Children & vulnerable groups

I am against the widespread use of excessive Wireless radiation exposure. Everywhere we go there are towers and too much exposure that is unhealthy to our children and to all of us. I personally know individuals who have been exposed be in the schools that used excessive WiFi connections or in all public places. We are not paying attention to the health hazards of brain fog, headaches. Unexplained weakness and pain and many other health problems . Please be concerned . I believe there will be an epidemic of issues associated with prolonged excessive exposure to EMF and RF and wireless exposure

Thank you for seeking public input on RF/EMF exposure and human health. I support a transparent, independent review of the scientific evidence, with particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations. I encourage HHS to prioritize the following: - Clearly distinguish established health effects from preliminary findings, inconsistent results, and unanswered questions. - Evaluate long-term exposure and realistic exposure patterns in homes, schools, workplaces, and communities. - Assess whether current safety standards adequately address children’s exposure and identify the evidence supporting any recommended changes. - Compare U.S. and international standards, explaining the scientific reasons for differences. - Support high-quality research with transparent methods, disclosure of funding sources, and independent replication. - Provide practical, affordable guidance for families and schools, including whether exposure-reduction measures offer demonstrated health benefits. Public guidance should explain both what the evidence shows and its limitations. It should avoid overstating either harm or safety and help people make informed decisions without unnecessary fear. The goal should be clear, accessible recommendations grounded in the strongest available evidence, alongside a concrete plan to address remaining research gaps.

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 my own experience as well as 2 of my children. For myself I suffered for almost 4 years before finally making the correlation of my symptoms with cell phone towers and boosters cities have put up. I noticed every time I drove through certain areas of our city I'd get what felt like an electric jolt go through my arms and I'd be left with relentless fatigue. I now have to avoid areas of my city where cell signals are boosted as my body immediately feels the unpleasant jolts. I live in constant paranoia driving around town and especially to other cities knowing I may get these electric jolts going through my arms and then left with horrible fatigue. Doctors do not know what to do with me, I was told by one physician to "just move out to the country" which is easier said than done especially when I'm dealing with 2 special needs kids at home who need services. Both of my special needs kids struggle with EMF's, it's very clear when they have had way too much exposure via at school, malls, city parks w/cell towers etc... My son gets extremely agitated very easily and becomes self-injurious as well as depressed. When my daughter is exposed to everyday EMF exposures her POTS/MCAS and Ehlers-Danlos all collide into a nightmare. She sweats horribly, she is overly stimulated and can't get her words out her energy goes way down to the point she can't stand, she has to sit and her dizzy spells leave her crying on the floor. She too also gets really depressed when EMF's are too high like her brother. We have had to spend so much money trying different devices and clothing that claims to repel EMF's but when it's a constant bombardment life is never enjoyable, we are just trying to survive each day. I am fearful for 6G being rolled out as I fear its may land one of my children in the hospital which is riddled with EMF's and what that could do to either of them and their already weakened bodies. We have no help, no support and nothing is regulated which HAS to change and not years from now, TODAY, PLEASE!!!

CORRECTION FOR SUBMISSION:mvg-z4t9-2e7l I am writing to your office as a consumer, patient, and caregiver to submit my personal testimony and request a formal review regarding the health impacts of high-power electromagnetic and radiation exposure. Throughout my time as a caregiver, I have documented a pattern of severe health crises within my family that intersect with environmental and technological factors: • Neurological Impact: I served as the primary caregiver for my mother, whose diagnosis of Alzheimer’s-Dementia was later identified as localized damage to the hippocampus. • Circulatory and Tissue Breakdown: At age 72, my father developed advanced gangrene in his heel, which I attribute to targeted microwave radiation exposure. My stepfather experienced a similar pathology, undergoing progressive amputations of his toe, foot, and leg before requiring dialysis. • Current Personal Health Risks: I am currently undergoing intensive care to prevent tissue breakdown and potential amputation of my right heel. To investigate these persistent symptoms, I have sought independent technical and medical evaluations over the last several decades: • Bioethical Testimony (2011): I previously presented testimony before the President's Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues in Washington, D.C., regarding unauthorized biological and technological interventions. • Investigative Body Scans (2014 & 2023): Independent scans reported anomalous data sources and semiconductors embedded across multiple biological systems, including my muscles, major bone groups, brain, and kidneys. • Clinical Diagnosis (2023): I was diagnosed with Havana Syndrome (Anomalous Health Incident), presenting with a chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI), vestibular dysfunction, hearing loss, and progressive vision problems. There has been joint diagnosis and nerve damage in my leg and feet, all contributed to the location of the nanotechnology. As a matter of public health safety and consumer protection, I wish to bring urgent attention to the regulatory standards governing wireless infrastructure, particularly in rural America: • High-Wattage Emissions: Many municipal cell towers utilize antennas operating at 300 Watts per antenna, which vastly exceeds the wattage necessary for standard telecommunications. • Vulnerable Populations: In rural communities such as my hometown in Tennessee, a high density of towers and antennas exposes residents to prolonged microwave radiation. There is an urgent need to investigate whether this exposure is driving misdiagnosed neurological damage, nerve injuries, and traumatic brain injuries in children ages 4 to 18. Performance at school might be labeled as behavioral or disinterest on the part of the child when a medical reason is the cause. Conclusion and Request for Action The Department of Health and Human Services has a vital duty to protect citizens from unauthorized environmental and biological hazards. Historical precedents, such as the bioethical findings regarding past unauthorized testing in Guatemala, underscore the necessity of rigorous, independent oversight when technology impacts human biology. It is important that all participants of federal funding be required to sign on the Common Rule and that IRBs are mandated without any exception. I urge you to please investigate the severe abuse to American civilians who are being attacked remotely on U.S. soil by directed energy weapons causing Anomalous Health Incidents and other serious and painful damage. I welcome the opportunity to share my detailed medical documentation, independent scans, and personal experiences with your office or at a Congressional hearing to advocate health safety, consumer ethics, human and Constitutional rights.

Question 2: Perspective My response represents the perspective of a family member and individual consumer. Question 3: Personal Experiences and Reported Potential Adverse Health Effects a. Types of wireless technology involved: Our family’s symptoms appear linked to mobile phones, Wi-Fi networks, and cellular service infrastructure. b. Nature, duration, frequency, and timing: Symptoms occur consistently in environments with active wireless radiation or during direct use of cellular devices. The effects are more pronounced with prolonged exposure (e.g., using a cellphone for more than two hours per day) or when in close proximity to high densities of devices. c. Potential adverse health effects: Child (Son): Frequently suffers from nosebleeds when exposed to Wi-Fi and cellular service for extended periods. This is especially severe during prolonged cellphone use. Adult (Wife): Experiences increased heart rate and cardiac irregularities (heart skipping a beat) when wireless radiation pulses (such as 5G) seem directed toward her device, or when multiple devices are active simultaneously. Adult (Self): Experiences tingling sensations in fingers when working on a cellphone using cellular data. d. Onset of symptoms: Symptoms typically appear after consistent exposure over time. e. Medical evaluation: We have observed these patterns firsthand within our household. f. Steps taken to reduce exposure: To manage these symptoms, we have implemented significant mitigations. I have stopped using cellular data for work, instead using only a LAN-connected cellphone. We have eliminated WiFi from our home, even though we work from home and run a business as well as hold down a corporate leadership job working from home. We have observed that minimizing exposure in this way helps reduce the frequency and severity of these reported symptoms. g. Supporting documentation and scientific context: We urge the Department to consider that these reported experiences align with concerns regarding non-thermal biological effects. We draw the Department’s attention to the extensive body of peer-reviewed and published studies on the biological effects of wireless radiation available via bioinitiative.org . Additionally, we emphasize the findings of the https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/research/topics/cellphones , which provide critical evidence regarding non-thermal risks that should be incorporated into federal health evaluations.

Severe migraines, body aches and pains , the 5G tower, that is connected on top of our town Water, children and teenagers been diagnosed with brain tumours( brain cancer) Clusters popping up , this year and two children living close under the tower , in the same area.

I am a concerned citizen who believes common sense should dictate research on every new installment of wifi towers,surveillance systems in schools,working environments and shopping establishment s.Its getting over utilized and we don't know how much electromagnetic exposure will effect us short term much less long term.Its COMMON SENSE to study the exposure. Stop putting profits before people. Thank-you.

My name is Heather Gallagher, and I am writing to you as a parent demanding immediate, modernized safety standards for wireless radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in school environments. Parents should not have to fight relentless, exhausting battles with school board districts and multi-billion-dollar telecommunications corporations simply to ensure that our children are safe from non-ionizing radiation exposure while attending public school. My teenager attended Casa Grande High School in Petaluma, California, where a massive industrial cell tower was operating directly on the school's athletic fields. Alarmingly, we discovered a heartbreaking cluster of young Physical Education teachers and athletic coaches from that school diagnosed with rare cancers. Distracted and deeply concerned, I hired a professional Building Biologist to conduct independent testing on the school ground. The measured radiation levels were shockingly high. Recognizing the severe risk to students and faculty, I worked tirelessly to educate our local school board on the biological science surrounding RF radiation. After reviewing the evidence, the school board voted to remove the tower. During this process, we uncovered an even more egregious outrage: T-Mobile had installed the tower illegally, having failed to secure the proper local permits. It took lengthy and arduous legal negotiations between the district and T-Mobile to undo this violation. Finally, after immense public pressure and community advocacy, the tower is scheduled to be taken down this November 2026. Following this ordeal, our school district passed a moratorium on new cell towers on school grounds. It is utterly ridiculous that a parent must act as a full-time advocate, investigator, and legal watchdog just to keep children safe at school—and unacceptable that telecommunications giants like T-Mobile can bypass municipal laws to erect unauthorized towers on campuses where children spend five days a week. The FCC’s current exposure guidelines are decades out of date, relying on obsolete thermal models that ignore an overwhelming and growing body of peer-reviewed scientific literature demonstrating non-thermal biological harm—particularly to developing children. Scientific Evidence on RF/EMF Exposure & Children's Health In September 2026, the International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF)—including renowned experts such as Dr. David Carpenter (University at Albany), Dr. Ronald Melnick (former NTP toxicologist and lead designer of the NIH cell phone study), and Dr. Joel Moskowitz (UC Berkeley)—issued a clear warning: “The current body of research provides sufficient evidence to warrant the adoption of policies that mitigate risk by reducing exposure. Research has reported biological effects from exposure to non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMFs) at levels well below current FCC, ICNIRP, and IEEE exposure limits. Studies have reported numerous adverse effects, including cancer, oxidative stress, genetic impacts, blood-brain barrier permeability, sperm damage, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, impairments in cognition, learning and memory, sleep impacts, EEG alterations, and other neurological effects.” Fetal & Early Gene Expression Disruptions: A 2025 Yale Medical School study (Cakir et al.) reported disrupted neurodevelopment and increased expression of autism-related genes in fetal-brain laboratory models exposed to BT/RF radiation at levels ~4,000 times below FCC exposure limits. Disproportionate RF Absorption in Children: Children absorb far more RF radiation than adults due to thinner skulls and unique tissue composition. Scientific modeling demonstrates absorption rates in children that are 2-fold greater in the cerebellum, 2–5-fold higher in the eyes, and up to 30-fold higher in the hippocampus. Lee & Choi (2023) modeled daily brain energy absorption from continuous cell tower exposure exceeding direct cell phone exposure by more than tenfold in young children. Studies consistently link prenatal/postnatal wireless exposure to developmental delays, lower cognitive scores, memory performance deficits, and behavioral issues in children. The FCC can no longer ignore this expanding body of peer-reviewed research. Protecting the health, safety, and developing brains of our children must take precedence over corporate convenience. I urge the FCC to: Update and lower RF radiation exposure limits to reflect current non-thermal biological research. Establish strict federal buffer zones banning industrial cell towers on or directly adjacent to K-12 school property. Enforce stringent legal penalties against telecom companies that erect unauthorized or improperly permitted infrastructure near sensitive populations.

After some time using my phone at night, I found a hard lump in my right breast. That would become painful from time to time. I couldn't figure out why, because I live pretty clean life (at least I try). And once a realized that usually when I use my phone at night it technically rest on my right breast because I lay on my side. And stopped doing that and within couple of weeks it was gone. And I wasn't sure if that truly was my phone. But when I had insomnia again and was using my phone next to my eight breast for some time, the lump came back. So I completely stop using my phone next to my breast and had no issues since. Also, just I am trying to minimize my phone time since there's clearly a correlation. I even noticed the days I wake up at night and can sleep and the second I grab my phone my daughter starts moving and getting upset in her sleep.

I have developed a persistent cough since I work in Phoenix, Maryland in the last 4 years. At times I have unexplained headaches and am a healthy person. I have had to be on various medicine without explanation what’s going on with my lungs and do think it’s related to the numerous towers with the 5G and 6G surrounding our office in the Manor Shopping Center there is 6 total. The shopping center is owned by a lawyer named Tritt Farley, I will be vacating my space intent in end of November unfortunately to not work near them. Manor Shopping Center 3421 Sweet Air Road Phoenix, Maryland 21131 Please research and it’s a wonderful area to test unfortunately next door immediately is Jacksonville elementary school. Hope it’s not affecting the kids Gratefully, Deborah Campbell
