Electromagnetic sensitivity

I have dealt with a variety of issues with EMF. For instance, I cannot wear a battery powered watch or it will make my wrist ache pretty badly. Cannot wear a cell phone on my body without it aching. So I don't do it. when I moved into this house I am in now, unknown to me there were some wiring errors that created stray current which led to high magnetic fields. I thought I was dying until a basic Trifield meter exposed the fields and I shut off the circuits involved. Slowly I started to recover my health. Electricians did not know how to fix this so I had to find out myself. Took a long time to fix the wiring errors. All electrical items worked properly but still we had the high magnetic fields. I wonder how many houses have this and don't know it. When I was a child a dentist put several large metal amalgam fillings in my molar teeth. I had no problems with those fillings until wifi and cell signals were everywhere. Then I had just a slight tingling in my jaw. It was noticeable. I also had a few crowns on my teeth which were porcelain on the visible side but metal underneath. I paid a lot of money to have all the metal removed from my mouth and replaced with ceramics. Guess what? No more tingling. The tingling indicated an interference from the wireless signals. Guess what? Lots of people have metal in their bodies. in their mouths, their joints, bone repairs, etc. It is an issue and is why you don't get a good cell signal in a metal building. The metal interferes and interacts with the cell and wifi signals. I am not (yet) hypersensitive to EMF or EMR however I realize I do have a certain sensitivity and could become hypersensitive. So I urge caution with Electromagnetic exposure. I have also paid a good bit of money to make my home a safe haven free from wifi, dirty electricity, etc. It is a constant game of vigilance to see what is going on even in my home. I have several meters just to protect myself. So yes I have spent a lot of money and time on this issue. What happens to those who don't have the money, the time or the ability to research and find out what is hurting them? Their lives are adversely affected. We do need protection from the harmful signals. Especially those close to the towers and other emitters such as wifi devices. These wifi devices do not need to be emitting so much and should all have an on off switch. Which reminds me I saw a wifi router with a switch to turn wifi off but when turned off my meter showed it was still emitting wifi signals. That should be unlawful. It is deceptive. Hopefully we will see some changes for the better. Thanks.

I suffer from electrosensitivity. I cannot work, visit restaurants, visit museums, do daily tasks of living. I suffer the contempt and hostility of those who are ignorant or misled by the government’s inaction and nonsupport for my condition. I hope you will institute public accommodations rules so that I may take part in normal life. Thank you.

Hello, I used to live in the Paris region. I worked with computers, and I lived in a lovely house with my husband and our two children. In 2013, I could no longer sleep. I was exhausted, I had tinnitus and severe headaches. I searched the internet using these keywords and discovered that I was ElectroHyperSensitive. I could no longer tolerate cell phone masts after the mast near my home was upgraded to 4G. At home, I switched off the Wi-Fi, got rid of the DECT phones, the Bluetooth keyboards and mice, and turned off my mobile phone. But my neighbors’ Wi-Fi was causing me pain, and as soon as I went outside, other people’s mobile phones became unbearable. So I left my job and left Paris. I moved to the countryside with my children, living in a mobile home on a friend’s land. Then a mast one kilometer away was upgraded to 4G+, and I had to flee again. Eventually, I found a house deep in the forest... and I feel well there. But as soon as I go outside, I suffer. So I have been confined to my house for 14 years because of EMR Syndrome. I no longer have access to medical care, I can no longer attend choir practice, I can no longer go to my children’s end-of-year performances, or attend parent-teacher meetings. This is no life.

I first want to say, thank you for opening the floor for us to speak on our experiences with EMF. I want to preface with I had never thought of myself as sensitive to EMFs. When people spoke of the dangers of EMF’s, my general attitude was that we just needed to build resilience to be able to handle the world. That was, until my body was no longer able to buffer its effects. It started with small things. My hands would ache when I’d hold my phone for too long — this often remedied when I’d get an EMF sticker for my phone. And then in 2021 I moved to an apartment complex in Arizona. For 4 years, I had increasingly concerning symptoms — but it took me almost 4 years to understand what it was. Extremely high EMF exposure — later confirmed on an EMF meter. After moving into this apartment, suddenly my tolerance for airports & travel went to zero. I soon after had my first panic attack on an airplane (I had been an avid traveler my entire life), and panic began to be the baseline from which my body lived. But I wasn’t mentally anxious, it was purely physiological. This led to extreme blood sugar swings, low blood pressure, muscle and bone pain, and debilitating neurological symptoms that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. When I’d go to hotels, I wouldn’t sleep and would be in a state of panic the whole night. I’d get in a Tesla and get dizzy and it felt like my whole body was being suffocated from the inside out. I would go to city centers and feel an immense sense of panic and have to immediately leave, I couldn’t make sense of what was happening. It was then, that I finally realized the common denominator — EMF exposure. And I’d finally concluded that the levels I was being exposed to in my home, took away any ability to buffer the outside world. Once I realized this, I sought out a low EMF home to test this theory. Overnight my symptoms went away. My blood sugar stabilized. My reactions calmed. I no longer struggle with airplanes and hotels. My body has slowly made its way back to normal. But I want to note, this was almost impossible to find. I searched every rental home in my city and almost every home had EMF levels equal to or greater than my original exposure. There were 5g towers on every corner. It felt almost impossible to escape. And for the average American, they don’t have the knowledge or resources to find a safe home — and as we continue to expand infrastructure, the odds of being able to find a home like mine — only go down. I work with clients around the country who all suffer from similar issues. Who are severely sensitive to EMF, can’t financially afford to escape it and spend their life savings trying to get better. We have to do better for our citizens. This is only going to get worse unless we make a concerted effort to stop it. And stop putting money and power ahead of the health of our people. Thank you.

I live in Canada. I am very sensitive and disabled by wireless frequencies, especially after a cell phone tower was placed behind my family's home in 2001. My three children became very sick with various symptoms that are well documented as typical with emf exposure. They were ages 4, 9 and 12. I became symptomatic approximately 1 year later. We had to abandon the home after a few years of torture, numerous meetings with the local councils, letters to the telecommunications company, Bell Aliant, letters and phone calls to Industry Canada. My requests to have the tower removed were eventually dismissed. The many council meetings were written up in the local papers. Many other people from our neighborhood and community attended these meetings and spoke at the meetings requesting the tower be removed. I became disabled and unable to work and remain so to this day. I am denied accomodation everywhere. I live a very isolated and lonely life. I was reduced to poverty, subjected to a moldy home for over 12 years as a result of the poverty and am now very sick fighting for my life to breath and do everyday things. I wish there was no wireless radiation. It should be against the law for the emissions to come through my home. I think those who say it is safe, are monsters. They are inhuman.

I am submitting a comment as a citizen concerned about the growing impact of exposure to wireless radiation has had on increasing numbers of people as the power of the wireless installations grows and their density increases. Some of the more recemt applicayions require even closer positioning of relay stations. While I have not been severely effected by this radiation I have been working with others who have been.Some need a wireless "faraday cage" of metallic garments to shelter from the radiation. It appears that the so called 'Electrically Sensitive' population are serving as the canary in th the coal mine for the rest of us. The history of human adaptation to increasing wireless technology was documented by Arthur Firstenberg in his book "The Invisible Rainbow." see page 368-375 for detailed experiemces t the time. When Cellular thelephone service was first rolled out in the major cities of the United States.In NewYork City, where cell phone service was initiated November 114,1996The Death rate accrding to the Center for Disease Control MMWR publication rose an average of 18% over the next 11 weeks, the highly electrically sensitive died off and the death rate returned to the previous level. This pattern of an increased death rate occurred in all tthe other cties.In San Diego on the West coast the death rate went up 15%for about 2 months starting in late November 1996.Los Angeles received cellular service in July 1997. The death rate for the next 9 weeks went up a whopping 57% over the comparable period in 1996. In Chicago began cellular service on Christmas 1996 and experienced an 11% increase in the death rate lastin about 10 weeks. Boston received limited PCS sevice in the fall of 1997 and full service January 1,1998. Boston had a 5% increase in the death rate beginning the end of October 1997 and 20% fot another 9 weeks. The FCC standards for exposure have to be updated and HHS should be responsible for setting standards, The FCC is concerned with engineering and the telecommunications industry is seen as its CLIENT not the citizens exposed to wireless radiation.

In 2010, when we were living in a 3g-4g world, I built a small 10x10 home office in a nook off my bedroom to do life coaching, writing, webinars, and interviews. Like many home offices, I had this tiny refuge filled with electronics such as dual monitors, desktop, Dect phone, wireless printer, cell phone, and WiFi router. Basically, I was in the office at least 6 to 8 hours/day and sleeping only 10 to 15 feet away from my office. In 2013 I started feeling extreme fatigue, headaches, brain fog, lethargy, aches/pains in the joints and pain all over my body. I would also get numbness in my hands when I would hold the cell phone. I have always been very healthy and never experienced these symptoms on a daily basis before. I started talking to people about my conditions and I met someone who told me my office was filled with EMF radiation and I should start shielding and protecting myself and my family. Once I started doing as she suggested I started feeling better and I was very thankful. Many of my symptoms went away except for my painful joints and numbness. I realized I had EHS so I started being very aware of my daily habits of using electronics wherever I would go. I did the best I could while eating healthier and adjusting my vitamins. Finally, in the beginning of April 2021, I started getting very bad symptoms. My brain fog heightened and I started having dexterity problems in my right hand. It got so bad I couldn't hold a pen or fork and my right leg started dragging a bit. When I admitted myself to the emergency room I was diagnosed with a very large brain tumor. The hospital admitted me right away and into surgery I went. When I came out I found out that I had a 6 cm stage 2 meningioma brain tumor because the biopsy report said that it grew at an 18% growth rate. When you do the math, that means it started growing in 2011 One year after I built my office! Most women get a stage 1 meningioma which grows VERY SLOW and from what I found out usually people who get this type of tumor are men over 60 (predominantly black men) and people surrounded by a lot of radiation. Unbeknownst to me I literally created a microwave oven in my office that I worked in and slept in day and night. Luckily, I am here to talk about this today. My surgeon told me that the tumor was extremely large and if I would have waited much longer the damage would have been severe and irreversible. I thank my lucky stars that I am here to talk about this today and help others when they hear my story. I have been speaking about both of our stories for over 11 years now and have built a small business around technology protection and awareness. Unfortunately, my first husband passed away at the age of 32 leaving me with my 1 year old son. Why is this important? Because he died of a Glioblastoma brain tumor and he was an electrician and I did find a study back in the 90's where electricians had the highest rate of Glio's than any other occupation and that was BEFORE we were surrounded by electronics and wireless tech everywhere. Sadly he is not here to tell his story so I am here to share both of ours. The citizens of the world are fooled because there is NOT enough studies and information to stop the biological damage and death that is being caused from our electronics and Wifi. Something must be done and the lies must stop in this trillion-dollar business because it is truly biological warfare and we must have due diligence with complete and proper studies so we can be protected as well as studies on electrical cars.

Submitted Oct 13, 2026 Comment submitted by Dr Karl Maret regarding Request for Information on EMFs, RF and Wireless Radiation Exposure and its Impact on Health published in the Federal Register Vol 91, No 181 dated September 21, 2026. I am offering my expert opinion on the current danger of wireless radiation in today’s increasingly radio frequency and microwave radiation environment including sources from cell towers and antennas, WiFi and wireless transmitters, wireless devices in the home and office environment, cell phones and other cordless phones, and wireless smart meters. These wireless transmitters typically operate at present between 800 Megahertz (MHz) and 5 Gigahertz GHz), with new devices now coming into use with the latest 5G technologies that are capable of operating between 2.4 and 95 GHz using very short wavelengths called millimeter waves. This comment is in response to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Request for Information on EMFs, RF and Wireless Radiation Exposure and its Impact on Health published in the Federal Register Vol 91, No 181 dated September 21, 2026. I have given expert testimony regarding the dangers of this type of radio frequency radiation (RFR) based on my background as an electrical engineer, biomedical engineer and medical doctor who has also completed also a post-doctoral fellowship in physiology and served as a Bioscience Officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. Details of my background and contact information can be found in the longer Word document attached to this comment. Since the 1996 Telecommunications Act that established the U.S. nation-wide cellular communications network, there have been essentially no new health protection standards implemented to protect the general population despite massive research studies showing evidence of harm to the general population. Especially problematic is Radio Frequency Radiation that comes from transmitters close to the body as well as high powered transmitters from cell towers and antennas, microwave transmitters covering schools, housing projects and apartment complexes where the transmitters are often hidden in ceilings and walls. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which is charged with protecting the public, has exposure standards that are principally suitable for short-term exposure and only those that concern heating or thermal effects while ignoring any long-term exposure and non-thermal effects that are now the norm. The widespread proliferation of this technology now in its 5th generation of development (5G), is viewed by hundreds of scientists throughout the world as hazardous to human welfare. The United States has one of the highest exposure guidelines in the developed world which is hundreds of times higher than permitted in other countries including China, Eastern European countries and Russia which have studied the long-term health effects of these RF radiations and chosen to protect their populations appropriately. We have known of the adverse health effects for at least five decades with thousands of studies demonstrating an increased incidence of brain tumors (gliomas, acoustic neuromas, glioblastomas and pituitary tumors) in addition to thyroid and parotid gland tumors. Breast cancers have been demonstrated in young women exactly at the multiple antenna sites who carried their cell phones inside their bras. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a division of the World Health Organization (WHO), has classified electromagnetic radiation as a Class 2B possible carcinogen in 2011 based on numerous scientific studies. My full comment and a brief summary of my past experience and qualifications are attached in the Word file attached as well as 2 PDFs of presentations that substantiate my concerns about the adverse health effects of long-term EMFs and the wireless radiation. I am writing this comment both as a past expert, a healthcare provider, and a very concerned living man who has observed great suffering from many electrosensitive people during 30 years of healthcare practice.

I have serious headaches around cell towers since my son went to kindergarten, where by their classroom, there are not one, but two, cell towers sitting right next to the kindergarten classroom, close to the children's playground. After dropping off my son there for a period of time, I started having headaches whenever I was at the playground waiting for him to go into the classroom. The headache would stay with me while I drove back home, and when I was home, the headache would almost be gone. When I tried to get to the cell towers to get some readings from an RF meter, my head hurt severely and I couldn't get any closer to the cell towers anymore. I got sensitivity to EMF whenever I'm close to some kind of radiation since then. Like when I went to a restaurant and I noticed my head hurts, I would turn around and found a smart TV right behind me. Or when I went to a friend's house/ clinic/ fast food chain/ wherever I go, and I noticed that my head hurt, I would find the Wifi router right above me/ very close to me, and sometimes even behind a wall. Since Wifi and cellphone technologies are getting more advanced, my head hurts a lot more frequently, even at home. I had to switch Internet Service Provider because my head hurts so much with the High-Speed 5G Internet, and opt for a slower one. I also have to set the Wifi band to 2.4 Ghz instead of 5 Ghz, and put it inside a metal box in order to reduce the Wifi radiation as much as possible. I have to turn off Wifi at night before I sleep, or else I'll have headaches all night. I can't control my neighbors' Wifi, but I can feel which part of the house has stronger signals with my headaches (and confirmed with a RF meter), and try to stay away from those areas if I could. Last but not least, I have a meningioma in my head, although it's calcified, it's continually growing, and the growth of the meningioma could be related to those increasingly strong exposures. Many scientific research studies had shown links to EMF/ RF exposure to brain tumors, which would be especially harmful to children. Attached with this comment are pictures of the cell towers in the elementary school (Knox Gifted Academy in Chandler, AZ), and pictures of my brain meningioma scans. The elementary school mentioned is part of Chandler Unified School District, and although quite a number of parents contacted the superintendent back then about the risks and harmful concerns on our children, they argued that there is no proof for these concerns, and they’re completely safe. I saw cell towers all over the district schools, and so are the other school districts in the valley. This is simply not the right thing to do for any school districts to put cell towers in their school grounds just for more funding. Even if there’s the slightest chance that these EMF infrastructures could harm the children, teachers and people around, this shouldn’t be done in the first place, let alone planting them all over school districts. I truly hope that with this nationwide request for collecting experiences and expertise from regular citizens and experts could help our country, the greatest in the world, to lead the world to do the right thing. The next step for the technology will be 6G, and it will only be more powerful and destructive to the human race at the same time. Please don’t repeat the mistake and harm done as 5G was enrolled, to race and chase after the fame of the world’s fastest to get to the technology, at the expense of the whole country’s health. We’re digging graves for ourselves and this would be irreversible. Thank you very much for “Making American Healthy Again”!!!
