I'm a targeted individual who has been attacked with DEW's. I was burned on my leg and tongue, had extremely high levels of radiation hit me every night for a year,, I bought a radiation meter to register the amount of my attack and have pictures to prove this, My legs were attacked and I now have limited my mobility. This is torture being used on US citizens and an act of war. www.targetedjustice.com.

Dear HHS Representatives, Thank you for inviting public participation in this important conversation! I am a New York City resident, artist, and founder of **1-800-EARTH**, an emerging initiative dedicated to humane innovation, environmental responsibility, and making technology more inclusive of people with different sensitivities and accessibility needs. I am writing to share my personal experiences, explain how they inspired my passion for more human-centered technology, and express my hope for a future in which technological innovation and human well-being advance together. **My Personal Experience** I experience brain fog and tingling sensations in my hands, particularly during computer and cellphone use. I have noticed that these symptoms improve when I spend time away from my screen and keyboard. I recognize that these symptoms can have multiple possible causes, and I do not wish to assume that electromagnetic exposure is responsible. However, these experiences have made me deeply interested in understanding how technology affects different people and how we can better accommodate individuals reporting environmental or electromagnetic sensitivities. My experiences have also helped inspire my work toward developing and supporting technologies that prioritize accessibility, comfort, human well-being, and environmental responsibility. I believe that people reporting these sensitivities deserve to be heard respectfully, supported with practical options, and included in rigorous, independent scientific research. **Learning From History and Preventing Unnecessary Harm** History reminds us that our understanding of the health and environmental impacts of widely adopted technologies and chemicals can evolve over time. DDT, for example, was once used extensively before its serious environmental consequences became more widely understood. I am not suggesting that cellphone radiation has been demonstrated to cause the same harms as DDT. Rather, I believe this history illustrates the importance of remaining open to new evidence, continuing independent research, and taking reasonable steps to prevent avoidable harm. My hope is that we can identify potential risks early, evaluate them scientifically, and develop thoughtful solutions before unnecessary harm occurs. **A Collaborative Vision for Technology** I deeply appreciate the extraordinary possibilities that modern technology has created. My intention is not to oppose telecommunications companies, wireless innovation, or technological progress. Rather, I believe researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and individuals with different sensitivities can collaborate to develop technologies that accommodate a wider range of human needs. I would welcome greater attention to: - Affordable and accessible wired internet connections alongside wireless options. - Devices that can function offline or with wireless transmissions disabled. - Clear, accessible consumer information about electronic devices and electromagnetic exposure. - Continued independent research into potential health and environmental effects of radiofrequency radiation and other electromagnetic fields. - Inclusive product design that considers people with sensory sensitivities, disabilities, and different accessibility needs. - Opportunities for constructive collaboration between technology developers, public health researchers, and the communities they serve. **Innovation Through Inclusion** I believe that making technology more inclusive can create opportunities for innovation, entrepreneurship, and responsible economic development. Supporting sensitive individuals does not have to come at the expense of technological advancement. It can inspire new products, services, and design approaches that benefit a broader population. I am particularly interested in a future where people have meaningful choices about how they connect, communicate, work, and interact with electronic devices. My hope is that technological progress will increasingly be measured not only by speed, convenience, and connectivity, but also by accessibility, human well-being, environmental stewardship, and quality of life. **An Invitation to Collaborate** I appreciate the opportunity to contribute to this discussion and hope HHS will continue encouraging thoughtful scientific inquiry and collaboration across communities and industries. As the founder of 1-800-EARTH, I would welcome opportunities to contribute ideas and participate in collaborative efforts toward more humane, accessible, and environmentally responsible technology. I want to work **WITH** researchers, policymakers, and the technology industry, not against them. After all, isn't the true purpose of phones and communication technology to bring people together? :-) Thank you for your time and consideration!

High usage of land mobile radios from 1 watt to 30 watts while active duty and as a civilian. Handheld and base stations within 1 foot of face, kidneys and eyes. Many times all day. Line of site systems radiating 39 watts 4 feet from bed where one slept and operated many weeks in a row. In 1992 new radios from Motorola came in with .5 meter handset cord from a 19 watt radio that was labeled "Warning. Do not operate within 3 feet of face. Satellite terminals up to 1kilowatt. After 10 years radiation warning signs showed up. No Warning signs about sidelobe rf exposure about 1 mw/cm². No real training on rf exposure and damage to eyesight. Today mifis with high power 1.5 watts are pocket size and not labeled as RF exposure and keep away from eyes and vital organs.Home satellite dishes are same way. No warnings.

In response to the Request for Information announced by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on September 17, 2026, the Advocacy Team at Children’s Health Defense (CHD) is submitting this comment to address growing concerns that the rapid expansion of wireless infrastructure and technology is outpacing our understanding of the harms it may pose to health and the environment. The FCC regulates communications and technology, but HHS and its agencies have the public health and scientific expertise needed to evaluate the health effects of wireless radiation exposure. The FCC’s current radiofrequency (RF) guidelines were established three decades ago in 1996— with no updates since. Wireless technology and the densification of wireless infrastructure has increased dramatically since the standards were first established. Yet the FCC has not provided the public with an adequate justification that its RF radiation guidelines are protective of public health in today’s highly dense exposure environments. CHD has heard directly from and worked with several people that have experienced significant health issues they associate with wireless radiation exposure. In Pittsfield, Massachusetts, lawyers working on behalf of CHD represented residents who reported serious health effects directly following the installation and activation of a cell tower in their neighborhood. Many of these individuals were forced to leave their homes as a result, often without meaningful notice or opportunity for community input. It is of utmost importance that these experiences are not dismissed as they warrant serious and independent scientific investigation. We have also heard from numerous parents concerned about the growing presence of wireless devices and screen-based technology in schools. Screen use and wireless connectivity have become a normal part of the school day, exposing vulnerable children to this invisible toxin. This is the first generation of children who will experience cradle to grave exposure. We must not wait for another generation of children to grow up before determining whether existing protections adequately address long-term, cumulative, and developmental exposure. CHD also works with practitioners who report treating patients experiencing symptoms of Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome (EMR-S). Symptoms include headaches, nausea, dizziness, brain fog, heart palpitations, insomnia, tinnitus and more serious diseases like cancer, neurological issues, and infertility. These individual experiences may be a warning of the widespread public health crisis that may result from the continued, uncontrolled deployment of wireless infrastructure and technology must not be dismissed or excluded from consideration. Furthermore, their experiences give us important insights into potential areas of scientific investigation.. Federal preemption presents an additional concern because it prevents communities from considering the health and environmental effects of wireless radiation exposure . Communities deserve transparency and a meaningful opportunity to raise legitimate concerns about infrastructure that may affect their neighborhoods and create unavoidable long-term exposure to wireless radiation. CHD urges HHS to support independent, transparent scientific investigation on the health effects of RF radiation exposure, including impacts on children, pregnancy and fertility, long-term consequences, cumulative exposure, and environmental impacts. Research should be independently funded and free from industry influence. We cannot assume that the FCC’s RF radiation guidelines established in 1996 adequately protect public health, simply because they remain in place. Wireless technology itself, the densification of wireless infrastructure, and the nature and duration of exposure have all changed dramatically since the guidelines were adopted 30 years ago. Our scientific understanding must keep pace. Our children should not be the guinea pigs for this nationwide experiment. We urge HHS to investigate the evidence, identify the research gaps, and fund the independent science necessary to determine whether existing protections are still relevant and adequately protect public health. Sincerely, Stephanie Locricchio Senior Advocacy Manager Children’s Health Defense Michael Kane Director of Advocacy Children’s Health Defense

I'd like to submit for consideration that this is the dumbest possible way to go about this. Our HHS head is far too stupid to be running this organization. We need qualified people in these positions. We do not need brain worm riddled sycophants who eat road kill and drink raw milk. Your average bumpkin has exactly nothing to add about radio frequencies. This is more stupid bullshit from the dumbest administration the United States has ever had.

Public signal based transmission doesn't effect me much at all But I find that removing my phone's data saver, the satellite radiating information into my phone directly starts giving me headaches I believe it might be certain series of satellites, but it commonly acts up on certain hours of the day If I turn data saver on it doesn't effect me Beyond a extremely light sensation every days I find Bluetooth to be irritating beyond 5 hours exposure I believe a 20 min rest break fully counters the harm but I am unsure if it's correct

Bonjour, je subit un harcèlement électromagnetique depuis bientôt 4 ans. Torture sonore qui provoque nausée, maux de tête, vomissements (type syndrome de la havane) un son à rendre fou et à se cogner la tête dans le mur. Je subit régulièrement des grosses privations de sommeil. J’ai des vibrations de mon corps aussi . Le Voisinage est complice et participe à cet harcèlement atroce. Depuis 4 ans ma vie est un enfer.

I have personal experiences which I feel relate to health and safety. My father died of cancer 5 years ago. He didn't like or use cell phones but once he had one that was smart he slept with it by his head listening to music and talked to friends for hours with it by his head. After getting the smart cell phone he got cancer within 2 years of having the smart phone and died within 3 months of diagnosis. He had a growth in his neck next to where he would rest his cell phone on his pillow in bed. He believed and so do I that the cancer was because of his cell phone use. I personally can not sleep when wifi is on or near me. When traveling, I have to sleep with a EMF blocking hat to sleep, otherwise my brain has the to do list running all night long. I try to make our cell phones safer by putting EMF shielding fabric in our cell phone cases but I worry about my kids and their use. They do not understand the dangers. They say everyone has their cell phones with them all the time but they are not old enough to see the evidence or experience friends dying from the shape of a tumor where they held their cell phones up to their heads. We have 3 additional friends who died of brain cancer besides my dad. If regulations were nation wide kids would understand the actual dangers. We need safer regulations!

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 affects my autistic kids by exasperating his conditions. I have to detox him when getting home its ridiculous. I urge HHS to take 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.
