I was at an elementary school event. I had 2 children in the car, ages 8 and 10, and we were leaving the parking lot after the event. A car, that was parked facing me, had the blinding LED headlights on and I could not see to move forward. Even the children commented on them. Children and parents were walking around me and I was afraid to move. The LED headlight car was waiting for me to move but I had no where to go. The car finally took a U turn so I could get to safety. These lights are very frightening. Thank you

When living in Brooklyn, NY, Verizon installed wireless transmitters on the roof of the building at 301 Oriental Blvd. They also installed a computer system in a room in the basement and had wires running down the outside wall from the 6th floor to the basement alongside a set of apartments. Residents on the 6th floor were negatively impacted health wise and some became stricken with cancer and blindness after the installation. Communication with the local government reps and landlord went unheeded.

I am writing as a patient and former telecommunications industry professional who was diagnosed with a Clear Cell Grade 2 Meningioma in August 2019. I spent 20+ years working in the wireless telecommunications industry, where I was directly involved in developing wireless networks, tower sites, small cell sites, and rooftop and in-building distributed antenna systems for major carriers including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and formerly Sprint nationwide. My job required me to work in close proximity to operating antennas and while transmitters were active. I was exposed to RF radiation on a frequent basis, often at close range, with cumulative exposure over years of employment. I deployed networks at various locations including the Empire State Building, Barclays Arena, and The Kennedy Center. Since my diagnosis, I have been forced to confront a devastating pattern that I observed within my industry: I have watched colleagues and friends, skilled professionals who shared similar occupational exposure, die of brain tumors and aggressive cancers at young ages. I don't believe these were isolated incidents. The concentration of serious illness among workers routinely exposed to antenna radiation suggests a correlation that demands investigation. I believe strongly that my occupational exposure to operating antennas caused my meningioma. The location of my tumor, the nature of my work, and the pattern of illness I witnessed among my peers cannot be dismissed as coincidence. Current FCC safety guidelines focus solely on thermal effects and do not account for the kind of chronic, close proximity occupational exposure that I and my deceased colleagues experienced. This issue is deeply personal, but it is also a matter of occupational and public health. Workers installing and maintaining our nation's wireless infrastructure deserve protection. The public living near these facilities deserves answers. And patients like me deserve recognition that our experiences matter. I urge HHS to prioritize research into occupational RF exposure and brain tumor risk, to examine patterns of illness among telecommunications workers, and to update safety standards that have failed to protect people in my profession. Please do not allow another generation of workers to face what I and my friends have faced.

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, a concerned parent, and a researcher. I recognized wireless radiation affected me back in 2014. Someone came a spoke at a school my children were attending about the effects of EMF. And as a parent it sparked my interest and I thought I would start testing it out, I didn’t feel well, but ate a clean diet (minimally processed foods) and exercised regularly. My first thought was I would turn off the wifi on the router at night. I didn’t notice much. My next experiment, I turned off our cell phones when we travelled, as we were regularly travelling 3.5 hours, twice a week, then I was convinced it was affecting me. I no longer felt ill in the car and felt like myself after a drive, rather then feeling woozy and nausea after a long drive.

Now I thought I would try putting the computers and phones into airplane mode at night …suddenly I was no longer restless in bed with racing thoughts. Some nights I let my husband turn things off, but still would feel restless, so I’d check if his phone was off and sure enough, he had forgotten to turn it off. So I’d turn it off and fall asleep. I’ve now hardwired my house. However, when I’m out in the “world”, I don’t like to be at indoor places too long as I don’t feel great.

As you can see from my experiments and finding greater health, the wireless signals concern me; for the sake of my family, as well as society as a whole. 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.

Everything they touch goes to “CRAP” : Towers, Food, Water,EDUCATION, MEDICAL, Taxes, News Media , Churches, Libraries,

Please look into all this new technology. I am over 80 years old now and have never had the bussing in my ears before would like to know what is causing it

I am writing as a parent of a child effected by EMFs. My daughter gets headaches, nosebleeds and other various aches and pains due to increase in EMF exposure. She gets pain when near Teslas and has had many long nights of sleeplessness when WiFi is on. She is noticeably better when no WiFi is on or when out away from so many electronics and towers.

I am an individual commenting about my detrimental experience with Wireless radiation from a SMART meter. On 3 separate occasions over 3 different years, I rented the same cabin in the woods that had no internet or phone access for the weekend. I am very sensitive to EMF radiation and I was relieved to know I 'd found a "safe" place to vacation. Each time I visited this cabin, I felt progressively worse the longer I was there; I suffered severe flu-like symptoms. I was also very weepy, couldn't sleep, could barely eat, developed diarrhea and had tremendous brain fog, I could barely function by the time I left. The first time, I arrived not feeling well and attributed how I felt to that. The second time I was surprised because I knew I was not sick like the first time I came. By the 3rd time, sitting in the same chair, in the same cabin doing the same thing, I had a "deja vu" moment where I realized I felt very sick every time I visited this cabin! I began to suspect that a SMART meter was to blame but I could not get close enough to the meter to tell for sure. Upon my return home, I called the owners and asked if perhaps they had a SMART meter? "Why yes, and wasn't it wonderful"? Now they could know very quickly if a cabin had lost power or not. I reported my experience for which they were very sorry, never having met anyone who was electrically sensitive before. I've had many other instances but this one was the most dramatic because of being the same cabin, 3 different years, and having no idea a SMART meter was present. I am thankful HHS has requested these comments and hope HHS will take pro-active action to understand the dangers of EMF's and RF and move to protect both people and wildlife from it's destructive influence. Thank you so much.

My mother, Kathleen Konecny, lived in a house located very close to three cellphone towers. She was told by her physician that she had lymphacitic leukemia and was told she must stay away from people to protect her body. She lived that way until she died in 1997. Because her red blood count was high, she was not treated with chemotherapy. She lived with her husband for over 20 years believing the false data from her physician.
