Dear Sirs/Madams, I am requesting that the same level of consideration be given to persons with the functional impairment of electromagnetic sensitivity that would be accorded to any other disabled person. I know that doing so would disrupt great plans, but workarounds have been found for people with other disabilities. The argument that electromagnetic sensitivity does not exist and is just a figment of the sufferers imagination has been debunked numerous times. I attach two studies that I have on hand. I also request that the health of children, in particular, be considered in the deployment of wireless equipment. Prof. Oleg Grigoriev of Russia's committee on non-ionizing radiation protection has said that, while he does not oppose the use of wireless communication, every home should have at least one room with low levels, and that room should be the children's room. Children should also limit the amount of time they spend engaging in high-exposure activities. Wired Internet connections can be installed in schools to reduce children's exposure there. Thirdly, the environment needs to be considered. We face an extinction crisis due to many factors, all of which come back to human activities. I have witnessed a stepwise reduction of biodiversity in my neighborhood as new radiating infrastructure is introduced. The most notable reductions occurred shortly after smart electric meters were installed in the neighborhood and after 5G transmissions began. I attach my most recent observations in rural Japan, which include links to similar observations elsewhere. Most importantly regarding the future of our environment and humanity itself, people are noting a loss not only of pollinators, but of pollen itself, resulting in failure to fruit and sterile seeds when they do develop. The use of wireless radiation should take the environment into consideration and be limited to local urban centers, again ensuring that the full range of necessary services are available to persons who cannot tolerate or who should otherwise be protected from high-EMR environments.

Hello, I am reporting the health consequences that I have experienced as an average human, living an average life, with what I consider low to average daily radiation exposure. I use a smart phone, daily. I have a smart meter on my home from the local electric company. I drive down the streets, that are lined with cell phone towers. I use wifi in my home as an internet option. I use wifi at work. I use the 5G on my phone when wifi is not available. I use my smartphone mostly for texting and for searching the internet/ social media. I am a medical professional, but this is only a report of my personal life experiences. The first time I noted a distinct and obvious negative health consequence from using a cell phone was in 2017. I bought an iphone 10 as an upgrade to an iphone 6 and immediately noted that my hands felt like they were literally burning and on fire when I was holding and using the phone. I immediately contacted Apple, reported the burning sensation, and sent the phone back to them to confirm that it was not defective. They sent it back to me without confirming or denying there was a problem, but the symptoms continued, so I promptly sold the phone and went back to using my iphone 6. My hands continue to feel like they are burning after any prolonged use of a cell phone. I currently use an iphone 14 Pro. Any amount of time using the device causes my hands to tingle. The longer I hold this hand held device, the longer it takes for my burning sensation to recover. If I put it in airplane mode, I have minimal tingling in my hands, in comparison. If I completely stop using any handheld device, my hands stop tingling within a few hours, or a few days, depending on the recent duration of use. I have only had Apple cell phones in the past 20 years. The smart meter on my home has been giving me headaches. I have lived in a home with a smart meter attached to a main living room wall for the past 6 years and am increasingly sensitive to spending any time in that room. The closer I get in proximity to that meter, the worse I feel. I start to feel tense, uneasy, and agitated. I start to get a headache with any prolonged time spent in the living room. I also have the wifi router in close proximity to the smart meter, but I get the same symptoms when the wifi router is unplugged. I have called the electric company and asked for an analog meter that gets read in person, but they told me they do not offer that option. Cell phone towers give me headaches. They also cause a feeling of uneasiness and tension in my body. I was on my honeymoon with my husband, driving from Anchorage to Glennallen, Alaska and we saw an inviting valley where we decided to stop and take a hike. We didn’t note that it was at the base of a very large cell tower (I am assuming it was a cell phone tower but would have to confirm with whatever company owns it). As we climbed the hill I mentioned to my husband that I was getting a very severe headache. Headaches are not common for me in my normal daily life. I have experienced very few, and rarely over my 44 years, except when exposed to emfs. We looked up the hill and noted the giant tower and decided we better start walking away from it, assuming this was the cause. Sure enough, the headache decreased as we got further away. We were unable to enjoy that area and had to continue driving to find a safer alternative for our enjoyment of nature. I have noted similar headaches when driving past certain towers in our city of Anchorage, Alaska. There are certain areas that I try not to drive through because they give me headaches with any proximity. I also note headaches when I am driving on the highway and passing certain large towers (towers I assume are cell phone towers). The headache will start at low intensity and I will make note and look around. Almost always I am able to spot a tower right away. The headache increases in intensity as proximity increases, and decreases as I get further away. I could write much more about the health consequences of the continual broadcasting of radiation from cell towers, smart phones, smart meters, and wifi. I believe it is “cooking” us with high frequency vibration emissions like heat vibrations heat up a pan on the stove to cook food. I believe that we are all being cooked, as well as our pets, animals, plants, and all the molecules around us. Everything is being forced to speed up, causing a host of environmental problems. I have bought an emf reader and have been able to confirm the high frequency emissions from each of the hand held devices in our home, as well as the computers, the smart meter and the wifi router. The health consequences of having these frequencies continually bombarding us will only become more severe as a population in general if we don’t change the trajectory of limitless emfs in our immediate environments. Something must be done. Please, consider my testimony. It is honest and true.

I have experienced tingling sensation at night, feels like vibration coming from my bed. Recently they have installed fiber optic cables. I also feel same sensation with wireless cable boxes. I can't sleep, it wakes me up late times of the night.

Please help our small community in Brookfield, Connecticut despite over 200 signatures from residence to stop the building of 175 foot cell tower literally across the street from private townhouses with hundreds of people and children play and walk and live. We have 3 to 4 towers about 3 miles from here on this community. We do not need a cell tower. It’s not even for our town of Brookfield. It’s for the town of Bridgewater across a beautiful lake that will also be impacted not to mention the bald eagles and the wild animals that we have here. The Sitting Council of Connecticut has approved it without any of our concerns has that answered any of our questions regarding the environment and the danger to the wildlife, not to mention the impact it will have on the health of hundreds of people, especially children. There’s a piece of private land that it’s being built on smack in the middle of all community literally across the street cell towers should never be built among people. Please help us stop the cell tower. We live at Lake Lillanonah Shores in Brookfield CT

I am a member of the public who has measured radiofrequency radiation using the Safe and Sound Pro II meter as well as electric and magnetic field strengths using the ME 3840B from Gigahertz Solutions. My family has been forced to move after developing symptoms including headaches, insomnia, nosebleeds, vomiting, muscle spasms, memory issues, and seizures from exposure to levels of non-ionizing radiation (RF-EMF peak 500,000+ μW/m2, magnetic field of 400+ nT) below the FCC limit that resolved with dramatically reduced exposure (RF-EMF peak less than 10 μW/m2, magnetic field less than 100 nT). Even childrens’ toys have wireless capabilities today. Establishing truly safe exposure levels is essential. I am writing to encourage you to consider the experiences of families like mine, the weight of scientific evidence already available, and the need for further study to protect the public health and to urge you to reconsider the current limits in light of the fact that they are not protective of human or environmental health. I appreciate your time and attention in reviewing the accompanying studies.

Hello my name Keith Berry im being and have been targeted individual for nearly 10 years by a unknown group/ that are using Emf/Rf (MAE) microwave auditory effect to induce sounds and Emf/rf force practice and entrainment test with with frequency attacks (Ahi) with auditory sound produce with rf modulation with nonstop frequency attacks that loop complex physiological torture to brainwashing torture and rf illness constantly relooping phrase doing complete minuplation constantly step by step done nonstop 24/7 ive had been tortured and retortured! These people doing this make it 100% clear about what there doing and keep telling me "not one gonna believe you" "we are gonna keep doing this!" This type of behavior is sick and disturbing and really should be looked into heavily there gotta be safeguards with the growing tech and uses such as this type of criminal behavior. Since this can attack anyone anytime would be great to know for a fact about this than not to, world would be a safer and more happier healthier place to be in without such hidden dangers that hide in shadows that need brought to light and understanding from which everyone needs. Swear on oath on what happening is fact im just begging for this to be taken carefully so all of us suffering from this can live our free healthy live without constant fear. I am willing to help in any questions and willing to fully cooperate with anyone that needs anything to what is stated heer. And apologize for my writing have beem hurt by this for to long just want this to end. Thank you for your time reading this hope this helps and please help.

I am submitting this comment to express my serious concern about the potential health effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure, particularly for children, pregnant women, and future generations. We live in an increasingly connected world in which people are exposed to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields from cell phones, wireless devices, Wi-Fi networks, cell towers, and other wireless technologies. Children are growing up surrounded by these technologies and may experience exposure throughout their lives, beginning during pregnancy and continuing through childhood and adolescence. Given this increasing and prolonged exposure, I believe it is essential that the federal government carefully examine the potential short-term and long-term health consequences. **A particular concern is the potential relationship between EMF exposure and cancer.** The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organization, classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2B) in 2011. This classification does not establish that exposure causes cancer, but it does indicate that the scientific evidence warranted concern and further investigation. Research examining possible associations between radiofrequency exposure and brain tumors and other cancers deserves continued, independent scrutiny. I am especially concerned about children because their bodies and brains are still developing, and their lifetime exposure may be substantially longer than that of previous generations. It is important to determine whether existing exposure standards adequately account for children's developmental stages, potential differences in vulnerability, and the cumulative effects of exposure over many decades. The absence of conclusive evidence of harm should not be interpreted as definitive proof that all potential long-term risks have been ruled out. I respectfully urge the federal government to take the following actions: 1. **Conduct and support independent, long-term research** into possible associations between EMF exposure and cancer, neurological development, reproductive health, sleep, and other relevant health outcomes. 2. **Give special attention to children and pregnancy**, including studies that examine prenatal exposure, childhood exposure, and potential effects over the course of a person's lifetime. 3. **Reassess existing exposure standards** in light of the latest scientific evidence, including whether those standards adequately address prolonged exposure, real-world exposure patterns, and potentially vulnerable populations. 4. **Ensure transparency and independence in scientific reviews**, including disclosure of funding sources, conflicts of interest, research limitations, and disagreements among qualified researchers. 5. **Provide clear, accessible public information** about what is known, what remains uncertain, and what practical measures individuals and families can take to reduce unnecessary exposure if they choose to do so. 6. **Apply a prudent, precautionary approach** while scientific uncertainties remain, particularly when considering children and other potentially vulnerable populations. Reasonable exposure-reduction measures should be considered where feasible without overstating what the evidence establishes. I recognize that wireless technologies provide significant benefits and that scientific research has not established that ordinary environmental EMF exposure causes every health condition of concern. Nevertheless, the widespread and increasing use of these technologies makes it especially important to investigate potential risks rigorously, independently, and continuously. Protecting public health requires more than waiting for absolute scientific certainty before investigating a possible risk. It requires a commitment to transparent research, careful evaluation of emerging evidence, and appropriate safeguards when the health of children and future generations may be at stake. I urge the relevant federal agencies to give this issue serious consideration, ensure that the scientific evidence is evaluated comprehensively, and prioritize the long-term health and well-being of the public. Thank you for the opportunity to submit this comment and for considering these concerns. International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC): The 2011 classification of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). This is a hazard classification, not a conclusion that everyday exposure necessarily causes cancer. National Cancer Institute: Its overview of cell phones and cancer discusses epidemiological research, biological evidence, and the limitations of existing studies. World Health Organization (WHO): Its research on radiofrequency electromagnetic fields addresses the evidence on possible health effects and the need for continued evaluation.

The last few years I've had a decline in my health due to EMF exposure. The first thing I noticed was pain when holding my cell phone, or being on the computer. It took me about 1 and 1/2 years to figure out what was causing the issues by process of elimination. I was working from home until March of this year, when I lost the ability to be on my computer from extreme vertigo, and headaches due to emf exposure. There is also a 5g tower right down the street from me, and my digital emf device readings are dangerously high, only a few feet from my home. The only thing that has truly helped is avoidance, and hardwiring my house. I was seeing a doctor and diagnosed with extreme emf sensitivity.
