I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields, RF Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding as an eyewitness with a medical record of physical harm by these non-natural environmental toxins. Suffering significant secondary loss, I have become an activist and advocate for myself and others similarly situated. If unaddressed by the HHS and FCC, regulatory agencies tasked with protecting the people, we are a class action waiting to happen – supported by the overwhelming eyewitness evidence, non-industry-funded science, national and international medical and legal professionals. Criminal harm is occurring from this unauthorized experimental use not been proven safe in the updated, non-industry-conflicted science. See attachments. This wireless microwave radiation has severely adversely affected myself, my late mother, grandchildren, their pets and others in several disability groups I have been a part of since 1994 at my Social Security Disability documented onset. THE SUFFERING For thirty years I have suffered from this electronic version of an environmental plague. The original source of my exposure was with the installation of a cellular microwave tower at the NC church we pastored, near our parsonage. Exposure continued when in proximity to devices such as DECT wireless phones, routers, high tension power towers, and a cell phone after I moved. I suffered much secondary loss from an environmentally-caused illness foisted upon me by others who knew the risks. In 2015, upon relocation to San Diego across the street from multiple high tension power towers, and a wifi router on the other side of the wall from the room I rented, my symptoms drastically increased from an already disabling level to almost unbearable torture. At the next condominium unit I had to relocate to 6 months later because of this, there were multiple aesthetically hidden towers across the road. Symptoms worsened unbearably, and I moved a year later to an apartment complex in a lower EMF area, not knowing there were wifi routers in neighboring apartments, and an airport related tower that would penetrate the bedroom window each morning waking me up 30 minutes before the planes would take off. Purchasing an EMF meter confirmed objectively my symptoms and their direct correlation to EMF microwave radiation sources in the electronic landscape. HEALTH EFFECTS DOCUMENTED My health effects tracked, in real time, the exposures. From the beginning, as a young active happy pastor’s wife and mother of middle and high school teens, a non-exhaustive list of symptoms documented in my medical record included a 40+ drop in my IQ in the area of new information processing deficits including auditory delay measured by independent Social Security Disability experts as compared to the previous 140 MENSA in my high school transcript – “brain fog” is putting it mildly. Tinnitus, increased heart rate to 150, neurally mediated hypotension, spatial disorientation, blurring of vision in my one good eye, chronic optical migraines, later onset of cataract in the back of my legally blind right eye all developed. Sudden onset of “fatigue” felt like walking through concrete cement with every step. Coma-type of narcolepsy sleep for up to 20 hours a day, muscle cramping, sudden elevation of my formerly normal cholesterol to 270 happened at acute onset. Sensitivities to previously tolerated chemicals, including most medications, along with a new sensitivity to cold, caused a code during surgery and recommendation to avoid elective surgery. Cramping of my leg muscles and abnormal gait necessitated use of a cane many days, immune system dysregulation with a profile including low natural killer cells, abnormal T-lymphocytes, and a CD4 reverse pattern from AIDS. This is only a partial list of symptoms that occurred many years “mysteriously” after wireless installation near my residence ended life as normal, culminating in a 2020 adenocarcinoma Stage IIIB cancer diagnosis and being told by my radiation oncologist consult that EMF radiation caused the cancer, and I was not a good candidate for radiation or I could hemorrhage at those doses. After the surgery, I was in extreme pain when exposed to levels over .100 megahertz for more than a brief time. My MD attended the 2019 EMF Medical Conference in Costa Mesa, CA, and diagnosed me with what is now known as Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome (Diagnosis Code: W90.0) that tracked my symptom onset/exposures and is also associated with cancer, heart, neurological and reproductive disorders. (www.emrsyndrome.org) Reducing exposures post-cancer diagnosis and surgery with six months to live made so much difference. My protocol for healing is shared at www.warnandcomfortthepeople.org. This protocol I strictly followed as I was told I was not a good candidate for radiation due to EMFR. See attached documents.

I live in Sweden, Stockholm and I am suffering from Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome, Electrohyper Sensitivity. Since the rollout of 5G the sympthoms have increased! Its astronomical higher. I have Big problems when I go out in the society. I have a messuremeter with me to see were the Radiation is the lowest were its best to go. At home I have special courtains infront of the Windows and walls were the highest Radiation comes in from the neareast mobilemasts. I sit with an Ethernetkabel to my phone with WiFi, Bluetooth and mobildata off. On my modem I can turn off the WiFi on the router. Many people put shielding fabric over the router if its not working to turn the WiFi off. It takes away alot of the Radiation. I get these symphtoms: Headick, migraine, vibrations inside the body, that does not show on the outside, heartpalpations, nausea, ace in muscles, pain in the forehead, ringing ears, feeling like I am in a bubble, dizziness. I am so worried for all the children, they are very vounerable for DNA damage. Most small child has a mobilephone. And in the schools they have IPads and WiFi routers at the roof. When you scroll on a phone it admits very high Radiation and people get sick long under the safety limits. On top of that you have the mobilemasts, neighbours wireless networks. Hospitals have high Radiation and almost impoosible to visit for the people who are suffering from EHS. I have for a decade tried to get the information out through my facebookgroup: WIFI 4G 5G SKADLIG STRÅLNING with over 32.000 members. I have helped people who got sick to messure the Radiation in their homes and the absolute most important room in your home is the bedroom. European Guidelines recommend under 10 uW/m2 in the bedroom. So that your body can rest and build up the immunesysteme under the sleep. I have worked with my group for over a decade and I am tired. Facebook in Europé has still censur. I am retired and 70 years old. The only thing that makes me go on is the thought of my 5 grandchildren, all children in the World, there Health and future. This is one of the biggest healthscandals! God Bless You for doing this! Mvh Katarina Hollbrink

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 noticed very erratic sleep patterns in me and some of my family members since we had more 5G towers started popping up in our neighborhood. Sometimes I don't sleep all night. Often sleep comes short and disrupts my work, family life and health. When we are in an area without cell towers at all and no mobile connection my sleep went back to normal. 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.

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 grandparent and concerned member of the public When I am exposed to wireless radiation from wireless towers and high power lines even for brief periods of time, I experience sever headaches and an overwhelming feeling of pressure on my body. This effect has increased over time as more and more. 5G towers have been built and activated in and around areas where I have lived. Relocation to areas away from towers and high power lines has made a huge difference in the quality of my life. I believe HHS should address this issue on behalf of all of us who have and will continue to have physical pain and health issues due to the continuous exposure to the wireless radiation that needs to be mitigated. 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 live in Denmark. I developed electro-hypersensitivity (EHS) in 2020, when new frequencies were introduced in the country. The municipality where I lived served as a test site for 5G. I experienced headaches, tremors throughout my body, and a sensation of heat on my skin. My eyes would hurt whenever I looked toward a mast, and I felt these adverse effects whenever I drew near one. At the same time, I observed that nature was also reacting to these new frequencies; leaves near the masts and wireless equipment took on autumn colors—turning red, yellow, and brown—in the middle of summer. Simultaneously, the insects disappeared from my garden; the air became completely empty. My symptoms reached a critical point one night when I developed heart problems. I received no help, as I was not believed when I spoke about Wi-Fi and masts. I was forced to move away from that municipality and had to purchase clothing and hats to protect myself. I am now disabled, yet I cannot access any assistance regarding employment or other support, as this disability is not officially recognized in this country. Doctors acknowledge my condition but dare not speak out, fearing repercussions. Since then, I have met many others who share my experience— people living highly isolated lives, unable to obtain any help. A young, exceptionally talented musician who developed this disability died by suicide a few years ago; he could find no support, and his family never acknowledged his condition. He ended his life while staying at a nursing home for the elderly. It is deeply tragic.

**Personal Statement: Wireless Smart Meter, RF Exposure Concerns and Forced Enforcement in My Home** **Submitted by:** Snöfrid **Country:** Sweden **Docket:** HHS-OASH-2026-0397 I am a private individual in Sweden submitting my personal experience concerning a dispute with Vattenfall, my electricity network operator, over the installation of an electricity meter with wireless radiofrequency (RF) communications. **I did not refuse electricity metering or the replacement of my meter.** I reported my electricity consumption, submitted meter readings and paid for the electricity I used. My objection concerned the active wireless communications transmitter proposed for installation inside my home. I requested a wired alternative that would allow accurate measurement without this wireless transmitter. I have a hearing impairment and need written communication. On 21 January 2025, I informed a Vattenfall technician by text message that I have hearing loss and communicate through text. I wanted to discuss the technical solution, but my need for accessible written communication and my objection to wireless transmission were treated as part of a refusal to cooperate. On 7 October 2026, an enforcement operation took place at my home. According to my home surveillance recordings, representatives of the Swedish Enforcement Authority (Kronofogden), Vattenfall personnel, a locksmith and uniformed police officers were present. The recordings show activity between approximately 9:35 a.m. and 10:48 a.m. The rear balcony door lock cylinder was drilled out and replaced. On 3 October 2026, I had contacted the police in writing to raise concerns about the planned operation and explain that I was not refusing a meter replacement as such, but objecting to the wireless communications solution. The police replied on 5 October 2026, treating the matter as a contractual issue concerning access. I am concerned that my written warning, hearing impairment and request for a wired alternative were not adequately considered before this serious intervention in my home. I understand that the legality of the enforcement operation must be assessed by the competent Swedish authorities. I submit this account as my personal experience, not as a legal determination by HHS. **RF exposure and consumer choice** The proposed meter was described to me as having a wireless communications module using a mobile network. I was concerned about having an active RF transmitter inside my home and about repeated or ongoing wireless transmissions. This statement does not claim to prove that RF exposure caused a particular medical condition in my case. It documents my concern about exposure and my wish to avoid unnecessary wireless transmission in my home. I respectfully ask HHS to consider: 1. The actual transmission characteristics and exposure patterns of wireless smart meters, including those using mobile networks. 2. Clear public information about frequencies, transmission patterns and relevant exposure measurements. 3. Independent research into long-term and cumulative RF exposure, distinguishing established scientific findings from reported experiences and unresolved questions. 4. The feasibility of wired or non-transmitting alternatives for consumers who request them. 5. Accessible written communication and fair procedures for consumers with hearing impairments. 6. The consequences for residential privacy and personal dignity when disputes over wireless technology result in forced entry into a home. **Conclusion** My position is straightforward: I did not seek to avoid electricity metering. I reported and paid for my electricity consumption and requested a wired solution instead of an active wireless communications transmitter inside my home. I ask HHS to consider my experience in its review of RF exposure, wireless smart meters, consumer choice and practical ways to reduce unnecessary exposure. I support careful, independent scientific investigation and transparent discussion of both established evidence and questions that remain unresolved. Submitted in good faith as a personal account. **Snöfrid** Private individual, Sweden

wireless waves are accumulating and dangerous. The phone hurts my hands after awhile. My daughter gets headaches near towers. My ears ring near towers. We have to change technology or turn back to safe zones.

I have a friend who is very isolated because of electromagnetic fields, she can't even watch television. 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.

My life is no longer the same. I suffer from a serious thyroid condition and symptoms that prevent me from leading a normal life. As soon as I pick up the phone, I start to experience pain in my bones and breasts. I developed a large lump in my breast five years ago, and that is exactly where it hurts when I pick up the phone. I suffer from dizziness and difficulty keeping my balance, a cold, burning sensation in my head and fatigue. I often experience arrhythmias and paroxysmal tachycardia. Lately, I’ve been feeling worse because I live not far from a 5G mast. How can one protect oneself when Wi-Fi is everywhere? How can one work in this state? You must acknowledge that you are destroying the lives of adults and children. But perhaps that is exactly what you want.
