The entire EMF issue is just the largest and most significant case of humans going big and global for anything that contributes to selling products, gaining wealth or power, or gaining control. As usual throughout history, the society tends to roll out new things to the entire world, only to ‘discover’ that each has huge costs, dangers and damaging ‘side effects’. Our Promethian discover of “Fire” in terms of the power and uses of all thing electromagnetic is probably the latest and largest of these ‘Type 1’ errors. DDT, mRNA tech, leaded gasoline, glyphosate, mercury fillings, and Thalidomide are a few that come to mind. Discovered>Released world-wide>Profited from>Dangers show up>The industries and organizations benifitting fight any regulations>Studies showing the dangers pile up to the point they can’t ignore after untold world-wide damage has been done> and then, once the world has suffered massively is the evidence of harm allowed to be seen and studied. ‘The Invisible Rainbow’ catalogues each new world-wide ‘pandemic’ of illnesses occuring each time the EMF/Electronic tech advances. From Telegraph to AC power, to Radio, TV, Cell phones to Smart (sic) Grids and satellite, NONE of these were ever allowed to be reviewed BEFORE the damages mount to an unacceptable level. Sadly, I expect the same with EMF and although I do not have a particular personal health problem, wouldn’t it be useful to at least study what EMFs are doing to the world before a catastrophe occurs? I can’t help but imagine how the world would be different IF the 9/11 planed had hardened doors as had been broadly recommended as a safety measure, BEFORE 9/11; NOT AFTER!! Get smarter!
For too long EMF emitting technology has proliferated into society without proper understanding of its health effects on human and other living organisms. The big telecoms have lobbied hard to surprise any negative findings, and now we’re all living steeped in RF noise.
Thank you for putting effort into this process. Please continue to find research that helps us all to understand (fairly) the effects of EMF on us and our children.
I have been electrically sensitive to emf/rf frequencies for over 20 years. Everywhere I go there is just more 5g, wi-fi and Bluetooth. We are saturated in wireless and our bodies were not made for this. It affects me in several ways: I have ADHD like symptoms when around wireless, I have tunnel vision when using Bluetooth and I get headaches & nausea as well. I think our standards are out dated and those that are sensitive are often mocked and looked down upon by those not sensitive. The only way I can gain much relief is through not using the technology which makes it difficult to function in today’s society. I worry about young children who are still growing with more soft tissue that the waves can penetrate. It’s far overdue for someone to ask for comment and I hope this time will be well spent and that standards can be raised and that independent research be conducted. Thank for your efforts!
Many people, like myself, know from straightforward experience about the harms and pains from artificial electromagnetic fields that can affect individuals in very different ways. The issue is not "scientific evidence" it is industrially promoted "scientific cover up". I am just commenting as one of millions of US citizens to SAY SO.
Former Tower climber here with 10 years experience. I got cooked on a tower. AT&t refused to turn down. I am now permanently disabled with progressive primary multiple sclerosis seven intracranial lesions three spinal. When the overexposure to near field radio frequency decimated the membrane that encases my brain, it allowed my immune system to ravage my brain and spinal cord.
I am responding as an individual consumer, a parent, and a concerned citizen. I first started to learn about the hazards of EMF's when I started to experience severe and symptomatic arrythmias in my mid-30's. Since then, I have recovered and improved my sleep immensely by turning off our WiFi when not in use, hardwiring devices like TV's, computers and laptops, and having our smartmeters (power and gas) replaced with analog meters. Everyone in our family noticed better sleep, my daughter's nose bleeds stopped, my son who was experiencing distressing symptoms from heart arrythmia improved, our family dog who used to have his crate on the wall near the smart meter began to grow hair. That was all the evidence we needed, but unfortunately, we have been unable to control the installation of wireless towers near our home and/or massive panel additions to existing panels. There has been the installation of 5G (all while adding to 2G, 3G and 4G) with 6G on the way. We also cannot control the "general electrosmog" from other neighbor's smart meters, WiFi, devices, appliances, etc, etc. We need the FCC to revisit the undeniable impact of EMF's on our cellular biology, disease factors, impact on nature and the environment, and more. Such studies stopped decades ago while the industry explodes unchecked and that is telling. We need ongoing health studies, industry transparency and regulation to protect residential areas and schools.
If I am on the phone at times it triggers Tinnitus then I have to disconnect and will slowly go away.
My hand feels a burn sensation at times on my dominant hand and more severity fluctuations and have to go off the phone.
It at times affects my heart rythm and then I immediately disconnect.
I used to spend more time on my phone until my thumb started twitching and so I thought to go on a social media fast and get off my phone for two weeks and my thumb came right.
My body feels irritated by WiFi and Blue tooth.. can't tolerate it for too long and then I feel miserable and irritated. When I get home, I walk barefoot on the earth for about 5-10min and it helps
My stomach will feel a burn sensation and I have to move away from the phone.
I believe it does not stay within safety parameters.
Also, I am very sensitive and I think I have less of a protective layer around my nerve cells(Myelin sheath...BTW my systemic Lupus is in Remission).
