Electromagnetic sensitivity

Yes I'm very sensitive to the Wi-Fi and I certainly I did this survey before but I wasn't sure if it was if you got it because now the library person here who's helping me can't seem to find the questions that I answered before now I guess you just want to comment well I'm this the last day of the survey and I'd like to say hi I see that now you are requiring comments and before we had surveys last week I did it and it was a survey with questions well regardless I'd like to say that it's very important that I keep my non-internet landline and very up in arms that AT&t will not fix mine on internet landline and I'm taking them to court because of this because I have great difficulty doing anything on digital devices anymore yes and it's important that we get FCC and new studies get done on safety studies regarding these phones because I just read that European Union has found evidence that children are getting higher radiation than adults with these devices and I certainly without a doubt see how they affect me and I definitely think that like non-inter like landlines should you stay and I want to be alert to any litigation involving this matter because I would like to get it an attorney to help represent me but if that isn't the case I'll represent myself because they took my ability of waiting to protect myself.

My experience with EHS: A life changed in 2025 In 2025, I became severely ill with what I identify as electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), following exposure to high levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and new electronic equipment. Before this, I already had asthma, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS). When EHS developed, I realised that my life might never be the same again. In Finland, patients have reported developing EHS after MCS. Professor Ville Valtonen, who has treated many patients with CIRS, has reportedly observed this progression in some of his patients. Having lived with MCS for many years, I had assumed that I would not develop EHS. I think my pre-existing conditions, including MCAS and CIRS, contributed to my vulnerability. Blood tests through a functional medicine doctor showed elevated arsenic levels. I initially developed nausea following heavy VOC exposure outside my home, but my symptoms also improved immediately after moving to a home with better indoor air quality. My deterioration was devastating. I became so nauseated that I could barely eat. I had to switch off the Wi-Fi, stop using electrical heating, and avoid electronic devices. For approximately a year, I could not tolerate even electric lighting. In fall 2025, I couldn’t look at a video without becoming nauseated, and phone use was limited to flight mode for one hour a day. Even my neighbours’ lights were disturbing, and at one point I could feel when they switched their lights on without looking. In spring 2026, I also began experiencing allergic reactions to candlelight. The prospect of spending the winter in darkness made me realise how urgently I needed to get better. Fortunately, there are ways to get better from EHS, and I can now use electric lighting. I was unable to work for a year, and obtaining financial support was extremely difficult. Despite being a highly qualified engineer who had paid substantial taxes throughout my career, I struggled to have my inability to work recognised. The lack of an accepted diagnosis, together with the way EHS is often perceived, made it difficult to explain my condition within the healthcare and social security systems. I feared that mentioning EHS would undermine my credibility because it is often regarded as a functional disorder rather than a disabling condition requiring appropriate assessment and support. Throughout this illness, I have continued to be a mother to two children. Yet the contrast with my previous life is enormous. Before becoming ill, I was a high-achieving engineer with ambitious career goals, an active social life, and numerous hobbies. The social consequences of EHS are also profound. It is difficult to navigate a society in which the condition is frequently ridiculed or dismissed. Beyond the physical limitations, patients face disbelief, inadequate support, and the risk of losing their careers and independence. These consequences deserve serious attention, regardless of the ongoing debate about the mechanisms underlying the condition. I urge HHS to take seriously the reported suffering and functional impairment of people who identify as having EHS. My experience raises several questions that deserve further investigation: Pre-existing conditions: Are people with MCS, MCAS, or a history of significant mould exposure more likely to report symptoms associated with electromagnetic fields or radiofrequency exposure? If so, what factors might explain this? Multiple environmental exposures: Could chemical exposures, indoor air quality, or other environmental stressors contribute to the onset or severity of symptoms that patients associate with EMF or RF exposure? How can these potential interactions be investigated? Individual differences: Why do some people report severe symptoms associated with wireless devices, electrical equipment, or lighting while others do not? What biological, environmental, or other factors might contribute to these differences?

EMF sensitivity is Real. I have had symptoms for years and even more so since new meters and antennas and wires have been going up. The ringing in my ears are constant and loud. I have vertigo, stomach issues, fatigue, muscle pain, insomnia. And others issues. . This needs to stop and now!

Please do something to help people diabled from these exposures! Please minimize exposure to everyone! Set limits that are realistic to not damage everyone. I have been electrically and chemically sensitive as well as sensitive to mold for many years. I can no t live in my home in town. I live primitive on a family farm. I can not be on line long at all. I fight many things and struggle to survive in everyday life. Wireless is everywhere and satellite everything its a mine field for people like me. Precision ag is one of the worst i fight. Farm equipment is wireless tech and satellite so when programmed to a field it’s miserable and a horrible exposure to me. Also the farmer if not finished will leave their equipment in the field on still drawing signal which keeps me from sleeping. It’s miserable torture. If its in an approximate one mile radius of me left on i have to go shut the madter battery disconnect off to kill signal. There should be a law that they cannot leave these unattended and on! Tracking of everything is murder to me. Semis mailtrucks garbage trucks you name it!

I am a person living in Luxemburg. These last years the quality of my life has changed quite a lot as I am sensitive to the electromagnetic radiations. When these radiations were quite low (3G for example) I could have a pleasant life but nowadays my body is aching most of the time : headaches, extreme nervosity with acceleration of my heart beats, unpleasant feelings in my mouth ( kind of electricity inside), feeling dizzy....Travelling is a nightmare even on buses as everybody uses a cell phone. Shopping , going out to a restaurant, a theater ...is unpleasant as public Wifi are on most of the time and everywhere. Even going to a medical center or a hospital is quite challenging for the same reasons. I am now retired but as a former teacher I can also say that it is unbearable to work in schools with all these new connected technologies! For all the people suffering as I do, I pray for a strict regulation that would help us find some relief in our everday life! Thank you for reading me.

Hello, I submitted two days ago but forgot to mention some more important information. I mentioned among many things, and apart from wireless radiation, but I also want to add that radar is difficult for us electrosensitive to live by for several kilometers, and electrical cables in the air and along houses since they are so full of spikes these dats from transformers etc etc... They should be either digged down or wired or shielded and better earthed. And also chargers for electric cars are impossible to live close to, even if living on the fourth floor opposite to them in the street. These also need to be better protected. And even 12-volts-fences are harmful for electrosensitive people and hence the animals probably.... And I noticed that the cable connection behind the television for the tv-antennas can also have really high voltage, according to my electrosmog meter. I had to unplug it, but still it emitted something from the antenna hole probably which gave me a headache. And the smart tv:s are awful. People don't know that they are like having a constant wifi / mobile antenna radiating from the television while sitting there like affected zombies for hours ... That is the inbuilt chromecaster that emit a lot of mw/M2, microtesla and voltage, even when the television is on standby. Incredible... And finally I don't understand why there is no climate discussion about the temperature rise that I am sure is also provoked by the mobile antennas. It's logical, since they emit really high microwaves, which like in a microwave oven heat up the water in our atmosphere. No wonder ut goes so fast now with the melting of the ice bergs ... Can't you just stop it, please!!!

Hello. I developed an allergy/hypersensitivity to electromagnetic radiation after sleeping for 1.5 years with a wireless router on the wall, directly beneath the head of my bed. However, several other factors contributed—such as stress, an electrical fault in an old PC at work, and spending hours talking on a mobile phone held against my head. I have now become an "environmental refugee," having moved deep into the woods to an abandoned hamlet—a place where I assumed the installation of further mobile masts would never be an issue. It was fine here, with sufficient mobile coverage at a level of 0.1 microwatts per square meter; but now, a 5G mast has appeared on a neighbor’s forested property, effectively turning me into an "indoor cat." If I need to spend any significant time outdoors, or drive out to run errands, I must wear radiation-protective clothing and carry three "Lifetune Zone Max Pro" protective discs. I know that approximately 1 microwatt per square meter is sufficient for mobile coverage, and that is my personal threshold for long-term exposure. I believe that sensitive individuals—as well as animals, insects, birds, plants, and seeds—deserve to have large areas of the planet where they can live in peace, free from electromagnetic pollution (which, these days, involves unnecessarily high levels of radiation). For instance, I once measured pulses of 120,000 micro watts per square meter in a public square in Oslo. Thank you for allowing me to share my opinion and a bit of my story!

To whom it may concern, My name is Ida, I am approximately 60 years of age, and I reside in Northern Italy. Some ten years ago, I discovered that I suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS). Needless to say, my life has been altered beyond recognition ever since. I have been compelled to turn my entire existence upside down, relinquishing both my employment and my former home, and relocating to an exceedingly secluded setting — quite literally, my home lies in the middle of the woods. And yet, notwithstanding these considerable sacrifices, since the onset of the first COVID-19 lockdown, my symptoms have gradually, but markedly, deteriorated, seemingly in response to successive increases in the permitted maximum levels of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure. Inflammation, chronic fatigue, depression, physical debility, insomnia, headaches, severe joint pain and skin eruptions, to name but a few, have either become considerably worse or emerged despite my never having suffered from them previously. I therefore appeal to your compassion and sense of responsibility: let us put a stop to this state of affairs. Let us ensure that countless individuals like myself, including those who are considerably younger, are spared further suffering as a result of what I can only regard as a deeply troubling state of affairs. I would also respectfully urge you to bear in mind that concerns surrounding EMF exposure extend beyond those who identify as electromagnetically hypersensitive. The absence of perceived symptoms should not, in itself, be taken as grounds for complacency, nor should anyone assume that they are somehow immune to potential adverse effects simply because they have yet to experience any discernible consequences. My own experience stands as a deeply personal testament to the profound impact that these circumstances have had upon my life. Please, let us take meaningful action whilst there is still time, rather than risk reaching a point at which the damage may prove irreversible. I am sincerely grateful to you for affording me the opportunity to share my testimony and to bring my personal experience to your attention. Yours faithfully,Ida

Studying the health effects of wireless (RF) radiation when so many people have complained that they experience health problems after a smart meter was installed at their home or a wireless antenna went up near their place (let alone against their will) should just be common sense. I as a concerned citizen find it scary that wireless technologies are proliferating rapidly yet the health effects of them are not being addressed by appropriate authorities. My family members all insist on using their cell phones and WiFi devices in close proximity to me, every group home where they house people with disabilities (some of which RF radiation may have caused their disabilities) I have been in has WiFi and does not offer cable/ethernet internet access in the residents’ bedrooms. One group home I looked into even keeps the WiFi router for the entire house in a resident’s bedroom! And yet, our agencies that regulate the radiofrequency spectrum have not addressed the health effects of wireless radiation. Please step up to the plate and study the health effects of RF radiation. I hope that this does not turn into a campaign to take electronic devices away from young people. The appropriate response to young people being exposed to RF radiation is the same as what you would do and recommend for adults: Educate young people about the risks of using wireless devices and how they can reduce these risks (e. g., by holding wireless devices as far away from one’s body as possible), and provide them hardwired connections to reduce their dependence on wireless devices for communication to begin with. And adopting “best practices” rules for the placement of infrastructure that produces RF radiation to balance the need for the public to have access to communications and communication devices with the need to keep our exposure to RF radiation to the minimum levels necessary and to protect people with EMR syndrome. Thank you for your time and attention to this issue.
