2. In your response, please describe which perspective(s) your comments represent:
I am an individual consumer & patient
3. a. The type(s) of wireless technology or RF/EMF : I use mobile smartphone & wearable devices (Smart watch & Ear buds)
b. The nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing of the reported
exposure(s): 2021-2025
c. The potential adverse health effects experienced. A.) Smartphone problems: 1.) when held to my ear it increases my tinnitus so I cannot hear the person speaking on the phone. 2.) When looking at the screen the display must be set at Natural with Eye Comfort set at very warm tones and I still get headaches and blurry eyes from looking at the screen. I must constantly look away from the screen. B.) Smart Watch problems: When wearing it, I feel pain in the entire area of where the watch is on me. I tried changing the arm I wore it on and I had the same pain. C.) Ear buds: When in my ears it makes my ears hurt. If I must wear them, I wear only one at a time because I feel the pain and get a migraine eventually. It also increases my tinnitus issues.
d. When potential adverse health effects first appeared relative to when exposure
began and whether any changes in exposure coincided with potential adverse
health effects. A.) Smartphone: Happens every time I look at my phone for more than 30 seconds. B.) Smart Watch: Within 5 minutes of wear pain begins. C.) Ear buds: Within about 1 minute of wearing the pain starts with one or both, and then the becomes unbearable in about 15-30 minutes of use in the ear it is located in. I found if using only 1 at a time I can switch ears and use for no more than 1 hour or I do get a migraine.
e. I have mentioned to Dr's however, their answer is the same, then do not wear or use them anymore. A.) Smartphone: Migraines, ear aches, tinnitus, & blurry eyes. B.) Smart Watch: bone pain in hand and wrist where it is worn on. C.) Ear buds: Migraines, tinnitus & ear aches.
f. Whether steps to reduce or eliminate exposure were taken and, if so, whether any
subsequent changes in potential adverse health effects were observed. A.) Smartphone: I try to use speakerphone most of the time. I cannot sleep with it anywhere near me while I sleep. B.) Smart Watch: I would switch wrists and attempted timing how long it was worn and how long i could handle the pain and did not last more than an hour before taking it off. C.) Earbuds: I use only one at a time when necessary to reduce the amount of pain because it is significantly worse if ear buds are in both ears at the same time. I also know if I use too long I will have a migraine.
If I had known of the risk of pain, tinnitus, ear aches, eye pain, etc I would not have wasted $800 on the smart watch. It was very upsetting to discover how negatively it would impact me and waste my money and not be able to return it.
I want a smartphone with less EMF and protections against the radiation so I can use without harming my eyes, brain, and ears.
If I do not use the screen or smartphone at all my sight stops being so blurry and returns to normal. Where is our freedom of choice...the only Smartphones out there all have too much EMF making us sick. We need to have a choice for a simpler phone with next to NO radiation.

I noticed comments are open about electromagnetic frequencies. I am one who is sensitive to EMF's and try to limit my time around them, although is impossible to do so as they are everywhere. am sending this link...https://ehsciences.org/data-centers-increase-electromagnetic-fields-emf-exposure/.... this is a great article by Environmental Health Sciences about EMF's and radiation... we the people should not be subjected to EMF's... we should have an option to not be close to hyperscale data centers or other types of radiation... thank you for reading my comment...

Public Comment to the Federal Communications Commission - I am Kim Konte, founder of Non-Toxic Neighborhoods, a national nonprofit working to protect children from environmental harm where they live, learn, and play.
Children are not little adults. Their nervous systems are developing, and they face years of exposure to wireless technology: 4G and 5G networks in their communities, devices in their hands, and Wi‑Fi routers mounted overhead in many classrooms. The country is already planning for 6G, while the FCC continues to rely on radiofrequency exposure limits adopted in 1996.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans. That classification does not prove that classroom Wi‑Fi causes cancer. It does mean the FCC should take unanswered questions seriously, reduce unnecessary exposure to children, and require independent research focused on their health. Children’s clinicians and independent scientists must have a meaningful voice in setting safety policy.
An experimental study reported impaired insulin secretion and increased oxidative stress in the pancreatic cells of rats exposed to Wi‑Fi frequency radiation. It does not establish that Wi‑Fi causes type 2 diabetes in children. It raises a question the FCC should investigate: could long-term exposure affect children’s metabolic health?
At a 2019 Senate hearing, Senator Richard Blumenthal asked wireless industry representatives to identify independent research on the biological effects of 5G. They said they were unaware of such studies. He concluded: “We’re kind of flying blind here, as far as health and safety is concerned.”
The National Toxicology Program’s 2018 animal studies found “some evidence” of cancer in male rats exposed to 2G and 3G cell-phone signals. Those studies did not test 5G or the combination of wireless exposures children experience today. A federal appeals court later found that the FCC had failed to adequately explain its decision to retain its exposure limits, including its response to evidence about children and long-term exposure.
The FCC must answer the court, require independent research focused on children, and stop treating wireless access as the only way to connect a classroom. Schools should use hardwired internet as the default and limit wireless exposure wherever practical. Children’s health must come before the next wireless rollout.

The EMFs, RF, and Radiation wireless are being targeted to my body in my home. Also my electric BMW also have been targeted against my body. These sharp Electric Magnetic hit me every day in my house. At night I’m targeted in my head. I had began sleeping underneath my husband hospital bed. I slept/sleep with a football helmet on my head. They also sexually target me towards my genitalia. Drones flew over my house targeting me. I used flighttrader24 to identify the when I m getting hit.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Personal statement & Case testimony:
Smart meters present a direct hazard to human health. My health was drastically impacted after our utility installed digital smart meters across our block. The day after activation, I experienced severe acute symptoms:
* Neurological & Peripheral Distress: I instantly developed cognitive side effects and an aggressive attack on my peripheral nervous system. Within 48 hours, emissions coming from the walls caused such severe disruption that I came close to leg paralysis.
* Severe Insomnia: I can no longer sleep in my bedroom. The continuous fields create a sensation like my brain is being 'zapped' and kept awake, resulting in debilitating insomnia.
* Whole-House Wiring Radiation: Research and professionals confirmed that the Switch-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) inside these meters injects high-frequency 'dirty electricity' directly onto building power lines. The electrical wiring throughout our house—and electronics plugged into it—now re-radiate harmful fields into living spaces.
* Inadequacy of Mitigation: Mitigating this required major changes to living arrangements and expensive filters, which lessen the pollution but cannot eliminate it entirely.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Federal guidelines rely on thermal heating limits (ICNIRP) and wireless RF, failing to regulate conducted voltage noise ("dirty electricity") from internal SMPS in digital meters.
Testing shows digital/smart meters generate up to 35 times higher conducted noise on household wiring than legacy analogue meters, turning building wiring into an antenna that induces non-thermal biological stress, neurological disruption, and sleep degradation.
Federal agencies must close regulatory loopholes, recognize non-thermal biological thresholds, and enact a complete federal ban on all digital and smart electricity meters, mandating a return to passive electro-mechanical analogue metering.
TECHNICAL EVIDENCE: CONDUCTED EMISSIONS
35-Fold Noise Increase: Testing of 23 meter models by EMF Consult AS showed modern smart meters (AMS) produce noise levels of 49 dBµV vs ~18 dBµV in older analogue meters—a 31 dBµV (~35-fold) increase in conducted noise on household wiring.
Root Cause (SMPS): Analogue meters contain no power electronics, producing zero conducted pollution. Digital/smart meters use active SMPS that chop AC voltage, bleeding high-energy transients onto power lines.
Constructive Interference: Multiple digital/smart meters on the same transformer create constructive interference, compounding noise across neighborhoods.
BIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS & SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
VGCCs & Oxidative Stress: Transients alter cellular function below thermal thresholds by opening voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), causing overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress.
Piezoelectric Inner Ear Stimulation: The inner ear's tectorial membrane and otoconia convert ultrasonic oscillations into mechanical micro-vibrations, triggering tinnitus, head pressure, and brain hyperexcitability.
Stress Biomarkers (Milham & Stetzer 2013): Filtering dirty electricity resulted in significant normalization of urinary dopamine and phenylethylamine levels.
Metabolic Disruption (Havas 2006, 2008; Milham 2014): Studies show dirty electricity elevates blood glucose in sensitive individuals ("Type 3 diabetes") and correlates historically with diabetes/obesity epidemics.
School Field Trials (Havas & Olstad 2008): Filtering power-line noise by >90% produced significant health improvements in 64% of teachers and improved student focus/behavior.
Remission via Analogue Reversion: Court rulings (Oslo Appeal Court, French Linky decision) confirm replacing digital/smart meters with electro-mechanical analogue meters results in rapid symptom remission.
CRITICAL REGULATORY GAPS
Unregulated 10–150 kHz "Grey Zone": CISPR 32 / EN 55032 standards only measure conducted emissions from 150 kHz to 30 MHz, leaving 10–150 kHz—where SMPS transients concentrate—completely unregulated.
Thermal-Only Paradigm: Guidelines fail to account for non-thermal biological signaling or conducted power-line noise. The only biologically safe standard is passive analogue metering.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FEDERAL ACTION
Complete Ban on All Smart Digital Meters: Enact a federal ban on all digital/smart electricity meters (including filtered models), mandating a return to electro-mechanical analogue meters.
Free Analogue Reinstallation: Require utilities to reinstall traditional analogue meters free of charge upon request.
Close 10–150 kHz Loophole: Expand EMC standards to mandate strict limits down to 10 kHz.
Adopt Non-Thermal Thresholds: Update exposure standards to protect against VGCC activation, ROS-induced stress, and electro-hypersensitivity.
