Hello. My name is Lynn Jordan. I started having bothersome symptoms when 5G was first installed two years ago (around February in 2024). I remember I was walking around town in Hartsville, a small town in South Carolina, and my ears started crackling, my heart started beating in an uncomfortable way and I started feeling irradiated. I had the same symptoms when 6G was installed in my area earlier this year. My ears crackled, my heart beat uncomfortably and I felt irradiated. My symptoms went away when I went back home, though it took about 15 minutes or so for them to completely fade away. Now I can go into town and be comfortable.

I am responding as a parent and concerned member of the public who is deeply concerned about the potential health and wellbeing effects of wireless radiation exposure on my children and family. As a parent, I am increasingly concerned that my children’s exposure to wireless technology is becoming unavoidable. They are exposed to wireless devices and networks both at school and at home, often for extended periods, with limited ability to control or reduce their exposure. This raises concerns about the cumulative effects of prolonged exposure during childhood, a critical period of growth and development. My concerns extend beyond screen time to the radiofrequency radiation emitted by wireless devices, including wireless earbuds such as AirPods, which are heavily marketed to children and teenagers. These devices sit directly in the ears, close to the head, yet the potential health implications of frequent and prolonged use are not made sufficiently clear to consumers. I am concerned about possible long-term effects and believe these products warrant independent research and clear, accessible safety information. Similarly, phones, tablets, Chromebooks and laptops are used against or very close to the body for extended periods. Phones may be held against the head during calls, tucked into bras against breast tissue, carried in pockets near reproductive organs, or placed on the lap or chest while using a laptop or tablet. I am particularly concerned about potential effects on reproductive health, including fertility and the developing reproductive systems of children and teenagers. These concerns deserve rigorous scientific investigation rather than assumptions that everyday exposure is necessarily harmless. Wireless devices are marketed to young people as essential for education, communication and entertainment, yet meaningful safety warnings are often difficult to find, buried in user manuals or printed in tiny text. Consumers should not have to search through fine print to understand potential risks associated with the products they and their children use daily. I believe manufacturers should be required to display prominent, standardised warning labels directly on wireless devices and their packaging, clearly explaining radiofrequency emissions, recommended precautions and relevant uncertainties in the scientific evidence. These warnings should be visible before purchase, not hidden in instruction manuals. Legislation should ensure that no device is sold without clear and conspicuous safety information, particularly where children and teenagers are the intended users. My concerns also include potential effects on sleep quality, energy levels, concentration and overall wellbeing, alongside questions about long-term health and reported associations between radiofrequency exposure and certain tumours. While research continues to evolve, families deserve transparent information and independent investigation into these potential risks. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate the scientific evidence, investigate gaps in current research, examine cumulative and long-term exposure, and prioritise children and other potentially vulnerable populations. I also urge greater transparency, public education, precautionary measures and enforceable consumer protections. Our children should not be expected to bear the consequences of widespread wireless technology use without adequate research, transparent information and meaningful safeguards. Their long-term health, safety and wellbeing must come first. Thank you for providing families with an opportunity to have their concerns heard.

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 mother and take great care of our family's health from a holistic perspective and in a preventative manner. I think we need be to extra cautious with EMF and RF exposure in our environment especially for our youngest, oldest and more vulnerable populations. 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.

Wireless radiation has created created chronic fatigue. I hope you recognize that we are being poisoned with EMF's everywhere. IT MUST END!

PLEASE sprite us and our precious children from RF Radiation and wireless radiation exposure. These are detrimental to our health and to the health of all life on our planet.

Hello. I am extremely concerned with the amount of toxic EMF radiation that my children and I are exposed to every single day. I am questioning if some of our health issues are related to this EMF exposure- ringing in our ears, heart palpitations, or body aches when handling electronic devices like laptops and phones. Please get rid of the smart meters outside of our homes which are poisoning us and invading our privacy. Remove the 5G towers that are in our neighborhoods and near schools. Children are even more susceptible to EMF radiation than adults. Manufacture headphones that are safer to be on our heads for hours at a time like the "ibrain airtube headphones". Unfortunately, the quality of the few brands that do make them is very poor. We spend around $65 dollars per headphone set and they only last a couple of months before they break. This EMF radiation surrounds us all day in our homes and literally almost everywhere else. Please study the harmful effects and put laws and safety regulations in place to protect us. Make safer products to protect us, too, like the airtube headphones. Thank you.

A dear friend of mine has been deeply affected by the EMF field that they can not escape from. He has been unable to work for 7 years during this time he has had the occasion to be away from radiation and experiences relief from the chronic fatigue and brain fogg but is unable to restructure his life because he is so sick and has a family struggling to just maintain. His doctors will not acknowledge his sickness because these causes have not been studied properly. No one should be subject to influences that are so devastating.

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 and citizen. In the last 10 years, the number of cell towers in every area that I've lived have increased exponentially. Their negative effect on the community is much further reaching than the severely outdated research being used to create legislation, would suggest. Seeing the presence of towers kept me from buying homes for fear that the harmful EMF and microwave radiation would cause long term health issues for my family, we moved from a heavily populated area to a much more rural one and still we are plagued by their presence- they are all over the college campus near us, endangering all the students. No technology should be assumed safe until proven dangerous. Clearly big telecom does not want the truth about the harms of these wireless emitting devices to be discovered, otherwise they would be open and thorough about the research and wouldn't be making it so difficult for people to comment, effect legislation, or protest them. The harm that these antennas create NEEDS to be reviewed by regulatory agencies that are not captured. You (the government) owe it to your citizens to protect them, not to harm. Continuance of this head in the sand approach is harm, active harm. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. NOW COME ON, WHY SUCH A WEIRD SHORT BOX TO TYPE IN?? And...if these fields were good, why do cell tower companies keep any public comment about anything BUT health? You can only fight them with OTHER comments, even though there is tons and tons of evidence...just plot cancer cases x cell tower locations!
