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 both someone who has been harmed by electromagnetic radiation, and from the perspective as a health care provider. When NY State installed a "smart" meter on my home in Rockland County many years ago, they did so right outside my bedroom window, about 4 feet from where my head was each night in my bed. Soon after, I began waking up early in the morning with shortness of breath and feeling like I was having a panic attack. I had never had a panic attack in my life and didn't even ever have anxiety. I would jump out of bed and run out the front door gasping for air. After a few minutes in fresh air, on the opposite side of the house, the symptoms would subside. This happened every night when I slept in my house. If I slept elsewhere, it didn't happen. Eventually I moved from that house. I now live in Massachusetts where Eversource is in the process of installing "smart" meters on all houses in the state. If we opt out, we have to pay $34/month for someone to come read our meter. The cost of living in Massachusetts is already insanely high and I will not be able to opt out. I have told Eversource this. I have told them I know from prior experience that I know RF makes me ill, and they say these are my only choices. When I educate parents about their children and EMFs, I always make sure that they are aware that wireless radiation is not harmless and that they have to take precautions, especially for their small, young children. Please help us out with this issue. It's exhausting and maddening trying to go up against these big corporations by ourselves. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Maureen Satriano Hadley, MA

SERIOUSLY? Everyone I know understands the dangers of EMFs and WIFI Radiation exposure. It's been studied. We all know of the harm it can and does cause to human bodies. We don't really need years of study by agencies that are simply trying to push through more detrimental stuff on the public. But, if you really need us to tell you we're against this radiation exposure ... here it is. STOP POISONING US!!! Enough is enough. We know what we know and so do you all. We saw all the phony research on autism, covid, vaccines, etc. I could tell 35 years ago that SIDS was mostly due to vaccines on babies at 2, 4 and 6 month olds. Yet, here we are and the "experts" are still arguing that obvious link. Let's not take any more time to handle this radiation exposure risk to us all. Let's get it regulated NOW!!! Please!!!!

Hello, I am submitting a comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I live in Eugene, Oregon. About 2 years ago, our electric company forced everyone to have a SMART meter installed on their homes. I tried to request an analog meter but was denied. I have friends that would not allow them on the property, and their electricity was shut off and threats of arrest until they complied. I was given the option to opt out of the signal, which I have to pay extra for. They say the extra cost is for sending out meter readers, but I have always paid for this service. Since the SMART meter installation, even though I have the signal turned off there is still dirty electricity throughout my entire home, and I have difficulty breathing and difficulty sleeping through the night. I have spoken at multiple board meetings about the adverse health effects of the SMART meter, asking for the option of an analog meter, but am told that I will never be given that option because the electric company owns the meter. I am also a mother of 4 children. One of my daughters has chronic headaches when she is at school. She says that it is from being on computers all day long. We have hard-wired internet at home, and she does not experience headaches when using the computer at home. Please advocate for people to make their own choices with their home environment. Also, fiber optics is used in our home for internet, and it is very effective when used in schools overseas, not exposing our children to harmful EMFs all day long. 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. I greatly appreciate your efforts in providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

HHS how wireless radiation has affected you, your child, your family, or someone you care about. You may describe the source and duration of the exposure, health effects experienced, when they began, whether reducing exposure made a difference, and how these experiences have affected daily life. If you are an ally, describe why you support people affected by wireless radiation and why you believe HHS should address this issue.

We started noticing ringing in the ears a decade ago, seems it goes up when we pass a 5G , 4 or 3g towers. Why does this happen and Why are these towers only on school campuses or close proximity? Seems something needs to be done with studies on these towers long before humans are exposed to them, especially our very young kiddos! I’ve seen many towers on preschool areas! Shame on telecom companies and cities to allow this to happen

Wireless Radiation Exposure is a known carcinogen. I have experienced the detrimental effects of these exposures, and so has my family. Our nervouse systems, sleep cycles, cognitive abilities are negatively impacted. Symptoms of these deleterious exposures include anxiety, headaches, restlessness, sleeplessness, brain fog, arthritis/joint pain, and more. Please protect humanity from these manmade harmful fields/radiation. It is your job.

I live near a 5G tower and it's a nightmare. Can't sleep, have headaches all the time, every day. I feel dizzy sometimes.

This comment is regarding EMF's, RF's and wireless radiation exposure. I'm just a concerned citizen because years ago I read about the exposure from EMF's in microwave oven's and never put one in my house. There is far too much exposure from all of these now especially to the young children. We don't really now how it will affect them when they are older or even now. Will there be more cancer's, new cancer's and what about young adults having trouble getting pregnant. There seems to be more of that now. Is that from the exposure and what will it do to the young children that had exposure while invitro. There needs to be more testing on what is really happening to the public in all of this. Why wait until the damage is done! This affects everyone, even your family members.
