ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello - I will be providing information to the effects of these catastrophic frequencies and radiation exposures and I demand that the FCC and HHS release their findings on this as well to the public. It has been presented before but shoved off as "We don't deal with humans, only frequencies." There is so much proof out there it is absurd that our government and the tech companies keep slowly killing the global populations with these weapons; that is what they are. See below info and any attachments on this. The peer-reviewed and human evidence submitted to federal regulators establishes that exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs), radiofrequency radiation (RFR) and wireless radiation produces a wide range of measurable biological harms—not merely theoretical thermal risks. As documented in the FCC docket, filings contained "peer-reviewed studies showing radiofrequency radiation contributing to cell damage, DNA damage, infertility, carcinogenicity, cognitive deficits, and cardiovascular disruption, among a wide array of negative health effects". This body of evidence—over 11,000 pages—was dismissed by the FCC, whose representative reportedly told an injured petitioner, "We don't deal with humans, only frequencies". Cancer Risk and Official Recognition The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies RF radiation as "possibly carcinogenic to humans". Professor Lennart Hardell is responsible for this classification based on evidence linking wireless radiation to increased risk for glioma and acoustic neuroma [A-2]. The National Toxicology Program's own study found "clear evidence linking cell phone use to heart tumors in rats, with some evidence also linking it to brain and adrenal tumors" [A-1]. A review led by Linda Birnbaum, former director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, concluded there is "substantial scientific evidence" that RFR causes "cancer, endocrine, and neurological problems, as well as many other negative health effects". The Causal Mechanism: Oxidative Stress At the cellular level, the primary mechanism of harm appears to be oxidative stress. According to Children's Health Defense, the evidence identified a "causal mechanism of harm" found in 203 out of 225 studies: oxidative stress, "which can lead to cancer, non-cancer conditions, and DNA damage". Professor Martin Pall, Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry at Washington State University, confirmed that "current EMFs can cause lowered fertility, neurological/psychiatric effects, DNA damage, apoptosis, oxidative stress, endocrine effects, cancer, genetic and epigenetic changes, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cardiac effects". Children Are Disproportionately Vulnerable Children face heightened risk. Research has found that "children's brains absorb 2-3 times more radiation than an adult's". This vulnerability is compounded by the fact that substantially more children are using cell phones from younger ages. The 5G Escalation The rollout of 5G represents a dramatic escalation. Unlike previous technologies, 5G uses "frequencies between 24 GHz and 100 GHz, known as millimeter-wave frequencies". Israeli researchers found that "our sweat ducts act as antennas for millimeter waves, meaning we would absorb more energy into our bodies". Professor Pall warned that "5G will inevitably produce universal or almost universal very early-onset Alzheimer's dementia and may cause near-universal autism" . Critically, "there are no safety studies on 5G", and Senator Richard Blumenthal concluded after a Senate hearing, "So there really is no research ongoing. We're kind of flying blind here, as far as health and safety are concerned". Brain, Sleep and Mitochondrial Effects The evidence further shows effects on the brain, "including impaired blood flow and damage to the blood-brain barrier, cognitive and memory problems, and effects on sleep, melatonin production, and mitochondrial damage". These findings are especially significant because mitochondrial dysfunction is central to chronic degenerative disease processes. Dr. Erica Mallery-Blythe emphasized that "the relationship between radiation intensity and biological effects is not linear," and that EMFs interact with chemicals, genetics, nutrition, and stress in ways that "can exponentially worsen these biological effects". Conclusion The evidence is clear: EMF, RFR and wireless radiation exposure produces oxidative stress, DNA damage, cancer, neurological harm, reproductive damage, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 very concerned parent. My beautiful son William was diagnosed with brain cancer in February of 2025. It is imperative that time, money, and deep care and attention, are given to anything that may be contributing to these types of disease in our youngest and most vulnerable members of society. 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.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The attached submission draws on several complementary sources of evidence including peer-reviewed research, my own research and reports from government and intergovernmental bodies. These include the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA), the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). It also draws on an independent scoping review and evidence map of the RF-EMF genotoxicity literature, an independent assessment of the evidence concerning RF-EMF and cancer using the Bradford Hill viewpoints, and a comparative analysis of approaches adopted by two international radiation protection authorities. The submission further incorporates an analysis of public submissions to the 2019-2020 Australian Parliamentary Inquiry on 5G. Symptoms reported by respondents to that inquiry are compared with symptoms reported in two smart-meter datasets: Lamech 2014, a peer-reviewed case series, and Halteman 2011, a survey report. Finally, the submission draws on my broader research into epistemic issues in evidence interpretation and the governance of scientific uncertainty. These analyses examine how differences in evidentiary frameworks, assumptions and approaches to uncertainty may contribute to divergent interpretations of the same body of evidence. Full citations are provided in the consolidated, numbered reference list at the end of the attached submission. Overview The United States Human Health Services (HHS) has released an RFI that is effectively asking the following question: What does the evidence actually show about RF-EMF and human health, and are current RF-EMF guidelines/standards, surveillance systems and research priorities adequate? This submission answers this question from a position that will be unfamiliar to HHS in one respect: it does not treat the reassurance of ICNIRP, the WHO International EMF Project, or the FCC as a reliable proxy for “the science.” Those bodies are one set of institutional actors among several. The evidence set out below, includes animal carcinogenicity data, mechanistic and genotoxicity research, an analysis of a selection of WHO-commissioned systematic reviews (SRs) in 2024-25, the documented influence of funding sources on reported outcomes, and the history of how the WHO/IARC World Cancer Report has treated this evolving literature. Overall, it indicates that their settled position of safety reassurance is unjustified and that the evidence has not been treated as a neutral body of findings to be weighed impartially. Instead, the selection, characterization and relative weighing appear to have been influenced by the prevailing institutional interpretation of RF-EMF health risks in order to maintain regulatory status quo. Importantly, this submission does not claim that RF-EMF is a proven, established human carcinogen in the sense that tobacco smoke and ionizing radiation are proven carcinogens. It is a claim that the totality of the evidence, considered across animal, mechanistic, and epidemiological domains, and without deferring automatically to the institutions that have minimized it, is substantially stronger than “no evidence of harm”. It is also a claim that the governance structures that are currently responsible for setting limits are not well suited to registering that strength. The attached submission contains sections organized around the RFI’s own numbered questions and integrates two bodies of my own independent research: an evidence assessment of the RF-EMF cancer and genotoxicity literature, and an analysis of the governance and institutional dynamics that have shaped how the evidence has been used, or not used, in setting federal policy. Where both analyses converge on the same underlying point, for example, that funding source and institutional affiliation are more predictive of a study’s reported findings than its methodological quality, the evidence and the governance analysis are presented together rather than repeated separately, because the pattern is the same pattern viewed from two directions.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I, Chad Ryan, 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, concerned member of the public. From terrible insomnia, gut imbalances, exacerbated mold issues both in the house and in the body, terrible tinnitus, to hearing EMF pulses through my implant tooth made of a titanium rod and a multi-metal crown lattice (I.e. an antenna!), the horrific quantity of EMF is overwhelming. I was in tech from 1996-2012 when I quit Microsoft due to EMF from computers, wifi, and cellular. First effects of sweaty hands, brain fog, energy drain started as early as 2000 and only got worse with time. I quit tech in 2003 for health reasons, but felt forced for financial reasons to return in 2004 until I officially quit and moved to small town California to escape EMF (outskirts of Grass Valley where the nearest cell tower was over a mile away). Note battles continue to today 2026 to keep cell towers off a elementary school and people's homes <1 mile of my house. After much research and trial and error I removed wifi completely from my house and felt immediate relief. I then had to clean up the dirty sine wave electricity coming to my house and generated by my own electronics using Stetzerizer electrical filters. I got my EMF sampling down to -62 decibels steady. Urban settings are around -42 decibels. A cell phone can pulse to -10 decibels within 3 feet. I found peace finally in my rural setting, but suffered every-time I went to town, stayed at a hotel/motel, on took a plane where everyone now uses wifi in a metal cage (the plane) which keeps all the wifi contained and absorb by the human body, and we wonder why traveling in cars or planes is so tiring now? It didn't used to be that way! Did you know that microwaves are pure sine waves called carrier waves that is, until you add the data onto them that create all kinds of bumps and eddies on the wave? If you study dirty electricity how pure sine waves become jagged and distorted by machines and electronics converting AC to DC, causing erratic magnetic fields that to the body are irritating and hard to balance, not to mention oxidative damage (stress)? Well same with microwaves with data added on them. Not to mention microwaves especially 2.4mHz that literally shakes water molecules violently in a microwave causing heat and splits DNA strand? Those microwaves can carry those erratic waves directly to every cell in your body! You are made of 72% water! Did you know that stem cell differentiation in bone marrow actually uses the frequency range that includes 2.4mHz to determine if the stem cell becomes blood, muscle, or nerve? Leukemia cancer, common near cell towers like the San Fransisco tower, is a cell differentiation problem! Why is that not talked about? I can go on, but clearly the ridiculous notion that heat is the only problem caused by our use of EMF waves must be overcome. When china--who has very little concern for its individual inhabitants--has a 10x better (more stringent) standard for EMF exposure than the United States, clearly industry has captured yet another so called regulatory agency in the FCC. 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 (cranial bone thinness) 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.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
the people should have the right to know how much we are exposed at all times and the cancer risk or degenerative cellular bombardment rates due to that exact exposure level. maybe there could be an app developed which triangulates the user's location and distance to the High EMF/RF/WIFI radiation and calculates exposure dangers.

See attached file(s) Your ‘Attach Files’ below DOES NOT allow a PDF file to be attached. Please advise. I can send a PDF by email if necessary to explain in more detail. Please remember I am the ONLY. Person on Planet Earth who can prove Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radio-frequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure is HARMFUL to cause Cancer, Dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, the list is endless. My research was requested by the British Government to eradicate Covid-19 using AI, February 2020, yet was influenced by the multi-trillion-dollar Pharma Industry & the World Health Organisation for a ‘flawed ‘vaccine-only-solution’ that gave long-covid, severe reaction or death! Cancer is caused (‘triggered’ to stimulate the cell to mutate and manifest into a cancerous growth or tumour) by Harmful-Schumann-Resonance from where you sleep, sit, dine, work, rest if ‘in-situ’ for hours at a time, verified and used by NASA! Meaning: Cancer can be PREVENTED using New Personal-AI-Technology!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Please investigate proximity to power lines. Regulatory guidelines say 200 feet from living dwellings is considered “safe”. It’s not. EMF and radiation emissions from lines need to be much farther away. Compounded exposure from other devices in addition to these are dangerous and impact human health and interfere with natural biorhythmic well being. Impact to bodily processes can cause everything from cancer to sleeplessness, headaches, tinnitus, nausea, inability to concentrate and many other diseases and symptoms. Children, immunocompromised people, and the elderly are likely even more detrimentally affected. Thank you for investigating and please take action on these measures.
