The commenter attributes serious personal, community and animal health problems to towers and smart meter…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
MY NEIGHBORS AND ANIMALS ARE DYING I am SICK. My family members have been SICK SINCE more than a hundred UNREGULATED TOWERS WENT LIVE over our community. This has been a challenge for me to get anyone to help in my community. I wanted to share my story in hopes of helping others. My story is one of many in Terrebonne Parish. After multiple (9) 300-foot 5G towers were put over our homes, four 300-foot 5G towers were put over my home and animal sanctuary, and four 300-foot towers were put over my office. At the same time, smart meters were put on my home, along with those of every other Entergy customer. I began getting sick, very sick. It began in my petting area with heart palpitations, headaches, vomiting, ringing in my ears, confusion, bleeding gums, insomnia, nightmares, dizziness, anxiety, ears buzzing 24 hours a day, severe fatigue, muscle weakness, and more. I have now been diagnosed with radiation syndrome / EHS (electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome) caused by extreme exposure to radiation. Many residents are experiencing similar symptoms. Countless children are now suffering. Being a very healthy person my whole life, this has been a life-changing situation. I am usually the one helping others; now I need your help. I never thought this could happen until I was forced to face it by becoming sick. I'm not sure where this illness will take me. However, I must do all I can to protect my family and my community. Seven neighbors on my street and friends have died after the towers went live over their homes. Many other residents are also sick. My community is surrounded by towers that have no regulatory testing information, nor does our planning department ask for it, citing the FCC's outdated RF radiation guidelines. I became certified in RF radiation testing. I now test the towers and smart meters. I can confirm that the EMF (electromagnetic frequency) / RF (radio frequency) radiation being emitted is extreme for every single product, tower, and smart device I have tested. It has been a fight to protect my family, my community, and myself, with EVERYONE CITING THE FCC'S OUTDATED RF RADIATION GUIDELINES. I had to learn all I could about this to protect my health and theirs. I've had to turn my home, where I have lived for 28 years, into an EMF-safe house (until I sell it), as well as my barn, which is surrounded by EMF material and protection. My bed is covered with EMF protection as well due to the radiation levels in my home. I now have to wear protective clothing all day. Leaving my safe area means becoming exposed due to the unbridled towers around me. I am a very private person. This is not easy to share, but if I do not ask for help now, many more innocent people will be sick, or they will die like my neighbors, my friends, and my animals. Since the towers went live, six of my horses have died instantly under the towers. All of my little animals have died. My 200-pound tortoises started going blind. I'm not sure where the daily radiation exposure will take me, so I thought now is the best time to ask for your help in making a change. THE FCC MUST REGULATE THE RADIATION, OR THE DEATH & DESTRUCTION WILL NEVER END. Technology is safe only if it is REGULATED. Always, Shari Champagne

The commenter attributes tinnitus and insomnia to continuous home Wi-Fi, reports improvement after reduci…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am an individual that has witnessed family members insisting we leave the house internet and Wi-Fi turned on 24/7 and they were in bed when a big cabinet glass suddenly literally shattered into pebble sized dangerous glass. We always would turn off the Wi-Fi in the evening until about noon the next day. This is because it caused tinnitus and insomnia. The family members are not living here anymore and the symptoms are better than when the Internet was on 24/7 daily. There needs to be current studies provided what is safe for all humans and animals.

The commenter urges a halt to wireless-network expansion and supports HHS assessment of health and enviro…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 parent, advocate and concerned member of the public. I have followed the implementation of wireless technology and the discussions around that for decades. I'm convinced that wireless radiation can be, and often is, harmful to various life forms. Please STOP expanding wireless networks. 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 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. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

The commenter recounts advocacy for residents of a low-income building with a rooftop 5G station, reports…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 concerned member of the public. Though I am one of the fortunate ones who is not electromagnetic sensitive, I advocted in front of the Loveland, CO, city council on behalf of residents of the "Artspace" building on 5th St. in downtown Loveland, who suffered and are still suffering greatly from the effects of a 5G base station placed on the roof of their building. People in the building got extremely sick and a number of them moved out. A woman right below the tower, developed cancer. Pets died. Neither the city, nor the building owner, refused to do anything about it. Fortunately, the ones who moved out recovered. Since it is a low-income building, many just did or do not have the means to move out and remain there suffering. Wireless radiation, especially 5G, does not align with the natural electromagnetic rate of the human body, therefore is just plain dangerous. I have taken a stand against this technology and gave up my cellphone in 2020. Unfortunately, the world we live in is built on wireless technology to a good extent right now, so we need the support of HHS and the FCC desperately. 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 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. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

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 and parent. There's evidence and regulations in Europe about EMF thus is paramount to start amending the causes and effects over humans health and general natural environment.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The Honey Bee says: STOP 5G - 5th Generation Wireless Technology Headline News The harmful effects of EMFs on nature are scientifically based and have been under-reported for over a decade. Here are just a few facts most people would like to know. • Technology is quite literally destroying nature. . . with electromagnetic radiation from power lines and cell towers. . . 5G could increase threat. Newsweek, 2018 • 180 scientists and doctors from 35 countries have signed a recommendation for a 5G moratorium. • 5G increases body temperature of insects. Pro Natura, 2019 • A $30 million US National Toxicology Program (NTP) study in 2018 found “clear evidence” that cell phone radiation is linked to cancer. • . . . unprecedented exposure interferes with the natural functioning of humans, animals, and plants. Dr. Ulrich Warnke: Bees and Mankind: Destroying Nature by ‘Electrosmog’, 2009 • “Birds disappearing mysteriously. . . bees under threat. . . . increasing evidence EMF pollution such as cell towers, cell phones, cordless phones and wifi is a factor.” Dr. Andrew Goldsworthy, 2009 The Birds, the Bees and EMF Pollution • EMFs can cause cancer. (Hardell and Carlberg, 2018) (Soffritti, 2016) (Peleg, 2018) • Electromagnetic Fields A ‘Credible Threat’ To Wildlife Joel M. Moskowitz, Ph.D., Principia Scientific International, 2018 • “Due to electromagnetic smog, honeybees are often unable to return to their hives (Harst et al., 2006; Favre, 2011; Sharma & Kumar 2010; Sahib, 2011), the resulting massive loss of workers thenleads to a colony collapse (e.g. Harst et al. 2006; Sharma a nd Kumar 2010), which is why electromagnetic radiation has been suggested as one potential cause of colony collapse disorder (CCD) (e.g. Warnke 2009; Sahib 2011)” Journal of Insect Conservation (Lázaro et al, 2016) • Radiation impacts on wild birds documented nest abandonment, plumage deterioration and death. Lab studies of chick embryos documented heart attacks and death. (Al Manville PhD USFWS, 2016) • EMFs evoke aversive behavior, developmental anomalies and mortality in studied animal groups.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
EMF'S are lethal to all living things. My son developed a deadly heart condition from the WiFi at his school. So did other students. The bee population is dieing off from exposure. So is other animals, birds, fish, trees and other insects. The only logical thing to do is to turn back the clock and remove it completely. We were fine with out it!

An engineer argues that digital radiation and AI products lack adequate legal safety documentation, calls…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I´m a serious engineer, product developer from Sweden, Europe. Now living in US. I also have 15 years of experience in compiling technical documentation for manufactured products. The radiation that operates with digital products is against our product laws. We cannot ensure the technology as safe for life, health, environment. Due to this, there is no valid, legal technical documentation for either AI or digital radiation technology. When there is no legal technical documentation, we do not know what makes us sick. Doctors cannot provide adequate care for the injured. We know that radiation is harmful, but we hide it because many users abuse the technology for their own gain. We who design, construct products are often good at drawing. When we use images for technical documentation, we use photos or our own illustrations. Radiation technology and AI are deadly in the hands of countries without knowledge. We cannot have drones and flying missiles across national borders. TIME TO UNCOVER THE FRAUD. The Technical Documentation is often secret or unavailable. Even if a journalist, doctor would like to review the technical documentation, much of it is trade secrets. Manufacturers are required by law to keep the technical manufacturing documentation available to authorities for ten years, but they are under no obligation to release it to journalists or the public. Without access to the development process, a review becomes impossible. The exception: Investigative journalism and whistleblowers. However, there are times when journalists actually do this. This happens primarily in investigative journalism when a whistleblower leaks internal documents, test protocols or risk analyses that show that a company is hiding deficiencies, shortcomings. In those cases, journalists can enlist the help of independent external experts to decipher the documentation and reveal that a product violates product laws. PRODUCTS THAT ARE NOT APPROVED FOR INTERNATIONAL USE. THAT ARE NOT DIRECTLY INTENDED FOR THE USER AND END USER. International law, human rights, Who takes responsibility? Does a Government believe that manufacturers can have responsibility for human rights? To cooperate in this way so that individuals affected by a company's manufactured products are not deprived of, for example, life and health? In international laws, human rights are the responsibility of countries, they have agreed to implement international, national rules. These rights exist for all of us and their ultimate purpose is to protect us individuals from our own governments, authorities and from each other. But companies, what responsibility do they have? How long will it take before unfriendly governments start saying “not us, but the companies are responsible”. What then happens to international law itself and the rights that exist? TECH DOC. CODE OF HONOR. THE TEN PRINCIPLES. THE ENGINEER, THE PRODUCT DEVELOPER. THE ONE WHO CONSTRUCTS THE TOOLS AS A NECESSARY NEED. Engineers, product developers in their professional capacity must feel personally responsible for technology being used in a manner that benefits humanity, the environment and society. Engineers, product developers must strive to improve technology and technological knowledge so as to achieve more efficient use of resources without harmful effects. Engineers, product developers must offer their knowledge in both public and private contexts so as to ensure the best possible basis for decisions and to illuminate both the opportunities and the risks associated with technology. Engineers, product developers should not work for or cooperate with companies and organisations of a questionable nature or with objectives that conflict with personal beliefs. Engineers, product developers must show complete loyalty to employers and colleagues. Difficulties in this respect ought to be raised in open discussions, in the first instance at the workplace. Engineers, product developers should not use inappropriate methods when competing for employment, assignments or orders, and nor should they attempt to damage the reputation of colleagues with unfounded allegations. Engineers, product developers must respect entrusted information of a confidential nature and others' rights to ideas, inventions, studies, plans and blueprints. Engineers, product developers should not favour vested interests and ought to openly report financial and other interests that could impair confidence in their impartiality and judgement. Engineers, product developers must both publicly and privately, in writing and rhetoric, strive for factual presentations and avoid erroneous, misleading or exaggerated statements. Engineers, product developers must actively support colleagues who encounter difficulties as a result of acting in accordance with these principles and, to the best of their belief, avert criminal actions against them. I feel the difference when I'm out in nature.
