Housing, work & access barriers

Perspective: Individual consumer and person reporting potential adverse health effects. Questions addressed: 3, 13(k), 16, and 18. I am submitting this comment because I want HHS to hear from people like me who are experiencing serious health problems associated with wireless technology, electromagnetic fields, and electrical exposure. My symptoms exploded after I purchased my Florida home in April 2023 and spent a week there. I have experienced burning skin, sharp head pains, fatigue, insomnia, difficulty thinking clearly, heart palpitations, tingling, numbness, worsening tinnitus, and vibrations in my legs when the HVAC runs. The vibrations stop when the system shuts off. I cannot tolerate Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and dirty electricity. I have made costly changes to my home to reduce same, including replacing appliances, changing lighting and wiring, using wired Ethernet, and rerouting HVAC lines through the garage. I am still struggling. I use a Greenwave meter to measure electrical noise in my home. My readings fluctuate, with approximately 400 mV on the low end and readings as high as 1212. Around 50 mV is what I can tolerate. I want better research into electrical noise and its possible health effects. When I purchased my home, a smart meter was installed. The meter was changed in May 2023. I requested a true analog electromechanical meter, but Florida Power & Light provided a digital meter it describes as non-communicating. My concern is not limited to wireless transmission; it also involves the digital and electronic nature of the meter. I have repeatedly provided FPL with medical documentation requesting an analog electromechanical meter, as recommended by my doctors. I even purchased one that FPL could inspect and install, taking the cost of obtaining the meter off FPL. I formally submitted an ADA disability accommodation request supported by my medical documentation. However, FPL denied my request without acknowledging or addressing it as a disability accommodation, responding instead as though I had made an ordinary customer request. Despite more than 20 attempts to resolve this matter, FPL has refused to provide the analog meter my doctors recommended. I also continue to pay a monthly fee for the non-communicating digital meter and its manual reading. What is especially discouraging is even after seeking medical help and repeatedly providing written recommendations, I feel my health concerns have not been taken seriously. It is hard not to feel that companies care more about revenue and policies than the health of the people affected. People reporting serious health problems deserve to be heard and treated with respect. I have spent more than $15,000 having mercury dental fillings removed in an effort to address my symptoms, but the symptoms persisted. I am desperate to understand what is happening and find relief. My condition also affects my family and others who do not experience what I do. They must sometimes change their lifestyles when around me. It is painful to struggle with my health while knowing that my circumstances affect the people I care about. I am severely affected by what I believe are wireless exposures and electrical pollution, and I am frightened by the toll this is taking on my health and my life. I ask HHS to support independent, thorough research into the potential health effects of radiofrequency radiation, electromagnetic fields, wireless devices, digital electrical equipment, and electrical noise. Research should consider people reporting symptoms in circumstances that may not affect everyone equally, as well as combined exposures in everyday environments. People deserve clear information about what is known, what remains uncertain, and how exposures are assessed. Practical alternatives, such as traditional analog electromechanical meters where feasible, should also be considered for people reporting serious difficulties with digital and wireless technologies. More needs to be brought to light about what people like me are experiencing. There are people suffering from serious symptoms who feel that no one acknowledges what is happening to them. Instead of having their concerns taken seriously and properly investigated, they are often dismissed or made to feel as though they are crazy. I know what it is like to struggle with these symptoms while trying to get someone to listen. We deserve to be heard, and our experiences deserve honest, independent scientific investigation. People should not have to prove beyond all doubt what is causing their suffering before anyone is willing to take them seriously. This has cost me my health, money, comfort, peace of mind, and the ability to safely live in my home. I ask HHS to listen, investigate and support research that provides honest answers based on good science. We should not have to wait for absolute certainty before our experiences are taken seriously.

Hello, my name is zhang taisheng, ic number s7728964z and i'm located in singapore address blk 312a sumang link #15-195 postal code 821312. . I'm a victim of psychotronic by singapore ministry of health, living in a flat with lots of wifi users and staaying near a cell phone tower therefore i'm expose to high amount of emf. It's so harmful that i had to wear emf protective items at home and outside. I'm hoping to get help seeking refugee in a less polluted environment. I can be contacted at +65 82034403.

Re: Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397, Request for Information on EMF/RF Exposure Question 2 (Perspective): I'm responding as an individual and family member. My husband and I are adults in our fifties who have dealt with RF exposure in our homes for many years. This response is based on our personal experience and our own measurements taken with a consumer RF meter. Question 3 (Experiences): a. Sources: wireless infrastructure (a small-cell node that was later replaced with a much larger unit), and rooftop solar systems on rental homes. b. Exposure: Over several years, we reduced RF in our Los Angeles bedroom to about 1 to 5 µW/m². Then the small-cell node outside our apartment was replaced with a unit about the size of a refrigerator. Our meter then read about 10,000 µW/m² in our living room and 30,000 µW/m² on our front step. In later rentals with rooftop solar, we measured very high readings in the bedroom. c/d. Health effects and timing: We both experienced increased inflammation, migraines and headaches, hormonal imbalance, trouble sleeping, fatigue, brain fog and difficulty concentrating, a persistent buzzing sensation and ringing in the ears, skin tingling or burning, heart palpitations, dizziness, irritability and anxiety, and joint and muscle aches. These began to ease once we reduced our bedroom exposure to 1 to 5 µW/m², and they returned after the larger node was installed. We now rent a home with rooftop solar panels, and all of these symptoms have come back. f. Steps to reduce exposure: While our bedroom stayed at 1 to 5 µW/m², we saw our health start to improve. Since the larger node went in, finding low-exposure housing has been a constant struggle, especially in the DC area. Question 5n (Regulatory changes): Exposure limits and siting rules should account for long-term, close-range residential exposure from infrastructure placed next to homes. That includes enforceable setbacks from bedrooms and living spaces. Question 9 (Disclosure): Residents should get advance public notice when wireless equipment near their homes is installed or upgraded. That notice should include the frequency bands and expected power levels. Rental listings should disclose nearby antennas and rooftop solar inverters. Question 15 (Infrastructure): Please study how small-cell deployments and their upgrades affect actual exposure inside nearby homes. In our case, one equipment swap raised the reading in our living room by thousands of times. Question 16 (Research priorities): Which frequency bands, signal types, and exposure levels are linked to harm. Practical, evidence-based ways for people to reduce their exposure at home. How people recover after exposure is reduced, and clinical guidance for doctors seeing patients who report these symptoms. Enforcement, meaning keeping bands found to be harmful out of residential areas. Thank you for considering this comment.

To Whom It May Concern, 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. I suffer (greatly) from all the wireless communication (EMFs) exposure. I suffer with terrible head pain, ringing in my ears (tinnitus), with a severe vibrational/tingling sensation in my mouth and face. Along with extreme fatigue and brain fog. So much so that I've been medically disabled with this condition (EHS). To the point that not only am I unable to find a "safe" work environment. But I am unable to find a "safe" living situation. Meaning, I've been living out of my vehicle for years constantly moving from one spot (which I can only tolerate for so long) to another spot. Non-stop 24 hours a day. It has now gotten to the point, thanks to all the newer, stronger and more harmful technologies that are being deployed, that I will have to leave the city (greater Seattle area) I've been living in for the past 40 years to some place out in the boonies. Essentially becoming a hermit and living "off the grid". Which in and of itself is a very unhealthy lifestyle. 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. Mark Donohue Edmonds WA

I have been electrically sensitive to emf/rf frequencies for over 20 years. Everywhere I go there is just more 5g, wi-fi and Bluetooth. We are saturated in wireless and our bodies were not made for this. It affects me in several ways: I have ADHD like symptoms when around wireless, I have tunnel vision when using Bluetooth and I get headaches & nausea as well. I think our standards are out dated and those that are sensitive are often mocked and looked down upon by those not sensitive. The only way I can gain much relief is through not using the technology which makes it difficult to function in today’s society. I worry about young children who are still growing with more soft tissue that the waves can penetrate. It’s far overdue for someone to ask for comment and I hope this time will be well spent and that standards can be raised and that independent research be conducted. Thank for your efforts!

I believe I was affected by EMF in 2020 when a 5G tower was turned on in October of that year. I was affected by having my first POTS flair. I had been living with Bluetooth speakers, WiFi around the clock and cell phone radiation before this without a problem. I was extremely sick after they turn in the tower. . I was weak, having neurological symptoms , gastrointestinal symptoms , AFib with RVR and many other symptoms. I left the house and stayed with a friend two blocks away, since the tower was placed 60 feet from my home, to see if that would make a difference in my recovery. 5 days later I was able to stand and walk around the house. I had been bed bound before due to weakness. Then returned after two weeks to my home to gather things and within 30 min I could feel the energy begin to be depleted again. I left the house after 30 min and it took another 2 days to recover. I eventually moved back home where there were no 5G towers isolated myself in a homemade faiday room for 6 months and was able to return to normal life again. This forced me out of my home, into a friends, then later to another state for my healths sake. I was formal diagnosed with A MD in Santa monica with EMF sensitivity from tower.

I am writing regarding the FCC’s response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ remand concerning its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. This issue matters to me personally because: I am a 34 year old woman whose life has been profoundly affected by a chronic, debilitating health condition, and who has spent nearly two decades searching for answers. My chronic migraines began when I was 15 years old. Around that time, a cell tower was constructed approximately 0.2 miles directly behind my family’s home. I cannot claim that this tower caused my illness, but the timing of these events has remained significant to me throughout my health journey. My symptoms quickly became so severe that I had to reduce my high school schedule. I woke up nearly every morning with debilitating migraines and vertigo, often unable to function. At one point, I missed more than 30 consecutive days of school. My family and I went from doctor to doctor, desperately searching for the underlying cause. I was prescribed countless medications in an effort to manage my symptoms, many of which came with adverse effects. My education suffered, my grades declined, and what should have been a formative, exciting period of my life became a daily struggle to get through the day. Rather than improving with age, my condition became progressively more severe. By age 26, I was experiencing symptoms that I associated with exposure to wireless devices and infrastructure. My arms would go numb while using my phone. I experienced stabbing pains in my head and stomach when people with cell phones came near me or when I was in areas near cell towers. As newer wireless technologies were introduced, I became increasingly concerned about the relationship between these exposures and my symptoms. My family went to extraordinary lengths to try to help me. We invested significant money in completely hardwiring our home and removing all wireless devices in an effort to reduce my potential exposure and find some measure of relief. This was not a casual lifestyle choice; it was a response to the debilitating reality of my daily life and our desperation to find answers. My family has had to make significant adjustments to our home and way of living because of the severity of my condition. The fact that my health concerns have required these kinds of sacrifices speaks to just how profoundly this has affected not only my life, but the lives of the people who love and support me. Also, when 5G technology was introduced in stadiums, attending sporting events became extraordinarily difficult for me because of the debilitating migraines I experienced. Travel became another challenge. Wi-Fi on airplanes, Bluetooth connections, and the wireless devices used by people around me became sources of concern as I struggled to manage my symptoms. Activities that most people take for granted; attending a game, boarding a plane, going into public spaces, or simply being around other people, became obstacles I had to weigh against the possibility of becoming severely ill. The consequences have extended far beyond physical pain. This condition has isolated me from experiences, relationships, opportunities, and the independence that most adults work toward building. I have struggled to maintain the health necessary to work consistently and support myself. Today, at 34 years old, I remain financially and physically dependent on my parents in ways I never imagined would define my adult life. I would give anything to have the freedom to attend a sporting event without fearing the consequences, travel without anticipating debilitating pain, work toward financial independence, and participate in everyday life without having to calculate the potential cost to my health. No one should have to spend nearly two decades fighting to reclaim a life they feel they have lost, while wondering whether an environmental exposure could be contributing to their suffering. People deserve answers. They deserve rigorous science, transparency, and a regulatory process willing to examine difficult questions. I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court.

THE TRUTH OF MY STORY IS DIFFICULT TO TELL. MY TARGETING Started i thought I was having loud intrusive thought so I went to a psychiatrist. Then the message started going against what I really think about things and very violent. It became very clear 2 way communication as fast as light like being on a cell phone. The physical attacks started as I began seeing a neurologist in April 2024 for vision changes and vertigo. I was afraid I had a stroke. We began seeing ENTs I thought something was embedded in my left ear. After a procedure we found nothing in the ear. Ive had to stay with a psychiatrist and have been placed on 5 medication to deal with terrors and severe bipolar swings and anxiety disorder. I began loosing support because we could not find help from the doctors and the verbal communication has been life threatening if I try to tell a yone, get help from fa.ily. doctors or the police. I was reporting everything. My cell phone is remote accessed into reported that. I received messages I. My own messenger toolbar. Threatening me. Ive asked for my phone to be taken by authorities but no one has done this yet . They physical attacks started October 2024 and have not stopped. Ive been sick every since and terrified. Someone has my body locked into what seems to be a 4 by 6 foot position delivering clear microwaves with verbal communication and physical attacks. Please im going to loose my life if you do not stop my attacker. He uses so many different forms of attack. He will target my main organs and talk all day about how he is hurting me, never leaving me alive, he doesnt know how to stop. Im got a thyroid nodule, a hiatal hernia and hernia on my intestine. Im on heart medicine metoprolol for the heart rate after attacks. My Arlington memorial Arlington TX ER doctor tor tried to find a specialist in Texas to get diagnosed with havanna sydrome attacks but she was only able to find a doctor in Washington D.C. The physical assaults are very violent and the terror of being forced into a verbal communication with my attacker day after day is something I cannot begin to express the agony and terror. You cannot move from the attack. My attacker says it every day "we wont leave until they take it out of my hands." I want chance to recover and live a life. Please help me. My attacker has threatened to take my daughter and put her in "the program" he talks about moving programs. You can audibly hear his messenger phone ring, you can audibly hear him changing controls on a computer. You can audibly hear him in a room like he has a computer set up at a desk. He has threatened my cousin a retired Brigadier General Michael Beasley. He said he investigated our family and pick his prey a clear hate crime as I am a woman. He has threatened to steal money. As I sit hear now writing this I can feel what feels like a laser just cutting into my stomach and my GI track. Please save my life. We are not making this up. I reported to the FBI a man Walter Anthony Chernay 45 of plano tx who said he met the man with this computer. The man said he likes watching people. He said the computer works off of a mesh network and uses polarization of light and magnitization to deliver the attacks. Please help me. This man should not even know our family but is stalking and hurting day after day.

I am exposed to 5G, WiFi, LAN, my neighbors in a rural area. I have a spinal pain stimulator and a DEXCOM7 medical device, internet printer, smart phones, tire pressure monitors, internet devices. Additional LEDs (which is been returned to tungsten and candle light, as the digitalization interfere Also) When I had lower dose exposure of 2.4 and 4G I had much less symptoms. Before, but extremely worse since 5G - has caused massive ringing in my ears. I have relocated myself into the country and woods, the symptoms go away while out in remote locations. These sounds are disorienting, aggravating, and get greatly worse within the city. Further, these things are dangerous. We have tore down the infrastructure of analog phones, robo calls, had become so annoying, most people took their phone out of their home. you cannot make a payphone call, because of contact lists, most people don't know basic phone numbers for help. Underground phone wires in sealed lines, allowed phone access to emergancy help-in hurricanes, tornados, minor floods, lighting, etc. In emergancy, specific locations in house and areas... with smart phones, people do not want to led help. There are no address books so you cannot find people. Less and less can you find places of business like hospitals, hardware stores, mechanics. Algorhythems of advertisers force out smaller businesses where are phone books allowed page size, font and bolding, but all paying for phone was listed. Not being able to contact businesses is just as unhealthy, externally as the radio frquenceies are internally. Addition RF signals and GPS, route you on interstates and bypass smaller business and routes

Dear HSSD, I have been suffering from any WiFi related or smart objects for many yea rs ever since the WiFi technology started to come into homes. I first noticed pricly, itchy skin on my arms. (This is known symptoms of radio frequency radiation) When I switch my WiFi router off it stopped. I also started notice headache after talking on my mobile phone. It has been problematic for me for the last 15 years or so. There's no escape for me in this world. Bluetooth technology in particular affects me badly and I always ask my colleagues to switch it off on their mobiles. I do worry about the risk of brain tumour. I deeply deeply wish to live in the world where I can live safely without all these technologies.
