Question 3 Personal experience I first noticed symptoms around 2009, but I did not understand what was causing them. I went to an engineering school that twas known for its connectivity and they recently upgraded the school network, I had to start commuting.
 My symptoms include tingling in my extremities and body; head tension; widespread sustained muscle tightness; brain fog; and fatigue. Over time, I began recognizing a pattern in when they occurred and which environments I could tolerate. From 2012, the problem became more pronounced after I installed one of the faster Wi-Fi routers on the market including dual-band with 5 GHz capability. This created problems, while other wireless environments were tolerable. I lived comfortably for years with older equipment, yet experienced symptoms in particular homes and workplaces.
 In 2020, triggering episodes became more frequent and disruptive with certain routers and some cellular exposures, specifically after the new repeater tower rollout in March 2020. 

More recently, newer phones have become an everyday challenge. The iPhone 17 Pro for example will trigger symptoms within seconds of being within a couple of feet. I have also experienced this response in a blinded test along with other devices. Oddly enough I have no issues with iPhone devices before 15 Pro.
 For these newer phones specifically, cellular triggers symptoms as if its home router, while Wi-Fi-only operation is generally better tolerated. In addition newer Wi-Fi routers and satellite-internet equipment also trigger very very strong episodes (the starlinks are extremely harsh on my system). 

For personal use I obtained was a modifiable router - JRS Eco - and adjusting the beacon setting changed/reduced the intensity of my response, but doesn’t change my issue.
 An encounter of around ten seconds from a strong device can begin a reaction that takes hours to recover from. Continued exposure makes the symptoms build. After leaving, they gradually decline. Fatigue can be the last thing to clear. That said I return to my normal baseline if given space to recover. Severe episodes, recovery can take days.
 When fully recovered, I work, exercise regularly and enjoy an active social life. But repeated episodes can be debilitating: I lose hours of functioning to reactions that took seconds to begin. Recovery does not resolve the disruption of being repeatedly triggered in ordinary environments.
 I work with several medical practitioners, but we have not identified why my body responds this way. We have tried many approaches to help manage recovery, but have not found a reliable way to prevent the reactions.
 Question 5 Exposure assessment Please assess modern cellular handsets, infrastructure, Wi-Fi across generations (including Wi-Fi 6/7) and satellite-internet equipment, covering sub-6 GHz and mmWave exposures. Measure frequency, modulation, pulse rate/timing (important), duty cycle, peak/average power, beamforming, and simultaneous transmissions.
 DO NOT treat absence of tissue heating as a complete answer about safety. Investigate whether membrane properties, sodium/calcium-channel regulation or cellular signaling can be affected independently of heating. Determine whether any changes disrupt normal biological function, particularly in susceptible individuals. Question 11 susceptible populations Investigate susceptibilities or response thresholds that population averages could miss. Document both triggering and tolerated conditions, rapid onset, build-up and declining recovery. Account for normal functioning between episodes; a normal assessment should not automatically end an investigation.
 Question 16 Research/clinical priorities I want research that connects the physical exposure to a biological mechanism and then to a useful treatment. Please investigate: * Changes in voltage-gated calcium & sodium-channel activity. * The membrane–channel interface & factors that could alter channel sensitivity. * Calcium regulation, mitochondrial function and inherited or acquired differences that could affect susceptibility and recovery. (My hypotheses, not mechanisms I claim) 
 Investigate whether susceptibility can be reduced while preserving normal function, with independent replication and transparent reporting. PLEASE develop clinical pathways so patients and their doctors have somewhere useful to turn for evaluation and treatment. Success should mean being able to work, sleep, travel and participate in ordinary environments—not simply recovering faster after leaving them.
 I am not interested in becoming a recluse or living off-grid. I want to live my life. For people experiencing this, the need is not only an answer about exposure standards; it is an explanation of what is happening and a medically useful way to address it.

This is in response to your RFI Questions 16-17. Please see the following article from the December 2025 issue of Frontiers Public Health entitled: “U.S. policy on wireless technologies and public health protection: regulatory gaps and proposed reforms." https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/public-health/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2025.1677583/full

I am a person disabled by exposure to radiofrequency radiation.

To whom is may concern, Im relieved at the thought that the impact of Cellular Infrastructure, EMF's, RF Radiation and Wireless Radiation could actually be studied and responded to. Our current laws do not protect us from what modern day technology is exposing us to and consequences of that concern me greatly! We want current research and property safety structures as well as the ability for small local communities and governments to have autonomy and the option to choose where we want to allow cell towers and small cell antennae. Our local board of supervisors has been sued for voting in favor of our community and siding with our concerns of a tower being 100 feet from family homes and close enough to fall on houses. This is awful for the people who live their lives and invest in their homes and community to be denied the right to choose not to have a 150' cell tower just feet from their homes. The fact that health and environmental concerns regarding these technologies cannot be used as evidence or argument to protect our families and environment is criminal. The FCC who benefits financially from these towers should not be in control of laws and regulations surrounding local governmental rights and the rights of a community to choose what we live with. Health effects from EMF's, RF Radiation and Wireless Radiation Exposure NEED to be studied by non-biased groups to that our health and safety can be protected, not profits of parties who benefit from this technology. It's time to protect our children, elders, animals and community as a whole. We don't ask to get rid of these technologies, but to understand their impacts so that we can make informed decisions that protect our safety while still providing people with needed modern technology. Health and safety is paramount!

My health and wellbeing have been severely compromised the last three years due to emf’s. When I first noticed that I felt ill whenever I entered my house, I struggled for months to determine who would be wiling and able to assess why that was happening. Eventually I learned about building biologists, but shortly thereafter learned that none of them were in Maine. With the help of a building biologist in Virginia, I was eventually able to have my house assessed. I learned that the rf levels were extremely high. After getting rid of WiFi and operating firm Ethernet, I felt some relief for a month. Then suddenly my electric bill leaped from 200 per month to 1000. With another assessment, I learned that I have extremely high levels of dirty electricity. I lived with every fuse turned off for another year and a half to mitigate the problem. Eventually I sold that house and moved only to have a problem with dirty electricity again in the new house. Again I had another assessment done and was given suggestions to mitigate the problem. I am just beginning to implement some of the things he suggested. I have CLL, which has gotten steadily worse due to the emf issues I have had. I know that I and other EMF sensitive people are the canaries in the coal mine. We feel what others are experiencing also, but may not notice. I so wish that peoples’ health mattered more in our country than profits and venture capital,

FCC regulations regarding cell phone towers and cell phones are 30 years old. The technology has advanced considerably since the 1990's, the regulations should as well. There have been numerous long-term studies conducted on all forms of cell phone associated emissions form virtually every first world nation world-wide and the overall consensus is that there is harm to ALL living things based on proximity to the towers and the devices themselves. Stricter regulations have been implemented in dozens of countries based on these long-term studies, yet the United States continues to lag woefully behind. It seems that capitalism and profit trump safety and health. I suggest reading the attached Final Report of the Commission to Study the Environmental and Health Effects of Evolving 5G Technology. The FCC's power re: cell phone technology allows the agency to run roughshod on the welfare of the citizens of the United States and it needs to change.

• Wireless radiation disrupts lymphocytes by opening calcium channels (VGCC's) in cell membrane and increasing intraceullar Ca2+ (Puri et al, 2019, attached), thereby assisting bacterial and viral infections. • Cell phone radiation impairs DNA repair in lymphocytes https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/1 • After 30 days of exposure time, 1 h/day EMF exposure resulted in significant decrease in immunoglobulin levels (IgA, IgE, IgM, and IgG); total leukocyte, lymphocyte, eosinophil and basophil counts; and a significant increase in neutrophil and monocyte counts. These changes were more increased in the group exposed to 2 h/day EMF. Vitamin D supplementation in EMF-exposed rats reversed these results when compared with EMF-exposed groups. In contrast, 7, 14, and 21 days of EMF exposure produced nonsignificant differences in these parameters among all experimental groups. We concluded that exposure to mobile phone radiation compromises the immune system of rats, and vitamin D appears to have a protective effect. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27901344/ • GSM cell phone radiation microwaves under specific conditions of exposure affected human lymphocytes similar to stress response https://www.researchgate.net/publication/3165836_Nonthermal_GSM_Microwaves_Affect_Chromatin_Conformation_in_Human_Lymphocytes_Similar_to_Heat_Shock • As compared to the control group in the radar operators a statistically significant decrease in the total T8 cell count and a significant increase in the IgM level was found pointing to the radiation induced disorders in lymphocyte system. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2131394/ Read more on effects of wireless radiation and 5G on the immune system https://mdsafetech.org/immune-system/ Studies that shows that wireless radiation affects vitamin D and glutathione: • Marshall 2016 reported wireless radiation lowers vitamin D receptor (VDR) activity by changing the shape of the VDR, thus impairing VDR activity and its ability to bind with vitamin D, and that this effect peaks at just under 6 GHz https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Trevor_Marshall2/publication/305254443_Electrosmog_and_autoimmune_disease/links/5785e9a008ae3949cf546f52.pdf?origin=publication_detail (Wi-Fi uses 2.45 and 5 GHz, but just recently, WiFi using 6 GHz was introduced in 2020 https://blogs.cisco.com/networking/wi-fis-new-6ghz-spectrum-is-a-new-frontier) • Belpomme et al, 2015 reported vitamin D deficiency can result from inflammation caused by chronic wireless radiation exposure http://www.ehs-mcs.org/fichiers/1454070991_Reliable_biomarkers.pdf • Garaj-Vrhovac et. al, 2011 found that radar workers, after 10 years, had glutathione that was more than 50% lower than non-radar workers. “The glutathione concentration in the exposed group was significantly lower than in controls (1.24 vs. 0.53) whereas the concentration of malondialdehyde was significantly higher (1.74 vs. 3.17), indicating oxidative stress. Results suggests that pulsed microwaves from working environment can be the cause of genetic and cell alterations and that oxidative stress can be one of the possible mechanisms of DNA and cell damage.” Results were statistically significant (p<0.05). Average exposure levels for radar workers were no higher than 0.00000835 W/kg, or 8.35 E-6 W/kg, well below government exposure standards (FCC Whole Body SAR limit is 0.08W/kg average.) http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1438463910001069 (my highlighted copy attached) • Deluca et al, 2014. https://www.hindawi.com/journals/mi/2014/924184/ found reduced levels of glutathione and impaired detoxification ability in those with microwave sickness (EHS). Risk of EHS development was increased 9.7 times in individuals who are missing two genes GSTM1 and GSTT1, which are glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes that detoxify by conjugation with glutathione o a statistically significant lowered level of antioxidant/detoxification enzymatic activity of GST (glutathione S-transferase) in EHS compared to non-EHS (~1.9 in EHS vs. ~2.5 in non-EHS, p=0.000001, see Figure 5a) o a statistically significant increased level of antioxidant/detoxification enzymatic activity of GPX (glutathione peroxidase) in EHS compared to non-EHS (~24.9 in EHS vs. ~22.8 in non-EHS, p=0.012151, see Figure 5b)

For decades till now I've been a targetted individual, but since 2018 the targetting got painful due to an unconsented poison attack by islam extremists & 5G. Terrorists target me & my family with Palantir neuro weapons appliences, using EMF, RADAR, SONAR RF, nano plasma, LRAD's, DEW, WBAN/web3 biometrical interfaces. I'm being tortured till injured, causing heart attacks, strokes, losing consciousness, paralysis. They (by DEW) shoot and cut the inside of my brains, ears, joints, heart, lungs, reproductive organs and all organs. They aborted embryo's from a distance. The neuro weapons also burn my skin, leaving burn marks, scars and cuts until it bleeds. The V2K/RADAR/SONAR bash my head with low frequency infra sound that only I can hear. The islamo extremists and corrupt officials hack and steal our data & traffick it, they traffick humans, kids and do morbid trade. These extremists also do gangstalking 24/7 survellance. I cannot function. I'm a Govs whistleblower. I try to include a video of plasma they insert in my body by shooting nuclear particles.
