Thank you for this opportunity to comment. I'm an attorney and I'll get straight to the point. As you may know, in the US, personal‑injury suits against telecom companies for harm from RF/EMF radiation have a very low success rate, and there is no well‑established "winning" strategy. The two walls that defeat most of these cases are (1) proving medical causation — courts require you to show your specific illness was caused by the radiation, and the US scientific record has not met that bar — and (2) federal preemption under Section 704 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, which bars local/state regulation of towers based on health risk and has been used to preempt state tort claims. Government action is long overdue. There is much the HHS can do to help electromagnetic radiation (EMR) victims in the United States. To wit: 1. Upgrade the NTP carcinogen classification (biggest single lever) The National Toxicology Program (part of HHS) already found in 2018 that RF radiation is "reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen" — the weakest tier in the Report on Carcinogens, based on a 10-year, ~3,000-animal rat study. If HHS upgraded this to "known" human carcinogen, it would: Give plaintiffs a federally endorsed causal finding to cite at summary judgment, directly attacking the #1 barrier (causation) Support failure-to-warn claims: if the government classified the hazard, defendants can't argue they "didn't know" Be hard for courts to ignore — federal agency findings carry substantial evidentiary weight 2. Fund and publish definitive human epidemiology NIEHS (NIH) could run or commission a large prospective cohort study of RF exposure and specific health outcomes. A published HHS finding of a dose-response relationship would be the strongest possible causation evidence. The current NIEHS position — "the probability that EMF exposure is truly a health hazard is currently small" — is what defense lawyers cite to kill cases. 3. FDA: set lower performance standards + require warnings FDA has authority under 21 CFR Part 1030 over RF-emitting electronic products. It could: Lower MPE limits below current FCC levels (which are based on thermal effects only, not non-thermal) Require warning labels on devices — this is critical because it converts a failure-to-warn theory from speculative to straightforward Require premarket chronic-exposure safety testing for new wireless technologies 4. CDC/ATSDR: issue a formal health advisory A CDC advisory stating that RF-EMF exposure is associated with specific health conditions would create a recognized standard of care that defendants deviated from. It would also give plaintiffs' medical experts a federal source to cite when opining on causation. 5. NIOSH: set occupational exposure limits NIOSH could issue recommended exposure limits for workers near towers and in wireless-intensive jobs. While advisory (OSHA enforces), these limits create a benchmark for what "reasonable" exposure looks like, supporting negligence claims. 6. Medical education and clinical guidelines HHS could direct that: EMF exposure history be taken as part of standard medical intake Clinical guidelines be developed for evaluating patients with RF-sensitivity symptoms Medical school curricula include EMF health effects This helps plaintiffs document their injury in a way courts currently find unconvincing (many plaintiffs' symptoms are dismissed as not medically recognized). The irony to note: Setting specific federal exposure limits could backfire by strengthening the implied preemption defense (courts argue that where the FCC has set a standard, state tort claims are displaced). The sweet spot for HHS would be to issue findings of harm and hazard classification without creating a new, detailed regulatory scheme that defendants can point to as "the FCC already regulated this." Bottom line: The single highest-impact action is upgrading the NTP carcinogen classification combined with FDA-mandated warning labels. Together, they attack both causation and failure-to-warn simultaneously, and they're within HHS's existing statutory authority. I have further thoughts regarding actions the HHS could take and legal strategy. If you'd like to follow up and continue the coversation please email emrlegal@protonmail.com

I wish I didn't suffer or have a sensitivity to EMFs, but I do... I am a tech person, and at times, I must limit my exposure due to my sensitivity or the side effects that may occur... I have a drone, and yet there are times I cannot fly it because I cannot stand the pain or pressure that it brings on to my head and my chest... If I fight the pain or try to ignore it, I get angry, easily agitated, and sometimes become full of rage!    I do not like feeling like that. I am a kind person, a protector, and someone who would go out of my way to help anyone in need. I do not like the feelings that I get around certain devices. It has only become harder to go out in public or to other homes. May it be customers' houses, visiting friends or family, all because of this wireless technology.  There is nothing SMART about being hit and surrounded by non-ionizing microwave radiation ALL day long in your HOME... I can say for me, the signals emitted from a cell phone with service but data and wifi OFF I don't notice or feel any different. I practice turning my data OFF when I don't use it. I do NOT use WIFI it affects me the worst. If I must, it's in a controlled area only to update devices that don't accept Ethernet cable with adapters. Newer phones, particularly "Samsung" and "Apple," At times, I can hardly stand to be near one. It can cause a long list of side effects, including vertigo, chest pain/pressure, depression, anger, trouble thinking, to name a few, and can occur as fast as someone just showing me a picture on their device.    For 6 years or more, I suffered in my own home because of an active micro cell that is less than 30ft from my pillow. Living here was a brutal punishment... It was torture 24 hours a day for an individual like myself... I spent thousands of dollars to protect myself and my family... The products that worked best were shungite, shielding clothing, and silver fiber bed canopies. It gave me some relief, or should I say protection, from this weapons-like device. I am happy to say that for over the past year or more I feel normal again in our home!  I never thought I would say "It is good to be home!" ever again... I never thought I would feel normal or be able to sleep well again living here!  I know others are worse off than me. But unless you know what it's like to suffer from this tech. You have NO idea what it is like to be in our shoes... Who talks about sensitivity to EMFs?  Better yet, where is the list of common side effects for the technology that we're using?  It is very hard to live like this... Here is one example and possibly the most important one. #1. We feel embarrassed..! If we tell somebody to please turn their phone into airplane mode because we have pain from being next to it, the first thing that person is most likely going to say is, "WHY!?"   The next thing they will likely do is laugh at your reason, or think you are crazy!    I suffered for a long time, waiting for a Government policy to protect us. There isn't a distance standards for Micro-Cells or Antennas. There is NO safety policy; the FCC isn't even a part of this RFI. That is very bothersome... However, on February 16, 2025, after a dramatic event, I thought I was going to lose my son! God woke me up and gave me the protective power, the strength, and the courage to stand up for what I know is right and just to protect my family again. I had lost those abilities over years of being tortured within my own home. And on this day we shut the power OFF to this device!  Words cannot express the relief that I felt... The next night in bed, I cried like I have never done before... I apologized to my wife for failing her as a husband and our kids as a father for all those years, and lastly I said, "I promise that I will not allow them to keep that device on! I will not live like that again...so help me GOD!" We battled for months, antenna ON and OFF! Horrible side effects were noted when it was ON; good or restored health was recorded when it was OFF... These data/Notes were laminated and left on or near the power supply/circuit breaker box... We begged and asked to please just leave this off...  We just want to live in peace like we had once before; we didn't want to go to court for this... AT&T, whoever was calling the shots, has no mercy... After another tragic event, we were left with no choice but to file a lawsuit against them. I will not go into detail, but I will say this: after that last tragic event, this site has remained off since that very day... And I feel normal once again... We will do whatever it takes to protect ourselves, our children, and our neighbors...We will NOT stop!  Attached is my story: how I became aware of my sensitivity, what I have done to protect or eliminate side effects and symptoms, and much more.   Respectfully, Danny

This document provides a detailed, chronological account of a persistent and coordinated campaign of harassment, physical surveillance, unauthorized medical intervention, and digital and financial compromises. These actions began in 2021 within the New York City shelter system, continued through an involuntary hospitalization in July 2025, and have persisted following a relocation to Indianapolis, Indiana. The specific physical symptoms and environmental anomalies detailed below align closely with documented public profiles of electromagnetic frequency (EMF), radiofrequency (RF), microwave, and cyber interference. I. NEW YORK CITY SHELTER SYSTEM AND INITIAL SURVEILLANCE (2021–2025) The campaign began in 2021 while navigating the New York City municipal shelter system. During this period, a high-density tracking protocol was established, consisting of continuous human surveillance. Individuals executed organized proximity stalking routines both on foot and by vehicle to track daily movements, commutes, and routines. Concurrently, technological and environmental interference was documented. Fixed hardware nodes were positioned near immediate living spaces within these facilities, broadcasting low-frequency carrier waves directed at the living quarters, which disrupted sleep patterns and enforced a state of systematic isolation. II. FINANCIAL AND DIGITAL COMPROMISES (2021–PRESENT) During the 2021–2022 period, the targeting expanded into financial and cyber vectors. Personal bank accounts were actively hacked and compromised, disrupting financial stability. Furthermore, from 2021 through the present day, personal electronic devices, phone networks, and private communications have faced ongoing unauthorized access, device manipulation, and electronic surveillance. III. DETECTED FREQUENCY INDICATORS AND PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS Between 2021 and 2025, the ongoing environmental disruptions were accompanied by specific physical, neurological, and auditory anomalies that correlate with recognized profiles of electromagnetic and radiofrequency interference: • Pulsed Electromagnetic Sensations: Regular experiencing of sudden, highly localized, and rhythmic physical strain, manifesting as periodic pumping, suctioning, and heavy pulsing waves across the body. • Acoustic Friction: Consistent detection of localized popping noises, mechanical vacuum-like tracking sounds, and sharp acoustic static discharges within immediate living spaces. • Physiological Strain: Continuous exposure to these fields caused severe physical fatigue, intense cranial static, head pressure, and an immense, crushing weight and pressure across the chest. • Optical Signaling Arrays: Fixed external light displays were positioned directly across from residential coordinates, cycling through specific blue, purple, and red flashing rotations to serve as localized visual anchors calibrated to track exact proximity. IV. JULY 2025 HOSPITALIZATION AND CHEMICAL INTERVENTION In July 2025, this campaign culminated in an involuntary hospitalization where placement was enforced under strict isolation and direct observation. During this institutional stay, medical personnel administered Suboxone (a buprenorphine/naloxone formulation). Because personal medical history explicitly documents a non-drug user status, the administration of this narcotic medication was entirely unindicated and medically unjustifiable. In an opioid-naïve system, this formulation acts as a potent central nervous system depressant, inducing severe drowsiness, disorientation, and prolonged chemical sedation designed to impair physical coordination and compromise situational awareness. This intervention was managed by maintaining a completely baseline, calm, and cooperative posture, refusing to provide the behavioral data the situation was designed to elicit. V. GEOGRAPHIC RELOCATION AND CONTINUITY OF TIMELINE (POST-JULY 2025–PRESENT) Following the events of July 2025, a complete relocation was executed across state lines to a private residence in Indianapolis, Indiana. Despite changing geographical coordinates, the targeting apparatus has demonstrated clear continuity. The operations have successfully rerouted to interface with the new location, where the exact same technological footprints remain present: persistent low-frequency carrier waves, localized body static, and calibrated light signaling arrays directly outside the residential perimeter. Furthermore, this environmental activity remains accompanied by active, coordinated surveillance on foot and by vehicle by unfamiliar individuals positioned around the immediate residential area.

On the evening of October 11, 2026 my husband and I checked into a villa to spend a 6 night vacation. I immediately started feeling dizzy. I brushed it off from being tired from the 13 hour drive. But when I layed down in the bed my body felt like it was vibrating inside especially in my neck and throat! I was very scared! I turned my head and noticed flashing colored lights coming from a box behind the nightstand by my head. Ah Ha!! A router! We do not have one of these in our house because I know they can give me headaches and make me feel extremely exhausted. I moved to an upstairs bedroom to try and get some sleep. ( It was 12:30 am by then) The vibrating finally subsided after alot of deep breathing and praying! I kept trying to wake up the next morning but I kept feeling so,so tired and aching! About 11:35 am I called the management desk and requested the router be removed immediately. They did but the 1st day of my vacation was ruined. I felt like I had been run over!! I had to lay down and rest every afternoon and take aspirin for aching! So I'm supposed to check for routers and cell towers near any place I spend the night? Really!!

2: My perspective:myself & family 3a-c: WIFI mouse – rash on hand appeared after ~1yr. Wouldn’t go away until I stopped using it for a week. Rash came back upon return to use. Returned to wired mouse & rash hasn’t returned. AMR smart electric meter (precursor to AMI): Power company advised it transmitted data ~ 1-1:30 a.m., coinciding with same time I had begun awakening suddenly every night. I had the meter removed and replaced with a non-transmitting meter and now sleep through night (WIFI, bluetooth, & cell phone off also.) AMI smart electric meter (pulses every few seconds): installed without parents’ knowledge, on same wall where Dad’s (w/pacemaker) bed was. He experienced sudden decline in health, inexplicable bloodwork; Dr later said was very likely due to AMI meter (once that coinciding installation was discovered & discussed.) AMI meter replaced with a non-Smart meter and his blood work and health improved. AMI meters are also invasion of privacy with the data collection. WIFI & bluetooth(home): over time & exposure, several symptoms became regular occurrence: nervous tension, unexplained anxiety, heart palpitations, irritability, agitation, short-temper, brain fog, headaches, restless sleep (myself & family–bulk of/worst of symptoms alleviated when began keeping WIFI & bluetooth off most of the time, especially at night.) Still have some low-level symptoms; neighbors’ WIFI still infiltrates the house. WIFI (schools): mid-way through my child’s schooling, WIFI boosters were installed in the ceilings in the middle of classrooms. My child began to complain of headaches and agitation, and harder to focus. Symptoms would go away during Summer months & return when back in school. One of the schools was in very close proximity to a cell tower. Anecdotally, several cases of childhood leukemia and teachers with cancer have arisen over the yrs. WIFI + cell boosters (office): Installed ~every 30 feet on ceilings starting ~2018 & expanding throughout whole building complex during 2020-2024 era. Symptoms began shortly after installation and close daily exposure-i.e. creepy crawly sensation on skin, especially scalp/brain, low level to escalating headache and other symptoms including those noted above for WIFI at home exposure. Effects felt within about an hour of being in office. For a time, an accommodation to telework was allowed, but when up for review, it was refused. Since ADA doesn’t explicitly acknowledge EMF/EMR sensitivity as meeting the ADA guidelines for disability, the new management doesn’t either. 5G masts (around office complex) installed ~2020-2024 era: Walks of respite outside to give body a break from inside WIFI is no longer possible with the 5G masts. Electric vehicles: Even short infrequent rides in a friend’s electric vehicle gives me creepy crawly sensations and nervous system irritation. 3 doctors concur with EMF/EMR exposure as being the cause of the symptoms experienced. 5: The FCC should be compelled to comply with an order issued by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit in 2021 in the case Environmental Health Trust, et al. v. FCC (DC Cir 2021, No. 20-1025), ordering the FCC to address 11,000 pages of evidence on adverse impacts of wireless radiation before ANY legislation favorable to telecom and broadband expansion is even considered. I fear what will happen when towns lose all control over tower, small cell, and in/on-home placements. The focus on broadband deployment should be on safe, reliable fiber to homes, schools, and offices with ethernet connections, not unreliable, harmful wireless permeating the air. Americans with Disabilities Acct (ADA) - EMF/EMR sensitivity needs to be added as a protected class under the act. Guidance for those sensitive to EMF/EMR/wireless/bluetooth technologies needs to be unburied, acknowledged, updated, and disseminated to employers and those with public access buildings. Offices and public buildings should be inspected and remediated by building biologists certified in Electromagnetic and Electro Radio Frequencies, such as the Building Biology Institute. 13: The growing proliferation makes it an extremely difficult and dismal future for those who are sensitive or have pre-existing conditions. Those who are not yet, could easily become so with increased exposures and intensities. 15: Cancer/health issue clusters/declines & symptomologies known to be related to EMF’s in relation to human and animal health; local animal, bird, insect population declines, health of native flora & fauna vs invasive proliferations, increases in molds. No wireless infrastructures should be in/around any of these places. Wired should be the norm. I submit what Sayer Ji has put together as evidence: https://open.substack.com/pub/sayerji/p/secretary-kennedy-asked-for-the-evidence?r=2ri5rr&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Please please, please take action to help us on the road. The bright headlights and " fog lights " are so horribly bright, a person can't even see the fog line to help while being blinded by the oncoming lights of othe cars and trucks and motorcycles! It used to be illegal to drive with the high beams on. Affecting other drivers. These modern lights are brighter than anything from our past. I literally am forced to turn my sideview mirrors down and my rear view mirror up when driving at night to protect my vision from the rear. I also have a "sunscreen" I use that is attached to my visor. This is pull down to block the left side of my windshield. This makes it possible to drive home from work at night.

Biological life including humans need an environment that is fold with earths natural EMFs. Man made EMF degrades health and earth frequencies. Please reduce the exposure to man made EMFs and Radio Frequencies.
