These frequencies definitely affect me and family members. When we are in areas with less cell service such as west Texas, we do not feel this way. Something is not right.

As a concerned citizen, 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 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. 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.

Use real science. EMF radiation is not ionizing and does not damage living tissues

I think we are being exposed to so much that we don’t full understand the effects and won’t until it’s too late. I do not understand why we are changing things that have already worked to things I believe we don’t have enough information on. All of these fields through our bodies cannot be good for us.

Please remove all 5G,6G and any wireless towers. They are harmful to humans, wildlife and vegetation.

These cause harm and do not need to be by kids ball fields, neighborhoods or schools!!

I am submitting this comment as a consumer concerned about long-term exposure to wireless radiation from phones, Wi-Fi routers, cell towers, and other connected devices. I urge HHS to conduct a thorough, independent review of whether current exposure limits adequately protect public health. This review needs to consider those most heavily exposed and should examine potential effects beyond tissue heating, including evidence concerning cancer, reproductive health, and children’s development. Please prioritize research that reflects how people actually encounter wireless radiation: repeated exposure over many years, often from multiple sources and devices used close to the body. Assessments should consider signal strength, pulse patterns, duration, and combined exposure. Please consider Melnick and Moskowitz’s 2026 analysis of animal data, which argues that existing exposure limits may inadequately protect against cancer and reproductive harm (https://doi.org/10.1186/s12940-026-01288-6). I also ask HHS to evaluate Lai and Levitt’s review of exposure intensity, duration, and signal modulation (https://doi.org/10.1080/15368378.2022.2065683), and Scarato’s review of US regulatory gaps and proposed reforms (https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2025.1677583). These papers warrant careful consideration alongside the broader evidence, including studies that have not found adverse effects. I ask HHS to: •Assess whether additional protections are needed for children, pregnant women, and other potentially vulnerable groups. •Support long-term research with safeguards against industry conflicts of interest. •Provide clear information about exposure and practical ways to reduce it, including wired alternatives in homes and schools. •Recommend updated standards wherever the evidence shows that existing limits are insufficient. Consumers should not have to navigate these questions alone. Please use this inquiry to advance transparent science, meaningful oversight, and public health protection.

Madame, Monsieur, Je me permets de vous adresser la présente afin de consigner de manière formelle le calvaire quotidien dans lequel je suis plongée et où chaque instant est une lutte pour la survie physique et psychique. Cela a commencé avec la pose d’un compteur communicant à mon domicile en 2019. Dès l’installation de cet appareil, j’ai immédiatement ressenti des sons puissants et stridents à l’intérieur de mon cerveau. Ces derniers m’interdisent l’accès au repos le plus élémentaire, annihilent toute capacité de concentration, me coupent de mon activité professionnelle et me plongent dans un brouillard mental. J'ai donc pris conscience d'une cause électromagnétique. À ce jour, un médecin spécialiste en pathologie environnementale, ainsi que quatre autres praticiens de médecine générale et spécialisée, ont formellement diagnostiqué mon état et reconnu l’impact direct de ce facteur électromagnétique sur mon organisme, ainsi que la chimico-sensibilité. Mon domicile est par ailleurs entouré par plusieurs antennes-relais de téléphonie mobile et de Wi-fi des voisins. À cette agression invisible s’ajoute une nuisance mécanique et acoustique : juste au-dessus de ma tête, dans les combles de mon immeuble, est installée une imposante ventilation mécanique contrôlée (VMC) collective. Cette machinerie lourde fonctionne en continu et génère des infrasons permanents qui traversent les structures. Ces basses fréquences inaudibles mais hautement perceptibles par le système nerveux finissent littéralement par me « gangrener ». Lorsque je m’éloigne de mon domicile pendant plusieurs jours, l'impact direct du son de la VMC s'estompe après plusieurs jours. Pour autant, les autres perturbations cérébrales persistent, comparable à une radio brouillée. Ce phénomène ne me quitte jamais. Ma sensibilité est devenue telle que lorsque je me trouve à proximité de lignes électriques extérieures, je l’entends circuler. Les champs électromagnétiques de basse et haute fréquence sont devenus pour moi des agressions physiques, qui dérèglent mon système neurologique, mon rythme cardiaque, mon système digestif, m’épuisent. Cette hypersensibilité s’inscrit dans un tableau clinique évolutif. Depuis l'an 2000, je vis avec des douleurs diffuses, paralysantes et handicapantes, sans cause connue. Au cours des années 2022 et 2023, mon corps a franchi un nouveau seuil de rupture en développant des réactions cutanées matérialisant l'inflammation interne permanente de mon organisme face aux agressions de mon environnement. Cela ne s'arrête jamais. Si cinq médecins attestent la composante électromagnétique, les institutions officielles, la médecine française et l'ANSES (Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l'alimentation, de l'environnement et du travail) refusent le lien de causalité direct entre l'exposition aux ondes, aux champs électromagnétiques, aux infrasons, et mes symptômes lourdement handicapants. Ce refus de reconnaissance institutionnelle est une double peine. Ce déni condamne les malades à l'isolement, à l'errance et à l'absence de droits ou de solutions. La violence de ces symptômes, combinée à l'indifférence systémique des autorités sanitaires, crée une détresse psychique si profonde qu'elle pousse aux idées les plus sombres (2 tentatives de suicide). Chaque seconde passée chez soi est une TORTURE insoutenable... mais pour autant, je ne sais pas où est la vérité et je suis confrontée à une impasse médicale concernant mes symptômes. « Celui qui ne doute pas ne risque pas de progresser vers la connaissance et la vérité ». Je vous prie d’agréer, Madame, Monsieur, l’expression de mes salutations distinguées. P.S.: je m'oppose formellement à toute utilisation de mes données et de mes déclarations en dehors du strict cadre de cette enquête

I know for years I would wake up with the BONES IN MY FINGERS WOULD FEEL LIKE THEY WERE IN HOT COLES LITERALLY ON FIRE. LOOKED IT UP OTS RADIAION FROM MY PHONE. .I CAN FEEL THE RADIAION IN MY HANDS WHEN I AM USEING IT. 100%

I am submitting my comments as an individual consumer. I first experienced physical symptoms of nausea when the agency I worked for installed several desk top computers for the secretarial staff in 1990. I was in Barnes and Noble and a staff person showed me how to operate a Nook. My reaction was immediate and I felt faint and almost collapsed. As more devices that use wifi and radio frequencies have come into use I have physical reactions to cell phones, tablets, smart meters, my husband's hearing aids, Wi-Fi signals within businesses, desk top computers in groupings such as in libraries or retail electronics businesses and singly in my husband's in-home office, electric grids in floor heated concrete slabs, underground electric service feeds to residences, high tension power lines, cell phone towers, routers that broadcast Wi-Fi to multiple devices within a home or business, security systems that use Wi-Fi, ungrounded knob and tube wiring in residences, electric and hybrid vehicles that have storage batteries, and in vehicles that use Sirius radio, Bluetooth, backup cameras, and other warning devices dependent on radar and radio frequencies. The most frequent and consistent physical reaction I have to EMFs and RFs is burning sensation that first begins in my hands and feet and then migrates to the skin surface of my entire body. More extreme reactions include nausea and disorientation and shortness of breath. These symptoms will occur within 3 to 10 minutes from the time of exposure. Removing myself from the physical presence of the source does not immediately lessen the painful sensations which can persist for 30 minutes or more from the time of exposure. Grounding my body by standing barefooted on the earth or in water will help the sensations diminish within 30 to 60 minutes. My most used method of avoiding the painful effects of being in the presence of EMF, RF, and wireless radiation is to avoid the physical locations in which those forms of radiation are present. I do not fly on airplanes. I have stopped going to entertainment venues in which the audience's use of cell phones is not prohibited. I do not visit certain friends who have smart houses wired with WiFi. I cannot drive a car any newer than 2011. My husband uses cell phone outside of house and uses computer when I am not home. We had our house rewired in 2019, removing the knob and tube and replacing it with metal wrapped cable and all grounded outlets. We have shielded one side of our house from a neighbor who has a smart wifi connected house. My strategy is to avoid, put distance between my body and the source, remove myself as quickly as possible from any environment with these forms of radiation, use a copper wired land line, depend on my husband to use the computer for internet connections and communication. He is the one writing these comments for me. For many years (1990 to 2019) I did not connect the occurence of these physical symptoms with radiation sources. In 2019 we had our house evaluated by an electrian and found that I had been exposed to high levels of electromagnetic radiation due to the knob and tube wiring. Since then I have been able to correlate symptoms with sources of radiation. The steps we have taken have reduced the frequency of symptoms within our home. I have asked for neurological examinations from Kaiser Permanente and clinicians there do not subscribe to the correlation between my experience of symptoms and exposure to radiation. I am writing this in the hope that my experience will add validity to the experiences of others like me.
