Last Dec 20 25 our neighborhood learned they were going to put up a 54 foot cell tower at the entrance of an established 200 plus home neighbor hood. We had one week to contest and they passes it on chiristmas eve. it’s a know fact it causes cancer and I am sensitive to these EMF frequencies and had to remove the smart metter from my house. I’ve lived here for 26 years and now I will,have to move. Reno Nevada our city council is so corrupt!

I hate it and dont want to be exposed to it. We need a away to opt out of wireless electric meters too.

I am submitting this comment as an individual who has experienced severe and life-changing health problems that I associate with exposure to electromagnetic fields, particularly radiofrequency (RF) radiation from wireless devices. My sensitivity to wireless radiation began approximately four years ago. Gradually, I noticed that exposure to devices emitting wireless signals appeared to trigger or significantly worsen symptoms similar to those associated with fibromyalgia, including physical pain, exhaustion, and a profound reduction in my ability to function both physically and mentally. At the time, I was living in Paris and working in the IT industry, which meant that I was surrounded by wireless devices and exposed to multiple sources of RF radiation on a daily basis. Despite trying to reduce my exposure, I gradually became less and less able to cope with the demands of my professional life. I had to progressively reduce my working hours and responsibilities until I eventually reached a point where I could no longer work at all. Approximately two and a half years ago, I also had to leave Paris and move back in with my parents in the countryside in an attempt to improve my health, at age 30. Although my current living environment has significantly less wireless radiation than my previous one, exposure is far from absent, partly because there are mobile phone base stations in the village. My symptoms remain severe and have a devastating impact on my daily life. Whenever I have to leave the house or when other people use mobile phones inside the house, I experience a significant worsening of my symptoms. Conversely, I have noticed that spending time in quiet environments with very low levels of wireless radiation can bring some relief and allow me to recover a small degree of well-being. This observation has become one of the most important factors in my efforts to manage my condition. The consequences extend far beyond physical discomfort. I have lost my ability to work, I rarely see my friends anymore, and I am no longer able to participate in ordinary daily activities. Rather than truly living, I feel that I am merely surviving. This is particularly difficult because I desperately want to regain my health, return to work, become active again, and rebuild a reasonably normal life. Over the past four years, I have consulted dozens of doctors and healthcare practitioners, including practitioners working in alternative approaches. Unfortunately, none of the treatments I have tried has provided meaningful or lasting relief. So far, the most significant improvement I have experienced has come from being in quiet environments with very low levels of wireless radiation, and also having an healthy diet, cooking fresh and organic products helped me.

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 well-educated 69 year old female whose life has been very greatly impacted by my being disablingly sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. I live in the UK, where EHS (electrohypersensitivity) is a condition not recognised by the health service, to the point of there being no code available to allow the condition to be entered into my medical records. Nor is there any treatment or support available from the National Health Service. Exposure to radiation from mobile phones and Wi-Fi affect me the most, inducing nausea, extreme brain fog and overwhelming tiredness; I can feel any electrical current, even low voltage DC, and emfs from household circuitry and appliances affect me adversely. Technological "progress" is making daily living an increasing challenge. Finding any environment in which it is physically safe to work has become increasingly problematic, leading to long-term unemployment and its financial consequences. My social isolation has been extreme, resulting initially from my inability to participate because all social activities (employment, cultural, religious, educational, healthcare, travel, transport, shopping...) involve, these days, exposure to wifi, blutooth and mobile phones, etc. This led me to a lengthy period of severe depression and anxiety, which increased the isolation because often I have been too depressed even to talk with my remaining friends. Possibly the worst thing emotionally was discovering, as a result of EHS, how corrupted science has become; how extremely unkind so many people can be; and how many politicians claiming to care about inclusiveness and democracy don't give a damn about actual real people who are suffering. Dealing with the resulting disillusionment while also dealing with ill health and extreme isolation has been a transformative experience and my understanding of the world has changed. It looks a lot more corrupt and in the thrall of evil than I understood before. For instance I have seen scientists lose their jobs just for asking questions, or finding answers, which powerful industries want to suppress. I have seen the UK government run public consultations into EMF-related matters only to hide or ignore replies providing scientific evidence which calls into doubt the next money-spinning innovation which Big Tech has decided to impose on us whether we want (or can physically tolerate) it or not. I have witnessed legal challenges fail because the judge apparently couldn't understand science. I have watched the FCC simply ignore a court ruling ordering it to justify its position of denial of the biological effects of microwave radiation. I know of those for whom suffering from electrosensitivity has become a burden no longer endurable, so that they chose to end their lives. For those still determined to live, daily life becomes increasingly challenging. I have spent years trying to understand why emfs affect me as they do. Years reading scientific papers, increasing my understanding; hours formulating evidence only to find that those presently running the world are determined to dismiss the best presented evidence when it is unfavourable to their self-interest. I am watching the biosphere which supports life as we know it teeter on the edge of collapse, have seen the evidence of the role played in this collapse by, among other stressors, man-made, non-natural emfs, yet we continue to hurtle towards the edge. I could attach links to many hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific papers which demonstrate the biological effects of emfs. Instead, I invite you to read Arthur Firstenberg's "The Invisible Rainbow", which has an extensive bibliography. Or look at the Bioinitiative Report. Or the Freiburg Appeal. Go look at the website of the EM-Radiation Research Trust. Take a look at the papers suggested here: https://www.es-uk.info/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Selected%20ES%20and%20EHS%20studies.pdf Here's just one of many available papers demonstrating the irrelevance of ICNIRP's so-called safety standards: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12940-022-00900-9 And then, once you have absorbed what this small selection of scientific papers tells us, take a look at this little beauty, and ask yourself what it's like for anyone adversely impacted by emfs to live in a world where this is regarded as a trusted source of information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_hypersensitivity I am fed up with being told that the evidence is inconclusive. Exactly how much evidence is deemed conclusive? Who gets to decide? And what about the precautionary principle? Science is empirical: it begins with evidence. We, the electrosensitive, are evidence, and I for one have had more than enough of being ignored, gas-lit, and harmed by technology.

Hello I would like the government regulatory dept to conduct an analysis of radiation exposure from wireless transmission. I am sensitive to radiation poisoning as I’m sure millions of citizens are also. It is concerning for our youth and society to have to always worry about protecting ourselves from our agencies not looking into third party testing before going ahead and installing. This is problematic as it is too late when the government steps in.

Wireless radiation is harmful to humans as well as to the ecological system.

I did not consent, nor do I consent today, to the continuous, involuntary exposure to biologically active RF radiation. My injury from radio frequency radiation began in the 2010s when millimeter scanners were used for airport security. When I had to go through one, I would be bedridden the entire next day because my body couldn’t function from the radiation exposure. In 2016 when a router at work was installed on the outer wall above my desk, I was disabled with heart palpitations, headaches, dizziness, nausea, the top of my head felt as it the sun was burning the top of my brain and my body was overwhelmed with feeling as if a weighted blanket had been thrown over me. The router had to be removed. When cell towers were built, they harmed me with stabbing pain through my head and neck, palpitations, headache and dizziness. I would have to alter my driving route to avoid them. Since the 2020s when their numbers were significantly increased, they are impossible to avoid. I have the same harmful symptoms when driving past them. On July 8, 2024 when smart meters were installed in my neighborhood, the harm from the pulse-modulated RF radiation (the worst kind) was great. I suffered debilitating harm. I immediately was impacted by the pulsed radiation with off kilter balance, body heaviness, whole body weakness, stabbing pain in temples, head squeezing sensation, weak thighs and hips with great pain so it was difficult to walk, palpitations, chest heaviness, headache and nausea, blood from sinuses, interrupted sleep, extreme tiredness, difficulty concentrating, tinnitus and worsening of tremor disease. https://www.americansforresponsibletech.org/_files/ugd/2cea04_bc6229ea88e040d98aa9bf2eced35134.pdf My home is no longer my safe sanctuary. I have no wireless devices in my home. Everything is hardwired. I have a cell phone which I only turn on and check once or twice a day. My home is invaded by the constant exposure to the radio frequency radiation and pulse-modulated RF radiation from smart meters, cell towers and neighbor’s routers. I used to walk through the neighborhood a lot for exercise. Now it is too harming to me with all of the smart meter radiation to do so. I have turned off all wireless controls in my vehicle. Travel is difficult due to cell towers everywhere. They cannot be avoided when driving. Hotels and vacation rentals have RF radiation devices in them and there are cell towers on or near the buildings. Airplanes are filled with radiation and seatmates use RF producing devices during flights. There are even shelves on airplane seatbacks for the RF devices to rest on behind the heads of the person sitting in front of it to expose them to device radiation. There is no escaping the harm and injury of radio frequency radiation and pulse-modulated RF radiation. My physicians have no remedy for me. My sister is also affected in the same ways. This submission represents her as well. Those of us with EMR syndrome are the canaries in the mine shaft. We become immediately injured from exposure to the radiation. That does not mean there is no harm to everyone else. All are exposed to unsafe levels of radiation from all wireless devices. Everyone’s health is injured by it. My quality of life and health have been tremendously harmed by the constant exposure to the radio frequency radiation and pulse-modulated RF radiation. There are untold numbers of us who live in constant disability and pain from the radio frequency radiation and pulse-modulated RF radiation. There needs to be ADA accommodations for those of us with EMR Syndrome. The exposure levels need to be dramatically reduced and there needs to be radio frequency radiation and pulse-modulated RF radiation free areas of the country for us to live in. EMR Syndrome is the easiest disability to reverse and heal. As you work to protect the health of all Americans, please reverse this disabling situation. Please support safe technology that allows us to communicate without harm to anyone. It has also been my observation that in the past several years with more cell towers erected in the area and smart meters installed, there are fewer and fewer birds and bees. https://www.bemri.org/publications/wildlife-and-plants/wildlife/1-birds-bees-and-mankind/file https://www.americansforresponsibletech.org/_files/ugd/2cea04_63cd657e2ebc493dbc3cf4a92044f2ba.pdf Thank you for your help. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. October 15, 2026.

Does your house have a constant frequency noise 24/7 so loud that you can't sleep at nice or read quietly during the daytime. Has your mitochondria and memory affected without understanding what has happened to your energy? EMF's, RF's and wireless radiation have affected my health and lifestyle. This happens when I travel in my car, stay at a hotel and visit another state and stay at a family members home. The frequency is relentless.

First and foremost, the entire concept of pooling average Americans, who don’t even understand how electricity gets to their toaster, let alone understand the complexities of the combined physics and physiology of how non ionizing electromagnetic radiation effects human tissue, is at best misguided and at worst purposefully intended to produce a biased outcome. But this is what happens when a politician with brain damage and no education in the sciences is placed in charge of a government agency wholly dependent upon science and technology. You get bad decisions and bad data. Any and all questions and concerns about currently in use RF technology is already settled science. The effects of every part of the electromagnetic spectrum from DC to daylight Has been researched, theorized, and tested for decades. This has been done by actual scientists in physics, medicine, and engineering. No input from the uneducated masses is valid or needed. I am far more educated and experienced than an average citizen in RF. I have worked in/with RF for decades both professionally and as a licensed amateur radio operator holding an Amateur Extra Class license. In 50 years of near field exposure, always following the FCC exposure limit guidelines, I have never had a single issue of any kind. This includes work with HF, VHF, UHF, and into Gigahertz applications. I have taught Amateur Radio theory to hundreds of students and those interactions demonstrated to me how little understanding of electrical and RF theory is held by otherwise well-educated people. It is my sincere belief that one purpose or result of this survey, will be to justify the termination of the entire Amateur Radio service and spectrum in the United States so that it may be monetized and licensed to commercial uses. This is what this administration is attempting to do with all public resources. Let the law suits begin!

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 as a concerned parent, researcher, and member of the public. I personally have not noticed any effects from wireless radiation in its various forms, such as cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, 4G, and 5G. However, I have researched this topic and understand that the energies involved can impact not only human health but also the health of plants, animals, and insects. As a precaution, I have limited my use of these technologies. I find it surprising that these technologies were initially tested solely for their ability to heat human tissue. Is that true science, or just a means to advance harmful technology for the profit of large corporations at the expense of the public? Those who rushed this technology into production decades ago seemed to care little for the well-being of the people who would live and work near these radiation emitters. I have read numerous accounts of individuals who struggled with unexplained medical symptoms, only to discover that moving away from a cell phone tower or turning off wireless networks in their homes resolved all their issues. Additionally, there are firefighters who have sued due to health problems linked to these emitters at their fire stations. While this technology cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted, it can cause significant health problems. The power of these emitters has increased dramatically compared to when this technology was initially tested about 30 years ago. Can you imagine not testing products that emit large amounts of energy when held next to one’s head or against one’s body 24/7? We must bring this issue to light and conduct thorough testing on the effects of these technologies. Isn't this what the HHS is for? To study these subjects to protect the people? Isn't that what they are employed to do? 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 expect 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.
