Cancer & tumors

Smart meters can cause risks such as house fires for which insurance companies have been known not to take responsibility. As well as  health effects ranging from headaches, insomnia, chronic fatigue, ringing in the ears, dizziness, heart palpitations, heart attacks and medical implant interference from exposure to smart meters as well as cancer: https:smartmetereducationnetwork.com/smart-meter-fires.php

Please address the concerns about cancer and reproductive toxicity that are raised in Melnick R and Moskowitz J, Exposure limits to radiofrequency EMF do not account for cancer risk or reproductive toxicity assessed from data in experimental animals. Please take account of Mevissen et al. Effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure on cancer in laboratory animal studies, a systematic review.

It's a horrible way to live with all this radiation flying in the air. It affects everyone, whether they realize it or not. Brain Cancer, Nervous Disorders, Digestive Disorders, Vertigo, Dizziness, Headaches. It interacts with the metal in your body. People have suicided themselves.

To whome it may concern I became very ill tick borne illness and subsequently became much more sensitive to things. One of the things I became sensitive to in particular were solar flares (very intense ones) and in urban areas where I noticed many cell phone towers I noticed some of my neurological like symptoms flaring , most noteworthy and to name a few : dizziness, extreme fatigue waves out of nowhere, disoriented feeling, odd sensations acuh as buzzing and other bizarre neurological muscular symptoms. Extreme numbness and tingling in extremities. The above comments are not a "crazy person" or a "mentally ill person complaining about nothing that matters" I'm simply explaining very real things I've noticed and kept track of because they affect me and concern me and affect my day to day ability to function and be at my best for other around me. The first time I felt a solar flare I was at Trader Joe's in Burlington VT. I was not feeling well and was somewhat unable to speak or communicate I was in so much pain at the time...the boom. It's hard to find the words but I recall it was powerful enough to knock out the registers and I was so dizzy I actually wondered if there was a gas leak or something wrong because I alm5felt nauseous because I was so disoriented. Almost like you got off one of thise gravaotron rides at a amusement park when you were kid. Enough to make you puke m very distinct and memorable feeling and moment in my life. I remember going home and being so affected I looked it up trying to figure out why I felt like I was underwater afte coming back from Trafer Joe's ..there it was solar flare. I wonder if the same science overlaps. Regardless I do think cell phones affect my ability to sleep well and have deep sleep. I stopped sleeping with my phone near me and noticed a different quality of sleep. I attended a lecture in FL about EMF Exposure. I do believe it causes cancer growth in humam cells...especially topical ones like breast, thyroid, and prostate. This above statement is my opinion. I am submitting it hopes less people suffer cancer and pain we can avoid if we work together to protect each other and future generations especially. God bless this administration and thank you for this opportunity to be hward and validated. Warmly, Alexandra Bambery Vieques PR , 00765

Our area is covered in microwave waves. I'm sick with stage 4 breast cancer. Please help our communities. It's too much. I get headaches, dizziness anytime I'm to close to Towers. They are on ball fields and places families and children are. These towers are all over our schools in Reno, Sparks, Minden. Everytime I'm near them I get so sick. My kids all had headaches in school everytime they were there. Now there is one .3 miles away from my home. It's located acrossed from a school and right next to a park and a neighborhood. They do not belong this close to us. Please help us feel safe in our neighborhoods.

Non-thermal radiofrequency radiation is entropic waste. It is a fidelity stressor that disrupts the critical timing components of biology, and what it produces is bioelectrical dissonance and a meta-disease state. The evidence is already on the record. NTP and the Ramazzini Institute found the same rare heart tumor. The WHO-commissioned review rated glioma and heart schwannoma high-certainty. The FCC's own 2 mm tests hit 5.2 W/kg. Europe moves body testing to 0 mm by March 7, 2028. HHS should act now, and the end game is Li-Fi compatibility through the Clean Ether Act. Comment of John Coates on Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397. Individual respondent. My full comment, with sources, is attached: It answers Questions 2 through 18, with every subpart, in order. THE EVIDENCE IS ALREADY ON THE RECORD (Q6, Q12). - NTP and Ramazzini, two independent lifetime bioassays, found the same rare tumor, malignant heart schwannoma, in male rats. Germany's BfS called Ramazzini's exposures "at a comparable level to the basic limit values for humans." - The WHO-commissioned review: "The CoE for an increased risk in glioma was judged as high." Heart schwannoma was rated high too. - NTP held heating under 1 degree C, and NTP itself says: "The role of thermal changes on cancer development needs to be further investigated." GSM gliomas ran 0, 3, 3 and 2 per 90 across sham, 1.5, 3 and 6 W/kg. Heat does not draw that curve. HHS should fund the investigation NTP called for. - NTP's 1.5 W/kg is a whole-body average; the FCC's 1.6 W/kg limit is a 1-gram local peak. Different measures, but the numbers sit right on top of each other. The iPhone Air's 1.60 W/kg is the highest simultaneous-transmission value reported in its FCC grant. THE TEST MISSES THE BODY (Q5(p), Q7, Q8, Q9). - The FCC's own 2019 tests at 2 mm recorded up to 5.2 W/kg. - Europe moves body testing to 0 mm by March 7, 2028. The U.S. still certifies at typically 5 to 15 mm. - SAR averages away the timing biology reads: GSM bursts about 217 times a second, Wi-Fi beacons about ten times a second, DECT and 5G NR use 10 ms frames. - Require 0 mm testing, and disclose test distance and pulse structure with every SAR value. THE META-DISEASE STATE (Q10, Q12). RF does not need to cause one unique disease to matter. It only needs to reduce the fidelity of the systems that prevent many diseases. Bioelectrical dissonance is the process, low-fidelity biology is the state, and disease susceptibility is the consequence. The causal fingerprint is not one diagnosis. It is a shifted distribution of biological failure: rare becomes less rare, late becomes early, recoverable becomes persistent. S4-MITO-SPIN (Q12). The S4 helix of the VGCCs, including CACNA1C, is the bulk-calcium gate; Cyb5b is the internal-timing transducer (Kim et al., Cell, 2026: "an essential mediator likely acting as an EMF sensor"); mitochondria are the redox amplifier (95% of 131 non-thermal studies found oxidative effects); cryptochrome-to-flavins spin dynamics are the modulator. At matched SAR, pulse modulation, not the carrier, changed human EEG and blood flow. HHS should test whether pulsed exposure disrupts pulsatile insulin release, which runs on the same calcium machinery. SENSITIVE POPULATIONS (Q11). Development has no restore point. Children absorb higher local doses; NTP pups were born smaller; responses differ by CACNA1C genotype and mouse strain; aging neurons carry more L-type calcium channels. WHAT I ASK (Q5, Q15, Q16, Q17, Q18). - Reinvigorate Public Law 90-602. It is HHS's job. The Secretary "shall establish and carry out an electronic product radiation control program" and develop techniques "for minimizing exposure." Publish the performance-standard determination and a public work plan; replace FDA's tumor-only 2020 review. - Run the meta-disease experiment: pulsed RF vs carrier-only vs sham at matched SAR, from the womb, measuring fidelity endpoints before pathology (NIEHS/NTP). - Fund Cyb5b, CACNA1C and organoid replication (NIH); build registries and measured-exposure cohorts (CDC); issue precautionary guidance now. - Repeal Section 704, which bars localities from weighing RF health effects in siting. - Pass the Clean Ether Act: fiber, Ethernet and Li-Fi on IEEE 802.11bb indoors, with pilots in Head Start, childcare, maternity and pediatric care, and HHS facilities. Invisible does not mean irrelevant. Non-ionizing does not mean non-biological. Legal does not mean safe. I was diagnosed with kidney cancer at age 7 in 1977, with my left kidney removed at age 8, while my family lived near a radar installation on a military base. In 1995 my daughter Angel Leigh was born with anencephaly and did not survive. My daughter was the canary in the coal mine... and so was I. John Coates RF Safe

I am extremely concerned that the information sought in this public comment forum will be used as some sort of factual documentation of the lack of EMF harm to promote a message that 765kv transmissions are "perfectly safe" when we have not had the scale that is being proposed,EVER in the US before to even study like we need to BEFORE this crazy level of new construction is approved by PJM. Are we going to experiment on people in the US and then realize like we did with lead and asbestos exposure how wrong we were? There are several countries that DO recognize the need for setbacks and this is what any governing body that cares about our kids and vulnerable population would be seeking for our citizens. There are other countries who have documented trends of leukemia for children living close to high voltage lines. Why is this not being researched and considered? Please do not use this study against the people of the US to push transmission lines on us and attempt to negate our concerns. Keep transmission lines away from schools, parks and houses. Keep them away from anywhere animals are living and grazing. Please at the very least use the feedback here to establish safe setbacks at a bare minimum of 1000 feet.

Strong manmade wireless radiation damages all living things. The biological effects have been known for many years. saferemr.com bioinitiative.org The race to saturate the earth over the last 30yrs may have had many different motives, but it has thrived on public ignorance. Nature already had the perfect balance of electricity in all things, now it is hard to find a natural place. EMR & RFR causes chaos in molecules, disturbing & damaging natural function. Radiation sickness is now common as emissions are now hard to avoid. Blood, brain, heart and body functions are all immediately affected by exposure to wireless fields. I have witnessed hundreds of people suffering with conditions and cancers. The industry needs to be regulated. There needs to be rules. There needs to be balance. Only low radiation products should be allowed. Irradiating should be a crime. There should be routine testing of RFR & EMR levels in all areas. There should be information & education. There should be consent/choice/options. There should be safe areas/low radiation zones in all buildings/transport/parks etc. There should be more shielding in products and in public places. Thank You.

I urge the Department of Health and Human Services to take immediate, independent action to evaluate the potential health effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation and electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure. Regulatory inaction is unacceptable when scientific questions remain and public exposure continues to increase. We must not repeat the mistakes of the tobacco industry, where warnings and scientific concerns were met with years of delay while the public remained exposed. The comparison is about regulatory responsibility—not a claim that the evidence on wireless radiation is identical to the evidence on tobacco. Scientific evidence warrants serious attention. In 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified RF electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). The U.S. National Toxicology Program’s animal studies reported evidence of certain tumors associated with cell-phone RF exposure. More recent systematic reviews have found no clear increase in some cancers examined, underscoring the need for continued independent research rather than complacency. Research also raises questions about reproductive health and biological effects. A 2024 systematic review by Cordelli and colleagues examined RF exposure and male fertility, including evidence from animal studies and human sperm in vitro. Grimaldi and colleagues reported in 1997 that exposure to 50-Hz electromagnetic fields affected Epstein–Barr virus antigen expression in a laboratory cell model. These findings do not establish that everyday wireless exposure causes disease, but they demonstrate why biological effects deserve rigorous investigation. The scientific literature must be evaluated objectively, including evidence of harm, evidence of no effect, and uncertainties. Research should be independent of industry influence, transparent, reproducible, and sufficiently funded to address long-term and cumulative exposure. I call on HHS to take the following actions immediately: 1. Commission an independent, comprehensive review of peer-reviewed research on RF radiation and EMF exposure, including cancer, reproductive health, neurological effects, and other potential biological impacts. 2. Reassess whether current exposure limits adequately reflect the scientific evidence, including uncertainties regarding long-term and cumulative exposure. 3. Increase funding for independent research and long-term studies, with particular attention to children, pregnancy, and other potentially vulnerable populations. 4. Improve public education and transparency about exposure sources, scientific uncertainties, and practical ways to reduce unnecessary exposure. 5. Establish clear timelines for review, public reporting, and regulatory action. The absence of definitive proof of harm is not proof of safety. HHS must not wait for incontrovertible evidence of widespread harm before acting responsibly. The public deserves transparent science, independent oversight, and precautionary policies that put health ahead of commercial interests. Relevant peer-reviewed research and sources • Baan R, et al.

The research regarding EMFs, RF radiation, wireless radiation exposure, and LED light is woefully inadequate. The studies done by the industries which have an interest in these radiations are biased towards the industries and do not properly study the effects of these radiations, particularly on susceptible populations including women, children, the aged, and those with medical disabilities, registered or otherwise. The FCC has been complicit in this, by its failure to act in a timely way. Please note the ruling in the Italian Supreme Court of Cassation in Briganti v. Apple , where the court ruled that adherence to technical safety limits does not void a company's responsibility to inform the consumer of possible safety risks. The DHHS should be conducting a thorough unbiased study of the effects of EMF, RF, Wireless Radiation Exposure, and LED exposure, given the extraordinary increase in cancers and numerous other diseases and syndromes in humans, environmental degradation, and the deterioration in the quality of life of the increasing number of people who cannot tolerate one or all of these environmental hazards.
