Environmental effects

Hello, My name is Gloria Frank. My health was horribly harmed when a Smart Meter was installed on my home in March of 2012. Thankfully, the Smart Meter was removed in 2013, and the analog meter was re-installed due to our PUC (Public Utilities Commission) who voted we could choose to have the Smart meter removed. I am a 30 year researcher on all topics regarding health and wellness. When I became harmed, I researched all the prominent websites that were honest and informative on the facts of just how harmful wireless radiation is to the human body, to animals and to the whole world. In 2014 I became and educator, teacher and mentor in which I assist people who were suffering like I was from wireless radiation. In 2013, I hired a Professional EMR (Electro Magnetic Radiation) consultant to teach me how to remove all the wireless radiation from my home, how to shield my home with a shielding paint so my neighbors wireless devices would not harm my health even more.... and my analog meter was re-installed for a very small fee. I am unable to be in close proximity to all wireless devices, and no one is allowed to come into my home with any wireless devices: cell phone, blue tooth, watches, computers,iPads.....and the list goes on. Wireless radiation emits radiofrequency (RF) energy, a type of non-ionizing radiation that current major public health agencies categorize as a possible human carcinogen. Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic) based on an increased risk for brain and heart tumors. Reproductive Health: Studies link frequent trouser-pocket storage of active mobile phones to reduced sperm counts, lower motility, and potential DNA damage.Cellular Stress: Laboratory findings suggest RF exposure can induce oxidative stress and minor biochemical adjustments. Vulnerable Groups: Children absorb higher proportional doses of radiation in head and skull bone marrow tissue compared to adults due to thinner skull bones and developing nervous systems. Effects on Animals and Wildlife Laboratory Studies: Recent systematic reviews backed by health organizations indicate high certainty that long-term, high-intensity wireless RF radiation links to specific tumor types in animals and humans. There is an active community of advocacy groups, specific research institutes, and independent scientists who argue that current exposure guidelines are outdated and that low-level, non-thermal wireless radiation poses biological and environmental risks. The most prominent groups, research entities, and individuals associated with this viewpoint include: Recognized Advocacy & Research GroupsThe Environmental Health Trust (EHT): Led for years by epidemiologist Dr. Devra Davis, Environmental Health Trust publishes literature and campaigns for stricter public policy regarding wireless infrastructure, 5G, and cell phone radiation. They successfully sued the FCC to force a review of its 1996 testing guidelines.The Ramazzini Institute: A respected independent scientific organization based in Italy. Their large-scale animal studies looked at environmental levels of radiofrequency radiation (similar to cell tower emissions) and reported a potential link to certain types of tumors, replicating some findings of the U.S. government's National Toxicology Program (NTP) study.The BioInitiative Working Group: An international collaboration of scientists and public health professionals that published the BioInitiative Report. The report argues that existing safety limits are thousands of times too high to protect against non-thermal biological effects. Navigation and Behavior: Environmental studies report that low-level electromagnetic fields can disrupt the magnetic compass orientation used by migratory bird species.Insects and Ecosystems: Higher frequency bands (including 5G and broadband spectrums) overlap with frequencies that can act as environmental stressors on small insects, causing motor disturbances or behavioral changes. The most important fact is human health globally is being compromised and millions of people are suffering from exposure to Wireless Radiation. ' Thank you, Gloria Frank * Safe technology Educator

It actually goes without saying, but yeah. Wireless Radiation is Real, impacts all life negatively, and is not being monotored carefully. I'm pissed. Period.

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 a concerned American citizen. I live close to 6 cell phone towers. I am worried about 6G and higher and how it affects our bodies and the birds and animals as well. I don't think there has been enough research done on this to date. 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. .

Electromagnetic interference and damage at the residence. As early as March 4, 2013, I submitted a formal complaint to local authorities against unknown parties regarding electromagnetic disturbances occurring at irregular intervals in my home—apparently within my own living space. Along with the complaint, I provided two medical certificates attesting to my good physical and mental health. Following this, on March 14, 2013, ARPA Reggio Emilia conducted an environmental site inspection— to which, incidentally, my parents initially objected (though not to the plants that withered rapidly in conjunction with anomalous ticking sounds) —an inspection that was utterly inadequate, lasting only 20 minutes (and not even continuously) and covering only specific types of fields. Given that the phenomena occur at extremely irregular intervals and vary in duration and intensity (especially at night), and because the results showed nothing amiss, the case was closed, leaving me with the same unresolved problems for years to come! In the meantime, I have also encountered various malfunctions: among others—in addition to the electrical system in the rooms surrounding my bedroom (which has since been repaired)—there have been frequent issues such as internet connection problems and interference affecting television, radio, and both landline and mobile phone services. My former cat (who was also mentioned in the 2013 formal complaint) also suffered health problems—beyond just vomiting—particularly during periods spent in specific areas of the house; these included rather unusual symptoms, such as the frequent loss of whiskers (she subsequently passed away on February 6, 2019, from a very aggressive, rare form of connective tissue tumor, the kind typically associated with certain types of radiation). P.S.: My previous electromagnetic field meter (which has since disappeared) would often shut down; evidently, the ambient levels in my living space would at times exceed the device's maximum measurement range—a situation that had been occurring for years. + Problems with my internet connection and desktop PC, as well as unauthorized access to my Facebook account, continue to occur at irregular intervals; yet, the Postal Police in Reggio Emilia are taking no action. + In addition to the withered plants and garden, I have also observed various structural damages to the house: crumbling reinforced concrete, cracks and peeling paint on the walls, and damage within my bedroom and bathroom, including to the bathroom fixtures. By August 2026, the electromagnetic disturbances had worsened. At irregular intervals—in addition to the symptoms already described in 2013—I suffered from severe headaches characterized by sharp stabbing pains and a burning sensation lasting for days, as well as dizziness; my scalp and skull bones actually ached, and my head felt burning hot (though I had no fever). My insomnia worsened, and I experienced a loss of balance and memory, leaving me debilitated. Consequently, on September 3, 2026, I filed a second, documented formal complaint with the Public Prosecutor's Office in Reggio Emilia, acting also on the advice of the Reggio Emilia branch of Legambiente. However, the Reggio Emilia Prosecutor's Office was reluctant to accept my petition, turning instead to psychiatric services—which deny the existence of such electromagnetic-related issues and attribute the symptoms to other causes (thereby disregarding the principle of mandatory prosecution, which remains in force in Italy). Even though I am feeling better now, my new electromagnetic meter continues to detect average electric field levels of 500–600 V/m—with peaks exceeding 800 V/m (far above the legal limit of 15 V/m)—at my desktop PC station in the living room; average electric field levels of around 30 V/m affect me and my rooms, with radiation readings around 25. Could you please look into my case? Thank you. Sincerely,

In my opinion, we do not need any of these 5G cell towers and the technology because of the Radiation that just dumbs downs the population, causes so much harm to children and it is dangerous to the environment. Even I get headaches, tiredness because of the EMF's from doing work using WIFI, screen time. God did not create us to be exposed to this harmful entity. That needs to be address. We do not need to be radiated.

The FCC RF safety guidelines should be updated to protect the public's health and safety as well as prevent the real potential for privacy infringement and sabotage of our nation's electricity and communications' grid. The current safety guidelines are based on inappropriate (thermal) data prior to 1996, before the explosion of wireless technology. It is unfathomable to me that our government has let slide these inaccurate/outdated guidelines from 1996, including the edict that communities could not use environmental or health harm to fight placement in our neighborhods. To me this is proof that the telecommunications industry knew back then of the harm this technology could cause. This law has been used to ignore information of harm, forcing neighborhoods to accept anytime/anywhere placement of increasingly powerful/harmful cell towers. We were promised wired fiber optic and, instead, were baited & then switched to wireless. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health and environmental impact should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate (non-industry, independent) 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 can't stand the bright white headlights when driving on the road at night. They are blinding. I have to squint and look at the line on the shoulder to make sure I can see a small part of the road. People have gotten into accidents because manufacturers are making them bright blue white. Research shows it can damage our retina and that it negatively impacts wildlife and our environment upon which we all depend to survive. For anyone who drives at night this is dangerous. I can't imagine how dangerous it would be for someone who drives hundreds of miles a week at night as part of their night job. My suggestion for the current cars on the road is to require them to put a vinyl amber wrap on them to prevent the glare. Automobiles in production should be required to insert headlights that have a warm amber color closer to the old headlight colors that are not so harsh on eyes or the environment. If implementing this white blue light is about the concern for being able to see further, then we have just negated that effect by causing dangerous blinding of oncoming traffic. NOT SAFE. Not worth risking our lives to see a little further ahead.

Wireless devices and infrastructure must be regulated to ensure safety is the priority especially for the most vulnerable of our population including pregnant women and children. HHS is the regulatory body protecting humans from the greed of the wireless industry. The health and safety of our population is extremely fragile and we are trusting this agency to protect us, and all living creatures of this beautiful planet we call home, earth.

I am a health practitioner, I'm a massage and bodywork therapist in practice for over 20 years, I am a Mother. I am also a Nationally Certifed Massage Therapy Educator. I am 52 yrs. old. I am sending you a copy of my doctors note saying I need to avoid wifi. I do not use a cellphone. Review RFs as well as the EMFs. You already know this but we all have a WIFI DRONE ISSUE. All the neighbors are encroaching on our property, & military flying thermal radiation drones & pressing them in my windows each night playing war games and harrassing us on my 16 acres, encroaching my property, I moved 5 times, I sold my first home because of this and rented 4 homes which all had the same thing happening. You need to change the law so everything has identification, ids, we need identifications on drones no matter how small or big, and mandated laws and standards enforced. I am an EHS Refugee & moved out of 3 homes last year to escape a radiation smartmeter in CT that was forced in my home, and I had to move to a state where only opt out meters are enforced. I had to move back to North Carolina. Wifi radiation is inconvenient and encroaching on our personal space and property giving our bodies symptoms. I am trying to find a home to settle down in but I need to be miles away from celltowers and I am having a hard time avoiding the celltowers that are on the map close to each property and they should minimize celltowers. I should not be forced to use a cellphone, smartphone for using any social media or website, buying food, or work, or anything, freedom of choice. I took photos of my cat getting cancer from the RFs, the radiation from a smartmeter, she had a wound but when we moved away from the smartmeter radiation, her wound got smaller.Our lives have changed since wifi radiation over powered our lives. where we are EHS Refugees where we have to avoid wifi radiation. I have a husband and friends and massage clients who are okay with not bringing wifi in to my home, they have to keep their wifi away from me when near me. We avoid places with celltowers on the buildings or near the buildings. We avoid using LED lights at home, only use incandescent because we get headaches & symptoms. LED lights cause blindness in rats, & people, bring back quality incandescent lights, give us healthy options, not healthy for the environment, healthy for our system, our bodies first before environment. RFs, & EMFs cause symptoms of insomnia, rage, mass shootings, numbness, nerve issues, tremors, convulsions, reflex issues, inflammation, pain, brain fog, personality disorders, addiction, ADD, disruption of REM & sleep, most of all insomnia & sleep disorders which I believe are the source of all our problems. Tell them to do sleep studies.I am a sleep expert. You need to lower levels of radiation, you need to have standards like Europe and or think about people, plants & animal health. It messes up migration, the bees, it shortens lifespan. They need to have the battery removable so when the cellphone is off it is really off, not on 24-7. They need to make these adjustments to protect our health. They need to focus on "rest" & "sleep" & these basic needs for health & what that really means & how wifi, RF & EMF is interfering with our bodies, our bodies are electric, delicate, sensitive more than they know or care, & it is damaging our cells. It is causing inflammation. It is causing dehydration, & lowering vit. D levels dangerously. I do not use wifi, that is why. We should all have the choice not to use wifi & should not be forced to live next to a cellphone tower. Make an option for non-wifi. Please take away these dangerous toys.Please help us, change standards, make strict limitations, minimize. Get rid of the dangerous wifi toys. For every technology run by wifi radiation, we need an analog, non-wifi version with no radiation offered. Do not replace everything with wifi radiation and think that is "better". We always choose non-digital and dials over digital with radiation. We always choose analog over digital, We choose copper landline over digital phone, do not make this obsolete. We choose dsl over fiber internet because fiber has high amounts of DE-dirty electricity. I am not the only one, there are thousands of us, join our Electric Sensitive Support group facebook page. Most of us are trying to escape the EMFs and RFs and are forced to live in a mobile home and travel around to escape a celltower being built next to us. Safe levels are 1.5 on a Trifield EMF Meter, .1-.3 is safe on an RF meter. Because health is more important. ~sent from an ethernet cabled desktop computer, no wifi.
