Raises concerns about data-center emissions and possible reproductive, genetic and cancer effects across …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I fear the results of electromagnetic fields from the data centers. I have grandchildren and hope they will have grandchildren but the evidence of lower sperm counts, DNA impairment, leukemia as well as a Multitude of other problems that are not investigated. This is insane.

Attributes symptoms and cancer concerns to increased exposure near data centers, reports relief during tr…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Extremely negative health effects! I live near the Dulles Tech Corridor / Route 28 in Herndon, VA where data centers have exploded in the past year. Since they have become operational, I have experienced chronic headaches, tinnitus, chronic muscular skeletal spasms and problems related to EMF exposure. In the past year, I was diagnosed with cancer despite living a very healthy lifestyle and eating an organic plant based diet. The only change has been the dramatic increase in EMF exposure. I regularly hike and camp in emf neutral zones, and as soon as I am out of the area, these symptoms disappear for the entire time I am gone (except the cancer which is being treated). As soon as I return to the area, these symptoms return within a matter of hours. This deadly exposure to emf's is killing our population and forcing terrible illness on everyone in the radius. I am forced to work with emf blocking materials for our home and do everything I can to minimize the effects, but with minimal success. I will be forced to sell our home and move as soon as we are able; however, due to the terrible economy we are not in a position to do so at this time. It is time that our elected officials stand up for the people, for our health and our quality of life rather than their own interests with big corporations to allow us to live in the most healthful way possible which is our birthright!!

Cites study collections and a cancer-related public warning as grounds for stronger government protection…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
There are hundreds of studies showing that we are being poisoned by wireless radiation. No other country allows the amount of radiation that the US does. It is time for our government to protect us form this harmful exposure!!! May God bless attorney Jimmy Gonzalez for trying to warn people about what he believes caused his terminal cancer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIlOVJd0lA8&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR1TmqCh84ovxoDi8_jx2OoUKpk6ysHuQaZasKRBbPa6WLYWlgATIkzSTzI Here are some of the studies showing the dangers of wireless radiation: https://greenmedinfo.com/problematic-action/electromagnetic-field-harms?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

Describes household symptoms, animal changes and a spouse’s cancer around wireless upgrades, explicitly a…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Around the time our area was upgraded to 5G, we noticed several changes, including ringing in our ears, eye discomfort, and more frequent headaches. After our local internet provider upgraded our modem, we also noticed symptoms such as brain fog, increased thirst, and difficulty sleeping. Our cats began showing signs of illness, and the bird population around our rural property noticeably declined. My husband also battled cancer, which eventually spread to his bones and brain, despite initially being told those were areas his cancer was not expected to spread to. His cancer was also found to have a rare secondary cancer, adding another unexpected complication to his illness. I understand that these observations and my husband's cancer do not establish a connection to EMF exposure, and other factors may be involved. However, our experiences have left me with questions about the potential long-term effects of increased wireless technology. I believe more independent research is needed into cumulative EMF exposure and its possible effects on human health, animals, and the environment.

Requests a transparent reassessment of long-term, multi-source exposure limits, independent monitoring an…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I submit these comments as an individual consumer and concerned family member (Q2). People cannot readily opt out of ambient exposure from nearby antennas. I urge federal agencies to reassess whether existing limits adequately address lifelong, real-world exposures, including for children and ecosystems. Q3–4: Sources of concern include cell towers/small cells, phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, smart meters, and wearables. People report headaches, sleep disruption, fatigue, and other symptoms they associate with RF exposure. Investigate these reports systematically without assuming causation. I report no personal diagnosis or clinical observations. Agencies should collect nonidentifying reports documenting device/source, measured exposure, timing, symptoms, medical evaluation, and changes after exposure reduction, using blinded tests where feasible. Q5–6: Compare FCC limits with ICNIRP 2020 and IEEE standards, WHO reviews, and IARC assessments. Explain how limits address frequency, SAR, power density, modulation, duty cycle, beamforming, distance, exposure duration, and multiple sources. The U.S. National Toxicology Program reported clear evidence of malignant heart schwannomas in male rats under specific high-level RF exposure conditions; these results do not establish risks from everyday 5G exposure. IARC classified RF fields as “possibly carcinogenic” (Group 2B) in 2011. Recent human reviews, however, found no increased risk for several studied cancers. Assess studies below limits and distinguish cellular changes from proven harm. Q7–9: Use calibrated broadband and frequency-selective meters, personal dosimeters, SAR testing, and validated modeling. Measure actual exposures across locations and times, including indoors, during peak traffic, and from multiple sources. Publish accessible antenna locations, operating characteristics, compliance methods, measured exposure ranges, uncertainties, and ways to request independent review. Q10–11: Build privacy-protective surveillance combining cancer registries, occupational and environmental monitoring, longitudinal cohorts, and voluntary adverse-event reports. Investigate clusters with comparison groups; reports are not proof. Biomarkers for individual RF dose are not established. Prioritize children, pregnant people, older adults, workers near transmitters, people with implanted medical devices (including interference risks), and people with preexisting conditions. Evaluate symptoms reported by people identifying as electromagnetically hypersensitive without presuming an RF cause. Q12–13: Investigate reproducible biological findings reported below some limits, while recognizing that a laboratory effect is not necessarily a health hazard. Compare exposure profiles—not merely the number of devices—for 5G, emerging 6G, Wi-Fi, satellites, IoT, wearables, smart homes/cities, autonomous vehicles, wireless medical devices, and smart meters. Exposure characteristics differ. Require updated assessments when technologies change. Q14–15: Fund rigorous studies of pollinators, birds, plants, and livestock, controlling for pesticides, habitat, climate, and other factors. An evidence map found hundreds of studies with quality limitations. Evaluate installations near homes, schools, childcare and healthcare facilities using site-specific measurements, cumulative neighborhood assessments, antenna characteristics, and realistic small-cell operation. Q16–17: NIH should fund independent, preregistered long-term epidemiology, developmental research, animal replication, and mechanistic studies. FDA should evaluate consumer and medical devices; CDC should coordinate surveillance and risk communication. FCC and health agencies should publicly explain how new evidence informs exposure standards and disclose conflicts of interest. Q18: I request (1) a time-bound, public reassessment of RF limits and their treatment of long-term, multi-source exposure; (2) publicly accessible environmental monitoring; (3) special review and community consultation for installations near schools and homes; (4) funding for ecological and human studies independent of industry; (5) practical wired options and clear device settings for consumers; and (6) a transparent process to report concerns and challenge incomplete compliance assessments. The 2021 decision in Environmental Health Trust v. FCC required the FCC to better explain its treatment of certain health and environmental issues; it did not find that 5G causes disease. A rigorous, updated public accounting is necessary. Sources: NTP, Cell Phone Radio Frequency Radiation Studies (2018); IARC Monographs Vol. 102 (2013); ICNIRP RF Guidelines (2020); Environmental Health Trust v. FCC, 9 F.4th 893 (D.C. Cir. 2021); WHO-commissioned systematic review of RF exposure and cancer (Environment International, 2024).

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I think EMF and radiation exposure is something that society needs to be aware of. Towers and 5g radiation could be causing cancer to rise. I believe that it has not been studied enough and research is needed to expose the reality of the health effects it is creating.

Reports family symptoms after moving near a tower, explicitly acknowledges that causation is unestablishe…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a mother of four children, and our family moved into our home on October 1, 2025, approximately 0.2 miles (1,056 feet) from an active cell tower. Since moving here, we have noticed a significant worsening of health concerns within our household, including severe brain fog, frequent migraines, insomnia, difficulty concentrating, and emotional and behavioral dysregulation in our children. One of my daughters also has a serious autoimmune condition involving multiple relapses, hospitalizations, and extensive medical treatment. I worry about whether prolonged environmental exposure could be affecting her health or contributing to immune dysregulation. Beyond our current symptoms, I am deeply concerned about the potential long-term health consequences of continuous RF/EMF exposure, particularly cancer risk, neurological development, reproductive health, immune function, and the cumulative effects of exposure beginning in childhood. I recognize that there is no established causal connection between the nearby tower and our family’s health concerns, nor do we have evidence of cancer related to this exposure. However, the changes we have observed since moving here, combined with the uncertainty surrounding some long-term health outcomes, make me believe further investigation is important. I urge HHS to prioritize independent, long-term studies of residential exposure near cell towers, including cancer incidence, neurological and cognitive health, sleep disturbances, reproductive health, and autoimmune conditions. Families deserve transparent exposure measurements, continued evaluation of safety standards, and research that follows children over many years.

Describes cancers among neighbors near a substation, transmission lines and towers and requests investiga…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I would like to know if there’s an increased cancer rate for those people living near electric transmission lines and substations. Also, if there is a risk living near cell phone towers, I live near the Southern California Edison Serrano substation in Orange California where there is a 500 kW transmission line. This substation is still expanding and transmits power 30 miles south to San Onofre, California. There are also several cell phone towers in the same area near our community. In the past few years, I have noticed that several neighbors have died of cancer and many more are coming down with cancer. None of these neighbors smoked and most were very health-conscious. Please investigate as to whether EMFs are causing cancer.

Reports family symptoms after moving near a tower and plans to relocate; raises concerns about cancer pat…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am 36, married and have 3 young kids. We moved into a townhome with a cell tower right across the street about 3 months ago. Since that time, we have noticed an array of symptoms in our family- anxiety, numbness and tingling, trouble sleeping, chest pains, and trouble breathing. I am apart of multiple support groups and I cannot tell you how many people have talked about a cancer diagnosis after living or working close to one of these cell towers. We plan to move in a couple weeks. We as a nation have to acknowledge that unfortunately we are not winning the war on cancer. We have to look at what has changed in the last 10+ years? No more land lines, cell phones in EVERYONE’S pocket, 5G towers popping up left and right, WiFi and Bluetooth EVERYWHERE. Please do research, study these devices and technology and how they impact cells. Find places where multiple people suddenly start receiving cancer diagnosis and look at their environment. THANK YOU, truly, for bringing light to this situation, I’m praying there will be regulations and changes <3

Alleges decades of wireless experimentation and control of thoughts and bodily sensations, relates the ex…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
30+ years as a Targeted Individual. Subjected to wireless experimentation involving the effects of radio-frequency radiation on the body and mind. This phenomena in many ways identical to Havana Syndrome. Artificial dreams, thoughts, and emotions. Pain shifting across various parts of the body, aimed at rendering me passive and isolating me from the outside world. Physical discomfort including dizziness, nausea, tremors, brain fog, tinnitus, itching, tingling sensations, and electric sensations in the hair, face, and genitals—all induced via various frequencies. My medical condition is steadily worsening, and the injuries I have sustained include heart attack and various forms of cancer, constant skin problems and mental fog among lots of other ailments. I have been subjected to this type of experimentation since the early 1990s, and the torture has steadily intensified as the technology has advanced. It is time to legally regulate this form of experimentation, which uses ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) waves as a means to exert complete control over the body and mind. The transhumanist project must be halted and abandoned immediately, and cognitive liberty must be upheld.
