Objects to involuntary exposure from neighboring Wi-Fi and nearby towers, describes perceived illness and…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
EMFs (5G, Wifi, etc.) are making us feel physically sick. Even if an individual tries to limit their exposure, surrounding homes/apartments are using Wifi, and internet providers are constantly increasing the range of Wifi signals. My home is exposed to 14 different Wifi signals at any given time, even though I'm not using it. 5G cell towers are everywhere and dangerously close to homes, schools, and hospitals. The young and medically vulnerable are being blasted by a continuous stream of harmful EMF in huge doses. Other countries don't allow such high levels of EMF output, but Americans suffer being constantly exposed to this harm. This is wrong and needs to stop. There are safer ways to provide communication, even wireless communication. This is making people sick.

Requests urgent independent research and precautionary exposure reduction for children, emphasizing uncer…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Our children are increasingly surrounded by electromagnetic fields (EMFs), radiofrequency (RF) radiation, and wireless radiation from cell phones, Wi-Fi networks, tablets, and other connected devices, often with no consideration for the potential long-term consequences of continuous exposure. The full health implications of chronic exposure—particularly for developing children—remains largely unknown and requires ongoing in-depth scientific investigation. The stakes are obviously too high to assume that everyday exposure is entirely without risk, and with the widespread and rapidly increasing presence of these exposures, legitimate and critical questions are raised that deserve urgent research and public attention. Children’s developing brains and bodies clearly warrant special consideration, and as such we cannot afford to dismiss unanswered questions. We have a responsibility to investigate potential dangers, demand transparent scientific research, and take warranted precautionary measures to reduce unnecessary exposure and protect the health and future well-being of our most important population: our children.

Opposes towers near homes and places children gather, cites personal detector observations and developmen…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I strongly oppose the placement of wireless communication towers or other wireless devices near residential communities, schools, churches, daycares, parks, and other places where children and families spend their time. Based on my own observations using an EMF detector, I have concerns about the levels of electromagnetic radiation emitted by these towers. I believe these emissions may pose potential health risks, especially to children whose bodies and brains are still developing. While I am not including scientific studies in this letter, there are many researchers and organizations that have raised concerns about the long-term effects of electromagnetic radiation exposure on human health. I do not believe that faster wireless internet speeds or any other reasons justify placing these towers close to areas where people live, learn, worship, and gather. Our society is already becoming increasingly dependent on internet-connected devices, and I am concerned that the continued expansion of wireless infrastructure encourages even greater screen use and digital dependency. Children especially need safe environments that support learning, social interaction, physical activity, and healthy development. For these reasons, I believe communication towers should be located well away from schools, churches, daycares, neighborhoods, and other places frequented by families and children. I respectfully ask that decision-makers prioritize public health and community well-being when considering the placement of these towers.

Reports sensitivity near power infrastructure, computers and wireless equipment in healthcare workplaces,…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been moderately sensitive to EMFs and RF for many years. I first became conscious of this on moving out of my parents' house which was situated near a 275KV electric pylon. I moved six miles away but on returning at the weekends etc., I noticed an unhealthy influence in their house. Later, in the 2000s, I noticed feeling ill when using computers. Later, while working as a healthcare assistant in hospitals and nursing homes, I started to notice feeling unwell when near to WiFi modem/routers and DECT telephones. I am involved in public understanding of science work, including presenting talks and workshops about radio technology and associated health effects. The problem of sensitivity to these influences is much greater than most people recognise. However, when one starts to directly ask people if they are affected, many do recount their own stories of health problems. In my educational work in the U.K. and Ireland, I notice a distinct unwillingness for educational and health authorities to attempt to educate the public about reducing exposure to radio frequency radiation. The attitude appears to be that any such education would indicate an admission from those authorities that there are real health problems involved. The situation as it stands is that the levels of radiation keep on rising, with none of the authorities taking any responsibility to moderate behaviours. With kind regards Malin Starrett

A young commenter requests a halt to the PowerOn Midwest transmission project until HHS completes its inq…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Dear Secretary Kennedy and the OASH Policy Team, My name is Addison Hansen, I am 16 years old, and I live in Frost, Minnesota. Please accept the attached letter as my official youth submission regarding the Department of Health and Human Services’ Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (Docket ID: HHS-OASH-2026-0397). I am writing to you because my generation's future health is directly on the line. While your office is doing the right thing by opening this inquiry to investigate the dangers of EMF radiation, regional utilities are trying to build the massive PowerOn Midwest 765 kV transmission line project right through our communities. It makes no sense to rush and build the biggest high-voltage powerline project in our region's history at the exact same time the federal government is admitting we need to pause and study whether these EMF levels are actually safe for us. My peers and I will have to live next to this infrastructure for decades to come. In my attached letter, I am calling on you, Secretary Kennedy, to stand up for young people and ask grid operators to halt the PowerOn Midwest project until your department finishes this RFI and updates federal safety standards. Thank you for listening to youth voices on this critical health issue. I have also mailed the letter to your office by express mail, but it will not be able to reach your office in time for the deadline. Sincerely, Addison Hansen 45468 60th St, Frost, MN 56033 507-525-8024

Attributes chronic illness to 5G towers and household routers and alleges a role for towers in weather ma…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The 5G towers that sprung up while we were all locked down in 2020 are the main problem. Only only are the ugly as sin, the numbers that correlate the proximity to a tower and major chronic conditions looms large. These studies are very accessible and from all around the word. These towers also play a roll in weather manipulation, which is another major problem. Now you can 5G into your home! These micro waves from towers and routers are destroying us from the inside out. The science is clear.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I suffer from severe electro-hyper sensitivity and it has been debilitating. There is plenty of studies indicating that wireless radiation is detrimental to human health. Governments just have to be willing to look for it. North American safety standards for wireless radiation are way less stringent than Europe and around the world.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/397309717_Increasing_Numbers_of_Children_Aged_5-19_Years_with_Memory_Problems_in_Sweden_and_Norway "Increasing Numbers of Children Aged 5-19 Years with Memory Problems in Sweden and Norway" "Discussion The data presented here show very disturbing trend of a rapidly increasing number of children and teenagers consulting medical care for memory problems or diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, in particular over the last ve to 14 years in Norway and Sweden. The increase cannot be explained by changed diagnostic criteria or reporting frequency.What changes in children’s environment and life style might have contributed to this worrying trend of impaired memory and cognitive functions? There are multiple reports, both from animal experimental studies and epidemiological studies on humans, showing that microwave RF radiation exposure negatively impacts memory and cognitive functions. The hippocampus in the brain is important for short and long term memory, learning, and spatial navigation [41,42]. Several animal studies have also reported damage to the hippocampus from exposure to microwave RF radiation. Children’s exposure to microwave RF radiation from wireless technologies such as smart phones, base stations/antennas, Wi-Fi-routers, smart meters, and other wireless technologies that emit microwave RF radiation has also increased rapidly during the same time period as the increasing number of children with decline in memory and cognitive functions"
