No to all forms of harmful emf's! We are a wired rural family with a landline and only use wireless when absolutely necessary. There are all kinds of studies saying many forms of emfs are harmful to humans and wildlife. No to mega cell towers, data centers and flock cameras - please value human life over the material world.

I can only be on here briefly. Im extremely compromised from RFs EMFs Elfs and chemicals. And have been for years. Wifi Bluetooth gps keyfobs etc are all terrible torture to me. One thing i need to mention also that I forgot previously is that since i have removed myself from most all civilization most of the time i can relate feelings to things easier. One that is so stand out is covid vaccinated people. My dad my aunt and a few friends have been vaccinated and i can feel them extremely bad. Not only do they feel like a cellular signal but also a location of gps! And if i have a brief discussion on the phone and need help with something as soon as they say i will be right there, BAM! Location is on! It’s torture the entire wait for them to get here then when here its a brief visit because i cant think or function and feel miserable! Once they are gone or even think about where they are headed Bam! Location off and it’s instant relief

There has NOT been adequate safety testing for immediate or long term use/exposure to EMFs and wireless radiation. Like everything else, these things can affect people differently. I personally think I am sensitive to it and suffer from headaches way more often than I should. I don't know what's causing it but I have to wonder if EMFs buzzing through and around us all day is healthy. We act like it's normal. It's not. Our ancestors never experienced stuff like this. We're all dropping dead form cancer... why? We can't just put all this stuff out without ever properly testing it in humans and expect that it's fine. There is plenty of anecdotal data that says people get brain tumors on the side their cell phone is one and women get breast cancer when they used to put their phone in their bra. Something is definitely happening and it's not HEALTHY. Please do proper research and then do some more. Don't be afraid to roll things back. Tell people to get hard wired systems in their homes. So many people are suffering without knowing the causes, health is very desired, people WILL make changes to feel better.

In 1996 the telecom industry got a law passed to bring toxic wireless radiation to market with no safety testing, and no accountability for harm. The science now shows neurotoxicity, infertility and more! I am crying out: stop this madness now! It's been 30 years in the making but we now have an unprecedented short window with both the Federal Communications Commission AND Health and Human Services to build the public record and document the fallout.

There is an Electrohypersensitivity facebook page with thousands of members. If you want to hear about the suffering of people's health that is being affected by all of the man made emf radiation. Thanks for including the public but I do feel the request for info should have been more broadly advertised.

HHS I fully support the petition by the Children's Health Defense organization to the HHS to further research and investigate the effects on electromagnetic radiation exposure (EMF) on the human body, particularly young children. It has been many decades since serious research has been done on this subject. I strongly urge the HHS to respond to the CHD petition! This is an urgent health issue that needs to be addressed immediately! Peter Phillips Upton, MA

This may be a copy of my first submission. I could not search and find my original comment using keywords or the document ID. So here it is again just in case any funny business is going on. I'll be checking again despite the confirmation email: I presume this book has already been recommended, "The Body Electric" However I would like to add a couple personal ideas: In the past, the stereotype of "Tin Foil Hat" has been associated with conspiracy theory. I have wondered, what would make these particular people sensitive to EMF enough to wear tin foil? My thought is that they could have higher heavy metal content in the body that might act like an antenna. This could be from vaccines or from environmental exposures. If mercury ultimately ends up in the brain stem, it would make the tin foil hat even more applicable in blocking signal to the otherwise minimal heavy metals in the body. Even braces have been joked as being able to pick up radio waves. Another idea, I think for this and many other reasons, in home saunas should be subsidized for every American to build with HSA funds. This would also strongly help combat plastics in the body thanks to the personal studies by Bryan Johnson. Another idea, I think every school should be made into a complete Faraday cage, potentially with lead paint under siding to prevent exposure, so that students and teachers are made to be present in class, as well as cut exposure to EMFs in school. I believe it can be argued that it does not serve our children to have in their pockets the most distracting thing of all time during class. I believe in the event of emergencies, old fashioned wired telephones should work just fine. A small addition to that is standardize the books please, there's no reason college education requires buying new editions on old information. Standardize academics and remove extra curriculars, make those into community classes without pay. The classic books need to be in schools again. Wiring in walls could be made into a grid to power the building as well as cage external EMFs with enough grounding, I say this as an aerospace electrician, however every building would need special engineering, and doing so would cost a ton more copper, but could be measured inside of each room with a sensitive RF meter or even an oscilloscope for measuring the wavelengths exposed to, as in The Body Electric, specific frequencies and pulsing matters as well. I may even just recommend the final chapter of the book. Maybe we can control for Russian standards in home/school/work areas. I think home standards could include the use of piling earth alongside sturdy walls as a form of EMF shielding, similar to living underground. This could provide safe EMF exposure at home without the high demand for conductive metal for a faraday cage or lead paint for a complete blockage of EMF fields. I think studies should be done in the wearing of polyester, which generates static electric charge stored on the body. If my instinct is correct, this is bad for the body, as it makes me feel bad until I am grounded by ESD shock. If this is true, we should move towards natural materials. I think trade for more agriculture could improve, I know Ireland has had to throw away excess wool or use it to nourish farm soil rather than sell it. My final suggestion is if we upgrade the grid to provide nuclear power is that we bury the power lines. Europe does this, and I think especially in tornado alley this is not only safer but the EMF exposure is automatically grounded by being under the earth, plus it should be easier to work on. Thank you for reading. I suspect I negatively impacted my health working in electrical testing, operating DITMCO machines for nearly a decade. I wonder if these electric cars will have high EMF production. I also wonder if we should incorporate jewelry that acts as a capacitor so that we never store an ESD charge in our bodies. The book The Body Electric is required reading on this subject. Please, read it.

je suis une femme dont l'electrosensiblite et a ete diagnostiquée en 2015 par le Pr Belpomme a PARIS. technicienne dans un laboratoiren j'etais exposée au quotidien sur mon lieu de travail au DECT , a la wifi et a beaucoup d'appareils electriques j'avais elegalement mon telephone portable, DECT et wifi a la maison symptomes, fatigue chronique importante, douleur musculaires , troubles digestifs, mauvais sommeil, brouillard cerebral,maus de tete, arythmie cardiaque, echodoppler cerebral montrant plusieurs zones tres mal vascularisée j'ai terminée en invalidité, a la maison, avec eviction, beaucoup de symptomes se sont atténué voir disparus, mais je dois vivre reclue dans une zone peu desservie par la telephonie, j'ai ete obligée d"arreter de travailler a 50ans et de vivre avec une pension d'invalidité impossible d'avoir une vie normale, desociabilisation , impossible de faire des courses de façon reguliere pour manger ou s'habiller , aller chez lke medecin ou voir des specialistes en clinique est compliqué ...chaque exposition se paie a coup de gros symptomes

I couldn’t get over how the utility wouldn’t remove something that was waking me up and known to be a contributor to my new health issues. Was there any compassion? They must have been annoyed with my pleas every other day. Did anyone care? The news outlets wouldn’t listen and just made fun of me. Attorneys that I spoke with had never heard of such a thing. Nobody had written a book on how to deal with this. It was similar to an episode of the Twilight Zone. After finding the “Milgram Experiment” I promptly took on the nickname for my handle in comments section in articles about sleep and health issues. Trying to get the information out about the smart meter. My day consisted of eating, sleeping, and research. I bought cases of paper and printed everything I could find to explain why this was happening to me. I went over to my parents house and asked them about waking up at this odd 3am hour and found that they too were experiencing the same. My mother had been experiencing migraines. Then I asked my sister who lived next door and she was also waking at the same time plus she was experiencing tinnitus. Next, was a brother down the street and then another brother across the street along with a sister far down the street and everyone was waking at the same time. I covered the neighborhood checking to see if anyone else was having the same problem. It took me two weeks to survey 38 homes and out of the 38, just 32 were experiencing waking up at the same time. I tried to be as nonbiased as possible asking “are you noticing recently waking up in the middle of the night?” All 32 said yes and some told me the exact time I was experiencing. Some wondered why their dogs would bark in the 3am hour. The six that hadn’t noticed a difference had always suffered from insomnia. It started off with noticing my hair falling out as it would drop on printed pages while reading the research papers. I found it easier to read hard copies rather than on a computer. That info can be found today at a website now called zoryglaser.com. The papers went everywhere with me and I couldn’t stop reading. They of course were showed to my friends and family to the point of burning everyone out. My brother-in-law is an MD and he told me that I should probably get my head checked out. So I gave him a stack of what I was reading and he didn’t look at any of it. The programming was real. As time went on my symptoms got worse as heart palpitations, tinnitus, eczema, IBS, acid reflux, leg cramps in the middle of the night, memory loss, bleeding gums, loose teeth, root canals, numbness in hands and sometimes face upon waking, blurry vision, depression, vertigo especially when waking up in the middle of the night set in. Weird dreams and nightmares were now common and I was exhausted not being able to sleep for more than just a couple of hours. I kept pleading with the utility and all they did was send me a box of CFL bulbs. Of course they were changed out to replace my safe incandescent bulbs not knowing that they were increasing my exposure drastically. The symptoms are ramping up. My skin is pale and pasty and I have dark circles around my eyes, the migraines are everyday, all day, and the tinnitus is getting worse and I’m seriously contemplating to just end it all. Fortunately I came across a website called justproveit.org. The message was to shut the power off to the whole house while sleeping. I had already tried wrapping the smart meter with aluminum foil and placing foil on the bedroom wall but that didn’t work. So I shut the power off and finally slept through the night for the first time in a few months feeling like I was a kid again with joy in my heart when waking. It was such a great feeling that I did it again. Wow! I thought this is really incredible stuff. Then I experienced a really big let down, one day soon after doing this experiment, I woke up feeling like garbage again. As I went out to the breaker box, to turn the breakers back on, I was surprised to see that I had forgot to shut the breakers off. This happened a couple more times and after those poor experiences the mistake didn’t happen often again. I bought a tent, mattress, and sleeping bag and headed up to the forest to sleep in nature. The feeling was a relief of stress and the tinnitus quieted but unfortunately I would have to return to the city the next day only to go through the misery again. There was a video on YouTube that showed an audible tone while measuring a smart meter. I slowed down the video and found the brand and bought an HF38B. It would be with me everywhere and turned on typically when my body felt stressed. At the time I was convinced it was all about wireless, but come to find out years later the wireless was not as bad as the supraharmonics exposure the smart meter and CFL bulbs were creating.

The biggest known risks from cellphones is distracted driving and the negative impact on physical and mental health from being sedentary and increased social isolation. These risks are not caused by the RF from the device, and funding for research on RF should not distract from the need to address the fundamental needs for good exercise, social connections, and mental health. HHS / NIH should prioritize gaining a holistic understanding of individuals who attribute adverse health effects to RF. This should be done in-depth and by researchers who are independent and agnostic about any single potential cause. This should be done to get an understand of this cohort. If seeking to investigate RF, a pilot study should be done to match individuals with controls with similar backgrounds - but exposed to different levels of RF. There may be individuals who are subject to a significant amount of RF in there workplace that may serve as good controls for high exposure. HHS should be mindful that many individuals concerned with RF are vulnerable and may be targets for fraudsters who are preying on them to offer "RF safety" and promoting their false pay-for-credentials and "expert" designations by prominent but dubious RF safety organizations. The current evidence and large studies strongly suggest that FCC's current RF standards are safe. However, the financial risks from anxiety over RF are real from buying useless fraud products and services, to extremes of quitting jobs and moving. HHS should not empower the fraudsters with statements that are not based on strong, gold standard science. Bad science is "fishing expeditions" where random chance in a subgroup lead to a conclusion -- Type 1 errors are not 0%, studies are typically powered to 5% for the PRIMARY endpoint, false positive conclusions for sub-upon-sub-analysis and poorly designed studies are higher. HHS should identify where there are gaps to investigate, but be clear to concerned individuals that the solutions are free - use a wired connection, turn-off electronics when not in use, use a landline - but there is currently NO evidence that any of these actions are needed. HHS should review information from real-experts at national and international organizations, they are open-minded and science driven: https://www.icnirp.org/en/publications/index.html Gaps in Knowledge Relevant ...for Limiting Exposure to Time-Varying Electric, Magnetic and Electromagnetic Fields WHO research agenda for RF https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789241599948 https://non-ionizing.ncrponline.org/ https://non-ionizing.ncrponline.org/get-the-facts/ https://non-ionizing.ncrponline.org/research-studies/ The weight of evidence does not support a link between cellphone use and brain tumors. “The available scientific evidence does not indicate an increased risk of malignant or benign brain or central nervous system (CNS) tumors from cell phone use [Karipidis 2024, Karipidis 2025].” • Living near cellphone towers is not shown to cause health concerns. “Research does not suggest that RF exposure to individuals living near cell phone towers causes adverse health effects….Public exposure levels from cell towers are typically thousands of times below the FCC exposure limits.” • 5G exposure levels will be the same or lower than older generations. “The higher frequency millimeter waves (mmW) that can be used in 5G networks penetrate less into buildings and your body. Thus, in that respect, exposure levels are expected to be lower.” • Studies have not confirmed EMF hypersensitivity. [Bodewein 2022; Danker-Hopfe 2020b; Huang 2020; Schmiedchen 2019; Bosch-Capblanch 2024]. • Studies have not found convincing evidence of RF impacts on pregnant mothers or their fetuses. “A few studies have looked at the effect of RF exposure on the health of pregnant women and fetuses, assessing outcomes such as miscarriage, preterm birth, or birth defects. Overall, these studies did not find convincing evidence of adverse effects when exposure was below established public safety standards.” • Studies have not found convincing evidence of increased risk of cancers in children at typical exposure levels.“ Several epidemiologic studies have examined childhood leukemia in relation to proximity to cell phone (and other RF) transmitters, and overall, they have not found convincing evidence of increased risk at typical environmental exposure levels….Two case-control studies [Aydin 2012, Castaño-Vinyals 2022] of cell phone use and brain tumors in children have found no clear increase in risk by the amount of use of cell phones.”
