Before installation of 4G cell towers in the Netherlands I was not sensitive to wireless electromagnetic radiation, apart from continuous hearing of a high frequency sound. This changed when a cell tower was installed at 300 m distance of our house. We defended our house with black paint,curtains with iron thread, aluminum foil and fine-mesh iron fencing, disconnecting wifi, and using only cable connections. These measures helped for being safely at home for a while. In 2024 when 5G was installed I unfortunately became extremely sensitive for this radiation by cell towers, wifi, blue-tooth and mobile phones. I had to leave our church with a cell tower at a distance of 50 m. With my broadband RF meter "Safe and Sound Pro II" I discovered that too much radiation now entered our house despite our protection measures. The density of cell towers in Holland is so high that there are few places with low radiation and we could not find another affordable house at a safe place. We had no other option than to move to another country. In Hungary we found a small village where the radiation is almost zero in one of the streets where we bought a house to live in since last November. But health problems are not over yet. When going to other places here for shopping etc. I must have my cap and belt around my neck with silver thread on in order to protect myself, but even then I suffer often from nasty symptoms. The radiation is also tricky in that I usually don't experience its effects immediately and that the first symptoms are mild. When I have been in an environment with high radiation for a longer time, more heavy symptoms may continue afterwards for the rest of the day and sometimes even the next day, like continuous head pressure, headache, dizziness, fatigue, sleepiness, oppression on my throat, etc. A complete list of symptoms that I experienced since 4G was installed, I have added as a supporting document. The 27 symptoms are more than half of the about 40 known symptoms due to wireless radiation. Most people are already so addicted to their mobile phone, that it is nearly impossible to avoid the radiation when meeting others. Of course I do not and can not use a mobile phone, but my wife has one for necessary things. When she is using her phone, I had to go to another room in order not to become sick (she now works with a cable connection with her mobile phone). It is awful and completely unnecessary that mobile phones are obligatory for more and more activities, especially public authorities. I find it really criminal that the level of wireless radiation has been raised so high in the Western world. It is completely unnecessary, for wireless telecom is working also very well at much lower levels and with less frequencies. In Russia and China they use now levels that are about 100 times less than in de West. It is well-known that high levels of wireless radiation may kill people and can be used as a bio-weapon. Not only humans, also all living creatures suffer from this radiation. There is enormous scientific evidence that many insect species (like bees), but also many other animals become extinct in areas with a lot of radiation, especially in the neighborhood of cell towers and radar. Also plants are suffering and dying, for instance by smart electricity meters. The warming up of the atmosphere partly will be due to all the energy that is pumped in the air by wireless radiation. Wireless electromagnetic radiation is in fact completely unnecessary and should be stopped completely in order to restore the life conditions on our planet. The existing national and international exposure standards and guidelines, for instance from ICNIRP and FCC are outdated. ICNIRP is an organization with members of the telecom industry or connected with it. It is not an independent organization and its members are not democratically chosen. They neglect and deny all effects that are not thermal. The height of radiation that they think is safe, is much too high and is not based on sound scientific research. The publications on which they base their conclusions are corrupt and are funded by telecom and government organizations which are prejudiced and biased. P.S. Insects, other animals and plants abound in the area where we live now.

We are exposed to unacceptable levels of EMF short-wave pollution. People have experienced headaches, dizziness, inability to function, fatigue, heart issues, insomia,tumors, cancer and more. These cell towers with 5G and other toxic EMF exposures are sick. Even it you do not experience the above knowingly, you are still exposed and building health issues. Wildlife, which includes plants are also negatively affected. In other words, life itself is attacked by these EMF non-ionizing radiation. The concept that only heat generates injury was incorrect. There are safe ways to improve communication, such as fiber optics. In 1996 Pres. Clinton exempted the communication industry from health, safety and environmental issues connected to this industry. That non-regulation needs to be stopped. This industry is out-of-control. Cell towers are built near schools, which is an absolute travesty. We are entitled to a safe environment without rogue industries such as the above operating unregulated, immune to lawsuits for the health and environmental destruction they cause. I appreciate your concern for the public. Another issue involves geo-engineering. The public is now noticing the obvious spraying of chemicals and maybe more in the atmosphere. Whatever is sprayed is pulled down to the earth via gravity. A life on the planet is adversely harmed, and we are seeing the results. We are told the spraying is for ameliorating "climate change", which makes no sense. This spraying needs to be stopped. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I appreciate the Department of Health and Human Services' decision to examine the scientific evidence regarding electromagnetic fields (EMFs), radiofrequency (RF) radiation, and wireless radiation exposure. I strongly encourage HHS to approach this issue with scientific rigor, transparency, and a commitment to protecting public health, particularly the health of children. Wireless technologies have become an integral part of everyday life. Children are exposed to wireless devices, Wi-Fi networks, cellular infrastructure, Bluetooth devices, and other sources of electromagnetic fields from an early age. As exposure becomes increasingly widespread, it is important that our understanding of potential long-term health effects keeps pace with technological development. I respectfully ask HHS to prioritize the following areas: 1. Independent, long-term research Support well-designed, independent research into the potential short-term and long-term health effects of RF radiation and other relevant EMF exposures. Research should include long-term exposure, cumulative exposure from multiple sources, and potential effects that may not become apparent for many years. Funding and potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed transparently. 2. Protection of children and other potentially vulnerable populations Children should be a priority in research and public health policy. Their bodies are still developing, and their lifetime exposure may be substantially longer than that of today's adults. Research should specifically examine age-related differences in exposure and susceptibility rather than assuming that findings from adult populations fully apply to children. 3. Reassessment of exposure standards HHS should evaluate whether existing exposure limits adequately reflect current scientific evidence, including research on long-term exposure and potential biological effects beyond established heating effects. Standards should be reviewed periodically as new evidence becomes available, with clear explanations of the scientific assumptions and uncertainties underlying them. 4. Real-world and cumulative exposure Research should reflect how people actually live, work, travel, and learn. People are exposed to multiple sources of EMFs and RF radiation throughout the day, including smartphones, Wi-Fi routers, cellular networks, wearable devices, wireless accessories, and vehicle electrical systems. Evaluations should consider the combined exposure patterns people experience in homes, schools, workplaces, public spaces, and vehicles, rather than assessing each source only in isolation. 5. Transparency and accessible public information Families deserve clear, accessible, evidence-based information about wireless radiation exposure. HHS should provide practical guidance on exposure sources, the strength and limitations of the available evidence, areas of scientific uncertainty, and reasonable steps people can take to reduce unnecessary exposure if they choose to do so. Public guidance should neither dismiss legitimate questions nor create unnecessary fear. 6. A precautionary approach and exposure reduction Where meaningful scientific uncertainty remains, HHS should consider the precautionary principle and the concept of keeping exposure as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA), where appropriate and supported by the evidence. Practical measures that reduce unnecessary exposure without compromising essential communication or access to technology should be evaluated. Such measures may be particularly relevant in schools, childcare facilities, and other environments where children spend extended periods. The absence of conclusive evidence of harm should not be interpreted as proof that every possible long-term effect has been ruled out. Equally, potential risks should be investigated carefully rather than assumed. Public policy should distinguish established findings from preliminary results and unanswered questions. I urge HHS to conduct a comprehensive, independent, and transparent review of the available evidence, identify important research gaps, and develop clear, evidence-based recommendations that put public health first. Technological progress and public health protection should go hand in hand. Families should not have to choose between participating in modern life and having access to reliable information about potential environmental exposures. HHS has an important opportunity to advance scientific understanding, improve public confidence, and help ensure that decisions about wireless technology are informed by the best available evidence and an appropriate commitment to protecting future generations. Thank you for considering this comment.

The public deserves full transparency about the potential health effects of wireless radiation and 5G technology. People cannot make informed decisions when the risks, uncertainties, and long-term effects are not clearly communicated. We need independent research, stronger public health protections, and honest, accessible disclosure of the science. Public health and informed consent must come before convenience and corporate interests. Families deserve answers, transparency, and the right to understand the potential risks of the technology surrounding them.

I don’t know why we are suddenly claiming electromagnetic fields, radiofrequency, and wireless radiation are scary or harmful. They have been used for a long time. People are overreacting because the words and names sound scary. Decisions related to this topic should be made by physicists, biologists, and chemists. Not laypersons.

Elderly, fixed income. Smart meter installed, without our consent or permission - we heard banging on the side of the house. Three weeks later, full body rash, extreme itching, which has persisted for seven months now. Requested removal, and replacement with non-smart meter, they (Great Lakes Energy) are demanding $50 per month, $600 a year, which we can not afford. No one will help us.

To Whom It May Concern: I appreciate the opportunity to provide information regarding electromagnetic fields, radiofrequency radiation, and wireless technologies. I am not an expert in epidemiology, toxicology, biophysics, dosimetry, oncology, neurology, or radiation science. However, I understand that personal observations are being solicited, and I am therefore pleased to contribute data of approximately the same scientific rigor as any other uncontrolled anecdotal report. Over the past several years, I have experienced repeated exposure to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular networks, and other forms of radiofrequency radiation. During that same period, I have observed a number of concerning health-related outcomes. For example, after spending prolonged periods in Wi-Fi-enabled environments, I frequently experience fatigue, reduced concentration, irritability, and a strong desire to stop working. The association is especially pronounced Monday through Friday. Symptoms tend to improve substantially on weekends and during vacations. This reproducible dechallenge phenomenon may indicate a biologically meaningful relationship between wireless exposure and employment. I have also observed a strong temporal association between 5G exposure and hunger. Following several hours of exposure, I reliably develop an urge to eat. Administration of food results in rapid symptom improvement. The consistency of this response, together with its recurrence on re-exposure, raises concerns regarding a possible radiofrequency-associated metabolic syndrome. Additional observations include: - Exposure to Bluetooth is frequently followed by depletion of headphone batteries. - Prolonged screen use in Wi-Fi environments is associated with eye strain. - Cell-phone exposure is strongly associated with receiving unwanted phone calls. - Individuals exposed to wireless networks continue to age over time. - Every person I know who has died was, at some point in life, exposed to electromagnetic fields. The last finding is particularly troubling because the observed association with mortality is 100%. I recognize that several methodological limitations should be acknowledged. Exposure was not quantified. Symptoms were not prospectively defined. There was no control group. There was no blinding. There was no randomization. Potential confounders such as age, sleep, caffeine, stress, occupation, screen time, underlying illness, and the ordinary passage of time were not evaluated. Selection bias was substantial because I selected myself for participation. Recall bias was unavoidable because I am recalling the events. Reporting bias is possible because I am reporting only the observations I find interesting. The hypothesis was formulated after the outcomes occurred. No statistical analysis was performed. Nevertheless, because the events occurred after exposure, a causal relationship cannot be ruled out. I therefore recommend that federal agencies consider a streamlined evidentiary framework for future public-health policy. Under this approach, causation could be established when the following conditions are met: 1. An individual believes an exposure caused a symptom. 2. The symptom occurred at some point after the exposure. 3. The individual reports improvement after doing something else. 4. The story sounds compelling. 5. Enough similar stories can be collected. This framework would offer several advantages over conventional epidemiology. It would eliminate the need for control groups, exposure measurement, preregistered hypotheses, statistical power, replication, dose-response analysis, and tedious arguments about confounding. It would also dramatically accelerate policy development. The same methodology could be extended beyond radiofrequency radiation. For example, I have personally observed that rain is strongly associated with umbrellas, fire trucks are frequently present at large fires, and nearly every person with arthritis has previously consumed water. These associations merit immediate federal review. Respectfully submitted, Jack Mahogov, A Member of the Continuously Exposed General Population

Hi am experiencing a lot of symptoms burning sensation, numbness, ringing in ears, nauseated, and headaches. I also know who is behind them Josh lass and Shelby ward. I need your guys help to throw these two behind bars. Nonstop voices, threatening me , and harassment.

I am a physician and have many patients who report EMF sensitivity. Their symptoms include, increased fatigue, cognitive difficulties, neurological symptoms. fasciculations, headaches, insomnia, tachycardia, and more when exposed to RF waves. I have examined the literature and there is a plethora of published research demonstrating mechanisms that explain that EMF sensitivity is a true phenomenon. With the potential for DNA breaks when exposed to RF levels that are lower than modern cell phones, it would be worth evaluating whether the increased exposure to RF that our modern society has compared to just 2004 may be a contributor to increased cancer rates we are seeing in all ages.

Severe migraines. Emf reader constantly hitting red unsafe levels in my area. Anywhere from in my home to a near by tower. I feel my health is suffering because of this. I have multiple health concerns now, when I never have before. I have experienced various things like anxiety and more humming and buzzing sounds then I have ever experienced before. You can feel radiation more and more around now. My dog experienced seizures and they got worse and worse until we had to have him put down.
