This comment is 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. My father was a member of the engineering team that pioneered wireless phone technology at Bell Labs in Naperville, IL back in the 80s and 90s! A LOT has changed in the technology since then; the bandwidth of cell towers and phones has expanded exponentially, as has the sheer volume of radiation and EMF exposure from usage. It is well past time to conduct new studies on the potential health and environmental impacts of this technology which, at this point, has almost nothing in common with the technology that was studied and approved thirty years ago.
HHS needs to take 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. The experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should also be taken into account.
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 responding from the perspective of the following: patient, parent, family member, caregiver, doctorate prepared RN, researcher, advocate, and a concerned member of the public.
Wireless radiation has adversely affected me, my children, my family, my clients, and the community. Shortly after 5G rolled out my children, my spouse, and I began having migraine headaches. My children and spouse were given scalp injections, nasal medications, and oral medications for the severe pain. Both my spouse and my children began to have sleep disturbances, including insomnia. My children were so bad that their doctor prescribed trazadone for sleep. My children and I began experiencing rashes without any known environmental cause for which more medication was prescribed. My spouse developed a brain tumor and subsequently died. I have developed an autoimmune condition which causes swelling of my joints, pain, and extreme fatigue (all labs come back normal). My eyesight has worsened drastically from perfect 20/20 to needing a new prescription every few months which I cannot afford, so I’m having to get a new pair of stronger readers from the drug store which don’t work as well as I need. My foster teen has had a vast improvement in behavioral issues since reducing the 5G exposure, so much so that the teen is being removed from their psych meds for ADHD, anxiety, and aggression. I have since the 5G devices removed from all bedrooms and the router/modem is at the other end of the house then where we live.
I have noticed that people in the community (my health coaching clients) are also describing similar issues and those who reduce their exposure to 5G have an improvement in their symptomology.
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 and “studies” done by those being compensated by 5G have a huge conflict of interest. Those studies should be considered compromised.
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.

I am responding from the perspective of a concerned member of the public. Wireless radiation must be studied! I have experienced strange, high-pitched sounds and ringing in my ears, which is not explained medically. Furthermore, this only occurs indoors and not when I am in nature. In addition, brain fog is a daily companion, which some have attributed to wireless radiation. The facts are that we are being bombarded with something we do not understand the effects of, and our exposure is ongoing and increasing.

I am extremely concerned about wireless radiation. I had a cat who used to sit in a chair right next to my router. She got cancer and I'm convinced that's the reason why. I have been diagnosed with tinnitus (15 years ago). I believe it's because of the copious amount of time I spent putting a wireless cell phone next to my head. Up to 9 hours in one sitting.
Because of this, I only user my speaker phone and I have hard wired my home.
This is a real dangerous threat to the American people.

I am commenting on EMFs and RF. My life/health is very affected by cell phones and wifi. I do not use a cellphone at all. I get an immediate headache and brain fog if I use one for even 5 minutes. I do not have wifi in my home. My laptop is connected with ethernet, and my modem does not even have wifi capabiliity. I am fortunate to live some distance away from cell towers. I have researched wifi and cellphones and understand they pose a great danger to everyone's health. Especially to children. Fetuses are affected from the mother's exposure. I believe that this technology is one of the most toxic things in our lives. It is beyond me why it has been allowed to be ever present everywhere.
I have a smart meter installed on an outside wall of my house which is exactly where my head was for eight hours every night. After a few years of waking up with a headache and feeling ill, my son suggested he move my bed away from the wall it was on. Sine he moved it my headaches have gone. I know it was the smart meter causing the headaches. He also taped aluminum foil up on that wall to block the radiation coming through the wall. I hate that smart meter.
There’s a radiation tower 5 blocks from my family & I. It emits radiation strong enough it is “burning” the top of my head whenever I’m home!! It’s so fucking annoying being threatened by city govt like this!! I am moving my family far away. It’s really despicable how “things” are being installed in the US with any prior discussions with the public and concerns or agreements. Of course it’s the fucking Illuminati and there Israeli friends - AGAIN
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 son and caregiver.I watched my mother decline from dementia far faster than I ever expected. In a short span she went from managing her own home to confusion, memory loss, agitation, and a loss of the person I knew. Her house sits close to a cell tower and near power lines. She spent years living there, with those sources always present. I cannot prove they caused her illness. I also cannot ignore how quickly she changed in that setting, or how helpless it felt to see her mind slip while those structures remained part of her daily environment.Reducing her exposure was never simple. Moving her was emotionally and practically hard. Changing the environment around an elderly person already losing ground is not a clean experiment. What I can say is that the experience left me convinced federal health agencies should take these reports seriously instead of leaving families to guess.I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation and other electromagnetic sources. Questions about human health belong with agencies that have expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health. The accounts of families who believe nearby towers, power lines, or chronic wireless exposure played a part should be weighed together with the scientific evidence, not dismissed because they are personal.I urge HHS to evaluate these experiences and the research with care, identify gaps, give particular attention to older adults and other potentially vulnerable groups, and set clear federal research priorities on wireless radiation, EMFs, and public health.Thank you for giving individuals and families a chance to be heard.
I didn't realize how bad 5G was until I went to Maine several years ago and I was able to sleep and not have headaches. I then learned that a tower was put up in my town when the issues began. I also had problems with shopping at Aldi because a tower was put on their building. I have plug in blockers in my home and pendants on myself and my phone to help absorb the effects. They help but I still have issues sleeping except when I visit places that do not have 5G towers in the area.
Protect All Children’s Environment (PACE) asks HHS to identify and study populations that may be especially vulnerable to RF/EMF exposure. Research indicates that chemical intolerance consistent with TILT patterns may affect approximately one-fifth of the population. A nationally representative U.S. survey found that 25.9% of adults reported chemical sensitivity and 12.8% reported a medical diagnosis; diagnosed prevalence had increased by more than 300% compared with the prior decade. This concern exists within a broader chronic-illness crisis: CDC reports that three in four American adults have at least one chronic condition and more than half have two or more.
PACE proposes that HHS use the validated BREESI and QEESI, together with PediQEESI and a standardized RF/EMF exposure-and-response module, to identify affected adults and children in federal research, surveillance and clinical data collection. These instruments should be paired with objective exposure measurement, longitudinal follow-up and exposure-reduction studies.
PACE also requests protection of affordable wired, analog and nontransmitting alternatives for medically vulnerable people. Individuals should not have to surrender access to electricity, water, housing, education, healthcare or communication services to reduce involuntary exposure.
PACE’s complete proposal and a separate, hyperlinked references-and-evidence document are attached.
