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 a concerned member of the public. I have experienced headaches and neckaches from wireless radiation while riding in a fully electric car for only a half hour. Additionally, I have experienced the effects of wireless radiation when driving for longer periods of time in new cars that are not fully electric, but have too many EMFs coursing through it via numerous apps, sensors, and features that require WIFI and other EMFs to function. The effects I have experienced include headaches, reduced immune system, core frequency imbalance of my body, and a specific fatigue. Wireless radiation has affected my husband in the same manner. He is also negatively affected by wireless radiation when driving by cell towers and other areas that expose the public to wireless radiation. I fully 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 “uncaptured” federal agencies with appropriate, uncaptured expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should serve as primary evidence and considered alongside the additional, numerous studies and the scientific evidence. Protection from wireless radiation needs to be built into every device that emits the harmful radiation. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these first-hand experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal guidelines and research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard. Kind regards,

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 concerned member of the public. My EMF detector shows a dramatic spike in activity when held over my phone, which raises concerns about the intensity of wireless emissions that consumers may be exposed to daily.

As a physician I have treated and cured many patients , including myself,for both wireless and excessive EMF radiation over decades.This problem is real and scientifically supported. Savely Yurkovsky MD

I am a concerned citizen. I have experienced pronto exfoliation in my right eye. One of the studied causes is exposure to cell phones and computers. I also have read foreign studies about EMFs, RF, and Wireless Radiation exposure affecting the body and especially sleep. I have found this true for myself. I have also noticed the effect on my grandchildren and have read studies that it is affecting their brains. We need to as a nation study the effects of these now and not wait any longer. All this technology is nice but comes with a price as it affects our body. I now have a special cover on my phone that minimizes exposure but how many people know to do this. We need to study and inform the public.

Why is the US so far behind in everything related to health? toxins allowed, dangerous vaccines, poor health outcomes (longevity, infant mortality, etc), I could got on for a long time. I know first hand the dangers of EMFs, RF and Wireless exposure. Is this truly late-stage capitalism, where the thirst for profits drives us into a cataclysm. We are become a 3rd world country in effect, where our elected reps are bought and sold by the money crowd.

Little is public about the harms from this type of radiation. Yet, industry and the Whitehouse are aggressively expanding infrastructure near schools and other densely populated areas, while dismissing concerns and mounting anecdotal evidence of harm. I urge you all to make this a top priority as well.

Please put a stop to the increasing EMF poisoning of our children. Give them a chance at a normal healthy life, like we had before the avalanche of technology invaded our world and put a stranglehold on the people. It is not only highly addictive, but the frequencies and radiation that are produced and diffused into our atmosphere have the potential to bring about great harm. Thank you for your consideration.

It's unbelievably crazy that dangerous levels of EMF pollution has been allowed to be forced into our lives without proper safety testing through multiple independent (and un-bribable) testing groups. Is the toxic soup we're all bathing in through ever-increasing cellular speeds, wifi, etc.safe for children and adults? It seems as if our government has sold us out to the companies with the deepest pockets, keeping its citizens sick, fat, and dumb on purpose through the hundreds of thousands of toxic chemicals and frequencies that have become ubiquitous in "normal" American lives. It's truly no wonder why we're the most chronically sick nation on the planet. I support any legislation making it illegal (and criminally punishable) for companies, individuals, and our own government to poison our citizens. And so should EVERY lawmaker we elect and every government employee we hire from this point on. It's time to care for the PEOPLE, not the corporatocracy that sacrifices human health and wellness for profit. Just like the fall of Rome, we have lost our way and have allowed psychopaths to control our health. It's time to right these wrongs and put the wellness of our people at the forefront of our political goals and agendas. Anyone, regardless of wealth and stature, who fails to do so should be immediately investigated and held accountable. And absolutely NO 6G unless and until it's determined to be safe for even our most vulnerable children, elders, and those who are sick!

Public Comment to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Subject: EMF Sensitivity, Mold Exposure, Genetic Testing, and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) Submitted by: Shana Placenti New Hampshire, United States To the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, My name is Shana Placenti, and I am sharing my personal experiences with electromagnetic field (EMF) sensitivity, mold exposure, and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). I have been battling CIRS since 2018, following prolonged exposure to a water-damaged, mold-contaminated home. Over the past eight years, I have experienced severe neurological, cognitive, and physical symptoms that have significantly affected my health and quality of life. Approximately five years ago, I underwent extensive genetic testing involving roughly 200,000 genetic markers. According to the interpretation provided with my results, I was identified as having what the report described as "double EMF sensitivity." When I am around what I believe to be sources of electromagnetic fields, I experience intense buzzing and vibrating sensations throughout my body. At times, it feels as though my entire nervous system is buzzing. These sensations can become extremely uncomfortable and overwhelming, particularly when I am already experiencing neurological symptoms. Following my mold exposure, I experienced severe dizziness, balance disturbances, cognitive difficulties, impaired temperature regulation, and changes in bladder function. At one point, my neurological symptoms were so debilitating that I struggled to walk and maintain my balance. I have also experienced multiple concussions, further complicating my neurological health. I am concerned about whether individuals with chronic inflammatory illnesses following mold exposure may experience heightened sensitivity to other environmental factors, including electromagnetic fields. I am also concerned about the potential relationship between electromagnetic fields and mold-related toxicity. I encourage HHS to investigate whether EMF exposure can influence fungal growth, mycotoxin production, or the biological effects of mold exposure, particularly among individuals living with chronic inflammatory and neurological conditions. I respectfully encourage HHS to investigate possible relationships between EMF exposure, mold-related illness, neurological conditions, and genetic susceptibility. I would particularly welcome research examining whether certain genetic variations are associated with reported EMF sensitivity and whether these associations can be scientifically validated. I also encourage research into the combined effects of environmental exposures on individuals living with complex chronic illnesses. In addition to my personal experiences, I am the founder and administrator of MOLD/CIRS/LYME/TOXINS Healing and Recovery Group, an international Facebook community with more than 7,200 members representing over 50 countries. Through this community, I raise awareness, share educational resources, and provide support for individuals navigating mold exposure, CIRS, Lyme disease, EMF sensitivity, and other environmental health concerns. I have connected with individuals who report symptoms they associate with EMF exposure. These experiences have reinforced my belief that patients deserve to be heard and that their experiences should help inform future research priorities. My purpose in submitting this comment is to share my lived experience and advocate for greater awareness, independent research, and improved understanding of reported environmental sensitivities. I recognize that my genetic report does not independently establish a medically validated diagnosis of EMF sensitivity. However, I believe my experiences raise important questions worthy of further scientific investigation. Thank you for providing Americans with an opportunity to share their experiences. I sincerely hope continued research will improve our understanding of reported EMF sensitivity, potential interactions with mold exposure, and the challenges faced by individuals living with chronic inflammatory and neurological conditions. Respectfully, Shana Placenti New Hampshire, United States Environmental Health Advocate
