ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello thank you for work there on this and other subjects. Cell and radar and satellites affect health and earth ground weights. The electro media can add to matter weight thru saturation. Cell towers have been over placed in numbers per counties for reduction criteria to be legislated.. I have written to officials that some are right next to residential and buildings. This can along with antennae on the roofs stimulate the grid and structures and wiring and lighting to shed cell media even spraying thru bulbs.. making items last a shorter time. I can feel my brain stiffen near cell towers. During the campaigns too much cellular media is drying my lungs. I’ve campaigned against Junk mail please stop Junk Mail.. on air quality..someday 50 junk mail everyone’s upset online.. I stopped a few meltdowns in Westlake Hills Tx with a Radio President near the Dell’s residence. ..and Dripping Springs Tx near a famous engineering Co I got them to move. There are 3 on 290 right behind handsome homes. I found out the police did not have an emergency list of who to to call about them. I’ve seen elite homes with cell towers next door literally in Heritage Oaks and Vintage Oaks. I called ATT and they and/or Westin Dean a custom home builder..got all cell towers turned way down in settings. There were some I couldn’t even drive by. In Beverley Hills near a hotel there were 15 cell towers near a hotel as well. Some install them for extra money even near poor cows… I write animal activists no improve this. Many could be mandated to be smaller in impact modules. Sometimes it’s their lighting that can ground load and age too bad sockets and timers. I’ve written a public Land trust to start buying land with the public. This to stop those needing money moronically plastering the country with cell towers. Psychologically another blow for humans along with ABombs.. Causing stress and more.. Too much techno media may effect the sun and moon radio waves. Especially during sun storms. Our atmosphere may reflect back to the sun heating it up a tad more with techno media density.... But a sun storm can effect the grid the size of.New York a TV show proclaimed. There are too many playful radio hours allowed and stations at 15,000… I’ve written to have them go to half days at least.. non essential radio. Whisper radar is needed including for weather. It’s heavier than cell media.. We are millivolt systems. And we are getting saturated with techno media. Techno rings can hold weather systems below the planet equator and add to flooding that has caused some evacuations so wrote NOAA. Only a percent of wireless bill pay should be allowed. Techno media can cause heart rates and supposedly cancer to increase. Possibly brain changes as well even at work inside wireless buildings. I can feel some gravity weight increase around some buildings that are all wireless too. The pad sites have a tad more zing and gravity. Stewardship is ascue and needs moderation. Please help the Earth and human standards of conduct to be guided more elitely.. Thank you again for this project your doing. All my best hopes.. to everyone… I want my adult sons and grandkids to believe in this world more. How about youalls families? Resa Bartlett and family.

The commenter reports alleged nonconsensual electromagnetic targeting in Puerto Rico and requests indepen…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am writing to formally request your attention, oversight, and investigation into grave concerns regarding health, human rights, physical safety, and bodily autonomy in Puerto Rico. A growing number of individuals on the island identify as "Targeted Individuals" (TIs). They report experiencing severe, chronic physiological and psychological distress that they attribute to non-consensual exposure to high-power electromagnetic radiation (EMR), radiofrequency (RF) fields, or directed energy technologies.  Historically, Puerto Rico has been the site of extensive military testing, radar installations, and scientific experiments. This legacy has left a deep-seated vulnerability and distrust among local communities regarding environmental and technological safety. Individuals reporting these experiences frequently describe symptoms such as intense neurological disruption, chronic sleep deprivation, severe headaches, internal vibrations, burns, and cognitive impairments, among other concerns. These symptoms severely degrade their health/quality of life, economic stability, and overall well-being.  I'm part of this growing number of individuals and a victim of this ilegal experimentation. The United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment—to which the United States is a signatory—strictly prohibits any form of non-consensual experimentation or physical and psychological abuse. When citizens report targeted harassment or physical distress linked to electromagnetic energy, it is imperative that public health and human rights officials take these concerns seriously rather than dismissing them. To address these compounding concerns and ensure the protection of all residents, I respectfully urge your office to take the following actions: Establish Independent Monitoring: Conduct transparent, independent environmental testing of electromagnetic and radiofrequency levels in residential areas, particularly near major technological or industrial installations. Create Formal Reporting Channels: Provide a safe, transparent, and objective framework for citizens to report symptoms, unusual environmental readings, or concerns regarding non-consensual technological exposure without fear of marginalization. Ensure Legal and Medical Oversight: Enforce strict compliance with international human rights standards regarding informed consent, ensuring that medical professionals are equipped to objectively assess and document environmental health complaints. Thank you for your time, consideration, and dedication to upholding human rights, public health, and civil liberties for the people of Puerto Rico. I look forward to your prompt response detailing the steps your office will take to investigate these matters. uesadaphd ________________________________________

The commenter acknowledges uncertainty about harm within current limits while requesting independent long…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am deeply concerned about the potential long-term health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs), radiofrequency (RF) radiation, and the increasing amount of wireless radiation exposure in our everyday environments. As a mother, I am particularly concerned about the cumulative exposure our children experience from an early age through cell phones, Wi-Fi, tablets, wireless devices, and technology in schools and homes. Children are growing up in environments where wireless technology is nearly constant, yet important questions remain about the effects of lifelong exposure. I recognize that current scientific evidence has not established that everyday wireless exposure within existing safety limits causes adverse health effects. However, I believe the remaining scientific uncertainties deserve continued independent investigation, particularly regarding long-term exposure, developing children, pregnancy, sleep, neurological health, and reproductive health. I am also concerned about whether current safety standards adequately reflect modern exposure patterns. People are no longer exposed to just one wireless device at a time. Many of us live and work surrounded by multiple sources of radiofrequency emissions throughout the day. I would like to see more research examining realistic, combined, and prolonged exposure rather than relying solely on short-term assessments. I strongly encourage federal agencies to prioritize transparent, independent, peer-reviewed research, including studies that examine potential effects beyond tissue heating. Research should also consider vulnerable populations and clearly communicate both established findings and areas where evidence remains inconclusive. I believe families deserve accurate information, meaningful choices, and practical ways to reduce unnecessary exposure without fear-based messaging or having to give up essential technology. My request is for greater transparency, stronger long-term research, ongoing evaluation of safety standards, and a precautionary approach where scientific uncertainty remains. Protecting public health, especially the health of future generations, should remain a priority as wireless technology continues to expand.

The commenter describes electromagnetic sensitivity with headaches and rapid heartbeat, barriers to trave…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a person living in Luxemburg. These last years the quality of my life has changed quite a lot as I am sensitive to the electromagnetic radiations. When these radiations were quite low (3G for example) I could have a pleasant life but nowadays my body is aching most of the time : headaches, extreme nervosity with acceleration of my heart beats, unpleasant feelings in my mouth ( kind of electricity inside), feeling dizzy....Travelling is a nightmare even on buses as everybody uses a cell phone. Shopping , going out to a restaurant, a theater ...is unpleasant as public Wifi are on most of the time and everywhere. Even going to a medical center or a hospital is quite challenging for the same reasons. I am now retired but as a former teacher I can also say that it is unbearable to work in schools with all these new connected technologies! For all the people suffering as I do, I pray for a strict regulation that would help us find some relief in our everday life! Thank you for reading me.

The commenter describes electrosensitivity around radar, cables, chargers and television equipment, reque…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, I submitted two days ago but forgot to mention some more important information. I mentioned among many things, and apart from wireless radiation, but I also want to add that radar is difficult for us electrosensitive to live by for several kilometers, and electrical cables in the air and along houses since they are so full of spikes these dats from transformers etc etc... They should be either digged down or wired or shielded and better earthed. And also chargers for electric cars are impossible to live close to, even if living on the fourth floor opposite to them in the street. These also need to be better protected. And even 12-volts-fences are harmful for electrosensitive people and hence the animals probably.... And I noticed that the cable connection behind the television for the tv-antennas can also have really high voltage, according to my electrosmog meter. I had to unplug it, but still it emitted something from the antenna hole probably which gave me a headache. And the smart tv:s are awful. People don't know that they are like having a constant wifi / mobile antenna radiating from the television while sitting there like affected zombies for hours ... That is the inbuilt chromecaster that emit a lot of mw/M2, microtesla and voltage, even when the television is on standby. Incredible... And finally I don't understand why there is no climate discussion about the temperature rise that I am sure is also provoked by the mobile antennas. It's logical, since they emit really high microwaves, which like in a microwave oven heat up the water in our atmosphere. No wonder ut goes so fast now with the melting of the ice bergs ... Can't you just stop it, please!!!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6435572/ "The Relationship Between Parental Attachment and Mobile Phone Dependence Among Chinese Rural Adolescents: The Role of Alexithymia and Mindfulness" "Mobile phone has experienced a significant increase in popularity among adolescents in recent years. Findings indicate dependence on mobile phone is related to poor parent-child relationship. However, previous research on mobile phone dependence (MPD) is scant and mainly focus on adult samples. In this view, the present study investigated the association between parental attachment and MPD as well as its influence mechanism, in sample of adolescents in rural China. Data were collected from three middle schools in rural areas of Jiangxi and Hubei Province (N = 693, 46.46% female, Mage = 14.88, SD = 1.77). Participants completed the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA), the twenty-item Toronto alexithymia scale (TAS-20), the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and the Mobile Phone Addiction Index Scale (MPAI). Among the results, parental attachment negatively predicted MPD and alexithymia were exerting partial mediation effect between parental attachment and MPD. Further, mindfulness acted as moderator of the relationship between alexithymia and MPD: The negative impact of alexithymia on MPD was weakened under the condition of high level of mindfulness. Knowledge of this mechanism could be useful for understanding adolescents’ MPD in terms of the interaction of multiple factors."

The commenter recounts concerns about school tower siting, regulatory processes and workplace repercussio…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
About 12 years ago I attended a city council meeting in San Marino, CA, where parents were hoping to get a cell phone tower removed from the playground at their children’s school. I was appalled to learn that the parents could be sued if they expressed any concern that the tower might in some way impair their children’s health. So all they could do was talk about their fear that it could burn, or fall over, or that it looked unsightly, etc. Of course, the tower stayed. This is all you really need to know to realize that those who make and enforce our government's regulations have turned a blind eye to the real probability that our health and the health of plants and animals is likely harmed by some of these increasingly ubiquitous RF/EMF fields. One cannot even ask the question! After learning that I could be sued by the powerful communications industry for expressing concern that cell towers could cause health effects, I tried calling the FCC to ask how they came to the conclusion that RF and microwaves radiating at people were safe. I couldn’t reach a single human being to speak with until I finally selected the choice in the FCC phone menu for those who wanted to buy spectrum. After making this selection, I immediately got an engineer on the line. I explained why I was calling, that I was not buying spectrum but was a concerned citizen, and asked about what research the FCC used to establish safety standards. He told me he felt badly, that likely we needed to study the problem more but it was out of his hands. He told me that there was a group from whom the FCC got their reports on RF and microwave safety. I looked at the website he had mentioned. It described a small firm of 5 women whose mandate was to produce reports which interpreted complex data in their clients’ strategic interests. Wow. We were being sold a bill of goods. I tried to interest people at Caltech, where I was working, in this problem. I was told by my PI in no uncertain terms that if I took any measurements with an RF meter or EMF meter I would not be able to work in the HIV research lab anymore. I was told people would be upset and I must not bring “that device” (a simple cheap Trifield meter) to work ever again. I was later fired for specious reasons, and banned from talking to anyone in the lab. This felt really creepy. It was quite an education. I became more interested in the problem. The more I learned the more appalled I became. I appreciate the opportunity to comment. It is not my job to teach you, dear FCC, what you already know: there is something potentially harmful in these energies, else why can we not ask the question at city hall about whether these cell towers on the playground could be harming our kids? You at the FCC already know that you have been encouraging the rapid spread of this powerful addictive technology at the cost of our health and possibly even our climate. You know that in spite of efforts made by you and others to thwart studying this problem, data exists which casts doubt on microwave safety. Why are there articles entitled "The effect of trees on 5G" instead of articles entitled “The effect of 5G on trees"? At Caltech, before the Covid lockdown, I sat in on a bunch of lectures being given by the sustainability people. No one had incorporated the rapid increase in microwaves in our world in their models of our rapidly warming world. I see evidence around me that cell towers harm and kill trees, and likely, dry the soil, start fires, who knows what. The plethora of satellites that measure the ice depth at the poles shine microwaves in and measure what comes back. The difference apparently tells how thick the ice is. But is this a good thing to do? Could the small amount of microwave energy absorbed by the ice be softening the ice’s surface, changing its albedo, causing more of the sun's energy to be absorbed rather than reflected, leading to further ice melt? Are we in a way opening the oven to make sure the cake hasn't fallen yet when we make these measurements? We need to do better. We need a consortium of biologists, physicists, climate scientists, and engineers who are not influenced by profit or lucrative data collection schemes to work together to understand the impact of these energies (with which we did not co-evolve) on our health and on the health of our living world. Thank you for your time.

The commenter reports a son's testicular pain during prolonged iPad use, proposes effects on hormones, an…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My 22 year old son had a job this summer where he used an iPad for 12+ hours/day. He often held the iPad on his lap. After about 6 weeks he noticed a dull, constant pain in his testicles. He moved the iPad to a new spot and the pain improved. After the summer he saw our chiropractor who shared that he notices a lot of issues like this - especially a link to EMFs impacting hormones. I hypothesize that EMFs directly impact hormone function. (...Particularly based on the dramatic increase of perimenopause diagnoses at younger ages.) I also wonder if the chemicals released in the sky work to advance EMF's potency.

The commenter requests independent review of exposure limits and long-term combined exposure, including c…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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.
