I developed electromagnetic hypersensitivity after moving from my home in a rural setting to a small city of around 40,000 people. My symptoms began after living in my home for 3-4 years. I worked as an RN at a large medical center. I was active with no medical conditions and on medications. I have always been involved and active in environmental health issues. I knew enough about "smart Meters" to have the meter on my new home removed as soon as I moved into the city. After living in my home for 2-3 years I began to have symptoms of extreme fatigue walking up 1 flight of stairs. I would wake every morning with deep burning in my eyes and a headache. I noticed that the burning would ease when I ate breakfast in the kitchen area. I then developed other vague symptoms - one night I got up with feelings of pain in my intestinal tract and I passed out in the bathroom and fell to the floor. I went to an Integrative Medicine physician for an evaluation. I had developed lupus and hypothyroidism. I had a strong sense that these conditionals had an environmental link. I had my house tested for EMR and "dirty electricity. The levels of EMR and dirty electricity in my home were extremely high. I lived in an area near many cell towers and my neighbors smart meter was abouy 12 feet from my bedroom. I am one of the lucky ones, as I was able to move back out to the country. I have gained my health back completely. I am active once again and take no pharmaceuticals and live a happy life in a low EMR environment. I am sad for the many others that are suffering from EMR illnesses. It was a very difficult time for me and my family. Barbara Cruickshank Earlysville Va.

EMF pollution has a silent impact on the health and wellness of Americans. Symptoms are often dismissed. We need real science to back up and catch up with what many Americans are actually experiencing. We also need to ensure that any studies or research that does exist is shared openly.

After investigating several school cancer clusters, this non-ionizing radiation crisis must stop! It is a proven carcinogen and the FCC has done nothing after the win with the CHD/EHT on August 13, 2021, of which I was a plaintiff. I lost a son who was near a cell tower on the SDSU San Diego campus and 4 men in the same room/building were diagnosed with brain cancers. I found several documents of illegal emissions with this cell tower, which is still on campus and near students/faculty/staff. To date there have now been over 20 deaths from this cell tower. You add any other form of wireless and it is a disaster waiting to happen. ALL of the school cancer clusters (at least 6) have been contributed to wireless radiation and the deaths of many children. The school districts release epidemiological reports and all investigations stop. They know not to have 'Toxicology Studies and Reports' to be had. Another issue to stop! The FCC is a captured agency via industry and many arms of the ITU (International Technology Union), one included is the ITU-BDT (Technology Development Bureau). The State Departments gets meetings between the ITU-NTIA and the FCC to collaborate. This must also stop. We have the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in this country and my son and many of these other wireless radiation victims deserved the right to their health and safety! Please, make the FCC review the 11.000 paged documents of harm and if they cannot change the standards, another department such as HHS must take this issue on! We can no longer wait since satellites are now upping their transmission powers by 700%. This will not only effect you and your loved ones, but the whole human race. Doctors must also be educated on the symptoms of wireless radiation exposure. My son had many of these symptoms at the time, yet I didn't have a clue about what was causing them. One prominent symptom was loss of memory. I have attached a picture of the cell tower and please notice the dead tree foliage. This has destroyed my life and the lives of my family. ~Virginia Farver~

We all know they harm us. Why does the government allow this? Also we need to be able to take our health care to holistic clinics and hospitals! I have stage 4 colon cancer and have spent my life savings treating it. Now there is nothing left for retirement at age 66. I will now be one of those older people working till I dye! again a corrupt health care and corrupt pharmaceutical corporation!!! I have spent over 60thousand to get well and get rid of my cancer cure me!! I did all the things on line and with a holistic team to put me v=back together. My Medicare take home is about 889.00 a month. Please fix this as well....Thank you Chris Vedder

Wi fi is a huge driver of disease. It has negatively affected my health in multiple ways. There are countless studies freely available on pubmed showing that wireless radiation adversely affects mitochondrial function,increases inflammation, and damages the brain. Corporate greed is the only reason in continues.

I am a two time cancer patient living for 25 years within 400 yards of NC State Highway Patrol microwave relay tower Call sign: WQOM811, Bailey NC 27807 Coordinates: 35.741583 - 78.115389, Site# HP1011, Phone 1-888-92 VIPER, VIPER 800 MHz Trunker radio site. The 6 GHz links are point-to-point backhaul tying the site into the statewide network. Context on what it carries: the Highway Patrol manages North Carolina's statewide VIPER Project 25 800 MHz trunked system — about 240 transmitter sites whose controllers are linked over microwave.

I am unable to use my laptop computer on my lap because I end up with abdominal cramping. This seems like a clear indication that something from the computer is impacting me physically. It also fits with the instructions that come with my "laptop" computer, which say, do not use this on your lap! I experience the same issue if I hold my iPhone in my hand for more than 10 minutes or so while searching the internet.

I strongly support a thorough and independent review of human and environmental exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs), radiofrequency (RF) radiation, and wireless radiation. I personally suffer from the radio waves from wireless devices. It is uncomfortable. Our exposure to wireless radiation has increased dramatically with the expansion of cell phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters, antennas, 5G infrastructure, connected appliances, and other wireless technologies. Yet questions remain about the potential effects of continuous, cumulative, and long-term exposure, particularly when people may be exposed twenty-four hours a day in their homes, schools, workplaces, and communities. I believe public health standards should be based not only on whether RF radiation produces heating effects, but should also continue to evaluate research concerning possible biological effects associated with long-term, low-level exposure. This review should consider children, pregnant women, older adults, people who report sensitivity to electromagnetic exposure, and individuals who may receive unusually high cumulative exposure. It should also examine potential effects on animals, birds, insects, pollinators, plants, trees, and other living organisms. Human health cannot be considered entirely separately from the health of the environment in which we live. I encourage the government to support independent research that is free from industry influence; examine cumulative exposure from multiple wireless sources; evaluate whether present exposure standards adequately address modern technologies and long-term exposure; and consider practical ways to reduce unnecessary exposure. Where reasonable alternatives exist, people should also retain the ability to choose lower-exposure options—including wired connections and non-transmitting utility meters—without being penalized for doing so. Wireless technology provides important benefits, but technological convenience should not replace careful scientific evaluation and prudent public-health protections. When scientific uncertainty exists and exposure is widespread, a precautionary approach is appropriate. I respectfully request that this review be comprehensive, transparent, independent, and attentive to both human health and the health of the natural environment. I deliberately made this **firm but scientifically defensible** rather than saying that all EMF or RF exposure is already proven to harm every living cell. That will make your comment harder to dismiss and, in my view, more effective.

I am the founder of the Florida Coalition for Safe Technology and also the founder of Fermenting Fairy. I have been a healer in the health and wellness field for 30 years. The non native frequencies that come from wireless infrastructure is the most pervasive health issue we have today. The problem is that it is invisible and people don't understand how it affects them. I spent the last 2 years fighting the industry of Telecom with my grass roots group. We need safer policy when it comes to these towers. Florida has very strict policy that is PRO TELECOM and does not support the health and privacy of the citizens of Florida. Why are towers allowed to be placed in our front yard, in the ROW? Why are they allowed in school parking lots, daycares, churches? They should be only allowed in industrial areas AWAY from people. But really what is the point of them anyway? It is just another tracking tool.

We are exposed to unacceptable levels of EMF short-wave pollution. People have experienced headaches, dizziness, inability to function, fatigue, heart issues, insomia,tumors, cancer and more. These cell towers with 5G and other toxic EMF exposures are sick. Even it you do not experience the above knowingly, you are still exposed and building health issues. Wildlife, which includes plants are also negatively affected. In other words, life itself is attacked by these EMF non-ionizing radiation. The concept that only heat generates injury was incorrect. There are safe ways to improve communication, such as fiber optics. In 1996 Pres. Clinton exempted the communication industry from health, safety and environmental issues connected to this industry. That non-regulation needs to be stopped. This industry is out-of-control. Cell towers are built near schools, which is an absolute travesty. We are entitled to a safe environment without rogue industries such as the above operating unregulated, immune to lawsuits for the health and environmental destruction they cause. I appreciate your concern for the public. Another issue involves geo-engineering. The public is now noticing the obvious spraying of chemicals and maybe more in the atmosphere. Whatever is sprayed is pulled down to the earth via gravity. A life on the planet is adversely harmed, and we are seeing the results. We are told the spraying is for ameliorating "climate change", which makes no sense. This spraying needs to be stopped. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
