ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I’m negatively affected by emfs, rf and wifi signals. It causes me to have rapid heart rate, palpitations, brain fog, insomnia and headaches. There needs to be some serious investigations and restrictions put in place, especially for sake of our children. They are extremely vulnerable to negative consequences to their growing bodies and brains. Investigate smart meters too. Those are horrible for everyone’s health and safety.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
To HHS, I experience symptoms such as headaches, heart racing, palpitations, irritability, and insomnia when exposed to wireless signals. I live in a shielded home with no wireless inside to help minimize exposure. I'm concerned that the United States has not adopted sufficiently precautionary policies to minimize public exposure to wireless radiation, particularly for people who report sensitivity. Other countries have demonstrated that stronger protective measures are possible. For example, France restricts the installation and use of wireless internet equipment in certain childcare settings and requires Wi-Fi in primary school classrooms to be switched off when not used for educational activities. Some European countries have also adopted stricter radio frequency exposure limits or additional protections for sensitive locations. I believe the United States should carefully examine these international approaches and consider stronger protections for public health. Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 restricts local governments from regulating cell tower placement based on the environmental effects of compliant radio frequency emissions, and I disagree with that restriction. Communities should be able to consider health concerns when deciding where towers go. Thank you for your consideration. Dianna Suslo

Reports symptoms near masts, Wi-Fi and electric buses, loss of employment and restricted family visits, a…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am writing this in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. My name is Carol Franks and I live in the UK. I am responding as an individual who suffers debilitating symptoms with exposure to Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am sure that, from all the studies and evidence gathered by independent bodies that we are all affected, but some of us are noticeably physically affected and this is very restricting on life style. Tests that my general practitioner had carried out, for the symptoms, showed no other reason for the nose bleeds, heart-rate changes, rashes; pains about my body and head; fatigue; nausea/digestive reactions among other symptoms particularly when in the vicinity of masts or mobile phones. The rashes especially from ankles up to knee can occur after riding on electric buses. They can last for up to a week and I find I need to refrain from riding on electric buses or being near Wi-Fi for up to that time as I feel unwell along with the rashes. If I ride on a longer journey on an electric bus with all the mobile phones of passengers or short journeys 2 days running I am unwell with symptoms of nausea and digestive issues the following day that cease if I remain at home without Wi-Fi. My life has been restricted since I had to give up my job several years ago because of the debilitating symptoms working with Wi-Fi. I am affected by all electricity, but can be on a wired computer for up to one hour without debilitating symptoms. I can have no Wi-Fi in the house. This, of course, has affected my husband, too, with living with me and my ability to live a normal family life with my daughter and family. She has Wi-Fi in her house and I can only stay for a short time and can’t visit her too often. She is aware, but uses a smart phone and I need to sit away in the conservatory when I visit her, but I still get symptoms afterwards. Two examples of experiences that were in the diary kept for my doctor are: The first was when I was walking to visit my Father. I was with my husband and we were chatting and walking through a hedge-lined lane about 2 miles from my home when suddenly all my energy started to drain from my body and I felt scared because I thought I was going to fall. My husband caught me to support me. I said to him, ‘I can’t understand it because I was feeling fine until now’. He replied ‘There is a mast just around the corner.’ There was a z bend in the lane so this was not visible from where we were with the high hedges. I replied, ‘I didn’t know that, show me where’ He said, ‘It is disguised as a tree.’ He continued, ‘I will help you to get past it and see if you feel better when we put some distance between us and the mast.’ We did so and as we walked further from the mast, my energy returned and I felt my strength return to finish the walk to see my father. The second example is: When we changed broadband providers, a new router was sent to us. My husband spoke to the company and asked if it could be wired not Wi-Fi, explaining why. The company assistant said it could be either and my husband said it must be wired as my wife is badly affected by Wi-Fi. My husband set it up when it arrived, but I didn’t know as I was out at the time. On returning, I went to use the computer. I was only working on it for about ten minutes when I started to feel quite ill – nauseous, dizzy, foggy in the head and disorientated. I felt frightened and anxious, so I told my husband. I said to him that I was going into the garden to see if I felt better and I did. I thought it could be the weather as I always felt slightly unwell before a storm, but this was much worse. I came back to my computer to carry on working, but this time I was only on it for a few minutes before the awful symptoms returned. I said to my husband that it must be something in the room. I indicated that I was going for a shower to see if that helped me. While I was in the shower, my husband called to me at the door saying that he thought he knew what the problem was – the new router. He said he had looked into it and he needed to go on to the Internet to de-activate the Wi-Fi. He said he would do that and when I came out of the shower, I could see if it was better. I went back to my computer again and I was on it for an hour and I was fine. I ask HHS to carefully evaluate experiences of people like me and the scientific evidence; identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to the young and other potentially vulnerable people. Please establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for reading my response.

Urges review of cited long-term animal studies, updated public information and safer tower placement, que…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Please look at the low dose EMF rat studies (continuous low dose EMF's, like what humans are exposed to, over two years) that Dr. Paul Heroux carried out at McGill University in Canada. What happens in a rat, happens in a human! Deleterious results to the cornea, testicles and heart were evident in the rats. The FCC only used hours long, high doses of EMF's that caused burning, but never published studies with low dose EMF's done over months or years. Don't ignore the studies that show negative effects from EMF's. Last exposure limits update with the FCC regulations, were done in 1996! Get the information out to the public so we can protect ourselves and have cell towers and antennae placed smartly and safely! Thank you for your time.

A healthcare provider describes patients' reported EMF sensitivity, cardiac and other symptoms, informal …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a health provider in Toronto Canada. I have seen a number of patients, who present with sensitivity in varying degrees, to EMF/RF. We ran some unscientific experiments and trackings, a few had recently bought new cars (with wifi readings around 2V) they suddenly developed a racing heart and feelings of anxiety and panic anytime they were in their car (heart rate at 150 +bpm), we had them drive other older cars and they were fine. Others had severe muscle twitches in their apt suddenly - violent and visible - when we investigated turned out the building added new access points thruout. One of my clients sadly ended her life (medically assisted dying) because she could not escape the towers, there is no longer any 'safe space', her skin would blister and she was unable to sleep because she would jolt awake as soon as she fell asleep, she described it as being connected to electrodes that someone just turned the dial up on. She had had a hip replacement years ago and another patient had a tennis injury that required rotator surgery with pins, a few others had knee replacements, I wonder if having hardware in the body increases the sensitivity to EMF, ages and sex varied. One client had her hair start to shed, very visible balding (she lived near 16 towers in Toronto), she moved to her small hometown in Alaska and never experienced it again. Thank you for looking into this. I suspect for every anecdotal letter you receive there are hundreds more that are suffering and 1. didnt know about this request for submission or 2. haven't made the connection to this invisible irritant (and people think you're crazy when you mention it could be the towers/wifi). Please do not let your time in office end without some change.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Wifi causes me to feel light headed, headachy and have heart palpitations. Even being around my phone is too much sometimes.. this is a slowly killing us. Read the book The invisible Rainbow. I have fought a cell tower near our home for a year. I cannot imagine how Verizon gets away with placing these death towers by residential homes. Crimes against humanity. They all need to be taken down.

Re: Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397 Public Comment on Electromagnetic Fields, Radiofrequency Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure I submit this comment as an individual consumer in response to Questions 3, 7–12, and 15–18. I have experienced fatigue, poor sleep, difficulty concentrating, nausea, palpitations, and skin tingling or burning. I am concerned about whether environmental exposures, including emissions from wireless technologies, could contribute to these symptoms. A preliminary review of public antenna-structure records identified 10 listed tower sites less than five miles from my home. Their current operating status, transmitting equipment, cellular tenants, and microwave dishes have not been independently verified. These records may also omit smaller installations. I have not established a causal relationship between RF exposure and my symptoms. Tower proximity alone cannot establish exposure levels or health effects. However, residents should have practical access to the information and independent measurements necessary to investigate their concerns. I request the following actions: 1. Independent research into realistic exposures. Fund rigorous studies of long-term, repeated, and combined exposures from mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters, wearable devices, wireless infrastructure, and occupational equipment. Evaluate frequency, intensity, modulation, duration, proximity, and simultaneous exposure to multiple sources. Clearly distinguish established effects, emerging findings, and unresolved questions. 2. A transparent review of exposure standards. Assess whether current limits adequately address available evidence concerning thermal and proposed nonthermal effects. Explain the standards’ scientific foundations, uncertainties, and applicability to children, pregnant people, workers, people with implanted medical devices, and other potentially sensitive populations. 3. Accessible community exposure measurements. Develop affordable, independent measurement programs for homes, schools, and workplaces. Measurements should account for multiple sources, indoor and outdoor conditions, and changes over time. Publish methods, instrument limitations, results, and comparisons with applicable standards. Explain what consumer RF meters can and cannot establish. 4. Meaningful disclosure of nearby infrastructure. Make current information about transmitting installations understandable and publicly accessible, including location, operator, equipment type, frequencies, authorized power, antenna height and orientation, and compliance assessments, subject to legitimate privacy and security protections. Distinguish registered structures from installed antennas and active transmitters. Where available, identify microwave links and their operating characteristics. Residents should not have to rely on incomplete directories to determine what equipment operates near their homes. 5. A national adverse-event reporting system. Create a straightforward process for individuals and clinicians to report suspected RF-related health effects. Collect standardized information on symptoms, timing, potential sources, exposure measurements, and relevant medical evaluations. Protect personal information and publish aggregate findings. Use reports to guide investigation without treating them as proof of causation. 6. Evidence-based clinical guidance. Help clinicians evaluate patients reporting symptoms they associate with RF exposure. Guidance should take symptoms seriously, investigate other possible medical and environmental causes, and explain the limitations of available diagnostic and exposure-assessment methods. 7. Strong research safeguards and practical public guidance. Disclose funding and financial conflicts, prioritize independent replication, and make publicly funded methods and data available where privacy permits. Apply consistent scientific scrutiny to findings reporting harm and findings reporting no harm. Provide practical guidance for reducing unnecessary exposure where appropriate, clearly explaining the evidence, uncertainties, and expected effects of each measure. HHS should publish the findings of this review, identify research priorities, and establish a timetable for follow-up. People experiencing unexplained symptoms deserve careful medical evaluation and credible answers. Communities deserve accurate infrastructure information, reliable exposure measurements, and public health decisions grounded in transparent, independent science.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
When ever I have my computer open and I sit in front of the laptop I feel my heart flutter and skip and it feels heavy in my chest. Almost like a panic attack We are hard connected at our home because we know the harmful effects of microwaves but when I have to use my computer airdrop photos. I feel that and it’s scary. I can also feel my hands buzz when I hold a phone while it’s on. I can feel it in my Head when I’m around all that emf and it makes My Heads hurt. You guys have to start accepting and acknowledging these harmful Effects not just to Han’s but to all living things around us. You can see the microwaves in the sky Your children and grandchildren will be inheriting this land and culture too. Think about that. You don’t need a scientist and a study to know something clearly is disruptive to our biology. It’s common sense you get to choose whether you want this on your conscientious. So many people are sick and getting cancer you cannot live in a fishbowl of polluted water, light and microwaves and think you will Be healthy. Please listen to each and everyone commenting and think about the world you want to live in too Thank you for your time with respect and Many Blessings Heidi

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 patient. I have been exposed to EMFs, RFs, and Wireless Radiation for years as a Police Dispatcher from the frequencies produced by the Centracom and multiple computers. I then was exposed at my current employer as the 5G Cell Tower sits right next to my building. I am suffering from Baroreflex Syndrome as my Baroreflex Receptors have been damaged from Radiation exposure. I now have dangerously low blood pressure that will spike at any moment. There is no cure for it. 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.

Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):I am involuntarily surrounded by all of the above all of the time. When I am out in public most people have cell phones bouncing signals in every direction. When I am at a school or other official building, I am surrounded by wireless signals. When I am at home, I am surrounded by smart meters (my own and my neighbour's). Almost all places now also have LED lights instead of incandescent. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:Headache, irritability, severe fatigue, brain-fog, heart pain, right leg and hip pain (router is near my leg). 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:In about 2020 the adverse health effects became strong and consistent. The roll out of 5G coincided with the symptoms. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?Yes. No physical reason was found for the symptoms. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?Yes. I hardwired my home technology and wear shungite jewellery. I also do NOT own or use a cell phone. Every light bulb in my house is incandescent instead of LED. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information: Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:It also affects my husband and daughter greatly.
