I am an individual consumer who started experiencing debilitating symptoms after the installation of a phone tower at about 250 meters from my home in 2021.
Early symptoms (2021) were brain fog, tinnitus, thyroid inflammation, extremely low blood pressure, instability, (2022) episodes of severe vertigo, sleep disturbances, visual disturbances, fatigue, memory loss, mental exhaustion.
(3) With time and observation I have been able to pair tinnitus, head buzz, visual disturbances and imbalance to the phone tower proximity.
Now, if I leave the house for a few days or more the head buzz, vertigo and instability go away, and the other symptoms ameliorate as well. As soon as I come back symptoms worsen.
GPS technology from the water smart meter was causing me vertigo and dizziness when I was close to it. After it was removed I didn't have any more episodes of that kind.
Bluetooth signal inside a car affects me the same way: extreme vertigo, dizziness, and also nervousness and irritability. Once the signal is deactivated the symptoms go away.
Near light bulbs or other sources of strong EMI I experience severe dizziness; I can’t tolerate noise or lights—not even the vibration created by my own voice—and I have to lie down in a dark silent room for at least an hour for the symptoms to subside partially.
Near electrical sources I experience more severe tinnitus and sudden momentary hearing loss, and instability.
Near Wi-Fi and cordless phones (less than 10 meters): tightness in the head and pain in the forehead, agitation and inability to concentrate, tightness in the eyes and neck.
Smart watches in the proximity cause me extreme low blood pressure, vision disturbances, agitation, headache, I have to lie down to avoid fainting.
Around electricity higher than 100 V/m or wifi: shakiness, tremors, uncontrollable nervousness, anxiety.
For more than a year I was not able to use or even look at my smart phone. If I was on a phone call I would feel a strong buzz in my head. Looking at the screen would make me dizzy.
If there’s a phone tower at less then 300 meters, Wi-Fi or electricity exceeding 10 V/m, I cannot fall asleep.
Before I understood that my problem was an EMF injury, I was always tired, always sleepy; I struggled to open my eyes in the morning and keep them open throughout the day. My brain felt like it was on fire; it could never “shut down.”
When using a laptop or smart phone I had trouble reading screens, at the beginning I even had trouble reading paper, I had difficulty seeing in general. My vision was blurry, and I had trouble understanding what was written.
I experienced weight loss as I was too tired to eat. I was often bed ridden.
I saw improvements after I started avoiding phones and computers and used a dirty electricity filter.
It took me more than a year to start using my phone again for a few seconds at a time. Phone radiation would make me dizzy and make tinnitus louder.
Now, almost 3 years after the onset of the symptoms, I always keep my phone on airplane mode with all the antennas turned off. I can only use it for a few minutes at a time, or I get dizzy and experience stronger tinnitus and momentary hearing loss. The proximity of the phone and radio towers still affect me greatly with constant tinnitus, hearing disturbances, fatigue, cognitive issues, sleep disturbances, blood pressure, occasional vertigo and disequilibrium and thyroid issues.
At the beginning I experienced severe cognitive decline and memory loss, to the point of being unable to even think about cooking or do any complex activity that involved thinking. Now it is better, but I am not like myself anymore.
I experienced and still experience fatigue and weakness and tinnitus as I live close to two phone towers that were installed in the last 4 years, and radio antennas.
Medical evaluations were always inconclusive. No doctor had the ability or knowledge or tools to assess my condition, although neurologists reported that my symptoms are increasingly common.
(5) Building Biology exposure limits guidelines and people adverse experiences should be taken into consideration when evaluating safety standards.
(9) Exposure related information should always and clearly be exposed to consumers, residents, workers, schools, Healthcare Providers and local governments regarding any type of radiation that people might be exposed to through products, devices, technology, infrastructures etc. This should be done consistently through mass media, and education.
(11) Any and all population should be informed and protected against exposure risks and everybody should have a right to be healthy and avoid radiation especially if sensitive.
Citizens should have the ability to easily and effectively oppose the installation of smart meters, and phone and radio towers in the proximity of their homes, work places, schools and hospitals.

Question 2.
While I have a background in Neuroscience (PhD) and Government Administration in Health Care, I am retired and these comments are submitted as a member of the Public who is sensitive to EMF.
Question 3
a. Mobile phone, Wi-Fi, wireless infrastructure
b. Daily- worse at night
c. Dizziness, vertigo, inner ear balance issues, earaches, acute episodes of tinnitus, sinus, fatigue, stiffness muscles and joints, headaches, sleep disturbances, breathlessness, dry cough, palpitations, tachycardia, chest pain, dry eyes, blurred vision, skin rashes, burning pain, memory issues, difficulty thinking- brain fog, pressure on head.
d. Symptoms began in Spring of 2020.
e. -
f. I no longer use a cell phone, turn Wi-Fi off at night, wear EMF protection clothing (e.g. HAVN). I purchased a 5G meter and tracked fields back to a local cell tower. House plants began dying, so I used meter to map out areas with lower field readings to change seating arrangements at home and stop plants from dying. Fields seem to accelerate mold growth and food spoilage. I got rid of newer, made in China, lamps and fans which had electric fields too high to measure. Everything has improved, health is slowly recovering, but symptoms are not completely eliminated.
Question 5
o. Electronic products, especially foreign-made in China, should be tested for EMF output before sold to consumers.
Question 10
c. Dying foliage around power lines and/or cell towers may be an indicator of levels that are too high. See attached photo.
Question 18
Would like to see studies on effect of EMF on cellular communication, mitochondria.
Establishment of EMF free zones for sensitive people.
It has been suggested that EMF causes mold to increase growth and mycotoxin production. My observation of food and/or plants molding overnight supports the idea of an effect on food spoilage.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My name is Carrie Perez. My children and I are adversely affected by wireless radiation. In the presence of wireless radiation, we often experience pressure in our eyes/heads, a buzzing feeling in our bodies, heart pain or palpitations, a feeling of being stressed/anxious, ringing in the ears, trouble sleeping, restlessness, difficulty focusing, dizziness, digestive upset, and even headaches, body aches and flu-like symptoms. The variety of the frequency, strength and pulse of the signal can affect the severity of the symptoms.
We have found that creating a ZERO RF HOME has removed the majority of these symptoms. We avoid high frequency environments as much as possible such as proximity to cell towers, places with strong Wi-Fi, and groups of people with active cell phones. Additionally, SMART METERS are a huge problem for us as they emit day & night and then do a "data dump" at 3 or 4am in the morning - waking us up as well as the majority of Americans. We purposefully choose to live where where the utility company allows us to "opt-out" of the smart opt-out and not be close to a neighbor with a communicating utility meter. Currently, we pay extra fees to "opt-out" of the smart meter. Additionally, the "opt-out" digital meter is still a horrible invasion of my privacy and creates dirty electricity (of which I have measured, before/after smart meter opt-out). To be clear, we are being FORCED to put technology on our homes that we do not want.
Injuries from radio frequency exposure is nothing new. But greed and convenience have usurped common sense. I urge HHS to refute the self-serving safety claims from the communication industry and prioritize our health. The human brain operates from 2Hz up to 30/40Hz. Frequencies far outside this natural range cause world-wide negative health consequences. This is basic science that anyone can understand.
I pray that humas who care will evaluate the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research and make meaningful changes.

I'm a Targeted Individual under heavy DEW fire for 6 years now. American born and raised, no criminal history, retired white woman. They divert tower frequencies using a dark web phone app and torture me day and night. There are other covert weapons used on me too. From my experience with the heart attack inducing weapons - the most severe hits - I believe this could be a contributing cause to all the Died Suddenly deaths. Covid jab victims get blood clots and then weaponry is used on them. Having clots, many succumb to stroke or heart attack. Coroners have reported roughly half of Died Suddenly deaths were from large clots and the other half from electrical cause. So they (deep state operatives and those they hire under them) hit me with this severe weapon anywhere from 1 - 8 times a month. Maximum sleep deprivation, even with faraday fabrics trying to protect me they use multiple ways to wake me many x per night every night. I live in my van. For the first 2 years, I slept in the front drivers seat so as to be ready to leave the area at a moments notice if a heart attack inducing weapon is used on me. After I got swollen legs I resorted to sleeping in back. I use mumetal to block the bigger hits. I get head hits multiple times per day. They are microwaving my left leg in the calf area - I had cellulitis last year and it took many months to recover. They set up 'relays' or 'transmitters' idk exactly what it's called but the perps can be elsewhere and shoot thru it at that angle. I have spent many days standing or sitting behind a big tree at a park because it was the only way to avoid the constant bombardment of frequencies. This is inhumane treatment. I believe emf frequencies are being used to make people sick and go to the doctor and get medicines. Look into ties to big pharma as well because when most people get chest pain or extreme fatigue they don't think 'oh I must have a weapon on me' no they just go to the doctor, get treated, doctors can't cure anything these days so it pretty much goes downhill from there. They are also DEW hitting my cats. Normally quiet, some of my cats will cry out for no apparent reason. Sometimes I was able to quickly pick them up and actually feel the wave of attack that was hitting them on my arm. I also believe ti's are being poisoned, but your question is harm from the towers. Attached are 3 pics of a very bright light on me possibly laser idk not sure. In one image you can see a green orb in the middle. In all images you can see that it's not sun reflection, the sun is behind and to the right. Third image is cropped closer. Some heart attack inducing weapons also show a very bright light as bright as 3 LED headlights rolled into 1. My heart is in much pain at the same time. I do get hit from "up" or satellites too but mostly foot perps in vehicles that they switch out often so that following me is not as obvious. There's so many. This is unknown. Not all attacks are satellite and as I live in my van my experience is attacks hourly from horizontal hits that can be traced to specific vehicles. My thoughts are the vast number of operatives under deep state fbi cia infragard etc is wanting to be kept really secret so that nobody is aware there is a large army already. I have suffered much damage to my pets and some died. I have suffered extreme fatigue, memory loss, damage to my heart and organs and they've started hitting my eyes. There's v2k, thefts, slander, noise campaigns just about everything mentioned on the Targeted Justice website has or is happening to me. We had internet before 5G, and it's not faster now. Birds are dying. Witnesses see them acting normal and poof they just fall over in an instant. 6G is going to be full bore weapons mode. The most recent strike I had was just last week I was BLASTED right THROUGH my heart. This is a different weapon than the others, possibly 4 now, and possibly 6G but again I'm not certain. But with everything going on that I've witnessed first hand and heard or read about, I believe it is definitely time to take the towers DOWN. Thank you for listening, God Bless, and thank you for all you do.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Purpose for Comment: I am a law abiding American citizen. The deterioration of my health is due to escalating daily subjection to lethal levels of RF/EMF Emissions and Exposure since June 2023 due to the US' TSDB handling code 3 nomination I was awarded.
Symptoms onset time: Usually starts evenings about 6pm through 3am/ 4am at home. I have moved three times since the onset of symptoms, that has not been a solution - it has only have gotten worse.
Symptoms: Sleep deprivation, excruciating joint pain - especially in hands and feet, throbbing and stabbing pain to entire spinal cord (feels like childbirth labor), brain fog, headaches, head swelling, cognitive confusion/unfocused, swollen and puffy eyes, blurred vision, vision and hair loss, brittle nails, nail ridges, extreme fatigue and malaise, muscle stiffness, muscle loss, weight gain, bloating, water retention, insulin and cortisol dysregulation, heart palpitations, increased heart rate and blood pressure, elevated body temperature and profuse perspiration while sleeping, memory loss, TMJ, around the clock teeth grinding which has caused teeth to wear and chip, loss of dental enamel. Skin: burning sensations on extremities which correlate with heart pain and palpitations, itching, tingling sensations, hyper pigmentation spots all over body, accelerated aging - most visible on face, deep wrinkles due to facial twitching, skin burning when showering. I also hear high and low pitched electrical humming in both ears at all times, and cricket like chirps sporadically. Unexplained viral symptoms that last 2-3 weeks, twice a year. The physical stress on my body has manifested in H. Zoster twice within two years.
Diagnosis: I have been to the ER five times over the past 2 years for what felt like heart attacks. Only diagnoses have been "chest pain" and most recently "fear of condition not demonstrated". I stopped seeking medical attention because of this, so I educate myself on ways I can physically protect myself within my means. The medical community is simply not educated and not held to any standards in receiving any education on "modern medicine". These conditions and symptoms do exist.
Impacts: My relationships, social life, enthusiasm, finances, and career have suffered greatly as a result of this program and RF/EMF exposure side effects.
- I ask that there be investigations into Congress-funded direct energy weapons deployed on American citizens, on American soil. Every agency and private entity involved in these programs have not been given my consent to deteriorate my health and induce this unbearable physical pain. These agencies and their stakeholders are not regulated. Any attempt to issue any new policies over RF/EMF Exposures will be futile until the purveyors of these technologies are given policies to follow of their own and be audited by OIG which has not happened in two decades.
- These technologies exist, these are not "emerging" technologies either. See attached file: Source: Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/Documents/Issues/Torture/Call/NGOs/VIACTECAnnex.pdf
-Assortment of Evidence: targetedjustice.com has done a great job compiling first hand sources that may be of interest to consider while drafting RF/EMF Emissions regulations. https://targetedjustice.com/key-evidence
Thank you for your attention to this critical matter and for the opportunity to share the horrific impacts of these rogue radiation/frequencies have on my life.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
People whether constituent or not, have a fundamental right to choice when it comes to how they power their lives and homes. Besides that, EMF exposure has been negatively impacting our communities for years. Psychological, cardiac, and electrical risks are only touching the surface. Please vote to reduce EMF as much as possible. MA 4 Safe Technology is a group in MA that holds educational and insightful seminars with many telling their stories. The "Smart Meter Opt Out" group on FB has a significant amount of testimonies also. Libraries in MA have already started including an EMF reader for their patrons, and things like EMF blocker hats, paint for walls, and EMF cages are only a few examples of how serious we take reducing EMF in our environment. Especially with children with developing brains, they are already so digitally in-tune, that schools had to start using devices for constant contact and assignments where they could easily get a book/paper. This starts the unhealthy cycle of EMF exposure. Not to mention the aesthetic impact that we complain about. I'm saying we because not only my family, but me going out of my way to participate in area groups on FB have also felt strongly regarding cell towers and smart meters.

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 parent, family member, and concerned member of the public.I have lived in my home since December 2002. At some point after that, a large cell tower was built just outside our neighborhood. There was no meeting, no notice, and no opportunity for residents to be heard. It felt as if it appeared overnight. We were not given a choice.After the tower went up, I began experiencing extreme headaches, a racing heart, ears popping and ringing, trouble sleeping, racing thoughts, and anxiety. Some days I feel very unwell, and I believe it is connected to the tower. My son and my father also get headaches. We have even had headaches at the same time.I do not believe this is safe. I am especially concerned that towers like this are placed next to neighborhoods and schools, where children and families live every day, without meaningful disclosure or consent. People should be told before infrastructure like this is sited so close to homes.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 expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health. 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. I also urge attention to siting, notice, and whether current limits adequately protect people living near wireless infrastructure.Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am very sensitive to EMF and very concerned about RF and wireless radiation. When working from home, I experience high anxiety and heart palpitations because my router was located in the same room that I was working in. Lost a day of work to move it to the garage. Now I have to limit my time in the garage. I have gone to great lengths to protect myself from radiation. Wired headphones, faraday enclosures on electronics, just to name a couple items. I live in a suburb with cell towers in close proximity to my residence and then of course there is the smart meter mounted to my home. Enough is Enough. PLEASE protect us from EMFs, RF and Wireless Radiation.

Before the
Federal Communications Commission
Washington, D.C. 20554
In the Matter of
Reassessment of Federal Communications ) ET Docket No. 13-84
Commission Radiofrequency Exposure )
Limits and Policies )
COMMENTS OF AUTHOR,
This filing provides comments from Sue Howard in the above-referenced proceeding. I am a member of the public concerned with the unaddressed potential health and environmental risks of radiofrequency (RF) radiation from wireless infrastructure and devices.
SUMMARY
I am an ordinary citizen, wife, and mother, who was seriously injured by wireless radiation and who now suffers from a debilitating chronic medical condition called EMR Syndrome.
ARGUMENT
It was an innate survival instinct which helped me to pack up and leave everyone and everything I had ever known and relocate from the harmful suburbs north of New York City to the welcoming safety of the ‘Radio Quiet Zone’ in Green Bank, West Virginia. Due to the ceaseless, undisciplined proliferation of wireless technology, I had by 2009 developed a dizzying array of debilitating medical symptoms; which included burning skin sensations, headaches, enervation, tinnitus, numbness in my extremities, impaired focal concentration, as well as cardiac arrhythmia. After numerous consultations with leading medical specialists, I was finally diagnosed with EMR Syndrome. https://www.emrsyndrome.org/ Today, though Wi-Fi and shedding electricity from poorly insulated power-lines remain a challenge, I am much better able to manage my symptoms and enjoy an enhanced quality of life in my new home of Green Bank. However, obtaining accessible medical care both now, and in the future, remains an exceptionally difficult concern and challenge. I am unable to use tele-health services and don’t know how I could survive a hospital stay, if one were necessary. EMR Syndrome is a lifelong functional impairment, and those of us who suffer with this condition still lack access to this basic human need. I am part of a team of concerned citizens who are working hard to protect the Quiet Zone. Due to the low- EMF environment in a 10 mile radius surrounding the Green Bank Telescope, we are currently the only remaining control group left for independent scientific studies. It is imperative that we protect this sacred space, which is constantly under threat, for future generations. For as we know, once it is gone, there will be no getting it back. https://protectnationalquietzone.org/
CONCLUSION
Accordingly, I strongly urge the Commission to, under the weight of the scientific evidence, find that the current RF exposure limits are insufficient to protect public health and the environment. They should be lowered to reflect the science previously disregarded by the
Commission.
Dated: September 30, 2026 Sincerely,
Sue Howard
