2004. I get lancing pain through my brain on exposure to certain phones (certain frequencies), burning pain in the soles of my feet. I have had a microneurography test done which shows altered amplitude on a Rasta chart on exposure to mobile phones. Microneurographer says it is likely to be through the Somato sensory pathway. This would be in accordance to my research and other ion channel tests done showing hyperexcitability in ion channel variants. No allowance for people with peripheral nerve sensitivity. ICNIRP acknowledge these are from extremely low frequencies. Public Health England acknowledge 2.08hertz and 8.34 hz from mobiles 10 hz from WIFI. This can be demodulated from the signal via a non-linear system. As per attached you see that the cell membrane is calculated as linear when in fact it should be non-linear which is one mistake. Another is the staircasing error. Instantaneous peaks are then smoothed out by computer algorithms but they are not like this in real life which all lead to a false picture on what is really going on with the nerve system as in real life the nerves will spike. Acoustic blasts will also be experienced as thernoelastic bursts but these also are averaged out per 6 minute intervals. Again not a real life scenario. As an EHS sufferer I experience vasodilation all the blood goes to my feet away from my heart and brain on exposure which has been witnessed at the hospital. I get brain fog where it's like I am drunk - thinking overload of glutamate or ammonia. My memory is like it is completely wiped near a mobile or router. I have extensive research and written a thesis on the matter when I am not in an emf area I can function but I cannot function around WIFI or mobile phones. It has taken away the best years of my life.

Dear Secretary Kennedy, Hi, my name is Rachel Cervone. I am a VERY targeted individual. I have been harassed, stalked, tortured etc. for 6 years daily. I feel this is the last place to get any of my tortured life vindicated. I have been hurt every day by criminals who have taken my life and I have nothing left. I did a research brief on the things that are important to know about the laser weapons being used by the government to torture ppl who they deem to be on a “terrorist watch no fly list”. These ppl have no idea what is happening bc a human brain should not be able wrap their mind’s around such evil especially in the USA. I am a Christian republican who had a huge trump sign in my car in 2024 and I received hate for it, which surprised me. Being from Philly it didn’t make sense why anyone would care what I put on my car. I currently live in Erie, PA . I have been destroyed by the remote neural weopons. I definitely have bad symptoms of Havana Syndrome from being shot up with these weapons every day. Note: that is the is an aggressive attack on my body every day shooting electrical currents through my feet into my body and after several hours my heart stopped and I flatlined in the hospital. I was literally so hot from the currents running through me they had to just step back and watch. There was nothing they could do. They, ( the hospital) had not yet experienced such a heinous act. This happens to me everyday. There are currents that will torture your body by shooting electrical signals into very specific areas of my body. I have lost everything in my life including every member of my family and my life has been over for years. Anything good will be taken by these demon ppl who PUT PPL ON A LIST AND TEST THE WEOPONS ON THIS SMALL GROUP OF VERY UNFORTUNATE INDIVIDUALS. NOTE: I will go into the intricacies of the different attacks I’ve experienced upon request. I just so badly want to give an accurate description of my actual hell on earth. Torture by gangs paid to destroy everything in my life. My health is gone. The weapons can traumatize a human body to the point where I would fall bc my legs hurt so bad. For fun, they disable us ( the massive group of us who are being attacked and preyed on all for the sake of demented, detached ppl who are paid to hurt me in the name of SCIENCE. I am an EXPERIMENT. This is also very much a satanic cult who performs rituals on us and we don’t even know we are under attack. I am laid up on the couch, having lost my health gained so much weight, they take your looks. I was beautiful and athletic, I am now grossly overweight and unhealthy and I don’t recognize myself. The worst part is that it’s hard to remember who I WAS bf the torture from the laser remote weapons and what the torture groups do. I miss myself. I was sweet, fun, kind, empathetic, loving and most of all I LOVE JESUS. My faith has been called on every day. My life has been targeted and God is the only way I have survived each day. So on the bed in the critical care unit, I twitched for 7 hours while violently shaking and vomiting, until the currents stopped my heart. This has happened multiple times. I remember going unconscious and being so warm and floating and so so HAPPY I WAS DYING. Heaven was/ is the only place I want to be now. I have a son and I adore him. He just turned 30. Raising him as a single mom was the best time in my life. I can’t take my own life so I remember thinking that this was the very best thing that could happen and I will now be with my Savior. My son has basically disowned me. I haven’t had our close relationship in years. I miss him. I am waiting on a disability claim that probably won’t go through bc of the wiles of the deep state who has anything that would help you in life. Please call me. I haven’t each touched on the details of the pain and sacrifice I’ve given to “SCIENCE BASED ON SURVEILLANCE AND TORTURE “. I have so much information to give to you bc of all the research I’ve done to “help myself “. I gave up on that years ago. 6 YEARS OF CONSTANT PAIN PHYSICALLY, mentally and emotionally. I NEED TO PLEASE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE MORE CRUCIAL INFORMATION . I was just given this link today and had to rush to get it all in. Thank you, Rachel Cervone 814-304-7794 Rachsep96@myyahoo.com I have pieces of shocking evidence and information. Please call or text. The surveillance team has deleted emails, phone conversations, research. I have what I need to show on paper. Please give me the opportunity to upload files of research. I need to do this.

I appreciate being asked by HHS for comments on this topic. The FCC has not done so in the thirty years since the Telecommunications Act was enacted in 1996. I do not have reason to believe that I have been injured physically. However, I do not want a Smart Meter on my house and Pennsylvania is the only state that does not allow opting out which is a negation of the liberty given to us in the Constitution: “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Many studies have been done over a period of many years that show the effects of EMF’s (Electro Magnetic Frequency) on the health of humans, animals and the environment. For any industry to not test their products for more than thirty years is ludicrous and dangerous. The wireless devices available today are completely different from what available in 1996. Smartphones didn’t even exist yet. 4G and 5G were unheard of. Children are particularly vulnerable to this damage as their bodies are smaller and spend more time outside where they can be near sources of EMR (Electro Magnetic Radiation). The FCC clearly only cares about the bottom line and the welfare of the taxpayers who support them. I learned about the dangers of cell phone radiation twenty years ago, not from the industry, but from independent doctors and researchers. It’s time for the wireless industry to prove the safety of their products. Until then, those products are to be viewed as unsafe and the industry to be untrustworthy. Note the following review: Investigation of the Adverse Health Effects of Cell Phone Radiation and Propose Solutions to Minimize Them: A Systematic Review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11111148/ Sec. Kennedy has promised the American people, “gold-standard science.” It’s time for the FCC to do the same.

#3: I am commenting regarding the FCC's response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals' remand concerning its decades-old highly outdated radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. The FCC should fully consider the overwhelming 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 and critically also bees and pollinators that we all rely on for our food!” *A major review by Germany’s NABU and other NGOs analyzed 190 studies, finding that 72 out of 83 scientifically relevant studies reported negative effects of non-ionizing radiation on insects, suggesting EMR acts as a driver of insect decline alongside pesticides and habitat loss. Here is just one study of many100s I have seen over the years documenting the harmful results of RF Microwave exposure to all biological beings, I believe the FCC and HHS should review: The landmark 2018 National Toxicology Program (NTP) study, which provided comprehensive evidence of significant health risks from radiofrequency radiation (RFR). -The NTP study demonstrated significantly increased rates of Schwannomas and malignant gliomas (brain cancers), as well as chromosomal DNA damage in rodents exposed to RFR levels mimicking lifetime human exposure. −The study is particularly critical for children because their developing bodies absorb higher RF radiation into their brains and bodies during sensitive developmental stages. −Research indicates that children’s brains absorb 2-3 times more radiation than adults, and their skull bone marrow absorbs a roughly 10-fold higher local dose, making the NTP’s findings on DNA damage and tumor growth highly relevant to pediatric vulnerability. The FCC is not a health agency and does not have expertise in medicine, biology, environmental or public health… This issue matters to me deeply because my parents suffered greatly from RF exposures, as well as myself. After moving into a house that had 3 smart meters positioned right outside our bedrooms, we all started having insomnia and low energy. And because we made the grave error of trusting the FCC, and letting the naïve telecom technician install the highly radiating router next to my parent’s bedroom my otherwise vibrant father started to complain of feeling immense fatigue, and having to go to myriad doctors who could not explain this sudden change. That is when I began researching what could be the root cause, as I literally was getting from no sleep to an hour or two a night. That is when I discovered others with smart meters were similarly having many health issues. Then I learned about “electrosmog”. I got a Tri-Field meter and took steps to reduce all emfs in/around our house and had PGE remove the smart meters and replace them with analog – which we had to pay to do so as well as pay an extra monthly rate – which is a crime in itself. I also learned that many other states would not let their customers use analog, which is a much worse crime. The day the smart meters were changed out all of our sleep improved drastically. Being able to sleep again was a lifesaver. I started unplugging the router at night and during the day I draped a faraday cloth over it to try and mitigate the harmful radiation. Although not ideal, it helped and my dad’s energy returned. At that time I didn’t understand how particularly harmful RF was so when the solar company said we should stop unplugging the router at night, my dad started to feel unwell again. The router was positioned right next do his bedroom and behind him in the den where he also spent a lot of time. He never recovered and devastatingly we lost him within 3 years. I am still trying to forgive myself for allowing the telecom tech to put the router in the worst possible location it could be. I started to carry the Tri Field meter and test everything. I tossed the microwave oven and noticed the city had allowed a massive 5G tower across the street from my health food store. Standing in the parking lot of that store, I turned on the meter and the dial shot to the max level allowed on the meter! So I do not buy anymore from that store for obvious reasons. There is an apartment complex right below that 5G tower, which is another crime to those unsuspecting residents. And there are no more birds to be seen in the trees in front of that health food store anymore, where they used to hop around looking for treats from the shoppers. The frequency of nature, the Schumann Resonance 7.83 Hz, which includes humans that our bodies have evolved with has suddenly been replaced with unnaturally and recklessly high man made frequencies in the RF Microwave range - 600 MHz – 39 GHz. We are playing with fire here.

I live in Rio de Janeiro, and I would like to report what happened to me 2 months ago. I consider myself moderately electrosensitive, and I had an episode of brain fog. I am an architect and was in a work meeting. After 1 hour in the same place, I started to feel discomfort and looked for what could be the cause. Generally, it is the proximity to a modem or Wi-Fi router. I didn't want to interrupt the meeting, but 15 minutes later, I could no longer pay attention to what was being discussed in the meeting, nor could I write anymore. The group had to end the meeting outside the venue so that I could continue participating. My most common symptoms were body aches, without explanation and without a fixed location. They could appear one day and not the next. I have also experienced headaches and palpitations, but the intensity needs to be high and for a longer time. I have the Safe and Sound Pro II meter and I was able to verify this.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. As a concerned parent and member of the public, I support further research into the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation, particularly its long-term effects on children and other vulnerable populations. With wireless technology becoming increasingly common in our homes, schools, and communities, I believe it is important that federal agencies thoroughly examine potential health risks, consider the experiences of individuals reporting adverse effects, and identify gaps in existing research. I urge HHS to prioritize independent scientific research, evaluate current safety standards, and ensure that public health decisions are based on comprehensive, transparent, and up-to-date evidence. I have suffered for the last decade from extreme sensitivity to RF and EMF. I have meters that measure both and have been able to confirm over and over that in low EMF/RF environments, my body can rest, but in high environments, I react as if it is plugged in to the wall- my whole body feels as if it is on fire (nerve pain), and I frequently experience arrhythmias in high exposure situations (again, I have confirmed this with my meters). I have been to many doctors, who can not find anything wrong with my heart or body even though they can see it reacting to outside stimuli in a very exaggerated way. I am asking for more study of this problem, as the effects of high EMF and RF exposure have been my family and it is in every public space, at high levels, so very hard to avoid if you are sensitive. My children are also sensitive and experienced very poor health when living near a tower and next to power lines. When we moved to a place that was low EMF/RF, their health issues dramatically decreased. I’d like more research to be done so that we can keep our children and vulnerable populations safe and not degrade the health of everyone else. I’m hoping for more conservative, wise use of technology in the future and I know that the science will show support for that, if it is studied and measured thoroughly and appropriately. Thank you for providing the public with an opportunity to voice these concerns.
