Environmental effects

I live smack dap in between the Canadian power lines which run part way through my property, and a T mobile cell tower which is approximately 45 feet off my side yard. When I moved here 14 years ago, I was fine. I was ok till the cell tower was put up. I fought that in town tooth and nail but it was put up anyway. I’ve had so much pain in my body ever since. I don’t have any documentation of this. I’m not one to see a dr very often for anything. My ears ring more often than not. I have constant brain fog. Please make it illegal to put these emf towers near residential properties. The trees and plants around the tower and my yard and property look sick. It’s worse every year.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a well-educated 69 year old female whose life has been very greatly impacted by my being disablingly sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. I live in the UK, where EHS (electrohypersensitivity) is a condition not recognised by the health service, to the point of there being no code available to allow the condition to be entered into my medical records. Nor is there any treatment or support available from the National Health Service. Exposure to radiation from mobile phones and Wi-Fi affect me the most, inducing nausea, extreme brain fog and overwhelming tiredness; I can feel any electrical current, even low voltage DC, and emfs from household circuitry and appliances affect me adversely. Technological "progress" is making daily living an increasing challenge. Finding any environment in which it is physically safe to work has become increasingly problematic, leading to long-term unemployment and its financial consequences. My social isolation has been extreme, resulting initially from my inability to participate because all social activities (employment, cultural, religious, educational, healthcare, travel, transport, shopping...) involve, these days, exposure to wifi, blutooth and mobile phones, etc. This led me to a lengthy period of severe depression and anxiety, which increased the isolation because often I have been too depressed even to talk with my remaining friends. Possibly the worst thing emotionally was discovering, as a result of EHS, how corrupted science has become; how extremely unkind so many people can be; and how many politicians claiming to care about inclusiveness and democracy don't give a damn about actual real people who are suffering. Dealing with the resulting disillusionment while also dealing with ill health and extreme isolation has been a transformative experience and my understanding of the world has changed. It looks a lot more corrupt and in the thrall of evil than I understood before. For instance I have seen scientists lose their jobs just for asking questions, or finding answers, which powerful industries want to suppress. I have seen the UK government run public consultations into EMF-related matters only to hide or ignore replies providing scientific evidence which calls into doubt the next money-spinning innovation which Big Tech has decided to impose on us whether we want (or can physically tolerate) it or not. I have witnessed legal challenges fail because the judge apparently couldn't understand science. I have watched the FCC simply ignore a court ruling ordering it to justify its position of denial of the biological effects of microwave radiation. I know of those for whom suffering from electrosensitivity has become a burden no longer endurable, so that they chose to end their lives. For those still determined to live, daily life becomes increasingly challenging. I have spent years trying to understand why emfs affect me as they do. Years reading scientific papers, increasing my understanding; hours formulating evidence only to find that those presently running the world are determined to dismiss the best presented evidence when it is unfavourable to their self-interest. I am watching the biosphere which supports life as we know it teeter on the edge of collapse, have seen the evidence of the role played in this collapse by, among other stressors, man-made, non-natural emfs, yet we continue to hurtle towards the edge. I could attach links to many hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific papers which demonstrate the biological effects of emfs. Instead, I invite you to read Arthur Firstenberg's "The Invisible Rainbow", which has an extensive bibliography. Or look at the Bioinitiative Report. Or the Freiburg Appeal. Go look at the website of the EM-Radiation Research Trust. Take a look at the papers suggested here: https://www.es-uk.info/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Selected%20ES%20and%20EHS%20studies.pdf Here's just one of many available papers demonstrating the irrelevance of ICNIRP's so-called safety standards: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12940-022-00900-9 And then, once you have absorbed what this small selection of scientific papers tells us, take a look at this little beauty, and ask yourself what it's like for anyone adversely impacted by emfs to live in a world where this is regarded as a trusted source of information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_hypersensitivity I am fed up with being told that the evidence is inconclusive. Exactly how much evidence is deemed conclusive? Who gets to decide? And what about the precautionary principle? Science is empirical: it begins with evidence. We, the electrosensitive, are evidence, and I for one have had more than enough of being ignored, gas-lit, and harmed by technology.

Wireless radiation is harmful to humans as well as to the ecological system.

I did not consent, nor do I consent today, to the continuous, involuntary exposure to biologically active RF radiation. My injury from radio frequency radiation began in the 2010s when millimeter scanners were used for airport security. When I had to go through one, I would be bedridden the entire next day because my body couldn’t function from the radiation exposure. In 2016 when a router at work was installed on the outer wall above my desk, I was disabled with heart palpitations, headaches, dizziness, nausea, the top of my head felt as it the sun was burning the top of my brain and my body was overwhelmed with feeling as if a weighted blanket had been thrown over me. The router had to be removed. When cell towers were built, they harmed me with stabbing pain through my head and neck, palpitations, headache and dizziness. I would have to alter my driving route to avoid them. Since the 2020s when their numbers were significantly increased, they are impossible to avoid. I have the same harmful symptoms when driving past them. On July 8, 2024 when smart meters were installed in my neighborhood, the harm from the pulse-modulated RF radiation (the worst kind) was great. I suffered debilitating harm. I immediately was impacted by the pulsed radiation with off kilter balance, body heaviness, whole body weakness, stabbing pain in temples, head squeezing sensation, weak thighs and hips with great pain so it was difficult to walk, palpitations, chest heaviness, headache and nausea, blood from sinuses, interrupted sleep, extreme tiredness, difficulty concentrating, tinnitus and worsening of tremor disease. https://www.americansforresponsibletech.org/_files/ugd/2cea04_bc6229ea88e040d98aa9bf2eced35134.pdf My home is no longer my safe sanctuary. I have no wireless devices in my home. Everything is hardwired. I have a cell phone which I only turn on and check once or twice a day. My home is invaded by the constant exposure to the radio frequency radiation and pulse-modulated RF radiation from smart meters, cell towers and neighbor’s routers. I used to walk through the neighborhood a lot for exercise. Now it is too harming to me with all of the smart meter radiation to do so. I have turned off all wireless controls in my vehicle. Travel is difficult due to cell towers everywhere. They cannot be avoided when driving. Hotels and vacation rentals have RF radiation devices in them and there are cell towers on or near the buildings. Airplanes are filled with radiation and seatmates use RF producing devices during flights. There are even shelves on airplane seatbacks for the RF devices to rest on behind the heads of the person sitting in front of it to expose them to device radiation. There is no escaping the harm and injury of radio frequency radiation and pulse-modulated RF radiation. My physicians have no remedy for me. My sister is also affected in the same ways. This submission represents her as well. Those of us with EMR syndrome are the canaries in the mine shaft. We become immediately injured from exposure to the radiation. That does not mean there is no harm to everyone else. All are exposed to unsafe levels of radiation from all wireless devices. Everyone’s health is injured by it. My quality of life and health have been tremendously harmed by the constant exposure to the radio frequency radiation and pulse-modulated RF radiation. There are untold numbers of us who live in constant disability and pain from the radio frequency radiation and pulse-modulated RF radiation. There needs to be ADA accommodations for those of us with EMR Syndrome. The exposure levels need to be dramatically reduced and there needs to be radio frequency radiation and pulse-modulated RF radiation free areas of the country for us to live in. EMR Syndrome is the easiest disability to reverse and heal. As you work to protect the health of all Americans, please reverse this disabling situation. Please support safe technology that allows us to communicate without harm to anyone. It has also been my observation that in the past several years with more cell towers erected in the area and smart meters installed, there are fewer and fewer birds and bees. https://www.bemri.org/publications/wildlife-and-plants/wildlife/1-birds-bees-and-mankind/file https://www.americansforresponsibletech.org/_files/ugd/2cea04_63cd657e2ebc493dbc3cf4a92044f2ba.pdf Thank you for your help. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. October 15, 2026.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding as a concerned parent, researcher, and member of the public. I personally have not noticed any effects from wireless radiation in its various forms, such as cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, 4G, and 5G. However, I have researched this topic and understand that the energies involved can impact not only human health but also the health of plants, animals, and insects. As a precaution, I have limited my use of these technologies. I find it surprising that these technologies were initially tested solely for their ability to heat human tissue. Is that true science, or just a means to advance harmful technology for the profit of large corporations at the expense of the public? Those who rushed this technology into production decades ago seemed to care little for the well-being of the people who would live and work near these radiation emitters. I have read numerous accounts of individuals who struggled with unexplained medical symptoms, only to discover that moving away from a cell phone tower or turning off wireless networks in their homes resolved all their issues. Additionally, there are firefighters who have sued due to health problems linked to these emitters at their fire stations. While this technology cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted, it can cause significant health problems. The power of these emitters has increased dramatically compared to when this technology was initially tested about 30 years ago. Can you imagine not testing products that emit large amounts of energy when held next to one’s head or against one’s body 24/7? We must bring this issue to light and conduct thorough testing on the effects of these technologies. Isn't this what the HHS is for? To study these subjects to protect the people? Isn't that what they are employed to do? I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I expect HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

Obviously, these signals are terrible for our health and the natural world. In my view, pollution of our planet is an act of war and constant radio signals, as powerful as they are, qualify.

We do not consent, we do not support wireless frequency. My personal experience reflects a better life experience in health, sleep when I unplug it for several days. This frequency is deleterious to health and well being, just as microwave frequency is terrible for your health and the hundreds of thousands of birds it kills yearly that fly under cell towers emitting destructive frequencies.

I refuse to have my family subjected to frequency weapons like the ones on nearly every tower in this country. This has to be stopped before life begins to be unsustainable on the surface. Our fruit trees and plant are struggling to grow because of the damage from these towers (among other things like spraying) and this has been proven time and time again I lab settings. We must go back to 4g and remove all nodes that dont directly pertain to a cell connection.

First, thank you HHS for the incredible transformation of the agency under the current leadership of Secretary Kennedy. It is with great pleasure that I track the enormous multitude of positive outcomes from regenerative farming, to mrna research to remedies for vaccine injury. In a world of increasing corruption, HHS is setting its sails in the right direction - that of true concern for public health. Thank you! I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. There is mounting evidence that exposure to these technologies affect US population negatively. If DARPA and the DOW can develop and deploy technology that uses electromagnetic pulse technology to harm or disable populations, the government MUST pay close attention to the consequences of a multitude of new electronic technologies and their effects, even if the negative effects are unintentional. I am Ally Whitney, Esq. and responding from the perspective of a concerned member of the public. As a well informed citizen, and attorney, I support people affected by wireless radiation and believe HHS should address this issue. I support HHS taking a very active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation and suggest a robust Office of Electronic Technology be opened to study these health outcomes. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. I also urge HHS with current evidence to ensure that there are appropriate policy recommendation that enable safe living and work environment for not only our human population but our natural resources as well. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard, and the support for their health that they truly deserve.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a [patient, parent, family member, caregiver, healthcare professional, researcher, advocate, concerned member of the public, or other]. The facts are in. There is no sugarcoating any of the human health issues, animal health issues and long term effects EMF and all associated fallout this will have on the future of our children, your children. Our grandchildren, your grandchildren. Is this what you want to leave behind? I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence.
