It took nine years to figure out the cause of the insomnia, memory loss, difficulty concentrating, tinnitus, nervousness, dizziness, headaches, body aches, and so on. Then, one day, life changed forever following overexposure to smart electricity meters. It was like a bombshell: a career change, the sale of a recently built dream home, a loss of bearings, and strained social relationships—not to mention the challenge of working when you are "allergic" to Wi-Fi. There is no doubt that EMFs are toxic and pose significant health risks to everyone.
Public Comment on Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397
Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure
Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Kaveh Hasani. I am a 42-year-old Iranian national living in Dortmund, Germany, with a permanent residence permit (Niederlassungserlaubnis). I am submitting this comment as a private individual who has been experiencing severe and persistent health effects that I strongly believe are related to radiofrequency and electromagnetic exposure, particularly directed or pulsed high-frequency radiation.
Timeline and Symptoms
Since approximately September 2020, I have been subjected to intense and recurring physical sensations that I can only describe as high-frequency electromagnetic attacks directed at my body and living space. These episodes occur most frequently at night and have continued for more than six years, first in my previous apartment (Lichtendorfer Straße 56) and now in my current residence (Rüpingstraße 14, 44309 Dortmund).
The main symptoms include:
Sudden burning and stinging sensations in specific areas of the body (neck, throat, behind the ears, back, abdomen, and legs)
Strong internal vibrations and pressure that feel like they originate from outside the body
Severe sleep disruption and inability to rest properly
Increased heart rate and feelings of physical aggression against the body during the night
General exhaustion, reduced ability to concentrate, and progressive health deterioration
I have undergone medical examinations in Germany. Neurological tests were largely normal, but I was diagnosed with elevated blood sugar levels. I believe prolonged exposure to these electromagnetic influences has contributed to the weakening of my immune system and overall health.
Nature of the Exposure
What I experience does not feel like ordinary ambient Wi-Fi or mobile phone radiation. The intensity is much higher and appears targeted. The sensations often start suddenly, intensify in specific body areas, and sometimes move through the body in a controlled manner. I have the strong impression that technical devices are being used to direct pulsed or modulated radiofrequency energy into my apartment and onto my body.
In addition, I have a long-standing suspicion that microchips or similar tracking/influencing devices were implanted in my body against my will around 2020–2021. These implants seem to interact with the external radiation and make the effects significantly stronger.
Impact on Life
These continuous attacks have severely damaged my ability to work and maintain a normal life. Despite having a recognized Master’s degree in Business Administration, C1-level German, and more than 73 months of pension insurance contributions, I have faced repeated unexplained job losses and situations where employment contracts were almost signed and then cancelled without clear reason. I have been unemployed for the last six months and am currently dependent on social benefits (Bürgergeld). I am convinced that the constant physical and psychological pressure caused by these electromagnetic exposures plays a major role in this professional sabotage.
Request
I urge the Department of Health and Human Services to:
Seriously investigate the possibility of directed or pulsed radiofrequency energy being used against individuals.
Study the health effects of chronic, non-thermal, and modulated RF exposure, especially on people who report high sensitivity.
Examine whether certain individuals can be made more vulnerable through implants or other technical means.
Collect and analyze personal reports like mine as part of understanding the real-world impact of modern wireless technologies beyond current safety standards.
I am willing to provide further details, medical documents, and timelines if required. Thank you for opening this important request for information. For many people who have been suffering in silence for years, this is a rare opportunity to be heard.
Sincerely,
Kaveh Hasani
Our family’s personal experience with EMFs has been deeply concerning, and we want our experiences to be heard.
I personally experience what feels like physical effects when we are near certain cell towers. As we drive by, I sometimes feel symptoms that I associate with the towers, and when stopped at traffic lights near equipment mounted on utility poles, I experience pain. Living in an area where this infrastructure continues to expand has made daily life increasingly difficult for me.
My family has also had a very difficult experience involving my son. We traveled out of state to tour a college, and after 5G equipment was added to the area, he became extremely ill while he was there. He could barely go outside without turning pale and feeling terribly sick. He only lasted a few days before we had to bring him home, resulting in the unexpected expense of moving him and his belongings all the way back.
I also experience a burning sensation in my hands when holding a cell phone. While my children were in school, they experienced severe migraines in classrooms where Wi-Fi routers were located directly inside the classrooms. After additional signal boosters were installed, we felt their symptoms became even worse.
These experiences have affected our family’s daily lives, education, finances, and overall well-being. We understand that individual experiences do not, by themselves, establish the cause of symptoms, but we believe they deserve to be heard and taken seriously.
We are asking for greater transparency, careful investigation, independent research, and consideration of the people who report experiencing symptoms in areas where wireless infrastructure is expanding. Communities deserve access to clear information about these installations, the opportunity to voice concerns, and meaningful consideration of their experiences before more equipment is added.
Our family should not have to feel that we must choose between participating in modern life and feeling well in our own community. Please listen to the people who are raising these concerns.
If EMF fields, and RF exposure, cause cancer, then why don't amateur radio operators have a greater incidence of such cancers than non-amateur-radio operators?

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.
I know my family is impacted because we get headaches near 5G towers and our sleep is impacted, too.
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.
I am concerned about the proliferation of 5g cell towers and their effect on our population and environment. Some organizations such as the WHO and Health Canada have suggested that their studies show limited impact to people and animals (minor effect on skin and eyes) but other studies cite those studies were not complete (science direct.org /toxology report.) They state that 5g indeed affects skin and eyes but also daily exposure will impact people’s entire system. Also stated that children are particularly vulnerable to 5g radiation. I am particularly concerned for my grandchildren and their health as well as our population, wildlife and our environment.
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields(EMF,) Radio Frequency (RF), and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a concerned member of the public. Both my husband and myself developed tinnitus after a cell tower was installed in our neighborhood. It has caused nervous tension and sleep disturbances for the last 5 years. My husband has also developed repeated issues with vertigo which has dramatically affected our lives.
I support HHS in taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health, medicine, biology and public health and the experiences of individuals and families who report having been affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence.
I urge the 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 the opportunity to be heard.
I had a RF burn to my ear face neck hands from holding a cell phone. I was never compensated for my injury as I couldn't prove it Scientificaly I was working selling them at the time I suffered with a microwave burn for many years
