ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am very sensitive when exposed to all wierless tecnical gadgets, mobilephones, WiFi, Routers and similar things. I can only use wired technology for my dayly use of technology. These problems I have had for twelve years now and I have had to rearrange everything in our house without wireless technology. ee Visiting official areas like healthcare institutions is troublesome and takes several days to get back to a stable situation again. The symptoms are lack of centration, trembling, distant, mild headace and less sleep per night. The problems are constant, without meauserable variasions. These problems constrains my social life and are annoying. My contact with the Swedish Healthcare has not been able to give me the help I need to change my situation.

The commenter reports long-standing EMF sensitivity, an acoustic neuroma, hearing loss, severe insomnia, …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am responding as an individual: 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…) Mobile phones, cordless phones, WiFi, cell towers 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years): For at least the past 30 years. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced: Brain tumour (acoustic neuroma), hearing loss, severe insomnia, functional impairment, neurological issues. 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: The effects are immediate but it took years for me to make the connection. I've been sensitive to all EMFs since I was a teenager, and things got progressively worse as WiFi and cell towers were rolled out. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis? Yes, although largely ineffective, with it being attributed to 'nervous anxiety' and other psychosomatic issues. Ultimately diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma when things came to a head (mine!). 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects? Yes. When I discovered the tumour in 2009, I immediately gave up all wireless devices and moved to the countryside. This helped a lot, but a lot of damage had been done and it has taken many years for that to be repaired, although some aspects (eg deafness in right ear due to surgery) may never recover. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information: MRI showing acoustic neuroma, meter readings that always backed up my physical sensations after the fact, and letters from doctors attesting to my intolerance. 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 EMFs: I instantly feel wireless radiation as an intense pressure in my head, as well as dizziness, brain fog, disorientation... B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects: WiFi, cell phones, cell towers, cordless phones, magnetic fields B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you: All those I feel have an effect B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed: None B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):None, other than following a low-oxalate diet, which has helped hugely with sleep and general resilience. This is a common feature for many EMF-affected individuals as oxalate increases sensitivity to wireless radiation. Oxalate binds with minerals, pulling calcium out of bones and depositing in tissue, which greatly impacts EMF sensitivity. Vegetarians are increasingly affected, since only animal products have low/zero oxalate. B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless: I am generally sensitive to things, although I don't consider this a health condition, merely an enhanced awareness of things. B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant: Dietary issues (mostly relating to oxalate, which affects electrolytes, as mentioned above). B3. For each subquestion please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any) B3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure: Biggest improvement is from drastically reducing oxalate intake and following an almost-carnivore diet. Nothing else has helped in a measurable way. Meditation and neural reprogramming. B3b. That you recommend, but you’re not positive that they help: None B3c. That helped you but you don’t recommend. (e.g., the benefit did not last long or the side effects were too harmful): Almost everything I tried (countless therapies, supplements and remedies) before staring the low-oxalate diet. B3d. Treatments that had no effect: acupuncture, homeopathy, supplements B3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse: PEMF therapy B4. What is your age range? 65-74 B5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields? 2009, although I had issues long before this; I just hadn't made the connection. B6. What country, state, province, or major city were you living in when you first noticed your sensitivity to wireless or electromagnetic fields? Canada

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I AM EMF SENSTITIVE. I did not know this 12-15 years ago. Because my symptoms were 'vague' and I was not feeling well without any SOURCE to point to, the Doctors thought it was psychosomatic. And, my friends thought it was due to getting OLD. I had less energy, ringing in my ears, fatique, constant nose bleeds and headaches, and BRAIN FOG. INSOMNIA, Poor Eyesight. HEAT and SWELLING on my Right Forehead when USING my Ear Headset. This started when I UPGRADED my Cordless Phone to the HIGHEST RANGE on the Market, and also Bought a BLUETOOTH EAR HEADSET, which was also the STRONGEST RANGE and top of the Market. Then I went from WIRED Internet to WIFI, Because I thought it would be MORE CONVENIENT to have Internet over my large 1acre Property, anywhere I wanted to LOGIN MY TABLET, also the TOP OF RANGE and EXPENSE. Microwaves and my CELL CHARGING within 5ft of my DESK where I worked from Home. Within a FEW MONTHS of these 'UPGRADES' I could not FUNCTION as BEFORE, GENERAL MALAISE, with constant COLDS and FLUS. At the Time the Signal was 3G, then I bought My 4G Devices, and my SYMPTOMS got worse! Still NO CLUE what was MAKING ME SICK! Then I MOVED FROM MY HOME to a TOWNHOUSE less then 1 MILE AWAY from a CELL TOWER, and ALL MY SYMPTOMS got so Bad, that I COULD NOT GET OUT OF BED! I could NOt FUNCTION! At that time, I started learning about Electromagnetic Frequency and the RFR Sickness that other peoople were also EXPERIENCING. THAT IS WHEN I STARTED TO HEAL! I researched the PApers that Dr Martin Pall wrote about the 'Voltage Gated Calcium Ion Channels' I did one SIMPLE REMEDY. I UNPLUGGED!!!! I canceled my Home WIFI, Removd my Microwave, Stopped using the BLUETOOTH EarPiece, Went back to a ANALOG Phone, TURNED MY CELL PHONE OFF. and WIRED My Internet. Within a Few Weeks, my Symptoms LESSONED. The NoseBleeds completely STOPPED! The headaches only when I was UPSTAIRS at the Bedroom Facing the CELL TOWER. The Fatigue Lightened, my ENERGY Returned, and the BRAIN FOG that Felt like DEMENTIA, NOT NORMAL for a Young Person, Also went away. AFter Reading Dr. Carolyn Deans Research, I began Taking MAGNESIUM DAILY, sometimes 400 mg 3xDay. THEN my ENERGY and HEALTH returned!!!! I started learning about Fermented Foods that HEALED my Microbiome, because I was getting Sick so Often from the ElectroMagnetic Frequency POSOISONING. My Health and IMMUNITY Returned. I did NOT GET Sick Very Often! It has been 5 years that I've NOT BEEN SICK!!! Yes, I will get Symptoms from time to time, Especially when out in CROWDS, but I take Zinc, Vit C, and Elderbery for a Day or So, and I'm Well. The Biggest REMEDY to my Health was UNPLUGGING from the 5g Phones, Cordless Phone, BlueTooth HeadSet, and WIFI INTERNET. Going 'Wired' and Limiited Internet Use was my Discipline. My Family did NOT Understand, and was UNHAPPY that I did NOT VISIT their RFR Polluted Homes, but they SAW FIRSTHAND How Sick I got on my Visits, and they began to Understand. Though they STILL didn't BELIEVE that EMF SENSITIVTY is a 'Environmental Disease.' They, like the Doctors, think it is it JUST MY BODY, since the don't Experience what I do. It's been 15years now, and when I do visit they will TURN OFF the WIFI, or put a SHIELD in front of the ROUTER, so that I can sit AWAY from the Source and FEEL WELL to Visit with my Family in their WIFI Home. Now, I Drink Kombucha and Kefir, and Eat Kimchi, and REAL Fermented Pickles and Beets. I feel Well now. My Energy has Returned and I FEEL Young Again. My Skin an Body is not Aching like before. SIMPLE Life Changes for Health and Vitality!! The EPIDEMIC of UNWELLNESS in My Own Family is WideSpread, but NOW when I talk about HEALING EMF SENSITIVITIES they LISTEN! I want Secretary Kennedy to also LISTEN to the MANY others just like me.. This 'Sickness' is PREVENTABLE!!! Reduce Exposure to Radio Waves, and Cell Towers, DISTANCE from the RF Sources, and Keep DISCIPLINE to UNPLUGG to BE HEALTHY. Now, It is my Mission and Passion to TEACH People about EMF Sensitivity, and how to Strengthen their Microbiome. I learned from Teachers like Donna Gates, Donna Scwenk, Hannah Krum, who TAUGHT me how to make 'FOOD AS THY MEDICINE.' The World needs this Awareness for Healing. It is Possible to BE WELL! FIRST the AUTHORITIES must Acknowledge that EMF and RF is a External Health POLLUTION. Governement Agencies MUST Stop increasing 5G to 6G EXPOSURES!!! These RF Radiation are DANGEROUS and are SLOWLY KILLING People. MORE RESEARCH Please, and UPDATE the POOR TEST MODELS from 1950's and 1980's. Current Models are Drastically Needed to EXPOSE the TRUTH!!!! Thank you for Reading my Testimony. Respectfully Submitted, ~LV Hill

Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):I have reacted for 24 years, and had to move house because if it. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:chronic fatigue, memory loss, headaches, twitchy and cramping muscles, eye focus, pressure in my head, sleep problems, unable to concentrate at times, heart palpitations, dizziness, burning sensation, tinitus, tingling on my skin, bladder problems as if I have cystitis, lower immune system, weakness 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:Almost immediately. I very close to the university where they were developing the technology. The top of the building was suddenly covered with the emitters they put on the towers. Immediately when a wifi box was put into the house and cordless phone was also bought. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?Yes, the diagnosis was it was all in my head. Then I finally met a doctor who took my blood and looked at it under a microscope in his office and my blood cells were clumping together, not flowing freely as has been seen by many scientists studying exposure to EMF's. My blood look just like those discovered. by the scientists. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?Yes, moved house. Put ethernet cables throughout the house and corded phones. Don't use a mobile phone. It made a big difference to how I felt. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:Health risk from wireless? The debate is over. by Associate Prof. Olle Johansson and Associate Adj.

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:Digestive and gut problems, sensitivity to food, problems socializing with friends. travelling, staying in hotels, walking around cities, eating in restaurants. It has effected my life severly. I am very isolated now, where as I used to be a very much an extravert, visiting museums, art galleries etc but now I have to be very careful where I go, how long I can tolerate the environment before I need to return home and retreat to under my protective net. This has caused a lose of friends, and a lot of contact with people. Because it is invisible people don't believe that I am struggling to stay normal and lead a normal life. When I am somewhere that has no EMF's I am my oldself. But that is rare these days as they are determined to cover the whole world. B1a.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Health Impacts from Poorly Regulated RFR and the Studies Documenting Harm By Kelly Marcotulli I suffer from a physiological response to wireless technologies. This happens when I am in a strong wifi environment and if I stay too long near electromagnetic frequencies from standard electrical pulsations. I didn’t want to believe that my symptoms and suffering would be so clearly caused by such ubiquitous daily technologies but the facts have remained- I feel the intensity of pulsed electromagnetic waves. My symptoms are: insomnia, headache, increased and heightened tinnitus (ringing becomes more shrill), and an overall increase in anxiety. This study, Risks to Health and Well-Being From Radio-Frequency Radiation Emitted by Cell Phones and Other Wireless Devices, demonstrates the clear connection between RFR and my body’s reactions to those frequencies. “extensive review of numerous published studies confirms non-thermally induced biological effects or damage (e.g., oxidative stress, damaged DNA, gene and protein expression, breakdown of the blood-brain barrier) from exposure to RFR (63), as well as adverse (chronic) health effects from long-term exposure (64). Biological effects of typical population exposures to RFR are largely attributed to fluctuating electrical and magnetic fields (65–67). https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/public-health/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2019.00223/full Furthermore, this study out of Spain provides a causative relationship between my symptoms (cellular decay) and the RF frequencies my body was exposed to in the LAUSD schools I worked in. https://www.emfdata.org/en/studies/detail?id=949 “Irradiation affected selection of the death mode: apoptosis decreased or remained unchanged in cells subjected to any of the treatments, while necrosis increased in cells treated with CPS, LPS, or both for 48 h. The combination of RF-EMF and infectious agents reprogrammed the interaction between mitochondria/lysosomes/nitric oxide (NO)/cell death in macrophages in a time- and stimulus-dependent manner.” Radiofrequency fields at 2.45 GHz reprogram mitochondria–lysosome crosstalk and modulate the survival/death of macrophages exposed to LPS and/or the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein. To alleviate my reactions/illness, I have learned to prepare for a specific environment. For example, when I enter a restaurant, I use an EMF meter to find the areas of least radiation. My house is hard-wired with ethernet cables providing my internet connections and I use a landline to communicate. I do own a cell phone but it is kept in airplane mode or off most of the time. My friends and family know about my condition and they do not keep their phones on around me. I can’t attend stadium concerts, games and events where I know all phones will be pulsing their signals so, I don’t go. Luckily, I own my home and I am not subject to others’ wifi signals that would occur were I living in an apartment building. What about those who can’t afford a home and are forced to live in an unsafe environment? Sadly, I have come to believe that our government does not care about people like me. They care about the profits made by Telecom and they continue to deny that my sub-group has validity. Despite the studies that show harm, the FCC has just continued to allow more transmitters at higher frequencies to be developed. These higher frequencies (4G, 5G, 6G, 10G) are currently causing damage to plants and wildlife while the Federal government just looks the other way. I urge the FCC and HHS to take me and the thousands of us (could be millions, with symptoms blamed on the wrong cause), seriously. We are disabled and are often unable to participate in general society. Today, it is hard to find a safe place where there are no EMFs. This is why many escape into a forest, living off grid and on the edge. The small cell antennas now being deployed in every conceivable location- schools, office buildings, churches (shouldn’t they be sacred and safe places?), and on people’s homes make life impossible for those suffering from EMR-S (Electro Magnetic Syndrome). Please, take action now and prevent more suffering. Thank you, Kelly Marcotulli

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
1. & 2. I am responding as: an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters) mobile phones 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years): For almost two years, I could not be within 10 feet of a mobile phone without losing all my strength and having to lie down and pray for healing. That was after I became so ill in 2013 that I could not leave my safe home environment. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced: Loss of strength and energy. Inability to think. Inability to function. Inner shaking. Body felt like it was disintegrating. 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: The FM telecoil in the Church chapel caused me to feel weak and exhausted. I once sat at a desk in the Credit Union that was equipped with an FM telecoil for hearing impaired individuals. I was there only a few moments before realizing that something was seriously wrong. I got up and unsteadily, holding onto walls and furniture, walked to my car. Once seated, I felt as though my body was disintegrating and falling into my feet like sand. I prayed for help and rested until I was eventually able to return to the Credit Union where a friend offered me a ride home. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis? There was no medical diagnosis. My family doctor believed me, but could do nothing to help other than to encourage me to continue doing whatever I found helpful. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects? I was unable to leave the safety of my home and yard for 22 months. I used a home protection system that made the electricity in my home safe for me, and I obtained and wore devices that changed any harmful EMF that entered my home or yard from cell towers into harmless or beneficial energies. By eliminating exposure as much as possible, I gradually regained strength and energy, After 22 months, as long as I wore my protective devices, I could be away from my refuge for a few hours, provided that I was not in high EMF areas, including areas with underground wiring. My sensitivity remained until the Lord healed me. 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: Prior to being confined to my home for 22 months, I stayed in an apartment for a few days where a cordless phone handset broadcasting across my bedroom to the main phone in the living room made me extremely ill. The apartment was also surrounded by wifi that I could feel as I approached the entrance. B1a. Sources you experienced as causing you Adverse Effects: Magnets. Anything with batteries caused a precipitous drop in my energy. If I were too close to wifi or cell towers, I felt that my body was disintegrating. B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy): BEFE ( Bioelectric Field Enhancement); Ion Cleanse; Grander Living Water; Structured Water B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless: I believe that my EMF sensitivity was present from birth, and that it contributed to my history of severe allergies and extreme multiple chemical sensitivities. B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant: I am an empath, and have been sensitive to the energies of other people all my life. Being sensitive to essentially everything in our modern world, it took many years for me to realize that the radiation from electricity in buildings and cars was contributing to my health challenges. Once I had a home protection system in place and was isolated in my home, I gradually became stronger. That was when I realized that the electricity in my landline phone was killing me. I had to have the telephone wires completely removed. The only electricity I could tolerate was that which was modulated by my home protection system. B3. For each subquestion please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any) B3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure: Large amounts of B vitamins, magnesium, and other supplements in addition to nutrient dense organic food. Avoidance of all chemicals. Walking outside in my safe yard: Healing music. A Home Protection System was vitally important. Structured water was also essential. Faith in Heavenly Father and in my Saviour Jesus Christ is what kept me going until They healed me. B4. My age range? 65-74 B5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields? 2012 B6. Where were you living in when you first noticed your sensitivity to wireless or electromagnetic fields? British Columbia, Canada

Europeans for Safe Connections describes EHS-related disability and inadequate support, critiques heating…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Research shows that EHS affects up to 5% or more of the population, with approximately 0.65% experiencing such severe symptoms that participation in everyday social life becomes impossible. Despite the significant impact on those affected, adequate support, healthcare, and protection remain lacking. This is partly due to ongoing uncertainty among authorities regarding the causal relationship between exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and reported health effects. However, there is sufficient scientific evidence that NIR have non-thermal biological effects Exposure Standards and Risk Assessment Current exposure limits are designed to prevent excessive heating. However, people report experiencing effects from EMFs at exposure levels well below the official limits. Current official standards consider only the frequencies and intensity of NIR. Knowledge of the effects of specific EMF characteristics, such as modulation, and of long-term exposure is limited, and these factors are not taken into account. Yet they do matter. Many scientific studies do not clearly describe the characteristics of the EMFs used. Based on many years of experience, building biologists have drawn up practical guidelines When people with EHS adhere to these guidelines by avoiding and shielding themselves from sources of EMF, their symptoms disappear or are alleviated. The European Academy of Environmental Medicine (EUROPAEM) has also developed guidelines on EMFs based on scientific findings. EUROPAEM aims to provide preventive measures and protective strategies against the potential health risks of electromagnetic fields. We also would like to refer to the contribution uploaded by Else Nordhagen PhD on this subject: ‘Quality criteria for RF/EMF Health-Risk Assessments’. As attached Measuring Human Exposure and Public Health Surveillance Technical and exposure-related information should be disclosed, including the peak values. As the official standards presume only the heating of tissue and the mean values of NIR has importance, peak values are ignored, while many studies precisely clarify the great importance of these peak values and long-term exposure. Radiation levels vary constantly, especially when beamforming techniques, as used in 5G, are applied. These variations are so wide-ranging that measurement techniques need to be adapted. Exposure information is also needed to protect vulnerable people in public spaces, such as hospitals, medical facilities, nursing homes, daycare centers, and schools. Existing Evidence Much research has been done to establish the effects of NIR. Many scientists found adverse effects and several scientific appeals have been done in vain to the authorities to take this into account before applying new generations of wireless technologies. Many well-conducted scientific studies show adverse health effects, while others do not. See the uploaded files including Central and Eastern Europeanstudies, showing two fundamentally different approaches. When focussing on just studies using real life exposure, the results are convincing. However, in studies using sources with undefined characteristics or model of exposure, the results vary widely. Recognising the importance of applying real-life exposure with the true characteristics in this research might resolve the difference in opinion about the risks caused by NIR. This difference may also lead to the design of EMFs limiting or even without health consequences. In 2007 the Bio Initiative Report already mentions the importance of modulation for the biological impact of EMFs. Scientific studies mention the importance for biological effects of extreme and ultra-low-frequency components of EMFs. The official institutions responsible for assessing the health risks of NIR also regularly state that, if harmful effects occur, the mechanisms by which NIR affects organisms are unknown. Yet multiple replicated studies have found that NIR causes oxidative stress, which is considered in science to be a cause of many diseases. Federal Research Priorities Additional Information ALARA principle by design. The technical system should be designed to minimise the radiation levels, not to maximise the reach. Wireless applications should be minimised and preference should be given to wired solutions. Europeans for Safe Connections was founded in 2023 in response to inadequate protection against NIR (non-ionizing radiation) and the growing number of people suffering from electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). ESC is an umbrella organisation in Europe representing national organisations and individuals aware of the health risks of EMFs

The commenter discusses EMR syndrome and nonthermal mechanisms, requests independent research and precaut…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am writing as a concerned citizen to urge HHS to take seriously the growing body of evidence linking chronic, low-level exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields to measurable biological and health effects, including the condition now recognized as EMR Syndrome (Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome). Since the term was formally adopted in early 2025, awareness of this condition has grown rapidly, with an estimated 3–5% of the global population reporting symptoms ranging from headaches, insomnia, and cognitive impairment to heart palpitations, tinnitus, and neurological decline. These are not isolated or anecdotal complaints; they represent a pattern consistent with the peer-reviewed literature on non-thermal biological effects of EMR, including oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and disruption of calcium signaling. As the wireless environment becomes denser with 5G small cells, Wi-Fi 6/6E/7, IoT devices, and the coming deployment of 6G at millimeter and sub-terahertz frequencies, cumulative exposure is no longer a theoretical concern but a daily reality for millions of Americans. I respectfully request that HHS and the interagency community treat the coming 6G rollout as an opportunity to apply the precautionary principle rather than repeating the regulatory lag that allowed 5G to be deployed before adequate long-term safety data existed. Current FCC exposure limits were established in 1996 based solely on thermal effects and do not account for non-thermal mechanisms, pulsed or modulated signals, or the cumulative burden of multiple simultaneous sources. I urge the Department to (1) fund independent, long-term epidemiological and mechanistic research specifically addressing 6G frequency bands and signal characteristics, (2) review and, if warranted, lower current exposure limits to reflect the best available science, (3) require pre-deployment environmental and health impact assessments for new wireless infrastructure, and (4) provide clear, accessible public guidance on reducing personal EMF exposure in the interim. The health of the American public — and particularly children, whose developing tissues are most vulnerable — should not be an afterthought in the race to deploy the next generation of wireless technology. It is critical to understand what 6G actually is, because it is not simply a faster version of 5G. A defining architectural feature of 6G is Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC), which merges radar-style sensing and data transmission into a single radio front-end, waveform, and signal-processing chain. In practice, this means every 6G base station will simultaneously carry data and act as a radar probe — transmitting a dual-function waveform, then analyzing its reflections to detect, locate, and track objects in real time. Because the network is ultra-dense, with hundreds or thousands of access points per square mile, the result is a massive distributed radar system that can image the physical environment continuously, from street level to the upper atmosphere. On top of that sensing layer sits the Internet of Everything (IoE) — a paradigm that goes far beyond the Internet of Things by intelligently connecting people, processes, data, and physical objects into a single living system. In an IoE world, the network does not merely transmit packets; it perceives, reasons, and acts. It monitors air quality, tracks vehicle and pedestrian movement, manages energy grids in real time, and coordinates autonomous systems — all while bathing the population in a denser, more complex, and more persistent electromagnetic field than any previous generation of technology has produced. The combination of ISAC and IoE means that 6G will not be a network we use; it will be an ambient, always-on sensing and decision-making layer woven into the fabric of daily life. That is precisely why the health implications cannot be assessed after deployment. The exposure environment will be qualitatively different — more sources, more frequencies (including sub-terahertz bands with no prior human exposure history), more modulation complexity, and no meaningful "off" state. I respectfully insist that HHS treat this not as an incremental upgrade but as a fundamental shift in the human electromagnetic environment, and that the precautionary measures requested above be in place before the first 6G base station goes live.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am writing regarding the FCC’s response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ remand concerning its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. The Court directed the FCC to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination that its guidelines adequately protect humans against harmful effects of RF radiation unrelated to cancer. Specifically, the court required the FCC to address the impacts of RF radiation on children, the health implications of long-term exposure, the ubiquity of wireless devices and technological developments, impacts on the environment, and the adequacy of the FCC’s testing procedures for cell phones and other portable devices.
