Towers & siting

1. & 2. I am responding as: an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)Cell phone and smart meter 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):Approx 10+ years 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:Whole body aches, pain, headaches and tinnitus. Sometimes dizziness. 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:Instantly. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?No. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?Yes 1. Put an emf screen on my smart meter after birds disappeared from bird feeder approximately 8 feet away. The birds came back like turning on a light switch. I put my cell phone in a faraday pouch when not in use which helps. It's the huge cell tower put up at the interstate that is the worst for my health. When I leave this area, I feel good again. It drains me of every vital life giving source and leaves me with severe depression and pain. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:2 Cell tower exposer. One north east about a mile away. The other west, less than a mile. I don't get good sleep. Both are directed at the interstate which is less than a half mile south of me Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:I can tell you that the two giant cell towers used for interstate is used for geoengineering ! Planes that disperse chemical trails do so by connecting to the cell towers. They do this to control the weather. I am older than this technology so I remember how the weather used to be. I have seen completely still days instantly turn to 60 mph winds watching the planes connecting the cell tower emf/emr. See Dane Wigington Geoengineering Watch.org or YouTube to get a full understanding of how they force and control the weather by these towers and planes. I watch them seeing how it works. They cause catastrophic storms and floods, heat domes that causes drought, tornadoes not too mention the death of flora and fauna chemical fallouts. I volunteer at a state park. It used to be full of life until a cell tower went up just outside it's borders. Birds and insects instantly disappeared. That was about 8 years ago. What used to be a loud symphony of birdsong has left it silent. The wildlife has tricked down to some sickly few. Many many losses of trees especially fruit and nut. It is greatly noticed by myself because I knew how it was. But for a newcomer, not. It leaves me with great sadness seeing the death of Creation. B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:Two giant cell towers One 4g cell phone One smart meter B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:N/ap B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed:I don't know. B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):The only source for therapy is to leave the zone. B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless:None. B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant:None. B3. For each subquestion please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any) B3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure:No drugs. Long hot baths with Epsom Salt Stretching afterwards with deep slow breaths B3b. That you recommend, but you’re not positive that they help:I recommend destroying the cell towers, cell phones and going back to analog or some safer way of communicating. Stop controlling the weather. B3c. That helped you but you don’t recommend. (e.g., the benefit did not last long or the side effects were too harmful):n/a B3d. Treatments that had no effect:Aspirin B3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse:65-74 B4. What is your age range?65-74 B5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields?2008 B6. What country, state, province, or major city were you living in when you first noticed your sensitivity to wireless or electromagnetic fields?USA Ohio Clayton

To whom it concern regarding the Obamacare health care plan regarding. I have strong beliefs that anything that has to do with radio action microwaves frequencies fiber optic high voltage wiring and any kind of technology affects the human affairs of human safety regarding all the electronics with the 5G frequencies in meter boxes in homes and perhaps in business buildings and facilities also acknowledgment of any power devices does anything to do with the rest. My beliefs and now known to research in fact to be factual that the cell towers give off the microwaves waves and is very toxic they have are where the public. Connected in all sorts of ways it causes ailments of many kinds. There's a lot of other devices connected to be a benefit to the healthcare system regarding the health services of others. I distinctly I'm an advocate for the provision of health.

5G towers should not be by residential areas, schools, hospitals, stadiums or anywhere ppl are going to be. This technology is a weapon and it's sickening how many I see along freeways. We had fast internet BEFORE these towers went up! Why do we even need these things? Also, there's a problem with WIFI in the home and companies like COMCAST making it very strong so it becomes a network hotspot for cars driving by. This creates a dangerous level of EMF in the home and can accelerate toxic mold growth. Furthermore, people should be ENCOURAGED to not wear "wearables", to turn their phone on airplane mode as much as possible, talk with a speaker, wire their internet with ethernet, get rid of smart meters, install landlines (and make REAL landlines common and affordable again!) . At the very least, households should be encouraged to TURN OFF their internet routers at night to give their bodies a break from the constant electromagnetic pollution.

I am a 64-year-old man whose family owns a vacation home in Hillman Township, Michigan. A cell tower developer is seeking to construct a massive telecommunications tower just feet from my property. Like others who live nearby, we purchased and maintained this home to enjoy peace, privacy, and the natural environment -- not to face the prospect of significant, long-term exposure to high levels of wireless radiation emissions. This is not a matter of NIMBY-ism. This is a matter of public health and the responsible, thoughtful sitting of powerful industrial equipment. I urge HHS to prioritize research into the biological mechanisms of harm. Federal research should investigate the effects of RF radiation on cellular signaling, oxidative stress, DNA damage and repair, neurological function, and reproductive and developmental health. HHS should fund independent, replicated laboratory studies, long-term animal research, and prospective human studies examining chronic and cumulative exposure, including levels below current federal limits. Research should also examine particularly vulnerable populations, including children, pregnant women, and older adults. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer's 2013 Monograph Report on Non-Ionizing Radiation, children absorb up to ten times more wireless radiation in the bone marrow of the skull compared to adults due to their thinner skulls, smaller heads, and higher brain conductivity. I urge HHS to recommend that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reassesses and lowers its existing RF exposure limits. Current RF exposure limits are so permissive that they’re essentially the equivalent of a 500-mph speed limit. No wonder people are getting sick! The FCC must reconsider the Specific Anthropomorphic Mannequin (SAM) model used to assess cell phone RF exposure. SAM is based on a simplified model of a standardized adult head and was developed to assess localized RF energy absorption under specified testing conditions. It does not adequately represent the full range of human anatomy, including children, differences in head and body size, or the complexity of real-world phone use and exposure. A compliance test based on a standardized model cannot, by itself, establish that all users are adequately protected under all realistic conditions. HHS should encourage independent evaluation of SAM's limitations and support improved testing methods that better reflect diverse users, realistic usage patterns, and modern wireless devices. I am not opposed to telecommunications technology. I am asking that public health receive the same serious consideration as infrastructure expansion. I respectfully urge HHS to lead a coordinated federal research effort, further investigate the biological mechanisms of RF-related harms, recommend stronger FCC exposure limits, and support more scientifically representative cell phone testing methods. Americans deserve nothing less. Thank you for your consideration of my comment. Respectfully submitted, Chris Caswell

Cell towers do not belong in school grounds where children spend a majority of their time! Towers belong in vacant areas far from schools and residential homes!!

I have already had to move 3 times due to radiowave sickness. Once from Riversode, CA in 2020 and again from Somis, CA (southern California which is extremely cell tower). I moved to a rural portion of Northern California, Grass Valley, and again I am being threatened by the proposed cell tower on Dog Bar Rd that is currently being fought in federal court. Under the current rules, the county has no ability to object to cell towers. Guidelines which were set in the 1990s. Remember what the phones looked like in the 90s with the antennas and no internet? Those guidelines are as antiquated as those phones. When I had to return to Southern California for a couple of weeks, I had a rash on my entire upper body from radiofrequency exposure. I also get headaches and chest pain. Also, the microwave radiation penetrates much further into children's skulls that adult's skulls. In other areas of life, we set the exposure limits at a level that will protect pregnant women and children. Why should this be any different? China requires pregnant women to wear radiofrequency shielding belly bands and Russia has limits on how much minors should use cell phones daily. What is that saying when Russia and China care more about protecting their citizens than we do?

Are there certain states that are safer than others in this regard? Certain other countries around the world?? What about Elon Musk's Starlink system that can be used to handle cell phones and maybe the new Q phones? Will this technology be safer than existing EMF, Wi-Fi, 5G etc.?? Can 5G be configured to offer healthy frequencies or radiation as opposed to unhealthy? Who are the Congress and Senators being paid off by Big Telecom to let the FCC run amok. No oversight since 1995 or whenever?? WTF?

Ron Schranz 11 Honuea Place, Kihei, HI 96753 Tel/Fax: (808) 875-8287 rschranz@hotmail.com Brain & Eye damages from Microwave radiation to me. 10/18/2026 I moved into Kihei in 2005 from ag land in Haiku and purchased a lot at 85 Honuea pl and was NOT given any disclosure of the 50 or more cell transmitters mounted within 3800 feet of my home. One night in 2006 after 1 year of constant exposure I was woken up at approx. 3 AM with a debilitating headache, my brain on fire causing massive sweating to the point that my pillow could hardly be picked up as the thermal effects had cooked my head profusely. I soon discovered that each time I entered my home the head aches started. I then was NOT able to sleep, watch TV, eat at my dining room or spend any time in my home office without suffering major pains and more debilitating headaches. In trying to sleep in my bed I was allowed apprx. A few hours before the pain and headaches would begin again. I soon could NOT spend much time if any in my home without suffering badly from microwave poisoning. I was forced to abandon my home and seek refuge in any area that was not heavily bombarded with transmissions from cell towers which was just about impossible in the Kihei area. I subsequently suffered from heavy memory loss to the point that I could not work or barely function in my life. I had problems remembering my own phone number and was totally unable to do any of my contracting business which require lots of calculating. I was disabled by this condition for more than a year. Page 2 continued Ron Schranz Microwave poisoning After a year I was sleeping in my car and trying to function as a contractor doing my bidding and calculating. I had found that spending time away from home and soaking my head in cold water frequently would help some. I began to research my condition and found that it is well know that the effects of microwaves cause many many people like me to suffer many painful symptoms. The thought by many medical professionals and scientist is that this condition is called EHS Electro Hyper sensitivity. It is reported around the world that many others are suffering from this exposure to microwaves and that there are tons of scientist that have proof that there is extreme dangers to the human body from microwave radiation. I have been battling this condition since 2006. I have read and studied all I can in an attempt to mitigate the symptoms as much as possible. I was not able to leave my home as my income was drastically reduced due to my inability to function. I was unable to pay my mortgage and subsequently filed for bankruptcy. I have been forced to stay in this home since then as I had no extra money or even credit to move or purchase another home. My home is still in litigation at this time. As I was able to somehow cope with my condition and start generating some money I began to purchase all kinds of equipment to test for safe areas and also buy protective clothing or shielding to make my home more livable. The towers near me were increasing in numbers and strength to illegal limits. I contacted FCC but they said they had no agents in Hawaii and that they allow the cell companies to police themselves. In other words they would do nothing to protect humans suffering and gave free reign to the telecommunications people in FULL. Page 3 Ron Schranz Microwave poisoning continued With the proliferation of solar systems in Hawaii now and even though the PUC has NOT given the local electric company permission to change out home owners electric meters to Smart meters/Digital meters the electric company has used the excuse of solar systems installed on home to swap out analog meters with now Digital meters. I now have 8 digital meters on homes surrounding me and I am being FRIED to death in my own home. This is CRIMINAL TRESPASSING at it’s worst. I walk into my home and instantly feel dizzy along with major eye pains gripping within moments of entering. The eye pains are excruciating and now have gotten to the point of causing major damage to my eyes. My right eye has a swollen macular blurring out any vision in that eye. My left eye has a hole in the retina and is in just as much pain. My entire property is now radiated 24/7. I can not even work the yard or wash my car without felling all these painful symptoms. As HHS I implore you to take action and STOP all this destruction of all our families especially children. Switch to Fiber optics wired and move ALL towers far away from homes, schools and save us all from this pain and suffering. Sincerely Ron Schranz

See attached file(s) My name is Lene Hannisdahl Haug, and this document serves to summarize the severe and life-threatening impact that electromagnetic radiation, particularly 5G, is having on my health, my family, and my daily existence. • Acute Physical Suffering: Since the 5G radiation was directed at my home, I have developed severe health failures. I suffer from a constant, infernal, and throbbing headache that lasts day and night. The pain is so intense that it makes me nauseous, and it causes severe cognitive impairment to the point where I can barely move, think, or even hold my head up to write. I experience this continuous exposure as pure physical torture, and my body reacts as though I am constantly being beaten. • Loss of Freedom and Total Confinement: My life has been drastically restricted to protect myself from radiation. Due to my sensitivity to smart meters (AMS), I have lived like a prisoner in my own home since the fall of 2018. However, the upgrade to 5G has turned this confinement into unbearable torture. I cannot even step outside my house to enjoy the weather, leaving me with less freedom than a prison inmate who is at least allowed daily outdoor time. • Forced Displacement and Isolation: The pain became so unendurable that I had to flee my own home to survive. To escape the 5G pulses and frequencies, I lived in complete isolation at a remote cabin far away from civilization. While this allowed me to recover my health physically, it forced me into heartbreaking isolation, separated entirely from my husband and children. • Devastating Impact on Family Life: The radiation exposure prevents me from participating in the most important moments of my family's life.Most tragically, the radiation environment and the physical pain completely prevented me from attending my own mother's funeral in the church. • Documented Cause and Effect: There is an undeniable and documented pattern regarding my illness. Throughout 2024 and 2025, my health completely collapsed during periods of 5G exposure, yet I partly recovered and became healthy during the periods when the environment was restricted to 4G. • A Fight for Survival: I am living in an acute, ongoing emergency. The situation is so desperate that I feel like I am drowning. With telecom operators planning to activate even more 5G transmitters pointing directly at my house in the direct line of sight, I am terrified for my life and am pleading with authorities for immediate protection.

In early 2021, both adults in my household began experiencing a mysterious raft of ongoing and debilitating health problems with no obvious cause. We experienced chaotic changes in blood pressure, dizziness and brain fog, chronic fatigue, loss of control over muscle tension, unrestorative sleep, memory problems, lack of focus, and persistent feelings of doom. Most mysteriously, our symptoms would resolve when temporarily relocating to remote areas, but we were in no position to make any such move permanent. After experiencing such severe and prolonged symptoms that I was no longer able to work---after over a decade providing my family's primary income---I spent my available energy seeking medical help to try to understand the cause of all our troubles. After two years, I made a series of shocking discoveries: (1) that our symptoms strongly matched those of sufferers of microwave syndrome, discovered decades before, but paid little attention by the medical profession; (2) that the time our symptoms appeared coincided with the rollout of 5G networks in our community; (3) that researchers all over the world had connected reports of similar suffering to the deployment of 5G networks; and most terribly, (4) that the U.S. Federal Communications Commission had pointedly ignored this research, even in defiance of federal court orders that they give it due consideration. When I became a licensed amateur radio operator as a child, I was taught that the FCC maintained evidence-based radio frequency exposure standards to protect public health and welfare while facilitating effective communications. Recent events have made clear that the FCC no longer maintains either expertise or interest in the first of these goals, while its close relationships with telecommunications companies have compromised even its ability to follow the most basic directives of the law. With the massive increase in radio frequency exposures now pervading our country, it is clear that protecting people and other organisms from electromagnetic pollution should become primary responsibilities of the agencies charged with caring for human health and the environment, HHS and EPA. Today my children suffer concerning sleep disruptions that make me worry for their healthy development---yet another characteristic sign of microwave syndrome. I have tried to find a way to measure the electromagnetic pollution where we live, but I found that equipment able to distinguish individual sources of radiation at 5G frequencies costs tens of thousands of dollars. We may ultimately be forced to uproot ourselves from our community---our families, friends, schools, and remaining source of income---in order to find a place where we can be safe and fully alive once more. It devastates me to think how our government has failed us and so many other families in the single-minded pursuit of technological advancement at all costs, ignoring the scientific process that has allowed our society to manage progress in the past. For your reference, I am attaching below two scientific publications representative of hundreds more in their respective categories. The first is a case report documenting the clear association between 5G station deployment and debilitating microwave syndrome symptoms in the two adults of another household in Sweden, beginning also in 2021. The second is a review article documenting that the FCC's current exposure limits are based on wishful assumptions rather than consideration of scientific evidence. These are but two samples from a vast scientific literature that has been sidelined in the rush to deploy faster and faster wireless networks. I call on HHS to take charge of a new, scientifically honest program to reevaluate and regulate environmental exposure to man-made electromagnetic radiation. For every American who experiences an added convenience shaving seconds off a gigabyte mobile download, there is one suffering in silence whose life has been shattered by a poisonous force they cannot even see.
