I am a Dental Hygienist and have noted an increase in most all patients overall PH levels, as seen in higher risks of decay and mouth sores. I moved from Green Bank, WV(a federally regulated ‘Quiet Zone’ and am aware that there are a lot of people getting sicker with varied symptoms who have had prolonged exposure to EMF’s. I would love to conduct research in the dental setting to conclude if there is/is not a correlation as seen in the oral cavity with increase exposure to EMF’s.

Docket ID: HHS-OASH-2026-0397 Notice Publication Number: 2026-19252 Title: Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Technology Exposure Subject: Public Comment Requesting Federal Proximity Setbacks and Infrastructure Relocation Near School Populations (Ann Arbor, MI) To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to submit a formal comment in response to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Request for Information regarding environmental electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure. This comment directly addresses the agency’s inquiry into exposure levels, public health experiences, and the critical need to protect vulnerable populations like young children. Specifically, I am submitting a request for data and action regarding a localized, multi-signal wireless telecommunications tower hosting active 5G equipment and other RF broadcast arrays that is positioned at 5449 Whitmore Lake Rd, Ann Arbor, MI 48105. This commercial broadcast infrastructure operates adjacent to and within approximately 500 feet of the main campus of Ann Arbor Christian School (located at 5500 Whitmore Lake Rd). The school’s campus serves highly vulnerable developing populations, including infants, toddlers, preschool-aged children, and elementary school students. These students spend upwards of 6 to 8 hours a day in continuous proximity to the emissions of this tower during critical windows of biological development. As the agency updates its guidelines and coordinates with other federal bodies, I urge HHS to recommend and prioritize the following regulatory actions: 1. Vulnerable Populations Priority: Because children possess thinner craniums, higher tissue fluid content, and developing nervous systems, their cumulative biological absorption rates differ dramatically from standard adult occupational baseline measures. 2. Evaluation of Multi-Signal Arrays: Local residents and parents cannot independently verify the full output, frequency variations, or mechanical expansions occurring on multi-tenant tower sites. Federal oversight must account for the mixed-use radiofrequency environments where 5G macro/small cells are combined with older legacy telecommunication hardware. 3. Strict Local Proximity Thresholds: I strongly encourage the federal government to establish definitive exposure buffers or enhanced monitoring requirements for high-output 5G arrays operating within a 500 to 1000-foot perimeter of early-childhood learning centers, school buildings, and outdoor playgrounds. 4. Mandatory Federal Zoning Setbacks and Relocation Guidance: I explicitly request that HHS recommend federal zoning frameworks that require the physical relocation of high-power broadcast towers away from educational institutions. Telecommunications infrastructure should not share such close proximity with preschools and/or elementary schools. Federal guidelines must empower local municipalities to restrict or move existing infrastructure when it operates in direct conflict with child safety environments. Thank you for accounting for the physical safety and placement of infrastructure relative to developing student populations as you evaluate the modern baseline for RF safety.

a. The type(s) of wireless technology or RF/EMF source(s) involved e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters, wireless infrastructure, wearable devices, occupational equipment). This comment involves wireless technology or RF/EMF sources b. The nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing of the reported exposure(s). Constant elevated exposure in an apartment complex, living in a city c. The potential adverse health effects experienced. In 2023 I started waking up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding and head heaving a pressure. I felt like I had so much pressure on my body, that I was not able to put up with it. We traveled out of the apartment complex into farms in a van with my husband and I started sleeping through the nights and felt immediately different overall. We felt a difference as soon as we left the city. Then upon returning we got a little device that was for private use and reportedly could lower EMF exposure, once it arrived, my symptoms lessened. In 2025 we traveled out of the United states to South Africa where there was no infrastructure even for 4G and 5G, we experienced a drastic shift in our overall happiness and well being not just in us, but people surrounding us. 5 months later when we returned to Clearwater we experienced our thoughts scattered and a physical shock on our bodies so much that we decided to immediately move out of our apartment complex. We discovered widespread mold issues in the apartment complex too. Temporarily we moved downtown, where 5G towers were visible even. My symptoms became worse, kept waking up in the middle of the night and had daily headaches, I started to become forgetful and generally extremely stressed. We purchased a device called EM Guard which could reduce EMF exposure down from a measured 2400 units to 0 in an instant. It’s a harmonizing device. My headaches instantly disappeared and I felt a huge weight lifted from my chest. I can see on my environment that people are numb and less present compared to people in South Africa. The difference is noticeable only for us, who have traveled in and out of the exposure areas and experienced the actual difference. d. When potential adverse health effects first appeared relative to when exposure began and whether any changes in exposure coincided with potential adverse health effects. Please see above included in my answer. h. The types of potential adverse health effects reported. Headaches, forgetfulness, stress, increased mold, lack of focus, overall wellbeing reduced, mood and ambitions got worse i. Onset of potential adverse health effects. 2023 j. Characteristics of the individuals or populations involved, excluding any identifying information such as PII or PHI. Private individual k. Any observed exposure patterns. The exposure in the city and rural areas has been a constant, we experienced our symptoms going away to farms or traveling out of the continent into a less developed country (symptoms immediately improved) and symptoms immediately came back coming back to the exposure l. What standardized methods were used to assess exposure or potential adverse health effects, if any were used. EMF Meters

I have been getting nuked by EMI my entire life and have felt no appreciable negative effects from it. I personally believe people who claim ill effects from electromagnetic radiation are doing so simply to get attention from regulatory bodies. EMI is a well studied subject that requires no significant further investigation.

Based upon what I am experiencing, I have been placed on an illegal gov threat list. One of many sources of torture I experience is different forms of radiation. It comes through the tv, electrical outlets, stove and fridge creating nausea, chest congestion, headaches, diarrhea, dizziness, and unsteadiness when walking. Yet another type I believe is microwave radiation that comes from cell towers which causes extreme burning sensations all over my head mostly and sometimes over my entire upper body leaving welts and burning pain that remains for hours or days. Another source is from outside lights such as the street lights and lights on nearby buildings both inside and outside whose beams stream onto the roof and inside the windows of my condo causing the same type of issues created from electrical outlets. My body feels over heated from the inside and I lose my appetite from this type of radiation along with the electrical sockets. Then there is the radiation that causes the inside of my 2025 CRV Honda hybrid car to overheat making the seats unbearably hot as well as the inside temperature. This situation stems from cars beaming their headlights toward my car for extended periods of time. These are the major sources of radiation but I have also received radiated food once on an international flight that caused my entire insides to feel unbearably over heated. I can send pictures of some of these issues and evidence of others. I will get help to send those. Thank you for looking into this serious threat to innocent mislabeled American citizens.

Learn how to spell opinion you fucking morons.

Dear HHS Leadership, Thank you for seeking public input on the biological and health impacts of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF), including 5G, Wi-Fi, and personal wireless devices. As technology density grows in homes and schools, federal guidelines must urgently account for the heightened biological vulnerability of children. We request that HHS incorporate the following science-based protections into its safety evaluation and public guidance: Child-Specific Absorption Modeling: Current federal guidelines are based on adult male anatomical models. Research demonstrates that children—due to thinner skulls, smaller head dimensions, and higher tissue water content—absorb up to twice as much RF radiation into their brain tissue and up to ten times as much into bone marrow compared to adults. Impacts on Developing Neural and Cellular Systems: Review peer-reviewed evidence showing that non-thermal RF exposure can induce oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and altered intracellular signaling in rapidly dividing, developing tissues. Public Warnings and Device Labelling: Issue clear public health warnings regarding cell phones and wireless devices. Recommend practical limits, such as keeping devices away from the body during transmission, using speakerphone, and avoiding cell phone use directly against a child's head. School and Childcare Environment Limits: Establish guidelines for educational settings, including favoring wired ethernet over Wi-Fi in early childhood centers, turning off Wi-Fi routers when not in active use, and restricting small-cell deployment directly adjacent to school grounds. We urge HHS to align U.S. policy with international precautionary standards and provide clear, actionable guidance to protect developing children. Sincerely, Abigail Crowe

Link between childhood leukemia and a home's proximity to high voltage power lines.

All utility companies should be required to offer analog equipment option instead of forcing consumers to live with smart meters. A process should be prominently displayed on their websites. I am also concerned about the health implications of WiFi and towers situated near schools, housing, businesses, parks.

We are surrounded by a plethora of toxins. Since all toxins affect every person vastly differently, it's time to start looking beyond symptoms alone and pay attention to the broader factors that influence how we feel, including sleep quality, environmental toxins, mold exposure, air quality, and other stressors that place demands on our bodies. EMF's, Wireless Radiation, 5G MUST ALL BECOME part of the conversation on this topic. When it comes to nutrition, medications, or medical procedures, we expect information BEFORE making decisions, but with EMFs, wireless technology, etc. the nefarious part is that the exposure came first, therefore understanding the full picture matters more than focusing on any single piece of it.
