I have worked on cell towers. You cannot climb a 5g tower but you can hold a 5 g phone. I have Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) if I pick up a iPhone with 5 g my hands will tingle. If I put the phone in my pocket my leg will feel the effects. This affects people differently based on factors I really don’t know. It’s the same reason living near power lines gives people rare conditions. The goal would be to make a 4 g system connected to a 5 g like system that people don’t have to touch. Give people 4 g phones with converters at the towers.

For years I've said that the towers affected my sense of balance and introduced ringing in my ears. It is always stronger when new towers and/or added frequencies occur. I believe that the signals travel on wind too. I've had several episodes immediately following towers being added to areas near my homes over the past 7 years in both Maryland and Florida. The pattern is that I begin with dizziness, complete unbalanced and vertigo symptoms. When it's at its worst, I'm curled up on the ground up to an hour until it passes. Doctors say I test fine (ENT, brain scans, balance tests, labwork). It always relates to new towers. The ENT said it "could be" a type of Meniere's Disease, but that doesn't make sense when all of the medical conditions were ruled out. The only factor remaining was cell tower growth nearby. It definitely has affected my life. Overall, I have always been sensitive to electric energy but the tower waves are much more intense. I believe that when the wind carries stronger signals, I experience heavier ringing in my ears and headaches, sometimes acoompanied by nausea. I think it's extremely important to study this and act quickly. Thank you.

Our community has been having issues related to the cell towers put up, and the second new cell timer put up recently. These towers are close to our community schools and our community. Our childeren have been experiencing high blood pressure, swelling, headaches, and bloody noses. Our community is also at risk of thyroid issues. Doctors are claiming this is genetic. Our family has never had issues with our thyroid until now and we are a family of 7. All of us are having issues with our thyroid. One of my children also suffer from suicidal intentions with her mental health and fear these cell towers dont make things easier for any of us.

I am writing to formally request stricter regulations on anthropogenic electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and to advocate for the official medical recognition of Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS). Current public exposure standards fail to account for non-thermal, biological effects that severely impact human health. Scientific evidence proves that EHS is a definitive neurological disorder characterized by oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and objective physiological biomarkers. Furthermore, recent molecular research highlights that chronic EMF exposure triggers genetic toxicity and impairs vital cellular repair mechanisms. To support this urgent need for tighter biological safety limits, I submit the following peer-reviewed scientific studies: 1. On DNA Damage and Genetic Toxicity: Sonzogni L, Al-Choboq J, Combemale P, et al. Skin Fibroblasts from Individuals Self-Diagnosed as Electrosensitive Reveal Two Distinct Subsets with Delayed Nucleoshuttling of the ATM Protein in Common. International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 2025;26(10):4792. doi: 10.3390/ijms26104792. This crucial study confirms that individuals with EHS suffer from a delayed or impaired cellular response to DNA double-strand breaks when exposed to EMFs, providing clear evidence of genetic vulnerability and organic pathology. 2. On the International Scientific Consensus: Belpomme D, Carlo GL, Irigaray P, et al. The Critical Importance of Molecular Biomarkers and Imaging in the Study of Electrohypersensitivity. A Scientific Consensus International Report. International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 2021;22(14):7321. doi: 10.3390/ijms22147321. This consensus report officially classifies EHS as a neurological disorder involving altered cerebral blood flow, oxidative stress, and elevated inflammatory markers such as histamine. 3. On Population Prevalence and Global Health Impact: McCredden JE, McLean L, Steinemann A. Wireless sensitivity and co-morbidities: A prevalence study in Australia, Canada, and the United States. Next Research. 2026;8:101577. doi: 10.1016/j.nexres.2026.101577. This recent epidemiological research indicates that up to 12.6% of the general population across the US, Canada, and Australia reports sensitivity to wireless radiation, representing millions of citizens experiencing EMF-related health barriers. I urge the HHS to adopt the Precautionary Principle, revise current guidelines to include non-thermal biological thresholds, and establish dedicated healthcare protocols to protect the rights and lives of medically vulnerable EMF-sensitive individuals.

My life has changed dramatically since the advancement of 5G, 6G, Smart Meters, Wi-Fi, Smart phones, Smart TV's, Smart Water Meters, Smart Refrigerators, etc., everything is coming out SMART. I was getting sicker and sicker (2019 - 2025) living in my home in Myrtle Beach, S.C. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, my ears ring to the umpth degree, I cannot think straight, I'm exhausted all the time. I started researching what was making me so ill. I found out that within a three mile radius of my home there were 600 5G Towers and Antennas. I was literally being fried as if I were in a microwave oven because the radioactive frequencies from all this technology. My husband and I decided we had to move away from all the technology pulverizing us to a bad end. At 66 years old moving was very hard on us. We moved and my health has improved to a degree but, I still have 100 5G Towers and Antennas within a three mile radius of our new home. My ears still ring so loudly I can't think sometimes. My sleep is better although it is broken every night. Please help us by stopping the technology that is killing us all.

10 years ago in Sept 2016 I was a healthy 24 year old who just found out I was expecting my first baby. That month my small office sold my parking spot for a big cell tower to be built. That next month my health completely plummeted. A rash completely took over my face, arms, neck, and chest and I soon miscarried the baby (blighted ovum) took me years to fully recover. Interesting in my small office about half of the people had a health crisis that month. The secretary walked in one day, got to work and then couldnt stand up again. She had to get wheeled out in her office chair and was diagnosed with some sort of fungal infection. Took her months of rehab to walk again. My boss had a terrible diverticulitis flair and another person had a mini stroke. Other factors I wonder about is the susceptibility of those with hEDS or those with additional mold exposure as these other factors for me. I'm very suspicious that it was a combination of these factors. And that's why not everyone experiences the same reactions.

I live in Germany and used to work for IBM and Airbus Helicopters. In April 2000, I had an epileptic seizure. My Neurologist sent me to a center for Epilepsy and they found an abnormality in my brain called "Polymicrogeria": many little wrinkles. They explained that this abnormality in the brain is formed by too few Oxygen in my Mothers womb. It all made sense. Since birth I have always had a little "Hemiparesis" on the left side of my body. That was all. Beside the problems moving my hand, I was healthy. I agreed to try out anti-epileptica. After a while neurologists had found "Keppra" that kept me stable without making my extremities shake or making me sleepy. I did not have seizures until 2012. Then, seizures started again. The answer to my question: "Why?" was "Age". That was rediculous, as I was 40, not 90. I got each new medicine that was released. However, the seizures remained. The two drugs I still take (Lacosamid and Briviact) dampen the activity of neurotransmitters and receptors in my brain.Seizures remained and became worse. I started falling. In 2020 my wife said, she cannot cope with my epilepsy, so we divorced. Neurologists and a Rehabilitation clinic said that I was drug-resistant. In Europe, this led to a pension due to incapacity for work. I could stay at home. Then I sat alone at home and recalled what had happened in the years between 2000 and 2020. I started using WiFi, Cell Phone and Blue-Tooth. Could that have causes my misery? I bought devices that measure and save RF-Power densities. Computers, Excell, etc. was my profession, so I used these devices for 7x24 measurements that I compared with the date/time of my seizures. I continued these with correlation and regression analyses that for 2 years showed the same result - Days with low measured results => hardly ever sizures - Days with high measurements (high average or high peak values) => seizures were certain after a couple of seconds to 3 hours I published the results at my webpage: https://epi.frankmathieu.de Here you see the correlation between RF average per day and count of seizures during this day. The results are backed up by a regression analyses. RF-Power density in µW/m² and dbm correlate best with seizure count. This year, I got the confirmation, when I shielded the ceiling of my flat with paint from YShield against the WiFi from above that had caused drop attacks. I do not have any seizure, only if I leave my flat. The RF-Radiation 2.4GHz from above did hit me multiple times per second with power densities of up to 3000µW/m². Now it is less than 1µW/m². Now, the WiFi is less than

A new high voltage transmission line was placed in my front yard in Granger, Tx without public comment in 2024. My symptoms of MS have flared significantly and now we add Psoriasis to my autoimmune disease list. This action by Oncor is forcing me out of my newly renovated forever home for my disability.This is not natural MA progression to add new issues. My body is electrically short circuiting with no new lesions or degradation of nerves.

“I hope that HHS will use this opportunity to create a comprehensive report on the current medical, biological, and public health knowledge regarding these effects and take action on that. Please consider the experiences of those affected by this radiation as part of what is reviewed to come up with what should be the scientific underpinnings to actual protective standards and action by the federal government.”

Federal Research Priorities 16. What are the highest priority research gaps regarding EMF and RF radiation and public health that the federal health agencies should address? I am in healthcare industry. I am not aware of comprehensive statement by HHS or similar authoritative agency on safety of the wide range of RF and EMF devices and the levels - acute or cumulative - of emissions. For my tax monies I expect a government agency to step up and step in to the gap created by industry who likely are not enthusiastic for such studies to be conducted. My position for science-based conclusions goes across industries that have widespread exposure to humans, animals and the environment. The potential that a large number of sub-studies can be conducted to reach a comprehensive conclusion and I hope the agency gets after the project. I am pessimistic the results will be good as it pertains to impact on humans, animals and environment.
