Reports recurring hand pain when using a Fitbit and phone and describes concern about personal sensitivit…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I wore a Fitbit on my wrist and within the first 12 hours my hand became very sore and achy. My mom and husband both wore it for a few days with no impact. I tried it again and it was incredibly painful for me. I called the company and they put me through to their safety department and the person told me to take it off immediately and issued a full refund. I can only use my phone in small increments because my hands hurt when I hold it. I am very certain that my body is highly sensitive to wireless radiation or EMFs and concerned that they are all around me.

Reports tumors, cancers and cognitive complaints among neighbors near a cell tower and asks for further s…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am writing as an individual. A mother, a neighbor. Almost every woman on my block with a cell tower has had a glandular tumor or cancer. (2 salivary tumors, 2 breast, bone) . Brain fog, ability to recall words is a common complaint. I would like there to be more studies on this.

Presents excerpts of studies concerning tower exposure, nonthermal effects, symptoms and exposure mapping…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
There is a lot of available information on this topic. For example... "Biological effects of cell tower radiation on human body": Continuous exposure to microwave radiations from Cell phone towers, TV and FM towers cause serious health problems over the years. Microwave radiation effects are classified as-thermal and non-thermal. The current exposure safety standards are mainly based on the thermal effects, which are inadequate. Measurements have been carried out at various places near the cell towers and it has been found that the radiation levels are very high. This paper reviews various epidemiological and experimental studies, which show significant biological effects far below the current standards. Also, the details of Radiation Shield are given, which consists of orthogonally polarized multiple broad band monopole antennas to absorb the undesired radiation (Neha Kumar, Girish Kumar ISMOT, Delhi, India, 678-679, 2009). "Evaluation study of radio frequency radiation effects from cell phone towers on human health": The presence of a large number of cell phone towers on the roofs of buildings inside cities raises several questions about whether the radiated electromagnetic frequency (EMF) and power spectrum density (PSD) affect the population even if the towers were installed based on the exiting conditions and standards in the cities. This paper aims to answer all these ambiguous questions by measuring the emitted EMF from the local towers built in a small city of Al-Kut in Iraq. This study was set to investigate the health impact of EMF radiation from the cell phone towers and determine how this EMF effects on the human immunity to diseases. The practical measurements were obtained using the EMF meter and the global positioning system (GPS) and employing the geographical information system (GIS). In this paper, two study groups were selected. The first one lived in the area with three installed towers at distance of 50–100 m between them. The second group resided in the area where towers were installed outside its borders at distances of more than 500 m. The results show that the first group suffers from a health problem much more than the second one. In addition, a high percentage of residences were the most educated, but the less knowledgeable people about EMF radiation impacts at long-term exposure, a fact that can be attributed to the academic curriculum deficiency. Therefore, the study has recommended integrating environmental concepts in the governmental institutions and organizations for all mature persons, irrespective of their academic qualification, to increase people’s awareness about this topic (Radioelectronics and Communications Systems 64 (3), 155-164, 2021). "Journal of Pediatrics Research Reviews & Reports": academia.edu Journal of Pediatrics Research Reviews & Reports Iyyanki Muralikrishna, Prisilla Jayanthi The universal study reveals that Electromagnetic Frequency (EMF) exposure is upsetting the environment. It focuses keenly on the people residing in the neighboring of the base stations/mobile towers were affected by environmental radiation pollution. The effect of EMF radiation on human life is unusually increasing on dayto-day basis. As the number of customers using mobiles rises, one would see the mobile phone towers/base trans-receiver station (BTS) increases; and this has a great and huge impact on radiation hazards. Mobile phones have the capability of emitting radiations that would affect human tissues and it runs a two-way communication paradigm. Radio Frequency (RF) wave establishes communication around the globe in the mobile network. However, the radiations emitted by RF waves are harmful if absorbed into the human tissues. The most side effects experienced when nearer to these towers are headaches, discomfort, anxiety and other diseases. The radiation hazards are found to be extraordinarily more where the cell towers were installed nearer to educational institutes, healthcare and few residential areas. They were recommended to move/stay away from such areas, the radiations can cause tumors, disturbance of the nervous system and other diseases. The study is to understand the radiation exposure limits that would protect the public health from the EMF exposure. RF radiations were mapped by geographic information system (GIS) based measuring approach that helps in detecting places where users are in health hazards in exposed areas. This helps government and health organization to estimate the distribution of radiation in areas nearer to the location of mobile towers. Realization among the people was made to live and spend less time based on the radiation levels of exposure with the mobile towers. The analysis was carried out by STATA software to measure the poisson exposure of confidence interval (Muralikrishna).

Reports severe reactions and hypersensitivity attributed to Wi-Fi and digital wireless signals, describes…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I had my first (violent) reaction to WiFi 11/07 when I used my husband's laptop in our hotel room. I started vomiting on/off the rest of the Sun. night. I was so weak I couldn't stand that morning. He put me into the car in my PJ's to go to our family Thanksgiving event. When I got to our event, I went to bed and slept for 2 1/2 days: didn't know anything during that time. Never moved. Then when RF switched from Analogue to Digital 06/09, I started having episodes of my legs going numb: couldn't stand. I took me months to figure out why. I had to get "wired internet in our house"; no WiFi ever. When I was where any WiFi was, I'd get dizzy and sick to my stomach until I left the area. I found ongoing items to help mitigate my extreme sensitivity. But then WiFi is increasing: Elan Musk's 22,000 communication satellites. About 1/3 of US are hyper- sensitive or so I've read in a book by Firstenberg, MD- "The Invisible Rainbow: history of electricity and life. He's hypersensitive.} 1/3 of US are moderately sensitive. Where I live, new build, has materials that are somewhat limiting the "BEAMS" which I felt the first time I entered the area which is why I live here. The EMF Hypersensitivity is something I struggle against anytime I'm away from my house. I take things w/me when I go to hotel room which help me cope. If these things that I use didn't exist, I feel I would have expired long ago with medical evidence as to why/what happened. There a group of Bio-Initiative Scientists who are aware of the EMF challenges to the human body and they're trying to get the word out. But the MOBILE PHONE- tech companies have done all they could to sabotage this information from getting reliably to the public. Some have even that their lives threatened unless they shut up. This came together shortly after 06/09 as i recall.

Requests research and information on long-term cellphone, Wi-Fi and 5G exposure.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I’m concerned about the long term effects and how little science research has been done on cell phone and WiFi especially with the roll out of 5G and much higher in the figure. We deserve to know the research.

Reports tinnitus, severe nausea, sleep loss and relocation associated with smart meters and towers, and a…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I developed severe tinnitus. Different frequency in each ear. I developed dizziness and severe nausea. So bad I struggled to feed my cats. I heard very deep frequencies in the house. It felt like the room was breathing and caused my cats to growl deeply. It was so bad I checked into a psyche ward because I couldn't take it. 4 months of severe nausea. 6 days in the facility and symptoms got better. Went home. Again developed severe nausea. I had to flee my house which went into a short sale. 2 years before that, i was living with my mother,from day 1 of turning on Smart meters, the tinnitus there started. I wasn't sleeping well but my mother couldn't hear the noise. She was 80 tho. So everyone else got up and the noise of the day started. After a few months of barely sleeping, I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. So, I bought said house, which I fled for an apartment. I haven't had a restful night since they forced smart meters and put towers up everywhere. 11 years and not 1 good nights sleep. Imagine night after night when you want to sleep, but even with earplugs in, it's never quiet. It isn't physical, believe me. And, it's funny how the noise in my ears is different depending where I've lived. I'm sure the physical damage will show up in time but I've aged a decade in the last year. I look 20 years older than I am. I'm convinced it killed all 3 cats. Had no health issues, then all 3 dead in a matter of months.

Attributes neurological and heart symptoms and inability to work in offices to EMFs; requests regulation …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Has someone who has been negatively affected healthwise from exposure to EMF, along with power companies switch to smart meters, we are surrounded by this unseen toxin to our nervous system and many times have no choice but to deal with the negative neurological side effects, and also heart side effects. I am not able to work in any type of office building set up without having debilitating symptoms which has made my life very challenging to make an income. I think radio frequency sickness is the term they use in Europe and I do believe that they have programs or disabilities that are connected to it. I would like to see more regulation with the FCC and more education and ways that we can protect ourselves or eliminate this type of unseen Health toxin from our environment. On top of that I do not believe our children should be exposed to so much in their school setting I have seen schools in my state of Wisconsin that have cell phone towers on the schools and also with all the Wi-Fi frequencies and they're using laptops for a lot of their school they're in front of screens and blue light and EMF radiation their skulls are not fully formed until a certain age which also damages and has more of an effect. On top of that right now the state of Wisconsin is also fighting to keep out a 765 line that is the largest power line we would ever experience going through rural areas Farms that could cause stray voltage along with which could possibly completely shut down a dairy operation or livestock Farm because the cattle gets sick because they do not drink the water if it has a shock to it and also their bodies are undergoing to high levels of electricity. I really hope that these messages get heard it's a real problem it should be addressed and we shouldn't have to live in a world where we are surrounded by high EMF fields along with any type of stray voltage.
