Reports a spouse’s illness after a school Wi-Fi upgrade, with inability to work, travel and participate s…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Greetings - I am writing to provide first hand knowledge of the effects of EMFs, RF radiation and wireless radiation exposure on the public, and more specically, my wife. My lovely, outgoing wife was a dedicated, hard working school teacher who loved her profession and her ability to interact with children. Approximately 11 years ago, my wife's school district upgraded it's wi-fi system, thereby over saturating the school's teachers, staff and students with EMFs, RFs and wireless radiation. She along with other teachers immediately felt ill from the radiating wireless routers. The results on my wife have been devastating. She now suffers from headaches, burning skin, foggy headness and multiple other symptoms. Tragically, this all could been avoided had the school district heeded the warnings of multiple experts who warned of the consequences of oversaturating the school with wireless routers. In addition to my wife's symptoms, the resulting harm has had a profound effect on our lives together. My wife cannot travel, even for short distances, without experiencing symptoms. We can only spend limited time at restaurants, movies or with friends at their homes. My wife can no longer work which has caused us a substantial financial burden. In all, the results of these exposures have been devastating. The effect of EMFs, RFs and wireless radiation on the public must be studied and regulated in the hopes that these injuies will be prevented from harming innocent people in the future. Water in a reservoir can be helpful to people. Once the reservoir is broken and water comes flooding through the dam, the effects are devastating. Such is the case with EMFs, RFs and wireless radiation. The dam is about to break. There are already numerous studies showing biological harm.

A parent and teacher attributes pregnancy complications, children’s developmental problems and family met…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Perspective I am submitting as an individual, a parent, and a family caregiver. I am also a public school teacher of 14 years. Experience Our home is within sight of commercial radio broadcast towers. Soon after we moved in, I suddenly developed significant metabolic dysfunction and systemic inflammation that no doctor has been able to resolve while we live here. This is not lifestyle. I eat as clean as possible, am extremely active, and changed nothing about my diet or lifestyle when these problems began. Both of my pregnancies were in this home. In my first, I had major complications during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, and my child was born with significant birth defects requiring multiple surgeries. In my second, lab work confirmed metabolic and hormonal problems that affected my child's development and birth, and I again had major complications. These were not random or unexplained. These are all known issues from non-native EMF exposure from the broadcast towers and nearby power lines. After my first child's birth, a cellular antenna was installed about half a mile from our home, mounted on power lines. We received no notice and could find no public registration or record of it. We only knew it existed by seeing it. After it was installed, my postpartum recovery worsened. My metabolic and hormonal problems increased, my migraines got worse, and I developed slow wound healing. Many of these reflect impaired cellular repair, including autophagy, mitophagy, and overnight repair. My metabolic problems and inflammation continue to increase, raising my long-term risk of serious disease, including cancer. My husband has always been extremely healthy and active and still plays sports as an adult. Even so, his bloodwork now shows changes in his cholesterol patterns and markers associated with heart disease risk. Neither of us changed our diet, lifestyle, or anything else that would explain this. We both had the same bloodwork changes in the same month, right after the antenna was installed. My doctor has told me we have done everything we can medically, and since my health is not improving, we need to move. We are being forced to move, at significant financial cost, solely because of these health problems, which my doctor has confirmed are caused by our non-native EMF exposure. We are especially concerned for our infant and toddler, whose brains are developing every day they spend in this home. Placement Cell antennas, broadcast towers, and similar installations should not be placed near homes at all. Notice is not enough. It leaves families like ours with one option: to keep moving at our own expense. Many residents also do not know the risks, so they cannot protect themselves or their children. Every installation, including antennas on power lines or utility poles, should be listed in a searchable public registry. We had no notice, no say, and no record we could find. Surveillance There is nowhere for families to report experiences like ours. HHS should create a reporting system for health effects near wireless infrastructure, power lines, and broadcast towers, and study clusters of pregnancy complications, birth outcomes, and metabolic and cardiovascular changes near these sources. Sensitive populations, children, and schools Exposure assessment should be different for pregnant women, infants, and children. Exposure during pregnancy not only affects the mother's health during and after pregnancy, but can cause irreversible damage to the developing baby. Children absorb more of this radiation than adults, as their brains are not yet fully myelinated, which impacts their neurological development. Proximity to homes, schools, and childcare facilities is the most important factor HHS should consider. As a teacher, I see how much exposure children have during the school day. Schools need clear regulations: no electric vehicle chargers on campus or near playgrounds, and no children seated near Wi-Fi routers. HHS should also evaluate combined exposure from multiple sources rather than each source alone. Request This is not only a question for further study. These installations are being placed near homes and schools without residents' knowledge, affecting our health and our homes. Many families cannot afford to move. Others, like mine, only learn the consequences after serious harm has happened. I ask HHS to establish that these installations cannot be placed near homes, schools, childcare facilities, or playgrounds, to require a public registry of all installations, and to set clear limits on exposure in schools.

Argues that low-frequency and supraharmonic exposures are an overlooked contributor to chronic illness, d…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Every chronic illness correlates with the introduction of exposure to frequencies from 2-100 kHz. This variable has not been accounted for in primary scientific research. Looking at all the graphs of years and rates of increase to this exposure is convincing that there is a correlation that needs investigation. This exposure came before the proliferation of smartphones, earbuds, and WiFi routers. There are three professions that recognize these frequencies. 2-150 kHz is termed as extremely low frequency (ELF) and low frequency (LF) in the radio world, kilo Hertz alternating current (KHFAC) in the medical field, and supraharmonics (SHs) in the electrical engineering realm. There is no argument on whether these frequencies are present and biologically active as they pass through the skin unimpeded. Inject them into the electric field of a home or school and now you have an extremely high power density of RF. And even greater when touching a grounded surface.

Objects to pervasive electronic-frequency exposure from infrastructure and warfare, arguing that existing…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Much research and many studies have been being conducted, completed, and the results disseminated -- for decades! No need to give you more info. I'm here to tell you that those of us who're paying attention to LIFE are still here and OBJECT to the mindless bombardment of electronic frequencies developed for infrastructure and warfare. I don't care about anybody's exclusive empire or bank accounts.

A teacher reports extreme EMF sensitivity during breast-cancer recovery, symptoms in wireless-equipped cl…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have had complications from EMF since 2021 when I contracted COVID and this resulted in Long COVID symptoms that continue to plague me to today. I am a 30 year teacher and since the onset of technology being pushed in every school, I have had symptoms of erratic heartbeat, anxiety, depression, muscle tightness, inability to sleep at night. I see chronically in my students the same symptoms including eye pain and headaches. In 2019 my classroom included my laptop, a smart TV, Chromebooks that are one to one with students and even my very own router placed above my classroom door. In 2026, I found a lump in my left breast and am being treated for breast cancer. However, I have EMf Ultrasensitivity that is complicating my recovery. My breast works as an internal "antenna" for EMF. Smartphones and Laptops and especially my router are the worst offenders! I have a large burn mark all over my left breast. The skin is like cooked and microwaved meat. My cells are weak in my breast and cannot fend off the EMF waves. The skin is burned. I cannot handle being in the overwhelming environment at school with all the wireless technology and routers and fluorescent lights. The lights also trigger my untrasensitivity. My day at school creates an electric shock or zing that feels and it does burn my skin and breast. My breast is hard and my muscles around my breast and to my back become tight and ache unbearably by the end of the day. I cannot attend large gatherings or social functions where there are security camera, checkout lanes, routers, cell phones or computers of any kinds. It is difficult to go to grocery stores or do any other shopping. Walmart is the worst. School is one of the most polluted environments for me in my life currently. I will be retiring in May of 2027 due to the toxic radiation from EMF and how it is literally cooking me and killing me. At home, I have my laptop landline wired and my phone is also landline enabled. We turn our wifi off at night. My smartmeter on my house literally traps me indoors and on bad days, I feel it through the house wall. At school, my laptop is ethernet wired and my smart TV and router are unplugged. However, when the teacher next door has her students on their Chromebooks, it fries me in my classroom as it goes through the walls. I have no safe place in my public school. I worry what this is doing to all the young people's brains and health in a very very toxic school environment. If I could have a clean environment from EMF or at least little to none, I would be farther along on my cancer recovery journey if not already at full health. There is not a doubt in my mind whatsoever, as I am LIVING this, that EMF is very very dangerous to humans. This dangerous EMF is literally killing me. Please turn off and/or regulate 5g,4g,3g, etc and low EMF waves in our country and the world.

A parent requests rigorous research on possible RF/EMF contributions to autism and gene-environment inter…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Re: Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure---Docket No. HHS-OASH-2026-0397 Submitted by: Tim Humlicek Missouri City, TX 77459 Perspective: Parent/family member of child with autism and member of the public Date: October 21, 2026 I appreciate HHS' request for information regarding EMS, radiofrequency radiation, wireless technologies, and human health. I am submitted these comments primarily concerned as a parent with a child of autism (ASD). I am not asking HHS to conclude that RF/EMF exposure causes ASD. I am asking that HHS recognize the substantial public-health importance of the question and support rigorous, independent investigation into whether RF/EMF exposure may contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder, either independently or through interaction with genetic susceptibility and other environmental factors. This distinction is important. The current evidence does not establish a causal relationship between RF/EMF exposure and autism. However, neither does the available evidence justify treating the question as resolved. There are several reasons why this subject warrants a coordinated federal research effort. 1. ASD is a common and increasingly identified neurodevelopmental condition with a highly heterogenous genetic architecture, yet a common group of symptoms. Most syndrome with a genetic cause have relatively few genetic causes, not thousands, as have been associated with ASD. Individuals should question shether these genetic findings could also be bystander effects in addition to contributing to ASD and associated comorbidities. 2. Genetic findings explain only part of the biological complexity of ASD, and gene-environmental interactions are increasingly being recognized. 3. Multiple biological processes implicated in ASD--including oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, altered clacium signaling, immune dysregulation, cellular stress, and altered neuronal signaling--have also been investigated as potential effects of RF/EMF exposure 4. Experimental mammalian studies have reported neurodevelopmental, behavioral, oxidative, molecular, and cellular effects following controlled RF/EMF exposure. Although findings are inconsistent, exposure to RF/EMF in these models, generally produce detrimental effects. Controlling RF/EMF for humans is almost impossible in developed countries outside of radio quiet zones. 5. Children and developing fetuses represent biologically distinct populations for whom exposure assessment and risk evaluation may warrant particular attention. 6. Wireless RF exposure has become ubiquitous, while technologies, frequencies, modulation schemes, device densities, and cumulative exposure patterns continue to evolve. 7. Existing research frequently does not reproduce the complexity of real-world, chronic, developmental exposure The appropriate federal response to these uncertainties should therefore be a coordinated research program designed to determine whether an association exists, under what exposure conditions it might occur, and whether susceptible developmental windows or biological subgroups can be identified. While research can continue to elucidate associations between RF/EMF radiation and neurodevelopmental disorders, the department of HHS could bing awareness of the possible physiological effects of RF/EMF, and simply recommend those caring for vulnerable population take simple measures to measure and reduce overall exposure, such as limiting the use of wireless devices, turning off WiFi routers during periods of limited need, and working with other governmental agencies overseeing application for wireless towers built for public use, and allowing for ample time for public comment and assessment. Sincerely, Tim Humlicek, PharmD Missouri City, TX

Describes a chronic surgical head wound and residual mesh as reasons for concern about 5G exposure, and r…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
An expedited safety review of 5G EMF is of personal importance to me. I have a chronic head wound due to a failed surgical closure. I'm missing a section of bone and have residual "mesh" still in a couple of places in my head (residual from the cranioplasty). The mesh is like having an antenna in my head. Prior to 5G, I wasn't overly concerned, but did a lot of research on EMF from multiple sources. I'm aware that the FCC has not adjusted its guidelines for "safe limits" since the 1990s. The explosion of wireless devices since their last revision of their "safety" data is non-existant. The increasing "speed" of wireless connections has made it impossible for the average person to protect themselves by choice due to the increased number of towers that they need for 5G and the breaching of previous "no go" zones for these towers - hospitals, schools, nursing homes - to keep young children and vulnerable adults safe from exposure to EMFs that can affect their brains, interfere with bodily healing and certainly cause a decline in intellect and memory. I have no articles to send you. I'm just a regular person who has taken the time to look into articles written by others. This is personal to me. Please do the studies that should have been done years ago!
