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 [patient, parent, family member, caregiver, healthcare professional, researcher, advocate, concerned member of the public, or other]. Wireless radiation is unexcapable which is troublesome becuase we cannot protect ourselves. My son just started college and he sleeps in a bunk directly under a wifi router. This cannot be good for his health, especially since he is on a laptop,phone, etc, all day and in buildings with contnuous wifi. There has to be a period of time where he is allowed to be in an EMF free zone for at least when he is sleeping. Why are we not concerned about the health and well being of the citizens of our country? Why are our wireless radiation limits so much higher than the rest of the world? Please do your job and establish healhy regs around this topic. 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.

Hello. My name is Susan Mathis. I live in Beaufort-by-the -Sea, North Carolina. I believe that I have been harmed by EMF outside my apartment. 4 years ago I had unexplained oain in my jaw. Naturally, I thought it was just a bad tooth. After several dentist visits and a doctor visit ( I had no insurance at the time) it was determined that the is a piece of metal in my jaw. No one knows where it came from. Dentists don't want to touch it. Doctors couldn't decide. So I let it go when the pain subsides. However, I understand EMF enough. Where they keep adding and adding to the 5G towers right outside my apartment door, I am concerned. Thank You.

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 who has experienced the negative impact of wireless radiation in my life and in the lives of my friends. I used to live in Scottsdale AZ in a beautiful apartment on the 6th floor. I was affected by at least a dozen different wireless systems running simultaneously and after a year I began to feel shaky, tense and frail. After 2 years I left for a home with only 1 or 2 other faint wifi systems and I trun off the wifi at night. Almost immediately my health returned. Two other friends have had similar experiences. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation.

We do not consent, we do not support wireless frequency. My personal experience reflects a better life experience in health, sleep when I unplug it for several days. This frequency is deleterious to health and well being, just as microwave frequency is terrible for your health and the hundreds of thousands of birds it kills yearly that fly under cell towers emitting destructive frequencies.

THE strong evidence is overwhelming please backoff from 5g every where

I am submitting this comment as a licensed Professional Engineer (environmental engineering master’s degree), U.S. Navy veteran, and concerned citizen. Current federal exposure guidelines for RF/EMF from wireless devices, Wi-Fi, and 5G infrastructure are outdated, based primarily on thermal effects, and fail to adequately protect public health—especially children, pregnant women, and those with electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Independent research, including the National Toxicology Program animal studies and multiple peer-reviewed papers, has shown clear evidence of biological effects at levels well below current FCC limits, including increased cancer risk, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and reproductive harm. These findings have been dismissed or minimized while industry-funded studies and captured agencies continue to claim “no proven harm.” This pattern mirrors other failures of public health agencies that prioritize corporate interests over independent science. I urge HHS to: Commission and fund truly independent research that examines non-thermal effects, cumulative exposure, and real-world chronic low-level RF from 5G small cells and densified networks. Update safety standards to account for biological effects, not merely heating of tissue. Require transparent disclosure of conflicts of interest in all studies relied upon by the agency. Support a precautionary approach: pause further dense 5G deployments near homes, schools, and hospitals until safety is demonstrated, and prioritize wired alternatives where feasible. Investigate and publicly report on the health impacts of the existing nationwide 5G infrastructure that has been rolled out with insufficient long-term data. The public has a right to accurate information and protection from involuntary exposure. Continuing to rely on 1990s-era thermal-only limits while saturating the environment with pulsed RF is not acceptable. I call on HHS to put human health ahead of industry expansion.

We don’t know what the long term effects of blanketed EMF and RF exposure will do to our health. At the very least we should have restrictions such as: no freestanding wireless facilities within 500 feet of residential zone and schools.

I am concerned about EMF’s Wireless radiation causes HARM! Please listen to our concerns Thank you

I refuse to have my family subjected to frequency weapons like the ones on nearly every tower in this country. This has to be stopped before life begins to be unsustainable on the surface. Our fruit trees and plant are struggling to grow because of the damage from these towers (among other things like spraying) and this has been proven time and time again I lab settings. We must go back to 4g and remove all nodes that dont directly pertain to a cell connection.

I am writing this letter to protect our children and family from wireless radiation. I have had headaches and disorientation from these devices. I also have a friend who suffered a brain tumor that was diagnosed as exposure fr her cell phone. She was 22 years old approximately.
