Housing, work & access barriers

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless radiation. A dear friend of mine has been deeply affected by the EMF field that they can not escape from. He has been unable to work for 7 years during this time he has had the occasion to be away from radiation and experiences relief from the chronic fatigue and brain fogg but is unable to restructure his life because he is so sick and has a family struggling to just maintain. His doctors will not acknowledge his sickness because these causes have not been studied properly. No one should be subject to influences that are so devastating. 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 parent and citizen. In the last 10 years, the number of cell towers in every area that I've lived have increased exponentially. Their negative effect on the community is much further reaching than the severely outdated research being used to create legislation, would suggest. Seeing the presence of towers kept me from buying homes for fear that the harmful EMF and microwave radiation would cause long term health issues for my family, we moved from a heavily populated area to a much more rural one and still we are plagued by their presence- they are all over the college campus near us, endangering all the students. No technology should be assumed safe until proven dangerous. Clearly big telecom does not want the truth about the harms of these wireless emitting devices to be discovered, otherwise they would be open and thorough about the research and wouldn't be making it so difficult for people to comment, effect legislation, or protest them. The harm that these antennas create NEEDS to be reviewed by regulatory agencies that are not captured. You (the government) owe it to your citizens to protect them, not to harm. Continuance of this head in the sand approach is harm, active harm. 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 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 parent, wife, and concerned individual. After living in our home for many years a tower was erected within 100 feet from our backyard. We didn’t love the appearance but didn’t think too much of it. Then, a while later they ‘modified’ the tower and we began experiencing brain fog, fatigue, and just overall unwell. We decided to move away from that house as we didn’t want our children exposed any longer. While trying to move, My husband was then diagnosed with stage 3 lymphoma at age 50. We definitely believe that the tower contributed to this occurrence. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation.

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, parent, family member, caregiver, healthcare professional, researcher, advocate, concerned member of the public, or other]. Wireless radiation has affected me by bringing back my period, the issue goes away when I'm not exposed to it as much which took me awhile to figure out the problem was most noticeable when I went from a 4 G phone to a 5 G phone, and got a new modem and computer all within the same month. Reducing my exposure has helped, but being in a small apartment i'm not able to get very far from it.

Dear Mr. Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, Thank you for allowing the citizens of the United States the opportunity to share our experiences with non native EMFs and the adverse affects they have had on our bodies. I have had heart palpitations for years, not knowing where they came from. When my husband's family recently had an emergency, we went to a country and area that does not have 5g. All of my heart palpitations disappeared while I was there for six months, but as soon as I returned to the United States, the heart palpitations started again. I was in a room with 5g wifi and there is also a 5g tower about a mile down the road. I could not sleep for a month, until I was forced to move into a home with no wifi and no 5g tower close by. My symptoms immediately went away. These nnEMFs can also worsen blood sugar (which I also have experienced). I know I am not the only one who has had an adverse effect from 5g towers and wifi. It affects each person differently. Thank you for all that you are doing to protect the innocent and vulnerable citizens of America. We pray that God continues to grant you wisdom and strength. May God bless and protect you.

Have had endless migraine headaches since Con Ed installed 182 smart meters under my floor in the basement. Will be forced to move out of new york city because nobody cares. short wave radiation is lethal. you are killing everyone with cancer and you need to stop it.

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 homemaker wife. Wireless radiation has created created chronic fatigue in my husband since we sleep right next to a home meter and iphone. His quality of life has been greatly compromised and we have plans to move after his fatigue dissipated when we lived in Italy for three months. I hope you recognize that we are being poisoned with EMF's everywhere. IT MUST END! I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation.

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. Five years ago, I experienced random (or so I thought) heart irregularities that I had not experienced before. I could not find the source. Then I started researching 5G towers and the effect they--and related technologies--were affecting people. I dug deeply. I even hired someone who was expert at discovering if and how much radiation was being absorbed in people's bodies (when exposed) and how much radiation was in various environments. Come to find out that my body was absorbing a great deal of radiation! Then discovered that there was a 5G tower aligned with the window in my bedroom! I then purchased a specialized blanket and equipment to mitigate that exposure and ultimately moved to a semi-rural area with no proximity to such towers and myu heart fluctuations ceased! I therefore 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.

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 both someone who has been harmed by electromagnetic radiation, and from the perspective as a health care provider. When NY State installed a "smart" meter on my home in Rockland County many years ago, they did so right outside my bedroom window, about 4 feet from where my head was each night in my bed. Soon after, I began waking up early in the morning with shortness of breath and feeling like I was having a panic attack. I had never had a panic attack in my life and didn't even ever have anxiety. I would jump out of bed and run out the front door gasping for air. After a few minutes in fresh air, on the opposite side of the house, the symptoms would subside. This happened every night when I slept in my house. If I slept elsewhere, it didn't happen. Eventually I moved from that house. I now live in Massachusetts where Eversource is in the process of installing "smart" meters on all houses in the state. If we opt out, we have to pay $34/month for someone to come read our meter. The cost of living in Massachusetts is already insanely high and I will not be able to opt out. I have told Eversource this. I have told them I know from prior experience that I know RF makes me ill, and they say these are my only choices. When I educate parents about their children and EMFs, I always make sure that they are aware that wireless radiation is not harmless and that they have to take precautions, especially for their small, young children. Please help us out with this issue. It's exhausting and maddening trying to go up against these big corporations by ourselves. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Maureen Satriano Hadley, MA

I have dealt with a variety of issues with EMF. For instance, I cannot wear a battery powered watch or it will make my wrist ache pretty badly. Cannot wear a cell phone on my body without it aching. So I don't do it. when I moved into this house I am in now, unknown to me there were some wiring errors that created stray current which led to high magnetic fields. I thought I was dying until a basic Trifield meter exposed the fields and I shut off the circuits involved. Slowly I started to recover my health. Electricians did not know how to fix this so I had to find out myself. Took a long time to fix the wiring errors. All electrical items worked properly but still we had the high magnetic fields. I wonder how many houses have this and don't know it. When I was a child a dentist put several large metal amalgam fillings in my molar teeth. I had no problems with those fillings until wifi and cell signals were everywhere. Then I had just a slight tingling in my jaw. It was noticeable. I also had a few crowns on my teeth which were porcelain on the visible side but metal underneath. I paid a lot of money to have all the metal removed from my mouth and replaced with ceramics. Guess what? No more tingling. The tingling indicated an interference from the wireless signals. Guess what? Lots of people have metal in their bodies. in their mouths, their joints, bone repairs, etc. It is an issue and is why you don't get a good cell signal in a metal building. The metal interferes and interacts with the cell and wifi signals. I am not (yet) hypersensitive to EMF or EMR however I realize I do have a certain sensitivity and could become hypersensitive. So I urge caution with Electromagnetic exposure. I have also paid a good bit of money to make my home a safe haven free from wifi, dirty electricity, etc. It is a constant game of vigilance to see what is going on even in my home. I have several meters just to protect myself. So yes I have spent a lot of money and time on this issue. What happens to those who don't have the money, the time or the ability to research and find out what is hurting them? Their lives are adversely affected. We do need protection from the harmful signals. Especially those close to the towers and other emitters such as wifi devices. These wifi devices do not need to be emitting so much and should all have an on off switch. Which reminds me I saw a wifi router with a switch to turn wifi off but when turned off my meter showed it was still emitting wifi signals. That should be unlawful. It is deceptive. Hopefully we will see some changes for the better. Thanks.
