Power lines, wiring & solar

Perspective: Individual consumer and person reporting potential adverse health effects. Questions addressed: 3, 13(k), 16, and 18. I am submitting this comment because I want HHS to hear from people like me who are experiencing serious health problems associated with wireless technology, electromagnetic fields, and electrical exposure. My symptoms exploded after I purchased my Florida home in April 2023 and spent a week there. I have experienced burning skin, sharp head pains, fatigue, insomnia, difficulty thinking clearly, heart palpitations, tingling, numbness, worsening tinnitus, and vibrations in my legs when the HVAC runs. The vibrations stop when the system shuts off. I cannot tolerate Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and dirty electricity. I have made costly changes to my home to reduce same, including replacing appliances, changing lighting and wiring, using wired Ethernet, and rerouting HVAC lines through the garage. I am still struggling. I use a Greenwave meter to measure electrical noise in my home. My readings fluctuate, with approximately 400 mV on the low end and readings as high as 1212. Around 50 mV is what I can tolerate. I want better research into electrical noise and its possible health effects. When I purchased my home, a smart meter was installed. The meter was changed in May 2023. I requested a true analog electromechanical meter, but Florida Power & Light provided a digital meter it describes as non-communicating. My concern is not limited to wireless transmission; it also involves the digital and electronic nature of the meter. I have repeatedly provided FPL with medical documentation requesting an analog electromechanical meter, as recommended by my doctors. I even purchased one that FPL could inspect and install, taking the cost of obtaining the meter off FPL. I formally submitted an ADA disability accommodation request supported by my medical documentation. However, FPL denied my request without acknowledging or addressing it as a disability accommodation, responding instead as though I had made an ordinary customer request. Despite more than 20 attempts to resolve this matter, FPL has refused to provide the analog meter my doctors recommended. I also continue to pay a monthly fee for the non-communicating digital meter and its manual reading. What is especially discouraging is even after seeking medical help and repeatedly providing written recommendations, I feel my health concerns have not been taken seriously. It is hard not to feel that companies care more about revenue and policies than the health of the people affected. People reporting serious health problems deserve to be heard and treated with respect. I have spent more than $15,000 having mercury dental fillings removed in an effort to address my symptoms, but the symptoms persisted. I am desperate to understand what is happening and find relief. My condition also affects my family and others who do not experience what I do. They must sometimes change their lifestyles when around me. It is painful to struggle with my health while knowing that my circumstances affect the people I care about. I am severely affected by what I believe are wireless exposures and electrical pollution, and I am frightened by the toll this is taking on my health and my life. I ask HHS to support independent, thorough research into the potential health effects of radiofrequency radiation, electromagnetic fields, wireless devices, digital electrical equipment, and electrical noise. Research should consider people reporting symptoms in circumstances that may not affect everyone equally, as well as combined exposures in everyday environments. People deserve clear information about what is known, what remains uncertain, and how exposures are assessed. Practical alternatives, such as traditional analog electromechanical meters where feasible, should also be considered for people reporting serious difficulties with digital and wireless technologies. More needs to be brought to light about what people like me are experiencing. There are people suffering from serious symptoms who feel that no one acknowledges what is happening to them. Instead of having their concerns taken seriously and properly investigated, they are often dismissed or made to feel as though they are crazy. I know what it is like to struggle with these symptoms while trying to get someone to listen. We deserve to be heard, and our experiences deserve honest, independent scientific investigation. People should not have to prove beyond all doubt what is causing their suffering before anyone is willing to take them seriously. This has cost me my health, money, comfort, peace of mind, and the ability to safely live in my home. I ask HHS to listen, investigate and support research that provides honest answers based on good science. We should not have to wait for absolute certainty before our experiences are taken seriously.

Re: Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397, Request for Information on EMF/RF Exposure Question 2 (Perspective): I'm responding as an individual and family member. My husband and I are adults in our fifties who have dealt with RF exposure in our homes for many years. This response is based on our personal experience and our own measurements taken with a consumer RF meter. Question 3 (Experiences): a. Sources: wireless infrastructure (a small-cell node that was later replaced with a much larger unit), and rooftop solar systems on rental homes. b. Exposure: Over several years, we reduced RF in our Los Angeles bedroom to about 1 to 5 µW/m². Then the small-cell node outside our apartment was replaced with a unit about the size of a refrigerator. Our meter then read about 10,000 µW/m² in our living room and 30,000 µW/m² on our front step. In later rentals with rooftop solar, we measured very high readings in the bedroom. c/d. Health effects and timing: We both experienced increased inflammation, migraines and headaches, hormonal imbalance, trouble sleeping, fatigue, brain fog and difficulty concentrating, a persistent buzzing sensation and ringing in the ears, skin tingling or burning, heart palpitations, dizziness, irritability and anxiety, and joint and muscle aches. These began to ease once we reduced our bedroom exposure to 1 to 5 µW/m², and they returned after the larger node was installed. We now rent a home with rooftop solar panels, and all of these symptoms have come back. f. Steps to reduce exposure: While our bedroom stayed at 1 to 5 µW/m², we saw our health start to improve. Since the larger node went in, finding low-exposure housing has been a constant struggle, especially in the DC area. Question 5n (Regulatory changes): Exposure limits and siting rules should account for long-term, close-range residential exposure from infrastructure placed next to homes. That includes enforceable setbacks from bedrooms and living spaces. Question 9 (Disclosure): Residents should get advance public notice when wireless equipment near their homes is installed or upgraded. That notice should include the frequency bands and expected power levels. Rental listings should disclose nearby antennas and rooftop solar inverters. Question 15 (Infrastructure): Please study how small-cell deployments and their upgrades affect actual exposure inside nearby homes. In our case, one equipment swap raised the reading in our living room by thousands of times. Question 16 (Research priorities): Which frequency bands, signal types, and exposure levels are linked to harm. Practical, evidence-based ways for people to reduce their exposure at home. How people recover after exposure is reduced, and clinical guidance for doctors seeing patients who report these symptoms. Enforcement, meaning keeping bands found to be harmful out of residential areas. Thank you for considering this comment.

Lest Dirty Electricity (DE) be forgotten (Dr. Samuel Milham's book) My dad, a US Navy (1950 to 1959) mind control subject, was deliberately put in a high DE field for ten years, 1983 to 1993. This entire period, he suffered and died from a cancer in the upper palate of his mouth. This was deliberate, whether it was an experiment or not. They used an alternating current, analogue clock, positioned a few inches from his body, to generate the field. I have tested it and a few other small AC analogue clocks, and they all give off a strong, CONSTANT field of DE, as strong or stronger than anything else in the house. They tested it (or used it) on me as a child, too, but with only brief weekly contact. We were unwitting subjects. This is what they did. I don't expect you to believe me, but Dirty Electricity needs to be part of the discussion, as much as high band RF.

I bought a Rivian, an electric car in 2023. I drove it from Austin Texas to my home in Baytown, Texas. On the way home about an hour into the drive, I began to feel ill, like I was getting the flu. We had to stop to get charged about an hour from our home because the charge was not enough to go the entire distance even though on leaving it said it would be enough. As I sat in the car while it charged, I thought about how many people refused to live under power lines due to potential health problems and yet I was sitting directly in a vehicle with voltage flowing into it. In addition, there were 4 quad motors and a huge screen in the car. After making it home, I continued to feel ill. In addition to the flu like symptoms, my legs felt weak after getting out. After sleeping, the next morning, I felt better. I returned to my new car to show it off to be surprised by the sick feeling again. My daughter in law noticed that while driving and talking the pitch of our voices changed. I began feeling a subtle energy push against me while the car was moving. It wasn’t until I gave my dad who has a pacemaker defibrillator in, a ride I realized I had him in the biggest microwave ever. I ordered an EMF unit to determine the risk the car was posing to me and my fiance. Much to my dismay, the meter redlined out every measured frequency especially the EMF. It was redlined even when the car was off but in charge. I stopped driving the car and felt better for 5 days. On the 5th day, we drove the car to a dealership to trade it in. On the drive both myself and my Fiance felt the same symptoms and voiced them at the same time without previously discussing them in depth. We knew and could feel the negative effects it was having on our bodies. We traded the car in and took a $20,000.00 hit to get out of it. The cumulative effect of the EMF on our health was palpable and recorded. There should be warnings and longitudinal studies about cumulative effects of EMF for consumers.

I entered into a lease agreement to have a 5G tower built very near my home. My neighbors objected citing health concerns. I felt at the time they were probably jealous that they didn't get the lease on their farms.Fast forward 10 years and the utility company is proposing a massive 765kv/161kv powerline to be built in front of my home. I have researched myself the safety issues this would cause to my family. No precedent has been set or law made to restrict either of those to my home. But I do know that being sandwiched between the two would be dangerous. I know my circumstance is unique but in this country how could there not be setbacks from dwellings.

Question 3: I believe I developed breast cancer as the result of exposure to EMF at work and home. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001. At the time I had been working for over 4 years at a computer company which didn't have WiFi, but a large number of computers, printers and other devices plugged into outlets in small cubicles. Using a Microsurge meter (similar to an oscilloscope), I got a measurement of 2,000 G/S units from testing the outlet. At home I found measurements over 200 G/S units measuring the outlets with electronic devices such as my tv, computer, etc. To mitigate this exposure, I installed filters (capacitors) to reduce the G/S readings. I sought medical treatment for the breast cancer, and have kept the filters installed in my home. I have been cancer free for the past 25 years.

My name is Angelic Constantino. I began hearing and feeling my own harmonic vibrational frequency and eventually was able to feel and hear an infinite amount of others. I can tell the difference between organic and non-organic frequency. I can actually hear the frequency of 5G and more cause there’s more than that out there I can hear it coming out of my outlet so I can hear it from my coffee pot. I can hear it and feel it in MANY THINGS. one of the things that I feel the most is the TV and my telephone that’s why I usually set my telephone down when I’m using it. I can feel it going through my arm and literally hitting my organs. I can hear now and feel it now if I CHOOSE to. iI can also block it out. It used to make me sick give me h headaches but no longer cause I’m able to block it out with my own energy. It is really bad for the human body. It literally attacks every organ in the body.

As an attorney, I participated in litigation to oppose the placement of a High Voltage 765 KV Transmission Line across farmland and Native American territories in upstate New York in 1977. We presented evidence of harm from Canadian records where such lines already existed. The evidence showed genetic changes in farm animals and in farm vegetation, and increased cases of cancer in people who lived and worked close to the high voltage lines. The Court wrote a thorough opinion reviewing the evidence and concluded that the New York State Power Authority had to purchase a right of way twice as wide as the one they proposed, to minimize the expected harm to surrounding human and other life. AS a result of our experience, my husband and I have minimized our exposure to EMFs and WIFI and mobile phones as much as possible and will not live within sight of a medium or high voltage transmission line. As a wellness adviser in addition to my legal practice, I advise the same to my clients and have met a number of people who feel uneasy and hypersensitive around EMFs. Recent research continues to accumulate the same kind of results as we heard during that court case.

Thank you for the opportunity to leave a comment for the HHS.

We need stricter regulations and protections. The plant & tree growth is stunted in the radius of transmission lines and electrical infrastructure/installations. Radiation, EMF’s and RF’s are Effecting wildlife, woodlands and humans.

My name is Lloyd Burrell. I had a sudden reaction to my cell phone in 2002 and went on to experience debilitating symptoms for a number of years when in proximity to RF radiation devices, and also magnetic fields, electric fields and dirty electricity. My immediate symptoms: Prickly/tingling skin, on the side of the face I was using my cell phone I experienced a burning sensation, 'hot ear' and hot head. I also experienced headaches, dizziness, and sensitivity to light. Medium term symptoms: fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, depression. Long term symptoms: unexplainable weight loss and weight gain, leaky gut, aches and pains throughout my body, joint pain. I created a website in 2009 to share my experience, share the research and alert people of the dangers, see https://www.electricsense.com/ I created this page to share some of the research: https://www.electricsense.com/emf-scientific-research/? Since 2009 I have received 11,394 comments from people around the world sharing their EMF stories. I would be happy to share this information with you. Thank you for reading this. Lloyd Burrell
