inventhealth.care respectfully request The Department of HHS to extend the comment deadline by 30 days. The RFI requests evidence across distinct scientific, technical, public-health, and regulatory issues, including exposure measurement, existing safety standards, vulnerable populations, environmental effects, cumulative exposure, and federal research priorities. It expressly invites supporting studies, datasets, technical reports, and regulatory analyses. The current 30-day period is insufficient to permit interested parties to assemble and verify such materials and submit a technically grounded response.
Thirty additional calendar days would permit respondents to verify sources, assess the relevance and limitations of technical evidence, consult appropriate subject-matter experts, and submit better-supported information. The requested extension would provide 60 calendar days in total from publication of the RFI, while leaving the Department free to continue reviewing materials already received.
An extension would improve the quality of the record available to the Department before it uses these submissions to inform future recommendations or policies. The request is limited to 30 additional days and does not seek to delay the Department's review of comments already received.
Respectfully Submitted,

On March 23, 2024 my life changed forever. I don't think I will ever be the same. The electric company came to install a new smart meter. That night I experienced heart palpitations when I laid down. I did not sleep a wink the entire night. Every few seconds I would experience a jolt of EMF radiation that brought me to wakefulness. In fact, I did not sleep at all for 4 nights. After that I was able to sleep for 1 hour to 1.5 hours a night. This went on for at least 9 months. I experienced vertigo continually and especially when a cell phone was turned on. We turned off all radiating devices, and I felt a little better but not much. I was forced to purchase EMF protective clothing which helps a little but not enough. I attempted to have the electric company remove the smart meter but they refused. After several weeks, anxiety and depression set in. I have never in my life had any of these before. After about a month I started losing weight. I lost 1 pound a week in spite of the fact that I was eating twice as much food as previously. I lost a total of 26 pounds over 26 weeks. I had to eat 4 meals a day. If I ever got to the point where my stomach was empty, it felt like my body was digesting itself. I have been to numerous doctors, chiropractors, nutritionist, and body workers of all types. I have purchased devices to try to neutralize the EMF radiation. Some things helped a little and some not at all. About a year and a half later, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and I am trying to recover from that. All together I have spent 100,000.00 to attempt to recover my health. I don't think I will ever be the same again.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this very important topic! I have been very concerned about the increasing amount and strength of EMF from all sources, especially the ones that the general population does not have an option to opt out of, like smart meters, cell phone towers, 5G, etc. There are numerous health studies that I have heard about from Europe, where scientists have been studying the effect of man-made radiation on people, and the results are catastrophic. I am especially concerned about children. I myself am sensitive to radiation, and depending on the strength and length of time of the exposure, I get headaches and nose bleeds. I also have a child who had a health issue that is very likely to be at least partially caused by radiation damage, but definitely has been effected negatively by exposure. My child's symptoms range from flu like symptoms to bone and joint pain. I would love if the negative health effect of radiation exposure at any level would be more seriously investigated, and European research and limits would be studied and utilized in the United States as well. Sincerely, a concerned mother and citizen
I am extremely concerned about the rapid expansion of wireless towers near our homes, neighborhoods, and schools. These towers are being installed everywhere, often without families having any meaningful say in how close they are placed to where we live and raise our children.
This recently became very personal for me when I learned that a new tower is going up approximately 0.3 miles from my home… my family’s safe space. I am angry and deeply upset that infrastructure transmitting RF radiation can be placed this close to homes without stronger protections for the families who live there.
I am especially concerned about children. They spend hours every day at schools and daycares and potentially have an entire lifetime of wireless exposure ahead of them. We need more independent research into long-term and RF exposure, especially in children.
There should absolutely be mandatory minimum setbacks between wireless towers and homes, schools, and daycares. I believe they should be at least one mile away or more! Every tower should also be independently tested after installation and regularly thereafter to determine how much RF is actually reaching nearby homes and schools. Those measurements should be publicly available so families know what levels are reaching the places where they spend their lives.
Technology is advancing quickly, and our research and protections need to keep up. Parents and homeowners deserve transparency, meaningful community input, independent testing, and the ability to feel safe in their own homes. Please put the health and well-being of our children and communities first.
Urgent Legislative Action Required: Protecting Citizen Rights and Holding Telecoms Accountable for the 5G Infrastructure Deficit
As a citizen and a consumer, I am submitting this comment to demand immediate legislative intervention regarding 5G network deployments and telecommunications marketing.
For years, telecom conglomerates have used grand promises of technological revolution—combined with fear-based marketing tactics—to coerce the public into expensive 5G data plans. However, the reality we face today is a severely fragmented network, unstable connectivity, and unfulfilled promises. While these corporations reaped record profits by charging premium rates, they systematically failed to invest in the robust infrastructure they guaranteed.
Furthermore, the forced phasing out or artificial slowing down of stable legacy networks like LTE has stripped citizens of their right to affordable, reliable communication. This is no longer just a market issue; it is a failure of consumer protection and public interest.
Therefore, I urge lawmakers to enact strict legislation that:
1. Penalizes deceptive marketing and holds telecom companies legally accountable for infrastructure deficits.
2. Enforces mandatory refunds or rate reductions for areas where promised 5G speeds and stability are not met.
3. Guarantees consumer sovereignty by protecting the right to access affordable, reliable, and unthrottled legacy networks.
Public airwaves and national infrastructure must serve the common good of the citizens, not the insatiable greed of corporate monopolies. We demand accountability, transparency, and immediate legislative action.
See attached file(s) I am doing my best to expose a major multiple systems problem that goes way beyond human biology and crosses into many systems responding simultaneously to multiple exposures. We are more than human and what we are is much broader than our system realizes, and the narrowness of our systemic structures fails us.
Any efforts to protect the public from potential harmful effects of electromagnetic emissions is greatly appreciated. Precautionary measures are important. Also important is to take seriously the concerns and requests of those who have been harmed due to electromagnetic emissions.
