Children & vulnerable groups

I urge HHS to prioritize the health of people, animals, and ecosystems when evaluating cellphone-tower radiofrequency emissions. As a parent and concerned member of the public, I support independent investigation of sustained exposure, prompt correction of exposures shown to be harmful, and research into safer transmission methods. My central proposal concerns the frequencies and transmission characteristics emitted by cellphone towers themselves. I ask HHS to investigate whether carefully defined changes in carrier frequency, modulation, power, antenna configuration, or operating schedules could reduce adverse biological effects. I also support rigorous investigation of proposed harmonic transmission methods for any measurable biological benefit. “Harmonic” expresses my aspiration for technology compatible with living systems; a healing claim must be demonstrated through independently replicated research. Please evaluate repeated and long-term exposure under realistic conditions, including exposure from multiple transmitters. Studies should document frequency, intensity, duration, peaks, and changes in network traffic. Measurements should represent homes, schools, childcare facilities, workplaces, farms, and wildlife habitats. Distance from a tower alone should not substitute for an exposure assessment. I request particular attention to children, pregnant people, workers with elevated exposure, and people with implanted medical devices, using evidence appropriate to each group. People reporting symptoms they associate with wireless environments deserve respectful medical evaluation and careful investigation. Reports should inform research without prematurely assuming or dismissing a causal connection. Animal findings warrant serious scrutiny. The National Toxicology Program reported heart schwannomas in male rats under its experimental RF exposure conditions. Falcioni and colleagues’ 2018 study of lifelong exposure to a 1.8 GHz GSM far field reported increased heart schwannomas in male rats at the highest exposure. These findings support further investigation; they do not directly establish the risk to humans living near modern towers. Human evidence, animal findings, and exposure differences should be evaluated transparently together. Ecological protection should be an explicit research priority. Please study relevant outcomes in pollinators, birds, livestock, plants, and aquatic organisms, including survival, reproduction, navigation, growth, and ecosystem function. Account for pesticides, habitat loss, artificial light, disease, weather, and other influences. Insect absorption models and bird electromagnetic-noise experiments raise specific research questions, but should not be generalized into proof that all cellular emissions harm wildlife. If credible evidence identifies harmful exposure, agencies should act to reduce it and verify that corrective measures work. Communities need accessible exposure reports, independent measurements, a clear complaint process, and timely explanations of findings. Research funding, conflicts of interest, methods, and negative results should be disclosed. Protective decisions should be accountable to evidence and public well-being. Proposed beneficial tower transmissions require equally rigorous evaluation. Researchers should specify the signal, compare it with matched conventional and sham exposures, control absorbed energy and temperature, and directly measure benefits and adverse effects. Any therapeutic application should undergo appropriate ethical and safety review before deployment. The research summarized in my accompanying document does not establish a tower frequency that heals people, animals, or water. My broader interest includes harmonious music, bells, singing bowls, prayer, and restorative environments. Music research supports benefits for selected outcomes such as pain and anxiety. These findings do not prove that musical frequencies carried by a wireless network make its RF emissions therapeutic. I also request fair, independent testing of hypotheses inspired by Masaru Emoto’s water-crystal work. Crystal appearance or changes in water spectra alone cannot demonstrate improved water quality, ecological restoration, or human healing. Please prioritize technology that serves life: investigate potential harm honestly, correct demonstrated problems, publish understandable evidence, and test promising alternatives without commercial pressure or predetermined conclusions. I support a responsible path toward safer, more biologically compatible communications infrastructure, including rigorous investigation of harmonic transmission proposals. My accompanying research document provides supporting sources, limitations, and detailed recommendations.

I am submitting these comments in two capacities: 1. As an individual: Based on my personal experience with Wi-Fi and my concerns regarding potential health effects associated with wireless radiation. 2. As a board member of The Civil Health Rights Movement May Day, Denmark: My comments also draw on a legal opinion obtained in 2019 concerning the deployment of 5G in Denmark. The legal opinion references numerous scientific studies. I have included its conclusion below and attached the full document for reference. 1) Individual consumer Question 3 Seven years ago, I spent approximately six hours a day working at my computer for about a week on a major project at my summer house. I had just received a new router (TP-Link) for my fiber net and was very happy that the whole set-up worked so well out in the middle of nowhere. I was writing on my computer and the Wi-Fi was on as I had to be in constant communication with several people all over the country, and I was well connected. Then after three days, I woke up with an overwhelming tinnitus and pressure headache. I wondered for a day why this had suddenly come and then I realized it was probably the radiation from the Wi-Fi. I managed to cut the Wi-Fi and get a cabled solution instead. After 4-5 hours in a Wi-Fi free environment and a walk by the beach, the tinnitus was gone and since then I have experienced the same on tests: 2-3 days in a Wi-Fi environment and the tinnitus and headache turns on. Now everything in my house is cabled. No medical doctor or medicine was involved. No measurements were done at the time. 2) Member of The Civil Health Rights Movement May Day, board member (Denmark) Question 12 and 18 I would like to draw attention to a legal opinion entitled LEGAL OPINION on Whether it would be in Contravention of Human Rights and Environmental Law to Establish the 5G System in Denmark obtained in 2019 by May Day and other stakeholders in Denmark. The opinion examines scientific studies relating to potential health and environmental effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation, including exposure within the limits recommended by ICNIRP. The conclusion of the legal opinion is reproduced below. The full document is attached as supporting material. “It is the conclusion of this legal opinion that establishing and activating a 5G-network, as it is currently described, would be in contravention of current human and environmental laws enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, EU regulations, and the Bern- and Bonn-conventions. The reason is the very significant body of scientific documentation available, showing that radio frequent electromagnetic radiation is harmful and dangerous to the health of humans (particularly children), animals and plants. This also applies when the radiation remains within the limits recommended by ICNIRP and currently used in Denmark as well as broadly within the EU.” Charlotte, Denmark

I offer this scientific paper provided by Dr. Martin Pall, PhD in 2019 titled; "5G Risk: The Scientific Perspective". Other than the scientific degradation of the human organism, the addictive physiological effects of screen addiction would compel a review of prohibiting this technology being provided to minors, especially males under 25 years of age before their brains are fully developed.

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.

To Whom It May Concern, 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 suffer (greatly) from all the wireless communication (EMFs) exposure. I suffer with terrible head pain, ringing in my ears (tinnitus), with a severe vibrational/tingling sensation in my mouth and face. Along with extreme fatigue and brain fog. So much so that I've been medically disabled with this condition (EHS). To the point that not only am I unable to find a "safe" work environment. But I am unable to find a "safe" living situation. Meaning, I've been living out of my vehicle for years constantly moving from one spot (which I can only tolerate for so long) to another spot. Non-stop 24 hours a day. It has now gotten to the point, thanks to all the newer, stronger and more harmful technologies that are being deployed, that I will have to leave the city (greater Seattle area) I've been living in for the past 40 years to some place out in the boonies. Essentially becoming a hermit and living "off the grid". Which in and of itself is a very unhealthy lifestyle. 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. Mark Donohue Edmonds WA

Hi I have RF exposure burns on my face and something inside me overlooked by everyone . Bio hacked human and ssi is calling it a bug trap and I'm used as a tool for Communication to humiliate me and make them the victim .. martins ferry Ohio Stefanie Dolenc and my son is affected as well Sage Dolenc Strunk

I am a parent who's kids were born in 1991, 1993, 1996 & 1998. My first 2 kids have severe mental disorders that keep them from being able to function in society. ADHD and Paranoia, Schizophrenia, addiction are the diagnosis. They were allowed to use internet devices as much as other kids their age. My youngest 2 adult kids suffer sleeplessness and compulsive internet use, also the heath issues associated with low sleep quality like irritability and anger outbursts, both of them spending up to 16 hours per day online after graduating school. Depression and non hodgkins lymphoma cancer almost took my youngest Sons life. He has to continue to be screened. I cannot sleep with a cell phone near me. I turn mine on airplane mode every night, and try to keep it several feet from my sleeping quarters but I worry that it's still receiving signal like scanning for wifi or something I don't know about, since warnings are NOT ISSUED.. I would much rather just have a good old rotary phone wired into my home. The distractions on online browsing and social media has eaten up HUNDREDS, MAYBE THOUSANDS (?) of hours of my Lifetime.. I only started using it in 2002 I think we need to move away from using a phone & wifi for EVERYTHING WE DO! It's not natural for kids to be sitting down obsessing on a browser or video game and making online friends instead of real life friends.. IT STUNTS THEIR EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL & MAYBE EVEN SPIRITUAL GROWTH. I am now raising a grandson who my adult child is not able to due to untreated mental disorders and addiction. He suffers from ADHD and struggles with the desire to engage in compulsive internet usage as well. He has fits of rage when he must stop even after hours of use.. THEY JUST CANT GET ENOUGH. There's also terrible MOOD SWINGS associated with having to stop playing or watching online video platforms. He has short attention span and highly distracted and distracting to others in the classroom at school. I have removed all gaming devices, tablet, phone etc so he can just focus on reality. ALL THIS JUNK IS DISTRACTING KIDS AND MAKING EDUCATION AN UPHILL BATTLE FOR PARENTS. ITS A WALL BETWEEN THEM AND THEIR EDUCATION AND REAL LIFE SOCIAL EXPERIENCES, RELATIONSHIPS AND BONDING WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS. Thank you for listening to my experience and my warnings.. the internet is disconnecting our youth from their true friends family and FUTURE.

When inside a computer store, I experience a disturbing wave like sensation through my head. I also experience headaches when near or passing cell towers. My teenage granddaughter complains of headaches in a classroom full of computers and fluorescent lights.

For too long EMF emitting technology has proliferated into society without proper understanding of its health effects on human and other living organisms. The big telecoms have lobbied hard to surprise any negative findings, and now we’re all living steeped in RF noise. Thank you for putting effort into this process. Please continue to find research that helps us all to understand (fairly) the effects of EMF on us and our children.

I have been electrically sensitive to emf/rf frequencies for over 20 years. Everywhere I go there is just more 5g, wi-fi and Bluetooth. We are saturated in wireless and our bodies were not made for this. It affects me in several ways: I have ADHD like symptoms when around wireless, I have tunnel vision when using Bluetooth and I get headaches & nausea as well. I think our standards are out dated and those that are sensitive are often mocked and looked down upon by those not sensitive. The only way I can gain much relief is through not using the technology which makes it difficult to function in today’s society. I worry about young children who are still growing with more soft tissue that the waves can penetrate. It’s far overdue for someone to ask for comment and I hope this time will be well spent and that standards can be raised and that independent research be conducted. Thank for your efforts!
