Towers & siting

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. When WiFi became popular I was onboard. Shortly afterward I noticed that I no longer felt well on an every day basis. After doing extensive research I discovered that the radiation from WiFi and cellular phones use EMF radiation and is damaging to humans, animals, bees and plants, and every progression, from 3G to 4G and finally 5G (which uses millimeter waves, the same type of waves that are used by the military in their radar and microwave-based and wireless weapons) became more dangerous and more damaging to humans, animals, bees and plants. Once I eliminated the sources of EMF radiation in my home I began to fell better almost immediately and almost immediately my health improved. The industries that profit from this technology has always claimed that the technology was harmless without ever doing honest independent studies to prove what they were saying. The only studies that they quote was VERY HEAVILY and intensionally biased in their favor. When truly independent studies were finally done it debunked that biased studies and honestly and accurately proved that the EMF radiation was without a doubt harmful to humans, animals, bees and plants!!! It is long overdue to heavily regulate this technology and ban the placement of towers and other devices that capture and/or relay this EMF radiation within at least 500 feet of homes, schools and other buildings where people and animals are found and an IMMEDIATE ban and removal of ALL so called Smart Meters that have been installed where people and animals reside MUST be put in place!!! 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.

Ive been electro sensitive for almost 20 yrs ...I was super sensitive in 2013 when a ham radio guy moved in ...He his all his antennas in his attic n flagpole.. I ended up in hospital with a SED rate of 94 two months after he moved in then 3 weeks later back in hospital my adrenals completely crashed I almost died running out of cortisol ..I tried harmonizers to no avail then luckily I found one that worked ..I was fine for almost 10 yrs then the ham radio guy increased his power dramatically in Sept 2024, he was lying n saying he didn't but I found on a ham radio site in Sept 2024 just when I said something got really bad here he got new high tech long distance equipment ...I never felt any wireless device this strong..He leaves it on all day sometimes overnight on those days i leave my own house n sleeping my car in a parking lot somewhere.Others on other side both died after he increased his power so much.. My other neighbor across the street went from mild arthritis to severe arthritis 3 months after he increased his power,,,,He is not a responsible user cause its on 24/7 now most of the time,,Wee all obviously getting over exposed and for me it is pure torture..I cannot believe some ho hum citizen can possess that kind of power,,I didn't realize ham radio operators can possess 1500 watts of power whereas a cell tower is limited to 100watts in suburban areas ,,,There is no way a citizen with zero knowledge on health consequences shpould posses that type of power in a residential area ...I know it's effecting many here within a couple hundred ft of him Foe me its debilitating I cannot evebn be at my house more then a few hrs when its on and again he don't care he leaves it on continuosly most days its rare it's off Thanks Derek

Please use scientific guidelines for human health in refused to radio tower frequency, before, not after locating and constructing. The health of future generations is at risk.

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. There are simply too many EMF-producing antennas popping up around our city, state, and country without any idea of the potential harms they can cause us. Technology cannot trump human 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.

Canser striked as soon as 5g was installed on the nighbour bilding ... And why are they all located near kindergardens and achool is out of my mind...

I live in The Arena District in downtown Columbus, and there are all kinds of radiofrequency admitting antennas on the tops of buildings in the downtown. The exposure level outside on my 6th floor balcony is Extreme. The exposure level inside my condominium unit appears to be much lower, so it appears the construction materials of the building may be somewhat protective. I believe the building meets commercial construction standards. According to AntennaSearch Report, there are 41 Towers within 1.0 miles of 43215. The nearest tower is .24 miles away. Since I am inside most of the time, I have learned that the following things were increasing my RF exposure to either a High or Extreme level inside most areas of the condominium including radiofrequencies from the next-door neighbor's Wi-Fi and possibly other sources of RF coming through a shared wall into my bedroom. Also, the following items were being used in the condominium which contributed significantly to my exposure: -ROKU -Wi-Fi -a printer -a smart refrigerator -Alexa -a laptop computer and printer These measurements were confirmed by a Home EMF Assessment Report completed by Shielded Healing LLC. on 9/10/2020.

Hello, so my family and I have had the opportunity to live away from 5G and than again back into 5G. We were in an area for 3 years with 5G in our neighborhood. We had sicknesses often, and health issues constant. Whether it being sick as many times as every two months for sure we would get bugs and it would go through family. It was an older home so I figured that might have to do with it. We then moved into an area that has no 5G and surrounded by old growth trees. We all lived there for 1 year and through the worst bugs going through our schools and workplaces. We never got sick once in the whole year. Two winters…. Then we moved again to a new house back in 5G area. And we are now all getting sick constantly again. I would say more frequent. And bad sleeps. (Waking up so tired) We are now very close to a 5G box. And have seen direct correlation with our immunity and 5G. Our Immune system functions way better away from 5G. The house we were in when we moved away from 5G even had mold in it and dead animals behind the walls. That should have made us more sick. But it never. It was no sicknesses because we were far away from 5G. Also we only had one WiFi box in the house. At all times. But in the urban centers we are surrounded by neighbours with WiFi also… so that could be adding to it. But a huge difference when living urban with many signals compared to in an area that is away from signals, on our immunity…

I have had a continuous nonstop electrical sound hissing in my ears for 2 years now. (Tinnitus) I live about 2 blocks from a cell tower and live in a duplex with 5 adults on the other side of the wall using devices. I purchased a router cage and a block radiation case for my phone. With my living quarters I feel it’s a hopeless situation. I have noticed the further into the country side I go, it is significantly quieter. When I drive back to the city it increases again. It is hard to understand when people talk if there is other noise in the room. Thank you for investigating what is happening to the citizens of our country because of this radiation.

I believ I had negative health affects from wireless radiation. In late 2018, I had bloodwork done and the results came back "pristine", according to my doctor. In 2019, near the house I live in, a cell tower was put up, less than 500 feet away. Later that year, I tried to stand up from the couch, and could barely move. Every joint, bone and my head hurt severely. The pain didn't go away. Day in and day out, I had no appetite and started losing weight, unintentionally. I went to a naturopath who gave me supplements.Nothing we tried would relieve the pein. This went on for 8 or so months. Pain 24/7. My hair fell out in clumps and I had various skin eruptions. My skin felt like it was constantly burning. I recieved certain remedies from a homeopath. I do not recall what they were. One day, the pain was so bad, I truly thought I would die. I could barely walk. Gradually, the pain subsided. I got bloodwork done again, by a hematologist/oncologist, and she diagnosed me with a "rare" cancer, Multiple Myeloma. I decided not to go through their treatments and persue diet changes. 8 years later, I am still alive, but have skin rashed and hair falling out.

Since a tower has been placed within a mile of my home our ears are ringing, my garden will no longer produce vegetables and my overall health is declining for no other reason.
