Cancer & tumors

We are tired of feeling sick from exposure to emf, radiation and chemicals in the air. I have a brain tumor I suspect from 5g exposure. I was the first in my family to be exposed to a 5g phone, which I have to use quite alot for work as well as personal use. The tumor is on the same side of my head that I hold my phone. I put my phone in my right pocket, from and back and now have major tendons tearing on my right hip and elbow. I also suspect from my 5g phone. Any area that our phones are on, gets hot. Our apartment, we had to have 5g router added, wired in the wall. And since it's installment, we have all been sick continuously with headaches, dizziness, nausea, stomach issues, mood swings, immense brain fog, again all ages in our household have been experiencing this. We are bombarded from towers that keep getting put in around us, plus existing towers expanding with more and more attachments. When driving, we literally see these towers every 200 ft. Its ruining the beauty of our state as well as killing us as a species with boat loads of diseases and cancers. We dont want data centers, we dont want or need 5/6g. We really just want to be healthy and you will NOT let us. Enough treating us like peasants and guinea pigs to experiment on!!!

I feel great about 5G, 5G UW, and 5G+, they do not cause cancer and do not harm people or berds

There needs to be strong regulations on wireless technology. Cell phone towers are at the top of the list. People living within close proximity are at risk for health issues. Especially the young. In addition, use of 5G with cell phones are putting people at risk with long term exposure. Symptoms include headaches, nervous system reactions, and possible brain tumors. This is especially important on trains, airplanes, and public transportation where people who travel a lot can be accumulating symptoms, which over time can be dangerous to their health.

Perspective: Member of the public and parent. Responding to Questions 10, 11, 16, and 18: historical animal pathology records as an overlooked data source. I ask HHS to examine a long-running record that, to my knowledge, has never been studied for its relevance to electromagnetic exposure: the autopsy archive of the Philadelphia Zoological Garden. The zoo's Laboratory of Comparative Pathology (later the Penrose Research Laboratory) was founded in 1901. From 1916 to 1964, directors Herbert Fox and Herbert L. Ratcliffe kept complete autopsy records on more than 13,000 mammals and birds. Their published reviews describe a striking change: - In 1923, Fox described arterial lesions as "exceedingly rare," found in under 2% of autopsies. By 1964, arteriosclerosis was found in about 25% of mammals and 35% of birds. - No coronary artery disease appears in the records before 1945. The first heart attacks were recorded in 1955. By 1963, over 90% of mammals and 72% of birds that died had coronary disease. Heart attacks had struck 24% of the mammals and 10% of the birds, often young animals. - A 1959 Penrose report compared 1901-1934 with 1935-1955. Malignant tumors rose 2- to 20-fold across nine mammal families, and benign tumors rose even more. Among 7,286 birds, malignant tumors rose 2.5-fold and benign tumors 8-fold. - The changes spanned 45 families of mammals and 65 families of birds. The investigators considered the usual explanations. Diets were improved in 1935 and then held constant through 1964, yet coronary disease emerged only after 1945. Population density and exercise were reported as stable. Ratcliffe suggested social stress from breeding programs begun in 1940. That cannot explain the arterial disease of the 1930s, or the continued rise in animals that were not being bred. Similar rates were later reported at the London Zoo (1960) and the Antwerp Zoo (1962). I learned of these records from Arthur Firstenberg's book The Invisible Rainbow. Firstenberg notes that this period coincides with rapid electrification and, after World War II, a large rise in environmental radiofrequency radiation from radar, broadcasting, and industrial RF equipment. The records contain no exposure measurements, and I am not claiming they prove a cause. But they are a rare, consistent, multi-species dataset covering decades in which diet, crowding, and activity were reasonably stable. The main explanation offered at the time does not fit the data. Captive animals do not change their own habits, which makes them valuable sentinels. Two broader points. First, any population shows a spectrum of responses to an environmental factor. Even if the median person and above notice little effect from RF exposure, safety standards should be built with the most sensitive people in mind, not the average. A limit that protects the typical adult may not protect the bottom quartile. Second, exposure drops off sharply with distance from the source, so simple awareness goes a long way. Turning off Wi-Fi at night, or simply not keeping a router two feet from your bed, is not Luddite thinking. It is a reasonable, no-cost precaution that most people have never heard of. My requests: 1. (Q16) Fund a re-analysis of the Philadelphia Zoo pathology archive and comparable long-term zoo and veterinary records. Pair it with historical reconstruction of local electrical and RF exposure, such as power distribution and nearby broadcast and radar installations. 2. (Q10) Treat zoo and wildlife pathology programs as a standing sentinel surveillance system for environmental exposures, including RF, with exposure monitoring at those sites. 3. (Q11) Because the disease in these records so often struck young animals, give particular attention to children's cumulative exposure as wireless devices multiply in homes and schools. 4. (Q9, Q11) Publish plain-language public guidance on reducing exposure through distance and nighttime habits, and make sure exposure standards account for the most sensitive members of the population, not just the average.

I am submitting this comment as a consumer concerned about long-term exposure to wireless radiation from phones, Wi-Fi routers, cell towers, and other connected devices. I urge HHS to conduct a thorough, independent review of whether current exposure limits adequately protect public health. This review needs to consider those most heavily exposed and should examine potential effects beyond tissue heating, including evidence concerning cancer, reproductive health, and children’s development. Please prioritize research that reflects how people actually encounter wireless radiation: repeated exposure over many years, often from multiple sources and devices used close to the body. Assessments should consider signal strength, pulse patterns, duration, and combined exposure. Please consider Melnick and Moskowitz’s 2026 analysis of animal data, which argues that existing exposure limits may inadequately protect against cancer and reproductive harm (https://doi.org/10.1186/s12940-026-01288-6). I also ask HHS to evaluate Lai and Levitt’s review of exposure intensity, duration, and signal modulation (https://doi.org/10.1080/15368378.2022.2065683), and Scarato’s review of US regulatory gaps and proposed reforms (https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2025.1677583). These papers warrant careful consideration alongside the broader evidence, including studies that have not found adverse effects. I ask HHS to: •Assess whether additional protections are needed for children, pregnant women, and other potentially vulnerable groups. •Support long-term research with safeguards against industry conflicts of interest. •Provide clear information about exposure and practical ways to reduce it, including wired alternatives in homes and schools. •Recommend updated standards wherever the evidence shows that existing limits are insufficient. Consumers should not have to navigate these questions alone. Please use this inquiry to advance transparent science, meaningful oversight, and public health protection.

not enough testing was done on all these cell towers and radiation causing EMFs. they are everywhere, near schools, daycares, homes ! people spends their entire day right next to them and even sleep near them ! do we really need all these cell towers? what about the link to cancer ? and other health issues? stop prioritizing corporations over health !

When I grew up in England they started building houses under power lines. 10kvolts+ and then shortly after that when one community had a sudden rise in leukemia rates they did research and found the electromagnetic fields around the lines were causing the issue. They needs to be research done on frequency and its effects, then regulations to follow. I have tinnitus and white noise issues. I have no way of knowing where this is because of the new frequency’s that have been added. I have no option but to have 2g my car (there is no way to turn it off). Just because science moves on and we can, doesn’t mean we should. I think people with preexisting conditions like add and adhd are more sensitive to frequency’s and I think more research should be done on this. Thank you for giving us the opportunity with to share our thoughts. Dr Adrian Thane

Lots of veterans served in the Iraq and Afghan wars. These soldiers and sailors served with high powered radios in vehicles alongside electronic warfare equipment that was meant to suppress radio and other waves. Lots of men developed cancer. Weird cancers I’ve never heard of like stage 3 follicular and lots of men became apparently infertile or only seem to have daughters. I think that there is constant damage to the service members in these vehicles and units that are around them, along with people that live near high powered power lines.

How are EMFs related to cancer, neurological problems and mental issues that occur frequently? How are they capable of influencing the feelings of individuals?

I have a str9ng suspicion these are causing cancer or at a minimum, contributing. Since the EV boom and covid, I've seen a shocking number of cancer cases. Many occured after riding on to of lithium batteries in EVs with no additional risk factors. Same as cell phone EMFs. I also see a striking number in overnight shift workers and I suspect it is from the emfs from artificial lighting.
