Environmental effects

'The number of studies showing adverse effects on living organisms induced by different types of man-made Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) has increased tremendously. Hundreds of peer reviewed published studies show a variety of effects, the most important being DNA damage which is linked to cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, reproductive declines etc. Those studies that are far more effective in showing effects employ real-life Mobile Telephony (MT) exposures emitted by commercially available mobile phones. The present review - of results published by my group from 2006 until 2016 - compares DNA fragmentation induced by six different EMFs on the same biological system - the oogenesis of Drosophila melanogaster - under identical conditions and procedures. Such a direct comparison between different EMFs - especially those employed in daily life - on the same biological endpoint, is very useful for drawing conclusions on their bioactivity, and novel. It shows that real MT EMFs are far more damaging than 50 Hz alternating magnetic field (MF) - similar or much stronger to those of power lines - or a pulsed electric field (PEF) found before to increase fertility. The MT EMFs were significantly more bioactive even for much shorter exposure durations than the other EMFs. Moreover, they were more damaging than previously tested cytotoxic agents like certain chemicals, starvation, dehydration. Individual parameters of the real MT EMFs like intensity, frequency, exposure duration, polarization, pulsing, modulation, are discussed in terms of their role in bioactivity. The crucial parameter for the intense bioactivity seems to be the extreme variability of the polarized MT signals, mainly due to the large unpredictable intensity changes. The number of published peer review studies showing DNA damage and related effects induced by Radio Frequency (RF)/microwave Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), especially by Mobile Telephony (MT) EMFs, on a variety of organisms/cell types under different experimental conditions is increased considerably in recent years [1–36], in spite of attempts to dispute some of them [37–39]. Specifically, the damage on reproductive cells of different animals found in several of the above studies explains other findings connecting microwave EMF exposure with insect, bird, and mammalian (including human) infertility [40–48], or reduction in bird and insect (especially bees) populations during the past 10–15 years [49–53]. The effects on DNA and reproduction reported by different labs on a variety of animals demonstrate a remarkable similarity. For example, Sharma and Kumar [47] found a large decrease in reproduction (egg laying) of bees after exposure to mobile phone radiation, which was identically observed before in fruit flies [15,16,41,42] and birds [49–51]. The recorded decreased reproduction is strongly corroborated by very similar effects in amphibians [54,55], rats [17,46], and human sperm [44]. This unique similarity of effects in different organisms found by different research groups can be explained by the observed cell death induction in reproductive cells due to DNA damage found for Drosophila ovarian cells [15,16], human sperm cells [22], mice and rat sperm cells [10,17], and chick embryos [36]. It is evident that such a similarity of findings is not a coincidence. It is important to note that the exposure levels in the majority of the above studies were below the officially accepted exposure limits [56] and only in a few of them [4–6,13] they were slightly exceeding these limits.'

insect-pollinated agriculture is about 35% of food crops and include nuts; microwave and cellular/wifi frequencies decrease insect reproduction rates and 5G additionally occurs at a millimeter and centimeter wavelength which can cook insects of that size (and cells) due to a resonance effect. 'A shift of 10% of the incident power density to frequencies above 6 GHz would lead to an increase in absorbed power between 3–370%. This could lead to changes in insect behaviour, physiology, and morphology over time due to an increase in body temperatures, from dielectric heating.' https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-22271-3 'Microwave radiation is known to kill insects and is already being used for insect control in stored grains and other foods. Studies in food and agriculture literature confirm this effect.

Hello, Let me start by saying that I am deeply concerned and flummoxed by the fact that the FCC has still not produced 1 single study on the deleterious effects on human and animal organisms re: EM/EMR from cell towers and Smart Meters, despite being told by congress 1-2 years ago, they must produce a study on the effects of EMF/EMR within one year!! How is it possible that this human harm continues to be sidestepped and swept under the rug? When 4G hit the market I was aware of the potential effects from EMF/EMR for "certain people" but I did not understand the cumulative effect which we now know, thanks to many global researchers on this topic, that ALL people and animals/insects are affected. Let me share some personal experiences. I was rushed to the ER after waking with a life-threatening heart arrhythmia (which occurred just days after a family member moved our router from 40 ft away from my bedroom to right next to my bed unbeknownst to me). I spent 3 days in the Critical Care Unit, with no history of this diagnosis and no other concomitant diagnosis that would explain this event or be considered a contributing factor. As a Registered Nurse of 29 years, I observed in the ER for more than 12 hrs, around 10 other patients wheeled right past my curtained room, listening to the EMT’s give the same diagnosis and history as mine for all these patients. They too were wondering what was going on. Then I recalled that I had heard that the 5G rollout in our area was due this month and silently wondered if there could be any connection. This was not a statistically insignificant observation, by any one's standards. Six years later, my life threatening arrhythmia returned within 24hrs of being in a new apartment. I took out my $400.00 EMF meter and saw that the level in the bedroom was 52X higher than the safe limits for humans, based on the building biologists.I sought counsel from MA For Safe Technology regarding mitigation steps and that was when I realized a new 5G Cell tower was literally only 0.3 miles from my apartment building. I followed their recommendations, and was never able to sleep in my bed or be in that bedroom due to the symptoms of arrhythmia, dizziness, fatigue and weakness that I began feeling, while living there. I slept on my cough for the entire 2 years. Then I began noticing that while standing in the lobby, within minutes I would begin to sweat profusely and begin to get very dizzy, enough that I had to return to my apartment. It wasn't until a few months later, that I realized that I was always standing under a Verizon ceiling router. Then over the course of several months, I started to hear that dogs on our floor were dying suddenly. In one year, on our 10 apartment floor, we lost 4 dogs and one cat.They were as young as 2 years old, with no prior medical history. My senior dog, with no prior history of cardiac issues,1 year into our stay there went into acute respiratory and cardiac arrest out of the blue, who I was able to bring back with CPR and then who was tragically was diagnosed with a malignant skin cancer and was gone 4 mos later. Four months after her passing, my other pup, her litter mate, who was incredibly healthy, also died within 6 weeks from different type of cancer, and then 4 mos after that, our perfectly healthy kitty succumbed from cancer. Three different types of cancers, for 3 different animals-who all died 4 mos apart. This brought the total to 5 family pet deaths on one floor and while there were pet deaths on the floor above us. My final comment is in regard to my ability to access well visit health care safely-which is absurd to even say, as I am a career Registered Nurse of 29 years. I went recently to see two providers that I have been seeing for 30 and 16 years respectively, in the same hospital. I had not been to see them in the last 5 years however and noticed as I immediately began to feel dizzy and chest discomfort within a few minutes of being in the hospitalk when I noticed that ceiling routers were placed no more than 4 ft apart down every hallway I walked through, and several in each doctor's office. I tried to put the maximum physical distance between myself and the visible routers but was unsuccessful, for the longer I am exposed to this radiation, the more progressive my symptoms become and true to form, after 1.5 hours, I went into my life threatening arrhythmia at my first appointment. PLEASE…STOP AND PAUSE and give this topic the due diligence it deserves because whether you see it now or later in your own family or friends, this RADIATION is effecting everyone even if YOU! If you are not taking action against this, then you are being complicit with this harmful technology to all of earth's inhabitants and to all of your future generations. cccc

'because these wavelengths travel only short distances, this system will need to use a dense network of fixed antennas outdoors every 300 meters as well as indoor systems, as the gigahertz radiation is blocked by buildings. ' 'In addition, there is convincing emerging scientific evidence causing great concern for the environment, with harm to mammals, insects and bacteria, prompting scientists around the world to call for a moratorium on 5G.' 'Major health concerns with exposure to 5G are to skin, eye and adverse systemic metabolic signaling through skin sensors, as well as heat effects. Some in Congress have seriously questioned the lack of independent research on 5G safety.' 'Current FCC standards are based only on heat effects for all telecommunications radiofrequencies and not biological effects seen with low level exposures that do not heat or burn tissues' https://mdsafetech.org/5g-telecommunications-science/ ' New research on heat effects of 5G, by (Neufeld and Kuster 2018), demonstrates that permanent tissue damage from heating may occur even after short exposures to 5G millimeter wave pulse trains, where repetitive pulses can cause rapid, localized heating. The scientists highlight an urgent need for new thermal safety exposure standards to update current guidelines which do not adequately prevent excessive heating from pulsed millimeter wave exposure.' 'It is notable that currently over 207 scientists and physicians who have researched the biological and health effects of radiofrequency radiation have signed the 5G appeal, calling for a moratorium on the use of 5G technologies until more research is conducted and proves the safety of this technology. '

Thank you for this opportunity to comment on this critical issue. The effect of these technologies should have been thoroughly studied before the world was blanketed in them, and those who failed in this regard should be held financially and criminally liable. Also please be sure to study the effects of these technologies on ALL life systems: all animals, plants, the air, water, soil, ecosystems, the atmosphere, biosphere, etc. Contrary to the massively funded advertising blitz, people have never clamored for these technologies and a thorough investigation should be conducted into the motives of the industry leaders and government representatives who conspired to force these rollouts without market demand or safety studies. What exactly is going on?

6 years ago I realized I was EMF sensitive, working with a doctor. Then I moved into an apartment building with the intention of leaving in 1 year, however I became too sick to make the move due to the high exposure. I am now exposed to multiple routers, smart phones with many people in the building. At one point I thought I was dying because my body was not strong enough to make it. I literally called my mother to say good bye. Now, I have to sleep in a faraday cage, use a earth frequency machine, wear shielding hats. I live in data center alley in Gainesville, VA. There is a 600 acre national forest 30 feet from the building and I have not seen a squirrel, birds or butterfly. If they can't survive, what impact does it have on us humans? Most importantly why people can't tell when they are exposed to higher EMF. My personal experience with symptoms due to higher exposure are: while driving, I get a stomach ache, my ears start ringing and my vision is affected if there is a tower close by. Stores also affect me seriously withing 10 minutes with the same type of symptoms. Often when I get home from being out of my protected environment, I get a noticeable increase of symptoms like tinnitus, stomach aches, muscle aches and heart palpitations. This has been such a tremendous burden on my health and life, that I literally have to break my lease and move somewhere without this high exposure so that I hopefully can regain my health.

My dad got cancer after a smart meter was installed on their house, on the bedroom wall, and my mom experiences symptoms as well since then. When I am near cell towers or am exposed to any EMF radiation, I experience severe headaches, which always eventually resolve once I create distance. My hands ache when my Bluetooth is on while I’m holding my phone, and I experience anxiety and headaches when Bluetooth is on in the car. I experience horrible sleep when our WiFi router is kept on, and even if that’s off, my sleep is disrupted if a phone is charging in the bedroom. My plants die if they are placed near the WiFi router, and since we have moved into a rental near a 5G tower, our sleep and health has been severely disrupted.

Since I was injured by wireless radiation radio-frequency exposures in 2014, and afterward diagnosed with the United Nations recognized functional impairment known as "EHS" or "EMS" (electro-hypersensitivity and electromagnetic sensitivity, what used to be called "microwave syndrome") I have lived an extremely marginalized and painful existence - suffered job loss, financial and emotional support (shunned socially), and home/property loss (having had to relocate multiple times at my own expense) all because of my physical reactions to these never-ending increasingly ubiquitous (with their introduction into our environments going largely unregulated and unchecked) manmade artificial electromagnetic fields, are extreme (migraines, heart irregularities, tremors, joint and muscle pain, insomnia, brain fog, etc.) and because these EMFs continue to encroach upon my world, shrinking the available safe places for me - where I can find reprieve, rest, enjoyment of the natural world, work, play, and live. For 12 years now I've fought to educate policy makers and the public about my condition (which at least 3% of Americans suffer with) and other ways the public is harmed by an industry that is basically self-regulated and has not done any real, relevant or recent safety tests on their products and clearly cares about profit over people, seeing any who suffer from these exposures as collateral damage. All for what? Supposed (perceived) convenience? We can use communications tech safely via wired options. We could prioritize protecting the public first, esp. the more vulnerable demographics (unborn babies, infants, children, women and others who absorb radiation more readily or are harmed more easily due to other medical conditions), over protecting industry profit. This is what the HHS should be doing and needs to be doing. We cannot possibly be continuing to argue about whether or not these fields harm us, there are tens of thousands of studies done over the past several decades proving this over and over again. (See EMF-portal.org for access to most of these, as well as a few recent studies attached). Not only are humans harmed, so too are animals of all kinds, plants, insects (particularly bees) and soil microbes. We are all interconnected and interdependent, so it matters that these other creatures are suffering. And it matters that the manufacturing of our wireless tech and all things "smart" is harming our natural world through exploitative mining practices and polluting manufacturing, which along with continued planned obsolescence is creating immense "e-waste" with no end to this in site, growing by the day, polluting our waterways and air with toxic heavy metals, and environmentally persistent forever chemicals. Please do the right thing and work to change policy to protect us from this exponentially rapidly increasing threat to public health. Thank you.

I am writing from south of Sweden. My experience beginning 2020 when they put up 2 mobiletowers 200 and 300meters from my home. I ve experience Vitreous detachment and flottets in my eyes and heartpulpatation on and of. 2022 they installd the smartmeter and then it became very bad. My cat got stressed and got problems whit the urin and hairloss on his stormatch. Then my small dog started to pi inside even when we just got in. I got eyemigraine 1-2 times a week and some days up to 3 times/day. More heartpulpatations on and off, toorhpressing, dizziness, stress and anxiety, tinnitus, problems whith koncentration and memory. 2026 they turn on the 5G in the area and the hole famely feels it and we feel it when we are out in the garden I have tryed to reduce it by painting inside and whit reducing fabric. It turned our lives up side down and I think we must sell the house. Maria, Sweden
