Subject: Public Comment on RF/EMF Exposure and the Need for Stronger Public Health Protections
Docket: HHS-OASH-2026-0397
I am submitting this comment as a concerned American citizen who believes our government must protect human health, future generations, and the environment from potentially harmful electromagnetic and radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure.
I am deeply concerned about the expansion of cell towers, 5G infrastructure, wireless transmitters, and smart meters that contribute to continuous, involuntary RF exposure.
Americans should not be subjected to increasing environmental exposure without rigorous, independent evidence establishing long-term safety.
1. Scientific Evidence of Potential Harm
Substantial published research identifies potential biological effects associated with RF radiation.
National Toxicology Program (2018): This major U.S. government investigation reported clear evidence of carcinogenic activity involving malignant heart schwannomas in male rats exposed to certain cell phone RF signals. Researchers also identified other tumor findings.
https://doi.org/10.22427/NTP-TR-595
Ramazzini Institute (2018): This independent study investigated long-term RF exposure representative of cell tower emissions and reported increased heart schwannomas among male rats at the highest exposure level.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envres.2018.01.037
Hardell and Carlberg (2015): Researchers reported associations between prolonged wireless phone use and increased glioma risk, particularly with longer latency periods.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25466607/
These findings warrant further independent investigation rather than dismissal.
2. Outdated Safety Standards
Federal RF exposure standards have not adequately kept pace with modern wireless technology or continuous exposure from multiple overlapping sources.
Safety assessments must address cumulative exposure, long-term biological effects, and potential nonthermal effects.
In 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals found that the FCC had failed to adequately explain its treatment of evidence concerning non-cancer effects, children, long-term exposure, and environmental impacts.

3. Stronger Restrictions on Wireless Infrastructure
I urge federal officials to substantially strengthen restrictions on cell tower placement, density, and emissions, particularly near homes, schools, hospitals, and agricultural land.
I specifically request:
1. Independent reassessment of federal RF exposure limits using current research and cumulative exposure measurements.
2. Stricter tower-siting and emission standards near residential communities and sensitive locations.
3. Independent RF monitoring with publicly accessible results.
4. Long-term research concerning children, pregnant women, and vulnerable populations.
5. Investment in wired telecommunications and lower-emission alternatives.
6. Greater community involvement in tower placement decisions.
7. Investigation of potential effects on livestock, wildlife, pollinators, and ecosystems.
4. Industry Accountability and Independent Research
Research establishing public safety standards must be transparent, reproducible, and free from undue commercial influence.
I request disclosure of industry funding, conflicts of interest, unpublished findings, and underlying research data used in federal safety assessments.
Studies identifying potential biological harm deserve serious evaluation regardless of commercial interests.
5. Public Health Must Come First
Technological convenience and economic development should not automatically outweigh legitimate public health concerns.
I support substantial reductions in unnecessary RF exposure, stricter wireless infrastructure limits, independent testing, and a precautionary approach wherever important safety questions remain unresolved.
The American public deserves transparency, meaningful choices concerning involuntary exposure, and safety standards based on comprehensive scientific evidence rather than assumptions.
I urge HHS to fully evaluate the research and establish stronger protections for human health, future generations, animals, and the environment.
Thank you for considering my comment.
Could these systems (5G towers, flock cameras, etc ) potentially be used as weapons or be hacked into by adversaries? These systems are being placed very close to schools. As well as in neighborhoods. It is highly concerning. More importantly, what is the over time accumulated effect on the nervous systems of humans exposed? Brian fog? Fatigue? Neurological disorder exacerbations? Psychological harm? What are these devices providing to the population of taxpaying, citizens and their offspring ? Is that service worth the potential health effects? We're we not productive enough of a society before 5G? In addition to human health, where does the natural environment that sustains us come into play, how are we making sure that the wildlife -flora and fauna are not being negatively affected?
5G causes cancer, heart attacks, strokes, migraines, brain fog, memory loss, insomnia, fatigue, tinnitus, flu like symptoms (AKA Covid), muscle pain, muscle deterioration, loss of collagen just to name a few. The 5G antennas also kill trees, insects, birds and animals.
With the insane major push to build hyper scale data centers, a push that goes with them are the high voltage 765 kv power lines. There are very few of these in existence and essentially very limited studies regarding power lines at all and no long term scientific evaluations. Before these lines and hyper scale data centers are forced upon us, a complete and thorough scientific, unbiased evaluation needs to be made. This push with no accountability is not just unacceptable, it defies logic at all levels. The only thing it does is put dollars in large corporations pockets.
Where are the wildlife studies? The studies for farm animals? Habitat? No one taking any responsibility that is ruining our country and harming everything and everyone we know.
Stray voltage is a real thing, and the lawsuits and awards are reflecting that. The explanation being farm animals are closer to it and on their feet? What about the children and pets they play outside? What about the increased diseases? What about getting shocked when touching wet ground or working in a barn?
This should not be an afterthought. Full and complete independent studies that include long term results should be done now and stop the cart before the horse.
There will be nothing left of our great state of Wisconsin or the United States. Greed needs to be left out of the equation.
I am an individual who has suffered personal injury from a nearby cell tower that was upgraded in June of 2023. I spoke with the crew that did that upgrade. I documented that upgrade here -
https://secularheretic.substack.com/p/5g-is-a-directed-energy-weapon-system
There have been at least two more upgrades since then. I also spoke with the crew that did the last upgrade.
My symptoms are; unsteadiness on my feet, mental fog, tinnitus, sleep comas, dehydration. I believe the former symptoms are the result of the latter symptom. I have to constantly drink water to avoid these symptoms. This was not the case prior to the installation and upgrades to this tower.
In July of 2023 (shortly after the first upgrade) I had to go the emergency room at our regional hospital due to severe vomiting. I was admitted to the ICU for treatment of salt deficiency I was in the ICU for 5 days. Turned out, all the water I had been drinking had depleted my salt reserves. I documented that experience here -
https://secularheretic.substack.com/p/the-good-the-bad-the-ugly-i-spent
Furthermore, since the installation of the tower, the valley here has been suffering from drought, while the surrounding public lands (millions of acres) are getting normal rainfall.
Given that microwave radiation alters water molecules (that's how microwave ovens work) it would seem these microwave frequencies not only have a negative effect on the water molecules in our body, but also on the ability of water molecules to form into clouds. As a small farmer, I'm suffering from a double whammy from cell towers.
Although we are told that the "scientific consensus" is that microwave towers do not affect local climates, after asking several versions of AI to show me scientific studies that prove cell towers have no affect on local climates, they were unable to present a single study.
Before installation of 4G cell towers in the Netherlands I was not sensitive to wireless electromagnetic radiation, apart from continuous hearing of a high frequency sound. This changed when a cell tower was installed at 300 m distance of our house. We defended our house with black paint,curtains with iron thread, aluminum foil and fine-mesh iron fencing, disconnecting wifi, and using only cable connections. These measures helped for being safely at home for a while.
In 2024 when 5G was installed I unfortunately became extremely sensitive for this radiation by cell towers, wifi, blue-tooth and mobile phones. I had to leave our church with a cell tower at a distance of 50 m. With my broadband RF meter "Safe and Sound Pro II" I discovered that too much radiation now entered our house despite our protection measures. The density of cell towers in Holland is so high that there are few places with low radiation and we could not find another affordable house at a safe place. We had no other option than to move to another country. In Hungary we found a small village where the radiation is almost zero in one of the streets where we bought a house to live in since last November.
But health problems are not over yet. When going to other places here for shopping etc. I must have my cap and belt around my neck with silver thread on in order to protect myself, but even then I suffer often from nasty symptoms.
The radiation is also tricky in that I usually don't experience its effects immediately and that the first symptoms are mild. When I have been in an environment with high radiation for a longer time, more heavy symptoms may continue afterwards for the rest of the day and sometimes even the next day, like continuous head pressure, headache, dizziness, fatigue, sleepiness, oppression on my throat, etc. A complete list of symptoms that I experienced since 4G was installed, I have added as a supporting document. The 27 symptoms are more than half of the about 40 known symptoms due to wireless radiation.
Most people are already so addicted to their mobile phone, that it is nearly impossible to avoid the radiation when meeting others. Of course I do not and can not use a mobile phone, but my wife has one for necessary things. When she is using her phone, I had to go to another room in order not to become sick (she now works with a cable connection with her mobile phone). It is awful and completely unnecessary that mobile phones are obligatory for more and more activities, especially public authorities.
I find it really criminal that the level of wireless radiation has been raised so high in the Western world. It is completely unnecessary, for wireless telecom is working also very well at much lower levels and with less frequencies. In Russia and China they use now levels that are about 100 times less than in de West. It is well-known that high levels of wireless radiation may kill people and can be used as a bio-weapon. Not only humans, also all living creatures suffer from this radiation. There is enormous scientific evidence that many insect species (like bees), but also many other animals become extinct in areas with a lot of radiation, especially in the neighborhood of cell towers and radar. Also plants are suffering and dying, for instance by smart electricity meters. The warming up of the atmosphere partly will be due to all the energy that is pumped in the air by wireless radiation.
Wireless electromagnetic radiation is in fact completely unnecessary and should be stopped completely in order to restore the life conditions on our planet.
The existing national and international exposure standards and guidelines, for instance from ICNIRP and FCC are outdated. ICNIRP is an organization with members of the telecom industry or connected with it. It is not an independent organization and its members are not democratically chosen. They neglect and deny all effects that are not thermal. The height of radiation that they think is safe, is much too high and is not based on sound scientific research. The publications on which they base their conclusions are corrupt and are funded by telecom and government organizations which are prejudiced and biased.
P.S. Insects, other animals and plants abound in the area where we live now.
We are exposed to unacceptable levels of EMF short-wave pollution. People have experienced headaches, dizziness, inability to function, fatigue, heart issues, insomia,tumors, cancer and more. These cell towers with 5G and other toxic EMF exposures are sick. Even it you do not experience the above knowingly, you are still exposed and building health issues.
Wildlife, which includes plants are also negatively affected. In other words, life itself is attacked by these EMF non-ionizing radiation. The concept that only heat generates injury was incorrect. There are safe ways to improve communication, such as fiber optics.
In 1996 Pres. Clinton exempted the communication industry from health, safety and
environmental issues connected to this industry. That non-regulation needs to be
stopped. This industry is out-of-control. Cell towers are built near schools, which is an absolute travesty. We are entitled to a safe environment without rogue industries such as the above operating unregulated, immune to lawsuits for the health and environmental destruction they cause.
I appreciate your concern for the public.
Another issue involves geo-engineering. The public is now noticing the obvious
spraying of chemicals and maybe more in the atmosphere. Whatever is sprayed is pulled down to the earth via gravity. A life on the planet is adversely harmed, and we are seeing the results. We are told the spraying is for ameliorating
"climate change", which makes no sense. This spraying needs to be stopped.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Severe migraines. Emf reader constantly hitting red unsafe levels in my area. Anywhere from in my home to a near by tower. I feel my health is suffering because of this. I have multiple health concerns now, when I never have before. I have experienced various things like anxiety and more humming and buzzing sounds then I have ever experienced before. You can feel radiation more and more around now. My dog experienced seizures and they got worse and worse until we had to have him put down.
A noticed change in both our health and that of our livestock animals and nature was noticed after the introducing of 5G here on our hill. Seizures began in our dog. Fat pads caused by higher cortisol levels in our cattle began, and another dog. Natural creatures (raccoon, opossum, rabbit) that were seen in abundance, greatly reduced. Nerve problems in ourselves occurred... migraines, anxiety, tingling. Heart irregularities in our family began. Friends agreeing that their health got worse. Neurological especially. Excessive stomach acid was greatly noticed by family and others, including animals. Autoimmune problems worsened, with increased flares.
