I have been severely affected by cell tower radiation, smart meter RF radiation and line noise (voltage transients and harmonics from switched mode power supplies), cell phone radiation, LED lights, and essentially anything that emits a PULSED EMF.
Cell tower installed 1000 ft from my home. I didn't know it because it was hidden by trees. But suddenly, I wasn't sleeping so well. A year later, I discovered the cell tower but made no association between my poorer sleep and the tower. Yet when I'd visit my parents, who lived where, at the time, there was essentially no cell reception, I slept well again. In 2012, I finally realized that the tower was the likely cause of my poorer sleep.
The other troubling thing was, the year the cell tower was installed, the number of insects dropped by about 1/3. All insects, not just some types. I wondered about it, but thought it might be some sort of cyclical or climatic thing. But the populations never recovered.
Twelve years later, smart meters were installed. The next year, the insect population was reduced to 1/3 of what it had been pre-cell-tower. The insects never recovered. Four years later, there were hardly even any beetles. They seem to have been the one bug that was more resilient or unaffected than the others.
Then, at my parents' home, where I'd always slept really well, I had near-total insomnia. I tossed and turned all night. I didn't know why. My only speculation was that it must be emotional (don't we all go to that when something is unexplained?), though I'd no idea what that might be. Year after year after year, I could not sleep and would go home completely worn out.
Then I learned that a PLC meter had been installed on their home in January of the year I became unable to sleep. We installed a whole-house dirty electricity filter and I had no more problems.
The smart meters were installed in my neighborhood in 2012. That completely changed my life. This wasn't the poor sleep from the cell tower. This was all-encompassing: terrible, unrestful sleep; transient memory loss; severe fatigue; heart palpitations.
There's so much more I could recount, but this gives you a glimpse into what happens to a not unsignificant proportion of the population.
This is not a cell tower for phones or radio these are direct energy weapons installed at schools neighborhoods and homes. Why? Are they safe for humans? What is the point of them? This is illegal and they need to take them down. Covid makers and health declines from these towers. Do you know what they’re doing to keep these microwaves around us?? TAKE THEM DOWN
My mother was severely impacted traveling on a route with cell towers.
She could not walk without assistance and impaired.
Over time it was obvious it was the cell tower pulsed microwave radiation impacting her.
She could not longer freely travel.
As a retired Electrical Engineer, possessing a GROL (Commercial License), issued by the FCC, who has operated three nuclear reactors, and acquired a background in Radiological Controls and Health Physics, in the process of qualifying as a Nuclear Reactor Operator, I could comment, endlessly, on the scientific reasons for my objections to the ever-increasing levels and distribution of Pulsed-Mode Radio Frequency Electro-Magnetic Radiation, as well as give testimony to the negative health effects I have personally experienced from exposure to same, but I would like to focus my comments on my opposition to the Federal Communications Commission, in general and, more specifically, to HR 2289, before the 119th Congress, which would Eliminate Local Authority Over the Communications Infrastructure.
To this filing, I plan to attach two documents.
The first is a .doc file, in which I express my full comments to the Department of Health and Human Services, concerning Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure, as it pertains to the Federal Communications Commission and to our Founding Documents.
The second is a .pdf document, generated by the National Call for Safe Technology, addressing HR 2289, which is being considered by the 119th Congress.
Thank you.

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 and a parent. With the proliferation of 5G towers across the country, without public input or feedback, we suddenly found ourselves living with a large tower across the street from our home. After a few months, I noticed my tinnitus getting worse within the house, while my wife's sleep patterns became more erratic and she was waking up much more in the night and feeling less rested in the morning. She said it wasn't because she was suddenly worrying about things more. My daughter also began frequently complaining how tired she was in the morning even after a full night's sleep. Her bedroom sits in direct line of sight with the tower across the street. Though all these events don't prove 5G is causing them, the timing is significant and many others across the country have experienced similar things and even much worse things. Is it all in our heads? The research the FCC is relying on is outdated. Meanwhile, much new research suggests continuous exposure to non-ionizing radiation can, in fact, be harmful. HHS needs to consider all relevant, current data and commission new studies. Nothing less than the health and well-being of all of us is at stake as this technology continues to expand unbounded with almost no controls, and almost no concern for public health.
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.
Hi!
I realized that I suffered from electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) in 2009, though I have experienced symptoms since I was young. I am now 56 years old. I suffer from headaches, difficulty concentrating, memory problems, dizziness, diarrhea, sleep disturbances, skin rashes, a lack of initiative, dry mouth, physical pain, nausea, and stiffness. If I am exposed to high levels of EMF, I experience anxiety and depression.
I react primarily to radiofrequency radiation. It makes no difference whether it comes from mobile phones, cell towers, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, smartwatches, or other connected devices. Magnetic fields in cars can also be an issue; there are very few vehicles I am able to travel in.
In 2010, I had my home shielded against EMF, which led to a significant improvement in my health. Since then, however, radiation levels here in Sweden have increased enormously, and my current shielding is no longer fully adequate. My health has gradually deteriorated. When I go into town to shop, it now takes me over 24 hours to recover—previously, it only took a couple of hours. I can manage to visit two or three shops before I have to return home because I have become too unwell.
I am convinced that, sooner or later, we will eliminate or drastically reduce radiofrequency radiation in our society. The sooner we do so, the fewer people will have their health destroyed.
In the appendix, I have included studies that I believe should be taken into account.
Best regards,
Henrik Albertson
Wireless radiation is a major concern especially for children. People I personally know that live right next to a cell tower have had issues with cancer. In schools, many classrooms have at least one wireless access point. It is very possible this is causing behavior problems. Sitting right under a box emitting radiation is certainly not a good idea especially for little bodies. 5G cell towers are being forced upon us. Even if we forgo wifi at home, we are still exposed to the ever growing cell towers. They are becoming more powerful and there are more of them. There needs to be serious reform on wireless radiation. This is our generation's carcinogenic problem.
Thank you very much for this initiative! Here is my story. I live in a house in Edegem (Antwerp area), Flanders, Belgium, and since more than 20 years there are mobile phone antennas on appartment buildings at approximately 150 meters from my house. The amount of antennas is constantly increasing (as can be observed visually and is also stated in their legal documents), new constructions are being put for extra antennas and the amount of radiation is increasing as well, year by year (I have regularly verified this with measurements). There is 2G, 3G, 4G and now also 5G present. At some places in my house the amount of radiation reaches over 2,000 μW/m2 and in my garden it reaches 10,000 μW/m2. This is below the Flemish/Belgian 'safety norm', but far too high according to independent scientists and building biologists. Since the antennas have been put there, the following health problems have appeared in my family: one person got dementia (already deceased now), one person got womb cancer, which came back 2 times, and she had to undergo severe operations, one person got pancreas cancer at a terminal stage (about to die now), I feel often tired and depressed and our dog got severe epilepsy attacks (already deceased now) at a frequency and intensity that the vets hadn't seen anywhere before. We do not have any family history of these deseases, all other family members living in different places are quite healthy. Moving away is not an option for us, unfortunately. There are also other cases of cancer and young dementia present in the nearby area. All this makes us believe that there is an almost certain link with the mobile phone antennas. I have done effort and will continue trying to convince local and federal politicians to reconsider the safety standards, so that neither we nor anyone else goes through this. I hope this information is useful to you, so that public health can be protected from these dangerous technologies.
My wife's symptoms began in January of 2021 after discovering we were both exposed to a large amount of EMFs for a long time. Her symptoms began with a bad face rash. We found the source by using a meter, and we eliminated it, but by summertime, she became sensitive and had severe migraines from exposure to every source of EMFs, including 4G and 5G antennas, cell phones, routers, microwaves (if not properly sealed, which many are not), our electric stove even, and radio towers, etc.
At the beginning, she would react within seconds of exposure. She was hospitalized once for the pain for 3 days. Now, on top of every hospital, there is a 5G tower, and next to every doctor's office, or even on doctors' offices, there are 5G antennas. My wife has a hard time finding a doctor that she can go to, and there's only one single hospital that she can go to because the 5G antennas are across the street and not on top of the hospital. Hospitals obviously have the antennas on top of them to make money. Hospitals should be focused on healing, not making money. 5G antennas need to be removed from all hospital buildings. The science on all of this has been established for decades. Go look at the book "Overpowered" by Martin Blank, PhD, whose research will show you that he began as a skeptic.
She tells me that where she grew up, it was not allowed to build homes within a certain distance of high-tension power lines (this was announced in the news multiple times) because it was known to be hazardous to human health. Here in New Jersey, they build homes directly next to high-tension power lines. She's also sensitive to those sorts of EMFs as well.
We used to be able to go on vacation, especially when 4G was in place, but now that 5G is everywhere, we have not been able to go on vacation for several years.
We have to pay extra every month to not have a smart meter on our home, but if /when we move, having a smart meter on our home will be a serious issue for my wife's health. What we hear is that when people have these smart issues installed. So many people had developed insomnia as soon as these meters were installed, and some people were able to have them taken off. As soon as they were taken off, their insomnia went away. That makes perfect sense to us.
There needs to be 1) acknowledgement that this problem actually does exist. 2) track people who have recovered and find out every method they used to fully recover. There are multiple pathways, so document all of them. And collect it all under one resource that is made publicly available to every doctor and easily found on a website. 3) scour the internet and every tiny corner for alternative doctors or alternative methods that have helped people with these issues. They do exist. Because the mainstream medicine cannot help. Mainstream medicine only treats the symptoms (if they take their patients seriously), but an alternative doctor or alternative methods look at the root problem.
