I’m convinced there is more than a correlation between increasing 5g use, low flying air traffic, and WiFi internet and cell call drops increasing. I spend a lot of time outside and my phone frequently will slide into airplane mode when there is lower flying air traffic.

When Kennedy, via Children's Health Defense (CHD) asked for information about smart meter radiation injury, I sent him all kinds of proof that persons who ask for an analog opt out meter from utility companies who got Smart Grid Investment Grant funding from the Recovery Act Smart Grid Investment Grant are supposed to, by the law, be allowed to have one for free no questions asked. I am myelin injured, similar to gulf war illness, and I am a civic activist. To retaliate against me for writing about how Southern Company/Alabama Power is owned by 中国, as are all of our utitlities and also most all large companies. They have used the meter as a military grade electromagnetic microwave radiation assault weapon against me and my back yard tree. I gave Kennedy contact information for the two men to did the grant and showed them where a document was removed at the DOE when Obama was lame duck. I have an email from the DOE IT contractor, where they finally told me in Dec 2019 they were asked to delete their copy of the document that told about the analog meter opt out. I have struggled with sleep deprivation, and sleep interruption, as well as anemia, foot and leg cramps, and other health problems linked to the dirty electricity and electromagnetic microwave radiation that they continue to flood my small home with non stop. I feel like they are killing me and my tree. I can show you what I sent to Kennedy at CHD. Kennedy's staff at CHD who did the request for smart meter injury information has what I sent to him. I think he is fake and only doing this to try and keep the people who came with him to vote for Trump, to keep them staying with Trump.

I am Naturopath 3 a) My initial reaction started 2000 after a traumatic life event, coupled with exposure to a wireless burglar alarm and DECT cordless phones. b) In 2005, I was living in a town centre on a level with the masts on the telephone exchange roof. When I went out, I improved. Upon return, I was breathless, fatigued, needed support to stand, could not sing lullabies, had a swollen tongue, weight loss. c) I had a Near Death Experience, waking in the night with no heartbeat because I’d stopped breathing - after 8 months of living 30m from the primary boom of the nearest of six 3G masts, with 4 antennae each. I spent 2 years bed-bound, being fed, and carried to the toilet. d) The direct correlation between exposure and onset of symptoms was established retrospectively in 2010 when it was observed that symptoms got worse when I used a computer with a wireless internet booster. e) The GP was unable to diagnose EHS because the NHS do not recognise it as a medical disorder. In 2022, Dr Damien Downing, Harley Street, London confirmed the diagnosis of EHS. f) Removal of Wi-Fi and DECT gave immediate relief – I was able to walk up and down stairs again. Subsequent exposures, including unknown ones, confirmed the pattern, eliminating the nocebo effect. I could feel signals due to the severe Pain on the side of my head nearest the emitter, splitting headache, hot head, dizziness, utter fatigue, which would last for weeks/months. Reduced exposure in the home allowed slow improvement. Relapses worsened symptoms, and added new ones every time, making recovery ever more challenging. g) EXPOSURE CALCULATIONS 2.3 GHz radiates at 160 Wm2 so 3G radiates at 146 Wm2 16 antennae at 146 Wm2 = 2,336 Wm2 4 antennae at 146 Wm2 = 584 Wm2 Calculating 10% less is 526 Wm2 Exposure was 2,336 + 526 = 2,862 Wm2 ICNIRP maximum exposure for the public is 10 Wm2 for an average man 2,862 Wm2 ÷ 10 = 286.2 Occupational exposure is 50 Wm2 with a time limit of 6 minutes 1440 minutes per day, 1440 ÷ 6 = 240 I was exposed to 240 times the recommended occupational radiation exposure duration 24/7 for 8/12 before becoming seriously ill. The SAR limit 4 W/kg is based on an average man 175 cm tall, 70.46 kg I weighed 8st 5lb / 53 kg. 53 x 4 = 212W, my safe exposure limit. But, I was exposed was 3,212 Watts. 2,862 Wm2 ÷ 212 = 13.5 I was exposed to 13.5 times higher levels of radiation than I could physiologically tolerate without permanent damage (which I did) according to government, ICNIRP, & SAR limits. The safe exposure limit for an Average man: 70.46 × 4 = 281.8 = 282 My SAR limit as a percentage 212 ÷ 282 x 100 = 75% & can tolerate 25% less radiation 2,862 ÷ 7.5 = 381.6 => 382 I was exposed to EMR 382 times higher than physiologically safe levels according to government guidelines and now suffer EMR-Syndrome/Electro-hypersensitivity. 4 h-k) I observe similar symptoms in others, esp. sensitives who have had life trauma, e.g., headaches, anxiety, depression, insomnia, fatigue, not able to cope. All relieved by reducing exposure. l) Applied Kinesiology tests using homeopathic samples or the device are always conclusive. m) Studies should not use “simulated” signals, but actual devices in relation to the human Biofield, to detect actual physiological responses. 5 n-p) I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation rather than leaving it to the Big Tech firms to prove safety. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health. The experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence and non-peer reviewed studies. A classification system would be most useful. The Russians have done the most research, and they have the lowest exposure limits. 1996 ICNIRP Guidelines should be updated to be safety levels for the smallest and most vulnerable in society, not a 70kg man. 6 – 8) Please see attached 9) Greece and Japan have active information campaigns to raise awareness. UK and US governments need to recognise EMR-S/EHS, and regulate EMR so tech companies have to provide non-biologically active signals. 10 – 15) Please see attached 16 - 17) The highest priority research gaps are in non-thermal effects, and genetic damage. 18) WE ARE THE EVIDENCE: “Canaries in the mine”, being excluded from society. I am worried that I will not be able to work, do banking, order groceries, contact family, or call in an emergency. The planet cannot wait another year. Please Recognise EMR-Syndrome, and Act Swiftly!

Please stop thinking about money and start thinking about how human beings, especially the most vulnerable, are being harmed by this.

Please care about people and stop the “smart meters.” They are unhealthy for people and the environment.

I am extremely sensitive to cellular, wireless, and bluetooth frequencies. I basically cannot be around them as I suffer from terrible headaches when I am exposed. It has made life very challenging as I can't be "out in the world" without feeling ill or around people. Very few people can relate to this and it seems to offend people if I ask them to turn their phones off around me. I dread the future as these wavelengths are more and more prevalent. Luckily, for now, I live in a place where I can have a wired phone and internet connection and we don't have cellular coverage. I am a canary ... this stuff is dangerous. I do want to provide my name, as I don't want to receive any backlash from making a public comment about something so controversial.

its really annoying to feel attacked by this technology.

This submission is from the perspective of an Independent Environmental Health Researcher, and focuses on evidence in support of the use of acoustic monitoring as a complementary approach for characterising and better understanding the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) environment, as part of new research and regulatory compliance efforts. A short note which highlights some data from recent field research, undertaken as part of the International Acoustics Research Organisation’s Acoustical Characterisation of Human Environments research initiative (iaro.org.nz) is attached, with a slidedeck from a recent presentation given at a research workshop on sensory aspects of the energy transition. The examples provide evidence that electromagnetic pollution and natural phenomena can also be observed acoustically, and suggest that there is significant potential for advancing exposure science through taking an integrated approach. I have also attached Prof Dennis Henshaw’s recent paper with Alasdair Philips ‘A mechanistic understanding of human magnetoreception validates the phenomenon of electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS)’ as key evidence that should be used to inform future research. I believe that it is important that a sensory approach is incorporated into assessment, and besides physiological measures, this should be informed by existing and new research on High Sensory Perception and Environmental Sensitivity. Finally, I have also attached a summary of Prof Gerry Pollack’s recent book ‘Charged: The Unexpected Role of Electricity in the Workings of Nature’ as key evidence/reading for informing future electromagnetic radiation health research.

HHS should treat low-frequency magnetic emissions from televisions and monitors as an exposure, children's programming first. RF limits rest on heating, specific absorption rate, and power density. They do not describe image-driven magnetic pulses in the band that overlaps the electroencephalogram. A set can meet a heating limit and still emit them. Airborne-speaker limits below 20 Hz answer a different question: magnetic fields pass through tissue and do not depend on a speaker cutoff. The source is the display and its electronics, driven by ordinary programs. The field comes from image-intensity changes, power circuitry, and, on older tubes, deflection. Meet the Teletubbies (1:01:43): a soundtrack spectrogram from 0 to 100 Hz, aligned with the picture, showed intermittent and at times dense energy below 50 Hz and below 20 Hz. The strongest sustained cluster below 20 Hz was near minutes 51-54, in insert and outdoor segments. The study does not establish intent or a neurological effect. It is a case for measuring the magnetic field at the set, not only the audio file. FCC RF rules and the IEEE and ICNIRP guidelines center on heating, SAR, and power density. A pulsed field near 1/2 Hz, 2.4 Hz, or the 6-20 Hz calcium window is a different quantity. Public Notice FCC 74-78, 44 FCC 2d 1016 (Jan. 24, 1974), at 47 CFR 73.4250, calls subliminal broadcasts contrary to the public interest whether or not they work, because they are meant to deceive. That covers a hidden message, not a measurement of the receiver's field. 5(n)-(p). Measure time-resolved flux density at stated distances so picture-locked pulses show, and disclose it first for children's programs. Nothing routine asks whether program and display together make pulses in the lab and patent bands. A spectrogram or a heating calculation will not. Sort by frequency, field strength, modulation, pulse pattern, and duty cycle. Distance, daily hours, and years of viewing are what accumulate. SAR and power density miss the field. Adey circle, excised brain, not a child watching television. In chick and cat cerebral tissue, a weak electric sine at 6 and 16 Hz cut calcium efflux about 12-15% in a narrow amplitude window; neighboring frequencies and amplitudes did not. A review put the ELF window near 6-20 Hz and about 10-100 V/m. Carriers at 147 and 450 MHz, amplitude-modulated at 6-20 Hz, raised chick-brain calcium efflux about 15% near 1 mW/cm2; unmodulated carriers did not. The low-frequency pattern was treated as active, too weak to heat tissue by a tenth of a degree. Bawin and Adey, PNAS 1976;73(6):1999-2003. Adey, Radio Science 1982;17(5S):149S-157S. Rat hippocampal slices, 1 Hz sine: 56 and 560 uT rms destabilized intervals of rhythmic slow activity; 5.6 uT did not. The paper ties that rhythm to memory in the slice, not to mood or sleep stage. Bawin et al., Bioelectromagnetics 1996;17(5):388-395. Loos patents claim weak stimuli at resonances near 1/2 Hz (relaxation, sleepiness, autonomic sensations) and near 2.4 Hz (slower counting, eyes closed). U.S. 6,506,148 B2 (Jan. 14, 2003) claims pulsed images on monitors and TV tubes emit weak fields that can excite them, embedded in a program or at an intensity the patent calls subliminal. Also U.S. 5,935,054 (1999), 6,091,994 (2000), and 6,238,333 B1 (2001). A patent is an inventor's claim, not a replication. No current standard tests that display path. https://patents.google.com/patent/US6506148B2 Viewing studies do not isolate a field. JAMA Pediatrics 2024: early program viewing and poorer cognition, r = -0.16 (95% CI -0.24 to -0.08), PMID 39102255. JAMA Pediatrics 2019 (Adelantado-Renau et al.): TV viewing and composite academics, effect size -0.19 (95% CI -0.29 to -0.09), plus language and mathematics, PMID 31545344. Observational and multifactorial (content, sleep, household). They justify measuring the field that travels with the program. They do not prove an electromagnetic cause. Disclosure for parents, schools, childcare, clinicians, and local governments: frequency content, pulse pattern, typical and peak flux density, and picture-lock, comparable across sets. An RF heating statement is not that. Children do not consent and cannot detect the field, and the associations above are in children and adolescents. An adult heating limit does not score a repeated childhood exposure. Publish the triaxial time series at the seat for children's programs, including Teletubbies. Test 6,506,148-type pulsing and Adey-window fields on a pre-registered endpoint, and report a null if that is the result. Say whether equipment authorization already discloses the emission. FDA can require the measurement under 21 CFR subpart J; receivers are electronic products. NIH should separate content from the field. CDC needs a metric other than hours of screen time. Until the data exist, tell parents and schools that the set's field during these programs has not been characterized in these terms.
