I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a [patient, parent, family member, caregiver, healthcare professional, researcher, advocate, concerned member of the public, or other]. PERSONALIZE YOUR COMMENT HERE: Tell HHS how wireless radiation has affected you, your child, your family, or someone you care about. You may describe the source and duration of the exposure, health effects experienced, when they began, whether reducing exposure made a difference, and how these experiences have affected daily life. If you are an ally, describe why you support people affected by wireless radiation and why you believe HHS should address this issue. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

I am submitting this comment as a consumer concerned about long-term exposure to wireless radiation from phones, Wi-Fi routers, cell towers, and other connected devices. I urge HHS to conduct a thorough, independent review of whether current exposure limits adequately protect public health. This review needs to consider those most heavily exposed and should examine potential effects beyond tissue heating, including evidence concerning cancer, reproductive health, and children’s development. Please prioritize research that reflects how people actually encounter wireless radiation: repeated exposure over many years, often from multiple sources and devices used close to the body. Assessments should consider signal strength, pulse patterns, duration, and combined exposure. Please consider Melnick and Moskowitz’s 2026 analysis of animal data, which argues that existing exposure limits may inadequately protect against cancer and reproductive harm (https://doi.org/10.1186/s12940-026-01288-6). I also ask HHS to evaluate Lai and Levitt’s review of exposure intensity, duration, and signal modulation (https://doi.org/10.1080/15368378.2022.2065683), and Scarato’s review of US regulatory gaps and proposed reforms (https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2025.1677583). These papers warrant careful consideration alongside the broader evidence, including studies that have not found adverse effects. I ask HHS to: •Assess whether additional protections are needed for children, pregnant women, and other potentially vulnerable groups. •Support long-term research with safeguards against industry conflicts of interest. •Provide clear information about exposure and practical ways to reduce it, including wired alternatives in homes and schools. •Recommend updated standards wherever the evidence shows that existing limits are insufficient. Consumers should not have to navigate these questions alone. Please use this inquiry to advance transparent science, meaningful oversight, and public health protection.

I am an eighty five year old retired female living in a retirement community in Northern California, since October 1013. After living here for about six months, I began having strange physical symptoms - heart palpations, dizziness, nausea and tinnitus. I started investigating the cause of these symptoms, and found six electric smart (wireless) meters on the outside bedroom wall close to where I sleep. They are pulsing high levels of radio frequency radiation 24 hours a day. I discontinued sleeping in that bedroom and the symptoms disappeared, except for the tinnitus. When I stayed at my nephews house in the country which has low EMFs, the tinnitus subsided. This scenario is a classic of someone suffering from electro hypersensitivity (EHS). I urge HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation.

For fifteen years I have been bombarded by frequencies twenty four hours a day keeping me awake all night, it feels as if I'm being cooked alive.

These studies look at how EMF influences mold. Promoting or inhibiting mold growth depending on frequency and environment. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36354954/ "Enhancement of Fungal Enzyme Production by Radio-Frequency Electromagnetic Fields" "The RF-EMF perfectly resonated at 2 GHz with directivity radiation pattern and peak gain of 0.5 dB (0.01 Watt). Total protein concentration and activity of α-amylase measured in media were about 1.5-3-fold higher in the RF-EMF exposed (10 min) sample than control (no RF-EMF) during incubation (the highest increase after 16 h). The level of α-amylase mRNA in cells was approximately 2-8-fold increased 16 and 24 h after RF-EMF exposure for 10 min. An increase in vesicle accumulation within fungal hyphae and the transcription of some genes involved in protein cellular trafficking was observed in RF-EMF-exposed samples. Membrane potential was not changed, but the intracellular Ca2+ level was elevated after RF-EMF exposure. Our results suggest that RF-EMF can increase the extracellular level of fungal total proteins and α-amylase activity and the intracellular level of Ca2+." https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/14/24/11508 "The Effect of Exposure to an Electromagnetic Field on Entomopathogenic Fungi" "Exposure to the 900 MHz frequency stimulated the growth of the mycelium and the pathogenicity of the entomopathogenic fungi, whereas the 1800 MHz electromagnetic field inhibited sporulation and spore germination" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0048969723005545 "Effect of extremely low frequency electromagnetic field on the pathogenicity of Magnaporthe oryzae" "The pathogenicity of M. oryzae were enhanced under ELF-EMF exposure. •The level of ROS increased in ELF-EMF-exposed M. oryzae. •Cell wall integrity of M. oryzae were enhanced under ELF-EMF exposure. •The infection cycle was shortened under ELF-EMF exposure.* https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1567539419304104 "Effect of static magnetic field on mold corrosion of printed circuit boards" "In the absence of a magnetic field, mold formed a spore-centered corrosion pit group on the surface of the PCB-Cu, which was macroscopically characterized by regional uniform corrosion. When a 10 mT SMF was applied, the magnetic field exhibited an inhibitory effect on the growth of mold, which was hindered, and the corrosion of the PCB-Cu surface slowed down." "Previous studies have shown that the theory of the influence of EMFs on living organisms is based on the effect of magnetic fields on the permeability of ion channels in biofilms [12]. On this basis, the magnetic field can affect the entry and exit of ions inside and outside the cell, and thus, generate some biological changes, having effects on, for example, enzyme and protein activity [13], carbohydrate metabolism [[14], [15], [16], [17], [18]], and genetics [18]. Among them, the action of a static magnetic field (SMF) is explained by the ion quantum state interference, cytoplasmic membrane, and free radical theories [19]. The effect of moderate-intensity SMFs (1 mT to 1 T) on biological systems is related to the nature of the membrane molecular structure (i.e., diamagnetic anisotropy). The general mechanism by which these SMFs act on biological systems is derived on the basis of their effect on the molecular structure of the excitable membrane, which is sufficient to alter the function of the embedded ion-specific channels [19,20]. Whether the magnetic field promotes or inhibits the growth of microorganisms is affected by many factors, such as the strength, application mode, and direction of the magnetic field and the experimental environment. For example, a pulsed magnetic field can utilize its high frequency characteristics to cause microbes in the magnetic field to generate high frequency thermal effects and high induced currents, thus leading to cell death. At the same time, the change in the frequency and intensity of the magnetic field will cause an oscillating effect on the cell membrane, causing the cell membrane to rupture and the microbial extinction [[21], [22], [23], [24]]. Mengxiang Gao et al. studied the metabolic kinetics of Aspergillus niger by aligning two metabolites (citric acid and cellulase) under extremely low frequency micromagnetic fields [24]. The activity of the two metabolites increased immediately after switching on the magnetic field of B = 1 mT and f = 50 Hz, but the experiment of Gao did not solve the problem of how the magnetic field can promote growth. However, for mold in a liquid medium under a high-intensity magnetic field environment, the higher the magnetic induction intensity is, the lower the mold survival rate. These different phenomenological descriptions complicate the interpretation of the potential mechanisms of magnetic fields on biological systems." +++ These effects might happen in people, plants, animals, buildings.

First I want to say thank you for realizing this is a problem and asking this question and doing something about it. In June 2020 I was totally debilitated by EMF and RF in my home in Rancho Santa Fe California. I had to move out of my home to our Ranch on Palomar Mountain, which is totally off the grid no antennas no Towers no Smart Meters etc within 10 miles. It’s now 2026 and I’m still affected by the EMF’s even though I’ve taken many measures to mediate the EMF‘s and RF in my home in Rancho Santa Fe at great expense to me. I’ve also spent thousands of dollars on Health issues trying to help me get through these EMF /RF maladies, including terrible headaches, ringing in my ears, nausea, irritability, and being completely off-balance to the point where I have to hold onto things to walk around my house or out in public. It’s been a nightmare! When this happens to you, you become aware of how many people are truly affected by this. Also, I feel incredibly sorry for all the children in the schools on the computers, etc., with no protection, and towers and antennas, sometimes even on top of the schools. I think there might be a way to change the frequency of these things to be beneficial or at least a neutral frequency that isn’t harmful . Thank you Jana Lucaccioni

Lives are being impacted in a negative way. It is almost impossible to drive at night due to blinding headlights. LED lights are problematic. I am temporarily unable to see, either blinding me directly in my eyes coming towards me or when the lights appear behind me. Attempting to look away from the lights does not work and causes a dangerous loss of focus on the road. Please research all the impacts to heath, society and safety.

I, personally, can cause my heart to become arrhythmic just by standing in front of a wireless router for a few minutes. I am a tennis player, and know of at least 8 other tennis players, men and women, who have had unexplained cardiac episodes in the last 2 years. . They go to a cardiologist, who cannot find a cause. And these are healthy, active individuals! Thank you for taking on this important issue.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a parent and grandparent. My husband is chemically sensitive to all man-made (unnatural) chemicals, and his condition has gotten much worse ever since FPL installed their wireless meter outside our bedroom wall. We are being bombarded by radiation from the meter, and from both sides of our home from our neighbors' WIFI routers. I fear for our granddaughters who live in a totally wireless world, without even an analog clock in their home; everything is wireless! This nightmare has got to stop! I support HHS taking an active role in examining the health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for the opportunity to be heard on this critical public health issue.
