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 parent, a family member, researcher, advocate, and concerned member of the public. I particular don't like 5G, noting that 4G is just as good and less evasive on our overal health. I've experience fatigue, headaces, etc. because of a wireless (Wifi) computer connection. I want to switch over to a safer connection if able on my older P/C.

I have been admitted to the hospital 3 times in the past 2 years due to EMF and RF exposure! I was in ICU for 5 days in San Diego. Last hospital admission was for central nervous system involvement. My symptoms continue daily and are progressing. These symptoms are directly the result of EMF and RF radiation exposure! I am a healthcare provider for the federal government. I’m certain of it. I have all hospital records, test results, follow up appointment notes, hospital discharge notes as proof.

I have noticed the closer I am to a cell tower the more anxious I get. I never thought it could be from the cell towers until I read reports and dove deeper into some other things people have said. I also notice if I keep my phone near me at night I dont sleep well at all. I have noticed sleep disturbances when I keep my phone near, if it’s outside the bedroom I sleep better. Also I noticed a difference if I put my phone on airplane mode it almost seems to lessen the EMF exposure and allow better sleep. When I am near my WiFi router I have this increased feeling of anxiety and strange electrical impulse within my body. All of these I have felt before knowing the information of WIFI and EMF effects. I really think something needs to be done. Something needs to change. My thought on this is if EMF can be used as a weapon against people why are we carrying a phone and having WIFI router around us all the time. I think people should be allowed to have the option of having a regular phone from copper telephone land lines again if they don’t want the exposure. Just like the 80s having a kitchen phone. Also something needs to change for wifi and also EMF exposure from all tech. If I have a computer and I want to connect it to the internet cable I should be able too without worry of EMF exposure from the computer itself. I am so glad this is being researched and studied. I will not be surprised if studies show EMF exposure causes increase in cancers rates and other diseases and mental Health. If people want WiFi make it safer if they don’t make safe options for people who dont want it like I said copper land telephone line phones and ability to have have to use wifi all together and have no exposure from your computer or any tech devices.

Cellphones, kitchen appliances, LED and florescent bulbs, electric car amenities, air conditioning, and too many other things to mention!! I've been dealing with this for 7 yrs now! It's affected every aspect of my body, mind, social life, health, mental health, ability to walk, EVERYTHING! I'm 76yrs old trying my best to take care of my 91yr old husband! Im so glad your checking on this stuff. Im afraid for my kids and grandkids and what this is doing to our country!

A major research gap in public policy regarding RF exposure is the psychological phenomenon known as "radiophobia"; that is, the irrational fear of radiation of any type. Radiophobia heavily influences the public's attitude towards RF exposure leading to gross overestimation of risk. Radiophobia is largely due to scientific illiteracy, such as not understanding the inverse square power law of radiative flux and why that's important in realizing how insignificant day-to-day RF exposure is. The solution is public education in physics rather than hollow platitudes from a distrusted government in attempts to placate public fears (remember "safe and effective"?). Better scientific education can be effective provided radiophobia is not so severe that it's created hoards of incorrigible paranoid masses fretting over 5G. I'm afraid we are past that point, and my hopes of fixing the stupidity are slim. Good luck.

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 someone struggling with her own health issues, while seeing others struggle, as well. Also, as someone who is familiar with research suggesting radiation causes harm far in excess of anything paid shills for the industry are willing to admit. On a strictly experiential level: Radiation exposure is a lot like boiling a frog. The frog doesn't know what's happening, but it feels unwell, it has lost and continues to lose function and a baseline sense of well-being, and eventually, unless it's removed from the cooking pot, it will die. When I moved out of an apartment building blighted with a high density of WiFi signals... to a location with fewer WiFi routers per square mile, I started to sleep better, and other issues eased, as well. I'm still being boiled in all the other sources of radiation (cell phones and cell phone masts, smart meters, etc), but even this minor change has made an appreciable difference in my sleep. How much more lost function and productivity (over the past years) might I regain in an environment without all this toxic, weapons-grade radiation… that our own military used to admit was a threat to the health and preparedness of its troops! How many more of my health issues might reverse, if I didn't have to endure radiation levels up to a million times normal background radiation which our bodies and brains have historically been exposed to! How much more functional and healthy and happy might our children be, and all of our society be, without this pervasive and unprecedented toxic exposure! The failure to properly investigate and regulate radiation is nothing short of a crime against humanity. Ecocide, too. One way or another, the truth will come out. Better it come out sooner, to spare us needless suffering, and spare our planet the needless loss and extinction of its most vulnerable species, starting with insects and birds, but including our precious children. The link between radiation and biological harm is established for any who are courageous enough to acknowledge it. I urge HHS to take 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 ALL these experiences AND the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give espeical attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing me this opportunity to be heard.

In 2008-2009 time frame I developed ringing in my left ear. I could often hear a static, droning also. Doctors just counted it as Tinnitus . I feel as tho I’m feeling the noise at times. My health is great but has been altered at times because of this problem. I remember it was around the time the Government sent out the TV boxes and took away our antenna tv reception. I feel like they sold us out for a number of reasons. Thank you for investigating these problems .

I live smack dap in between the Canadian power lines which run part way through my property, and a T mobile cell tower which is approximately 45 feet off my side yard. When I moved here 14 years ago, I was fine. I was ok till the cell tower was put up. I fought that in town tooth and nail but it was put up anyway. I’ve had so much pain in my body ever since. I don’t have any documentation of this. I’m not one to see a dr very often for anything. My ears ring more often than not. I have constant brain fog. Please make it illegal to put these emf towers near residential properties. The trees and plants around the tower and my yard and property look sick. It’s worse every year.

My personal experience of Negative effects of EMFs. I was exposed to high levels of microwave radiation 2015 to 2019: -Lived in home with IOT devices throughout home emitting wireless radiation. >Also had DEC phones, including one next to my bed, emitting powerful radiation 24/7, incl. during sleep time. >I thought it fun to watch water boil while standing in front of a microwave oven. -As software developer, I worked around wireless including a router placed directly over my head at work. Symptoms started with "flu"; developed irritable bowel syndrome; and began experiencing low energy, like my life force was being drained away. Subsequently realized low energy due to degradation of red blood cells. Without a negative charge of membrance due to radiation disruption, cells clumped together and did not fit into small capillaries. Thus oxygen did not reach organs. I discovered the importance of bone marrow, and the consequences of not getting a supply of oxygen to create red and white blood cells (stem cells) -- blood was at low levels red blood cells. Low white cell count accounted for "flu" like symptoms. I began to experience double vision and dizziness along with "black outs" in awareness.
