Environmental effects

Law makers know emf's are harmful!!! Stop this madness!! It is going to kill pollinators...frequency changes water. Research it!! It is not for the greater good!!

Comment on Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397: Request for Information on EMFs, RF Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure Question 2: Perspective I am submitting this comment as an individual who experiences adverse symptoms from exposure to wireless radiation and other electromagnetic fields. Question 3: Personal Experience a. Sources: I react to cell phones, cell towers, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, 5G, smart meters, wireless printers, and other smart or wireless devices. c. Symptoms: When exposed, I experience heart palpitations, elevated blood pressure, headaches, dizziness, nausea, disorientation, and elevated and erratic blood sugar. f. Steps taken to reduce exposure: I have no wireless internet or any kind of wireless device in my home other than a 4G cell phone for emergencies, which is kept off all of the time unless needed. Avoiding exposure has reshaped nearly every part of my life: Work: I cannot work anywhere other than at home. Housing: I cannot live in apartments or near other houses, buildings, or cell towers. Finding a safe home is becoming harder every year as wireless infrastructure expands. Transportation: I drive a 2003 vehicle because I cannot ride in most modern cars, which are full of wireless systems. Public life: I cannot stay in public places for long, and I cannot spend much time in the homes of friends and family. Healthcare and government services: I have had to walk out of medical appointments and appointments in government buildings because I became too sick to stay. Hospitals are among the hardest places for me to be. During one hospital stay, doctors did not understand why I became sicker and sicker until they realized that a wireless heart monitor was the cause and I improved once it was removed. However, the exposure usually comes from so many different sources in the building and the other equipment that the exposure cannot be removed or lowered enough. Because of this, I have had to avoid hospital stays or leave earlier than my doctors recommended. This is a serious problem when I need medical care. This is not a minor inconvenience. It limits my ability to earn a living, find housing, use transportation, receive medical care, access government services, and maintain relationships. Question 13(j) and Question 11(d) and (f): Wireless Medical Devices My doctor prescribed medical equipment that I cannot use because it relies on Bluetooth. As medical devices increasingly become wireless by default, people who react to RF exposure are being shut out of care they need. Wired or non-wireless alternatives should remain available for medical devices, and patients should be told whether a device emits RF and whether its wireless functions can be turned off. Question 11: Sensitive Populations Yes, exposure assessment should differ for sensitive populations. In addition to children and pregnant women, HHS should recognize people who experience symptoms from RF/EMF exposure as a population that needs specific study and protection (11g). Case reports have documented people developing symptoms after nearby 5G installations [18], and studies of people living near cell towers have reported symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and sleep problems [19, 20], as well as changes in blood sugar [25]. Children absorb more RF radiation into their brains and bodies than adults do [1, 2, 21]. Prenatal exposure has been linked to neurodevelopmental and behavioral changes in animals [3], and RF exposure has been associated with effects on memory performance in adolescents [4]. Question 12: Evidence of Effects Below Current Limits Current federal limits were set in 1996 and are based mainly on heating. Research has reported biological effects at levels below these limits, including oxidative stress [5], DNA damage [6, 7, 8], reproductive harm [9, 10, 11, 12], and tumors in animals exposed over their lifetimes [13]. Reviews conclude that non-thermal effects are not accounted for by current limits [14, 22, 23]. Question 14: Environmental Effects RF radiation may also affect wildlife, including bird and insect orientation and insect exposure at higher frequencies [15, 16, 17]. Recommendations [24] 1. Fund independent research on long-term and cumulative exposure. 2. Develop science-based exposure limits that account for non-thermal effects. 3. Require safety testing of wireless devices before they go on the market, and track health problems after. 4. Improve oversight and enforcement of exposure limits. 5. Reduce exposures for children, vulnerable groups, and wildlife. 6. Require wired or non-wireless options for medical devices. 7. Create low-EMF areas in hospitals, medical offices, and government buildings. 8. Require clear disclosure of RF emissions from devices, vehicles, and infrastructure.

I am a Software Engineer, IT consultant and business owner, living in south of Sweden. Discovered my sensitivity from wireless tech (RF/microwaves) in 2006, shortly after moving into an apartment that had mobile base station antennas located very close nearby. I did not notice these antennas until after I started having recurring headaches, disturbed sleep, and many other symptoms, and started investigating possible causes. Mobile phone operator Telia made an on site measuring audit showing around 8mW/As soon as I left the apartment the symptoms quickly disappeared. I have been working with computers pretty much all my life and also did my military service in radar (air force) and my own theory is that I have been sensitized as a consequence of long-term exposure over many years. Today I live in the house in the countryside working remotely via fiber connection and usually do not experience any symptoms unless I use my mobile phone or other wireless tech more extensively (which is very tempting because of my profession). I have read lots of scientific studies over the years and some illustrates the problem especially well, such as the Spanish study on the Effects of Electromagnetic Fields from Phone Masts on a Population of White Stork (by Balmori A, https://doi.org/10.1080/15368370500205472), that show with rather high significance that the birds with nests nearer to the phone base station antennas have increased likeliness problems with nesting and reproduction. My own measurements of RF radiation over the years consists of different measuring devices ranging from simpler meters such as Cornet ED88T to more advanced devices such as Gigahertz Solutions HF59b.

Federal Research Priorities 16. What are the highest priority research gaps regarding EMF and RF radiation and public health that the federal health agencies should address? I am in healthcare industry. I am not aware of comprehensive statement by HHS or similar authoritative agency on safety of the wide range of RF and EMF devices and the levels - acute or cumulative - of emissions. For my tax monies I expect a government agency to step up and step in to the gap created by industry who likely are not enthusiastic for such studies to be conducted. My position for science-based conclusions goes across industries that have widespread exposure to humans, animals and the environment. The potential that a large number of sub-studies can be conducted to reach a comprehensive conclusion and I hope the agency gets after the project. I am pessimistic the results will be good as it pertains to impact on humans, animals and environment.

Wifi disruptors growth of any plants. It's been tested by schools and video time-lapses are available online. 4G towers were giving people headaches for years. Made people leave their homes and move. https://youtu.be/jjyqPWb0Vc0?is=nq7a1xbXAoWVIVys My gurlfriend couldn't get good sleep at night, she was prompt to migraines. We went through chiropractors, all kinds of tests, but it ended up being wifi in the next room. I bought an EMF reader and now I make sure the room clear of EMF of any kinds to be safe for my kids.

No American Citizen has asked to be bathed in EMF and Radiation, yet the cell towers keep going up without the public’s knowledge. The cell towers are getting more powerful and are encroaching onto school property and into neighborhoods across the country. They are extremely dangerous to human health and wildlife. It seems that profit has been put over quality of life and health, yet again. We would like to see these cell towers be removed from neighborhoods and near schools

I developed severe tinnitus. Different frequency in each ear. I developed dizziness and severe nausea. So bad I struggled to feed my cats. I heard very deep frequencies in the house. It felt like the room was breathing and caused my cats to growl deeply. It was so bad I checked into a psyche ward because I couldn't take it. 4 months of severe nausea. 6 days in the facility and symptoms got better. Went home. Again developed severe nausea. I had to flee my house which went into a short sale. 2 years before that, i was living with my mother,from day 1 of turning on Smart meters, the tinnitus there started. I wasn't sleeping well but my mother couldn't hear the noise. She was 80 tho. So everyone else got up and the noise of the day started. After a few months of barely sleeping, I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. So, I bought said house, which I fled for an apartment. I haven't had a restful night since they forced smart meters and put towers up everywhere. 11 years and not 1 good nights sleep. Imagine night after night when you want to sleep, but even with earplugs in, it's never quiet. It isn't physical, believe me. And, it's funny how the noise in my ears is different depending where I've lived. I'm sure the physical damage will show up in time but I've aged a decade in the last year. I look 20 years older than I am. I'm convinced it killed all 3 cats. Had no health issues, then all 3 dead in a matter of months.

Has someone who has been negatively affected healthwise from exposure to EMF, along with power companies switch to smart meters, we are surrounded by this unseen toxin to our nervous system and many times have no choice but to deal with the negative neurological side effects, and also heart side effects. I am not able to work in any type of office building set up without having debilitating symptoms which has made my life very challenging to make an income. I think radio frequency sickness is the term they use in Europe and I do believe that they have programs or disabilities that are connected to it. I would like to see more regulation with the FCC and more education and ways that we can protect ourselves or eliminate this type of unseen Health toxin from our environment. On top of that I do not believe our children should be exposed to so much in their school setting I have seen schools in my state of Wisconsin that have cell phone towers on the schools and also with all the Wi-Fi frequencies and they're using laptops for a lot of their school they're in front of screens and blue light and EMF radiation their skulls are not fully formed until a certain age which also damages and has more of an effect. On top of that right now the state of Wisconsin is also fighting to keep out a 765 line that is the largest power line we would ever experience going through rural areas Farms that could cause stray voltage along with which could possibly completely shut down a dairy operation or livestock Farm because the cattle gets sick because they do not drink the water if it has a shock to it and also their bodies are undergoing to high levels of electricity. I really hope that these messages get heard it's a real problem it should be addressed and we shouldn't have to live in a world where we are surrounded by high EMF fields along with any type of stray voltage.

I have had adverse health advents from EMF radiation. I have frequent migraines and am no longer able to wear my jewelry because that exasperates my symptoms. There is also proof that children do not tolerate EMF exposure very well at all! And 5G towers are put by schools, no!!!! 5g has ill effects on our bee population as well. 5g was a failed military experiment and I do NOT consent to it!!!

I have a son with autism who is very sensitive to emf exposure. We take many precautions in our home like hard wiring internet and turning WiFi off at night. Router is very far from all of our children. I am extremely concerned about the huge 765 kV transmission lines. What is the actual number of radiation and emf exposure from these lines? Is it worth the risk to our health, animals, ecosystem? Please make all of advancements of technology stop. My children go to public school. How much radiation and emfs are they being exposed to daily? I would love to get rid of all technology in the classroom.
