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 concerned member of the public. 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.

Please investigate the relationship between electromagnetic radiation and health effects! As a medical professional this relates to a lot of illnesses.

i have tinnitus since cell towers s were erected in our town. It disturbs my sleep and concentration. Please study the effect of EMR on the human brain.

HHS, I would like to comment on non-ionizing man-made radiation that the citizens of the U.S. are daily exposed to, which negatively impacts our health though they may not be aware of it. I am personally negative impacted with adverse health effects when exposed to man-made radiofrequency (RF) made radiation as I am more sensitive to it than others. As a result of being significantly affected by the non-ionizing radiation produced man-made devices, I found a physician to address to issue and was subsequently diagnosed as having electromagnetic hypersensitivity. (EHS). We are exposed daily by devices such as cell phones, cell towers, Wi-Fis, Wireless Access Points (WAPS), Bluetooth and AirPod devices, etc. In addition, there are low frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) produced by wiring and equipment in homes and businesses. Animals and plants are also negatively affected by man-made EMFs and radiation. A huge problem is that the FCC is NOT adequately protecting the citizens of the U.S. based on their old outdated man-made EMF standards based on the heating effect and not the biological effect. The FCC is obviously an industry captured agency and they have so far refused to update their standards even though on August 13, 2021, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled in the historic case EHT et al. v. the FCC that the December 2019 decision by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to retain its 1996 safety limits for human exposure to wireless radiation was “arbitrary and capricious." On the Children's Health Defense (CHD) website, it says, "In a motion filed today [August 6, 2025] with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), CHD urged the agency to collaborate with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to set wireless radiation exposure limits that protect public health." This is an excellent move by the CHD. The HHS should set the man-made radiation standard, not the FCC. Asking the FCC to do it is like having the fox guard the hen house. I am aware of no action yet taken by the FCC to revisit the old EMF radiation standards or that the FCC is collaborating with the HHS to update the EMF radiation standards. It is unconscionable that the FCC is doing nothing as far as I know to help make sure the citizens are not exposed to man-made radiation that negatively impacts their health. The new standards must be based on the biological cellular effect, not on the old outdated heating effect. This new standard, if based on the many scientific studies that are not biased in any way will help increase the U.S. citizens' health as many are negatively affected by man-made EMFs but they do not correlate negative health effects with the EMFs. All of the U.S. government agencies need to do things that prove they are focused on public health issues, not just talk about it. Remember MAHA.

Hi, I live in Québec in Canada. I can’t stay in Big cities and buildings too long. I live in country now but for 4-5 years daily challenges in contact with wifi radiation and 5 G antenna, and even my cellphone. It’s difficult to find professonnaly and in homes , coffee … confortable environments. I recognize easily wifi presence in a place. it fills the Space and create sudden pain and Big disconfort physically, shift of state (to stress, panic, nervosity, lack of focus, clarity, negative and depressive thoughts, states and emotions. ) I lose totally my balance and need to go in nature, Forest to feel well. I have a Tower in front of my home pretty close si ce 1 year. I am not able to fall sleep in the bedroom. I can’t stay a day long at home.

I MUST TURN 5G OFF MY ROUTER AS IT AFFECTS MY BRAIN. IVE HAD A SEVERE BRAIN INJURY AND THE PAIN IS INCREDIBLE SOMETIMES WHEN YALL CRANK UP YOUR FREQUENCIES. IT NEEDS TO STOP. THERE IS NO REASON WE NEED ANYTHING MORE THAN 4G. HISTORY PROVES THE HIGHER FREQUENCIES CAUSE MORE DAMAGE. LAST TIME YALL RAISED IT THERE WAS A PANDEMIC IN THE EARLY 1900S. WE DO NOT NEED IT CRANKED UP EVER AGAIN.

I started using it a medical alert pendant that uses 5G a few weeks ago. On the second day, I started feeling pain in my upper stomach/center chest. Several days later I thought maybe it might be the 5G pendant I’m wearing so I took it off for the day. I just kept it nearby on the seat next to me. Within 24 hours my chest pain subsided and I no longer feel it now. It’s absolutely Positive that damn pendant and it’s 5G radiation. I know that because after being a weak pain-free, I tried depending on again for a few hours and within two hours of pain again I was feeling.

THIS CONSTANT BARRAGE OF CHEMICALS SPRAYED ON OUR EARTH IS RIDICULOUS. WE KNOW IT IS AN ENCLOSED SYSTEM AND THAT MEANS THIS SPRAY STAYS HERE AND CONTINUES TO DAMAGE US. YOUVE DAMN NEAR KILLED ALL OUR BEES WITH THE ALUMINUM SPRAY AND YOU KNOW IT. YOUVE STUDIED IT. WITHOUT BEES EARTH AND THE INHABITANTS DIE. MUST BE YOUR ULTIMATE GOAL COZ ITS WORKING.

I have been experiencing this since 2020 being sick from what I feel is misuse of surveillance technologies and directed energy attacks

The current technology in LED headlights in automobiles and trucks affect my life profoundly. Due to a lifelong astigmatism in my eyes, these headlights create a white out effect when they are pointed toward me from oncoming traffic at night. It wasn't such a big issue until almost two years ago when they seemed to reach a sort of critical mass on newer vehicles. I have seconds where I'm blinded and I can't see anything but white glare. This is happening while I'm driving a moving vehicle. I'm terrified I'll hurt someone else by not seeing a pedestrian, or having no clue where any curbs or road markings are and crashing into another vehicle. Of course, that would likely be the end of me, too. I can only drive after dark if I can plan nearly all of a route on familiar roadways with no oncoming traffic, like service roads or freeways. The older halogen headlights never did this, and I mostly don't drive after dark now. My life is so much more restricted now. It's limiting and depressing. I know there are a lot of people with astigmatism who must be similarly affected. As I understand it, 21 U.S.C. 360ii requires the FDA to establish and maintain a liaison with NHTSA to test and evaluate LED headlights for their impacts on human health. Isolation, depression, and possibly crashing and loosing our lives are certainly impacts on our health. There has to be some solution, some way to modify the existing headlights, such as a coating or applied film, that mitigates the effects of what are like a multitude of tiny reflecting mirrors. I propose that this is an urgent matter worthy of research and efforts toward a way to make LED headlights safer.
