ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Please conduct thorough research and investigation into the effects of non-native EMF exposure and wireless radiation on human and environmental health. This technology has been implemented and forced onto all populations without proper informed consent and many people have discovered from their own personal health investigations that they are seriously impacted by this technology. Proper studies must be done and the public must have access to the results as well as policies made to protect human health.

Describes repeated symptoms and measured exposure changes around Wi-Fi, improvement with Ethernet and shi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have experienced clear, reproducible adverse effects from RF, electric, and magnetic fields for over 10 years. For the past five years I have been able to document these effects with simultaneous RF measurements.One of the clearest examples occurred when our Starlink router automatically reset after an update and re-enabled its Wi-Fi radios (we normally run it on Ethernet only). Both my partner and I independently noticed increased irritability, poor sleep, heart palpitations, and inflammation. We did not initially realize the settings had changed. When we measured with a Safe and Sound Pro II meter (200 MHz–8 GHz), we found substantially elevated RF levels. Returning the router to Ethernet-only mode eliminated the symptoms. This sequence has repeated multiple times. Because the exposure change was objective, measurable, and unknown to us at the time symptoms appeared, it strongly indicates the effects are physiological rather than purely psychological.A similar pattern occurred when our HOA installed a public Wi-Fi network with a bridge antenna directed toward our home. The same cluster of symptoms returned. Temporary aluminum SCIF-grade shielding between us and the source reduced symptoms; subsequent deactivation of the device produced further improvement that correlated with a clear drop in measured RF levels. In our experience, levels above approximately 10 mW/m² produce noticeable symptoms.The symptoms themselves are not minor: heart palpitations, disrupted sleep, irritability, depression, increased anger, light-headedness, and reduced immune resilience. These meaningfully degrade quality of life. I am particularly concerned about people who experience these effects without knowing the cause. Persistent, unexplained physical discomfort of this type can contribute to severe distress and, in some individuals, elevated risk of suicidal ideation. This is a form of environmental exposure that is difficult to escape without specialized knowledge and resources that many people lack.Mechanistically, the work of Dr. Martin Pall provides a coherent, experimentally supported pathway. Non-thermal RF fields can activate voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs). Excess intracellular calcium then drives increased nitric oxide and peroxynitrite formation, generating oxidative stress capable of damaging DNA and disrupting normal cellular signaling. This mechanism is documented in the peer-reviewed literature (Pall, J Cell Mol Med, 2013; PMID 23802593) and is consistent with the broader body of studies showing oxidative stress and related biological changes at non-thermal exposure levels.RF is not the only relevant source. Wiring errors can produce elevated magnetic fields associated in some epidemiological literature with long-term cancer risk. High electric fields from unshielded wiring commonly disrupt sleep and can produce tinnitus-like symptoms. Many people report that properly grounded shielding (creating a low-field environment) produces a subjective sense of calm and “quiet.” Dirty electricity—high-frequency voltage transients from smart meters, solar inverters, and other switching devices—is another reported contributor; some individuals note symptom improvement after installation of whole-house filters.I urge attention to sources that individuals cannot readily control: smart meters, cellular infrastructure, and radar systems. These can affect entire buildings, schools, and communities. I also encourage coordination with cellular carriers, utilities, and relevant government contractors to reduce population-level exposures where feasible.Looking ahead, SpaceX and others are developing space-based direct-to-cell services. Frequency selection matters biologically; 2.4 GHz, for example, coincides with a resonant range used in microwave ovens and is known to interact strongly with biological systems. It would be valuable for government agencies to evaluate whether certain frequency bands produce measurably lower (or even negligible) biological disruption compared with currently dominant bands, especially for systems that irradiate large ground areas from above.In summary, a decade of personal observation, repeated objective measurements correlating with symptoms, and the existing scientific literature leave me convinced that current ambient EMF exposures produce adverse biological effects in at least a subset of the population. Reducing the most pervasive uncontrolled sources, improving public education on practical mitigation, identifying particularly susceptible groups, and incorporating biological considerations into spectrum and infrastructure decisions would meaningfully improve population health and well-being.

Reports symptoms near smart meters, workplace towers and phone systems, improvement after relocation and …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 am responding from the perspective of a patient and concerned member of the public. I first noticed symptoms of EMF emissions around 2013 when my electrical co-op installed smart meters for 4 adjoining townhouse units on the wall of my end unit outside my bedroom at the head of where my bed was located. I began experiencing sleep disturbances, headaches, and tinnitus that diminished when away from home and returned when at home. I would occasionally have dizzy spells. I had bouts of disorientation sometimes while driving usual routes. My doctor found no reasons for these symptoms. Between 2015 and 2018 I worked for a church which, unknown to me, had a cell tower hidden in their steeple. While working for them, I would experience tinnitus and headaches at work and began to have more frequent dizzy spells at work and home. On occasion, I had severe attacks of vertigo and nausea at work that required medication and time off from work. I suffered something like a mini-stroke that resulted in awakening to severe disorientation one morning. My doctor found no heart conditions, clotting issues, or hypertension issues. After learning of the cell tower at work in 2018, I began to suspect EMF could be causing my symptoms. I quit that job and moved to a more rural part of the state to avoid the growing number of cell towers near my condo. My symptoms decreased and I bought an EMF meter to monitor my home environment. I hard-wired my computer, and eliminated all wifi from my house. My symptoms have improved significantly. I still suffer from bleed over from my neighbors’ wi-fi and from the power lines running in front of my house. I recently spent about 2 ½ hours shopping in 3 adjacent stores within 200 yards of a newly installed cell tower and suffered the first severe bout of vertigo and nausea since leaving my job at the church with a cell tower. Since moving, I have worked at two different jobs requiring constant communication over VoiP phone systems causing constant tinnitus and headaches. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. The biological effects should be studied without limit to thermal effects. I would like to see ELF become an additional priority as the magnetic fields from power lines increase my symptoms as much as RF. With data centers bringing increased need for more power and high-power lines being forced upon residential areas in nearby Virginia, I am deeply concerned about a growing cancer cluster among school children in that state just over the state line from me. The data centers also bring concerns about extremely low frequency effects on pollinators, farm animals and people. There is little existing research on these effects. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations—for example, those like me with autoimmune thyroid disease and Lyme disease--and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.

A patient advocate argues that FCC limits overlook cumulative and pulsed exposure, proposes metal-amplifi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Patient Advocate for Victims of RF/EMF Exposure P.O. Box 1039 Roseville, CA 95678 (916) 692-4999 PatientAdvocateEMF@proton.me October 20,2026 The Honorable Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Secretary U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 200 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20201 RE: Public Comment on Request for Information (RFI) regarding Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure (Docket No. HHS-OASH-2026-0397) FCC Faulty Exposure Safety Standards: One of the things I learned is that the FCC exposure limits neglect to account for accumulated exposure. Their standards are for exposure related to a few minutes and up to 40 minutes. We are all generally exposed to EMF/RF frequencies for more than 30 minutes. So, there is no such thing as "safety" based on FCC limits. Doctors Untrained at Nonthermal Dielectric Burning: Also, the FCC and mainstream scientists and doctors generally hold the attitude that "If the given EMF/RF are not thermally burning a given person, they are not dangerous or harmful, but when they are burning a person, they say, "That is a rash, not a burn." First of all, the vast majority of scientists and doctors have no training on this matter as they lack the very basic knowledge to know the difference between a myriad of different types of skin rashes and burns. Next, there are many studies out that clearly show the various harms that EMF/RMF causes at various power levels and frequencies. The FCC states no harm is being done when clearly it is being done. In summary, doctors are not aware of or trained in nonthermal burning or dielectric burning when the bodies cells are vibrating at millions of times per second so that friction is caused by rubbing against other cells!!! Heavy Metals in the Body Magnify, Amplify, and Radiate Heath Caused by RF/EMF: Next, the FCC does not consider heavy metals in a person's body that may reflect, magnify, and/or amplify various EMF/RF. So, a given EMF/RF can be hitting a victim at a given power and frequency only to have the effects of the EMF/RF change in effective power upon hitting the victim’s body. This is a way for the FCC to hide and keep the discussion focused on the power of the EMF/RF before it hits the person's body and not after it enters the person's body. The Heavy Metals of Polonium and Hafnium can be Delivered into the Human Body by RF/EFM: In my case, hafnium and polonium are those amplifiers. Polonium and Hafnium can be ingested through a plasma process of RF/EMF. These particles can be in the air, caried by RF/EMF and ingested into the human body. The Polonium later turns to Lead-206 which is kept in the body and in the bones. RF/EMF can be Pulsated Like a Rifle to Cause More Physiological Damage while at the Same Time it Hijacks or Interrupts the Software of the Brain – This is Termed Entrainment: Next, the FCC does not consider the pulsating nature of EMF/RF frequencies. There are frequencies that are sent out and sent in pulses where the given frequency goes extremely high every second or every other second. The FCC likes to claim averages. The FCC can then claim the averaged power of a group of pulses is low. The problem with this FCC method of measuring is that when the power of EMF/RF is sent to the victim in very high bursts of power separated by lower bursts of power, there is an effect called "entrainment" where the sudden burst a t very powerfully in a strategic way. What happens is the pulsating bursts literally hijack a person's organic electrical system and change it which dysregulates and scrambles a victim's electrical software system, it is called "entrainment." When EMF/RF highjacks and scrambles a victim's organic electrical system, Once a victim's organic electrical system has been changed, the victim's body can take on a myriad of melodies such as neurological symptoms, loss of vision, loss of mobility, dizziness, headaches, cognitive dysfunction, the ability to swallow, loss of weight, pain in the ears, tinnitus, balance issues, eardrum pain, headaches, neurological collapse, executive collapse, disassociation, phantom limbs, pins and needles all over the skin, internal body vibrations, tremors, convulsions, and almost any neurological symptom imaginable. Entrainment Allows the Weaponized System to be Under the Safe Averaged Wattage and Exposure Limits of the FCC, etc. These pulsating, amplified, and cumulative EMF/RF waves are weaponized by these strategic and tactical leverage dynamics while at the same time, they look like pure innocence because they are "under the FCC's 'safe limit!'" The problem is as the saying goes, "The devil is in the details, which everyone neglects to take into consideration. The details can be everting. Not investigating, not questioning, no researching, not looking, not seeing, not studying, and not knowing is not an excuse that will do any of us any good. Instead, it is killing...

A forensic engineer requests reproducible real-world exposure assessment and disclosure, questions newer …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Perspective (Q2): State-licensed professional engineer; forensic engineer and expert witness. Background I am a state-licensed Professional Engineer, B.S. Civil Engineering. I perform forensic investigations and evidence collection for causation analysis, and have prepared expert reports and been cross-examined on them. In 30 years of construction and civil engineering experience, I have managed the handling, cleanup, and legal disposal of a wide variety of environmental toxins, including PCBs, lead, asbestos, hazardous chemicals, and special waste. I have U.S. NRC radiation training and have performed engineering work at U.S. nuclear power facilities. Performed close interval surveys (CIS) and direct current voltage gradient (DCVG) surveys to determine elevated voltage potentials and stray current along utility corridors. Managed pipeline current mapping (PCM) projects using RF equipment to determine current leakage and pipe construction defects. Analyzed EMF field surveys, electromagnetic modeling, counterpoise design, and corrective actions by the local power provider and railway operator to mitigate induced AC voltages on commuter railroad tracks during repair and replacement operations, protecting railway worker health and safety. Managed development and installation of devices at nuclear power plants used to monitor buried pipe networks for cathodic protection effectiveness under NRC and industry integrity programs. Performed field evaluations at nuclear power plants and other industrial sites of piping systems for electrochemical corrosion and stray current using radio frequency and electrical resistance testing equipment. Q5(p), Q7, Q8: Exposure characterization Real-world RF/EMF exposure varies continuously in power, duty cycle, pulse modulation, and compounding multi-source overlap. Most lab and animal studies, including NTP, used artificial signals from laboratory signal generators at fixed parameters, not real device emissions. Time-averaged power density and whole-body SAR do not capture peaks, pulse characteristics, duty cycle, or cumulative multi-source exposure. Assessments should measure and report them. Industry-funded RF/EMF exposure surveys and compliance testing, including cell phone carrier site compliance reports, should disclose the instrument, bandwidth, detector type (RMS vs. peak), averaging time, calibration, uncertainty, and measurement locations. Reports that omit these cannot be independently reproduced or verified. HHS should give them no weight until raw data are available for third-party review. Power-frequency magnetic fields: developers and permitting agencies cite ICNIRP’s 2010 guideline (2,000 mG) as health-based. It protects only against acute nerve stimulation, not long-term exposure. IARC classified these fields Group 2B (2002) on childhood leukemia associations near 3-4 mG, about 500 times lower. It also does not protect implanted medical devices: ICNIRP states compliance “may not necessarily preclude interference with... cardiac pacemakers and implanted defibrillators.” Q6, Q12, Q16: Weighting negative studies In forensic practice, a test that could not have detected a condition does not prove its absence. Absence of evidence from an insensitive design is not evidence of absence. The 2026 Japan and Korea “validation” studies fail that test. They departed from the NTP design in three important ways (Melnick et al., Environ Health 25, 66, 2026): Omitted high dose. They tested a single exposure level (4 W/kg) and dropped NTP’s highest level (6 W/kg), where its carcinogenic effects were most pronounced. Departed from FDA and OECD guidelines. Both require at least three dose levels plus a control for dose-response trend analysis. A single-dose design cannot detect a dose-dependent trend. Overlooked signal. Despite limited power, the Korean study found heart schwannomas in 3% of exposed rats versus 0% of controls, matching NTP’s incidence at 3 W/kg, yet the authors dismissed it. These studies cannot override the 2018 NTP two-year study (TR-595), which found “clear evidence” of malignant heart schwannomas in male rats and “some evidence” of brain gliomas and adrenal tumors. HHS should not treat a study as refuting a positive finding unless it matches or exceeds the original’s sensitivity: same animal model, comparable group sizes, multiple doses, and documented statistical power. Q16, Q17: Research priorities Fund new animal studies that repeat NTP at equal or larger scale with three or more exposure levels, run by scientists with no financial ties to the wireless industry or to the bodies that set the limits being tested. Fund exposure studies that replicate real-world conditions: variable signals from actual phones, routers, and towers, and compounding exposure from many simultaneous devices in high-occupancy settings such as classrooms. Require studies HHS relies on to disclose who funded and advised them.

Criticizes FCC oversight and industry influence, calls for updated independently tested safety standards,…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The FCC is a captured agency whose revolving doors include commissioners that are former CEOs, lawyers and lobbyists of the telecom industry. The FCC has refused to update their safety standards since 1996, even though a $25 million dollar industry-funded research concluded that wireless radiation raised the risk of brain tumors. Those 1996 safety standards only considered the thermal effects of wireless radiation for brief exposure...no long term exposure to the exponentially stronger electromagnetic radiation of today's technologies. In August 2021, the FCC was ordered to update their safety standards in the federal case Environmental Health Trust,et. al. V FCC supported by over 11,000 scientific health and safety studies. Yet the wireless industry has proceeded as if this ruling never took place. Updated safety standards for human health are long overdue and must be integrated into systems to protect Americans NOW. The world's largest insurance companies have responded by excluding any liability coverage for claims "directly or indirectly arising out of, resulting from, or contributed to, by electromagnetic fields, electromagnetic radiation, electromagnetism, radio waves or noise." Lloyds of London and Swiss Reinsurance Company have put wireless radiation in the highest risk category, next to smoking and asbestos. 30+ countries around the world including the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, India, Australia, New Zealand and Brazil have banned Chinese-made 5G technology because of national security concerns. Wireless broadband is not cyber secure, it's unreliable in bad weather, it's a proven fire hazard, it's untested for EMF safety, it uses much more energy than fiber-optic and its giant equipment is aesthetically offensive. Only fiber-optic cable direct to homes and businesses delivers speed-of-light internet connection that will meet the needs required for next generation programs and services, with no threat to cyber security because it can't be hacked and it poses no health risk to humans or the environment. Californians have already paid for fiber optic to their homes in their phone bills over a 20+ year period. The IRREGULATORS vs. FCC lawsuit in 2020 exposed the largest accounting scandal in American history where telecom corporations fraudulently funnelled the money already paid by their customers for fiber optic to the premises into wireless technology instead. Where is that TRILLION DOLLARS now? I implore you to update safety standards NOW, using third party testing, NOT funded by the wireless industry.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 am responding from the perspective of a patient. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. My experience began with a garmin smartwatch. It was a gift. I was hesitant to access the Bluetooth feature for the first year or two. When I got a new iPhone I connected it and decided to try the Bluetooth feature. After seven months I had three different skin issues on the back of my left hand. One of them was diagnosed as squamous carcinoma and required surgical removal. I stopped wearing my watch after the July biopsy. My sister also had squamous carcinoma on the back of her left hand. It would be wise for HHS to investigate these instances to protect individuals from unwittingly exposing themselves to potentially harmful situations. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

Reports severe skin, sleep, cardiac and digestive symptoms attributed to wireless sources, rural relocati…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
1. & 2. I am responding as: an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…) Mobile phones, mobile phone masts, Wi-Fi, smart meters, Bluetooth, etc. 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years): Approximately 20 years. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:My body tingled and itched. The itching was relentless. It continued throughout the night making it impossible to sleep. My skin cracked and was extremely sore. I had 3 or 4 baths every night throughout the night when most people were asleep. The condition was worse when the central heating was on. I was unable to tolerate it. Tingling of the spine which acted like an antenna and felt like I was being electrocuted. My skin also had serious burns, particularly my face, neck and lips. My lips felt like they were on fire and were so badly burned that they swelled up to 3 times the size. Massive stomach bubbling and pain at the same time in the early hours of each morning when nearby smart meters transmit and feed back their data, lasting over an hour. I have to press my skin hard to reduce the pain. It also causes rapid heartbeat and I had to sleep in the car. I even moved house to a rural area away from friends and family because of it after over 30 years at the same house. I have spent a fortune trying to recover my health yet most people refuse to believe this condition exists. Nothing I bought helps much other than avoidance. In fact, all my retirement savings have gone on trying to recover my health and rather than enjoying my retirement by visiting my son in New Zealand, this is something that I can no longer afford due to the amount of money I have spent. 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects: It began when my body had had enough and when family used more devices and neighbours got smart meters. I was also within half a mile of approximately 10 mobile phone masts, some had beams of intensity directed at the bedroom windows which i was able to tell when the rooms were tested with an EMF meter. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?Initially I sought medical advice as assumed I had scabies or shingles. There was never a true diagnosis. i was just prescribed steroid creams. i also sought advice from alternative practitioners and natural health doctors. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?I bought a sleep canopy, grounding sheets, EMF protective clothing, EMF testing meter, vitamins, etc. i slept in various rooms in my house trying to find a safe area and even slept on the floor in my utility room! 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information: Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's: B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:i get pains at the bottom left side of my stomach from a laptop that is using Bluetooth B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:EMF's have given me tinnitus which I think is hearing the EMF's. B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed:Wiring the computer with an ethernet cable with the Wi-Fi turned off. B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):Radionics therapy and wearing a Rezotone device help a lot. Applying Kombucha to the skin burns helps cool the skin. Blushield devices used to help previously but not any more and did not prevent the skin burns. B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless:Being prone to hayfever and allergies B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant:Tinnitus. Sore, burning eyes. Cataracts. Worsening eyesight. Flaky skin on the legs. B3. For each subquestion please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any) B3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure:Radionics. Rezotone. B3b. That you recommend, but you’re not positive that they help:Sleep canopies, grounding sheets and earthing mats. Homeopathy. B3c. That helped you but you don’t recommend. (e.g., the benefit did not last long or the side effects were too harmful): B3d. Treatments that had no effect: B3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse:65-74 B4. What is your age range?65-74 B5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields?2006 or 2007 B6.

Questions whether a husband's persistent head pressure relates to nearby electrical infrastructure, oppos…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I hope someone is finally going to listen and hopefully fully investigate, update outdated laws and do something to something to help persons who are caught in these situations. I'm writing in regards and concerns about my husband's health. Several years ago we bought a home and poured our souls into fixing it up and making a nice home for ourselves. There was a substation behind our home that was not substantial at the time. Years later Indiana Michigan-AEP came in and significantly added to that along with putting up to very tall poles in our front yard. One of which sets entirely on my property. Nothing we could do as there was a easement in place since the 50's we were unaware of. These poles are horrible to look at but also are sitting across from our bedroom. Shortly after these poles were put into place and operational my husband started experiencing headpressure. Not a headache but pressure from the inside that makes his head feel like its going to burst. It has affected his life daily as its there 24-7 as well as his quality of life. He can't fly on a plane as altitudes increase it. We have tried for years to find the cause such as a neurologist,ENT, orthopedics, had his vision tested, multiple visits to family dr., er visits, MRI and multiple other test without any answers. He still suffers daily and we are lost on how to find a solution or a diagnosis. He shouldn't have to live his life this way! I seriously have to wonder if its something to do with the overhead lines and poles in such close proximity to our home. To make matters worse Indiana Michigan-AEP want to lease a section of land directly behind my home 350 feet to erect 186 ft. cell tower. You can imagine our concerns health as well as property value. I fought this and it was turned down for health reasons only for the city to be sued. Then it went before the local BZA once again. Again I fought. Drafted a petition , letters from local realtors, loads of other information. Unfortunately there are FCC laws from 1996 that prohibit a local BZA for turning down a permit due to health reasons. This is ridiculous. Cell phones were barely a thing in 1996. It's time to reevaluate as the technology as drastically changed in 30 years. This kind of infrastructure should not be allowed to be in this close proximity to residential areas. There are to many unknowns at this time and people like us are the guinea pigs. Protecting health shouldn't come after harm. It should come before it. Even Hud- US Department of Housing and Urban Development classifies cell towers as "hazards and nuisances". Because of this classification and their impact on marketability, Hudson guidelines require appraisers to consider the proximity of nearby cell towers when detetermining the valuation of single - family residential properties. This is all of great concern to my husband and myself. These undiagnosed health issues that plague him everyday of his life and the way they have destroyed the landscape of our property as well as devaluation. We have worked extremely hard and are not in a position where we can pick up and move. I urge you to do more research and update these out dated laws appropriately and to not benefit these large companies and consider the human life's that are drastically being affected in multiple ways.
