Towers & siting

Last Dec 20 25 our neighborhood learned they were going to put up a 54 foot cell tower at the entrance of an established 200 plus home neighbor hood. We had one week to contest and they passes it on chiristmas eve. it’s a know fact it causes cancer and I am sensitive to these EMF frequencies and had to remove the smart metter from my house. I’ve lived here for 26 years and now I will,have to move. Reno Nevada our city council is so corrupt!

I am submitting this comment as an individual who has experienced severe and life-changing health problems that I associate with exposure to electromagnetic fields, particularly radiofrequency (RF) radiation from wireless devices. My sensitivity to wireless radiation began approximately four years ago. Gradually, I noticed that exposure to devices emitting wireless signals appeared to trigger or significantly worsen symptoms similar to those associated with fibromyalgia, including physical pain, exhaustion, and a profound reduction in my ability to function both physically and mentally. At the time, I was living in Paris and working in the IT industry, which meant that I was surrounded by wireless devices and exposed to multiple sources of RF radiation on a daily basis. Despite trying to reduce my exposure, I gradually became less and less able to cope with the demands of my professional life. I had to progressively reduce my working hours and responsibilities until I eventually reached a point where I could no longer work at all. Approximately two and a half years ago, I also had to leave Paris and move back in with my parents in the countryside in an attempt to improve my health, at age 30. Although my current living environment has significantly less wireless radiation than my previous one, exposure is far from absent, partly because there are mobile phone base stations in the village. My symptoms remain severe and have a devastating impact on my daily life. Whenever I have to leave the house or when other people use mobile phones inside the house, I experience a significant worsening of my symptoms. Conversely, I have noticed that spending time in quiet environments with very low levels of wireless radiation can bring some relief and allow me to recover a small degree of well-being. This observation has become one of the most important factors in my efforts to manage my condition. The consequences extend far beyond physical discomfort. I have lost my ability to work, I rarely see my friends anymore, and I am no longer able to participate in ordinary daily activities. Rather than truly living, I feel that I am merely surviving. This is particularly difficult because I desperately want to regain my health, return to work, become active again, and rebuild a reasonably normal life. Over the past four years, I have consulted dozens of doctors and healthcare practitioners, including practitioners working in alternative approaches. Unfortunately, none of the treatments I have tried has provided meaningful or lasting relief. So far, the most significant improvement I have experienced has come from being in quiet environments with very low levels of wireless radiation, and also having an healthy diet, cooking fresh and organic products helped me.

I did not consent, nor do I consent today, to the continuous, involuntary exposure to biologically active RF radiation. My injury from radio frequency radiation began in the 2010s when millimeter scanners were used for airport security. When I had to go through one, I would be bedridden the entire next day because my body couldn’t function from the radiation exposure. In 2016 when a router at work was installed on the outer wall above my desk, I was disabled with heart palpitations, headaches, dizziness, nausea, the top of my head felt as it the sun was burning the top of my brain and my body was overwhelmed with feeling as if a weighted blanket had been thrown over me. The router had to be removed. When cell towers were built, they harmed me with stabbing pain through my head and neck, palpitations, headache and dizziness. I would have to alter my driving route to avoid them. Since the 2020s when their numbers were significantly increased, they are impossible to avoid. I have the same harmful symptoms when driving past them. On July 8, 2024 when smart meters were installed in my neighborhood, the harm from the pulse-modulated RF radiation (the worst kind) was great. I suffered debilitating harm. I immediately was impacted by the pulsed radiation with off kilter balance, body heaviness, whole body weakness, stabbing pain in temples, head squeezing sensation, weak thighs and hips with great pain so it was difficult to walk, palpitations, chest heaviness, headache and nausea, blood from sinuses, interrupted sleep, extreme tiredness, difficulty concentrating, tinnitus and worsening of tremor disease. https://www.americansforresponsibletech.org/_files/ugd/2cea04_bc6229ea88e040d98aa9bf2eced35134.pdf My home is no longer my safe sanctuary. I have no wireless devices in my home. Everything is hardwired. I have a cell phone which I only turn on and check once or twice a day. My home is invaded by the constant exposure to the radio frequency radiation and pulse-modulated RF radiation from smart meters, cell towers and neighbor’s routers. I used to walk through the neighborhood a lot for exercise. Now it is too harming to me with all of the smart meter radiation to do so. I have turned off all wireless controls in my vehicle. Travel is difficult due to cell towers everywhere. They cannot be avoided when driving. Hotels and vacation rentals have RF radiation devices in them and there are cell towers on or near the buildings. Airplanes are filled with radiation and seatmates use RF producing devices during flights. There are even shelves on airplane seatbacks for the RF devices to rest on behind the heads of the person sitting in front of it to expose them to device radiation. There is no escaping the harm and injury of radio frequency radiation and pulse-modulated RF radiation. My physicians have no remedy for me. My sister is also affected in the same ways. This submission represents her as well. Those of us with EMR syndrome are the canaries in the mine shaft. We become immediately injured from exposure to the radiation. That does not mean there is no harm to everyone else. All are exposed to unsafe levels of radiation from all wireless devices. Everyone’s health is injured by it. My quality of life and health have been tremendously harmed by the constant exposure to the radio frequency radiation and pulse-modulated RF radiation. There are untold numbers of us who live in constant disability and pain from the radio frequency radiation and pulse-modulated RF radiation. There needs to be ADA accommodations for those of us with EMR Syndrome. The exposure levels need to be dramatically reduced and there needs to be radio frequency radiation and pulse-modulated RF radiation free areas of the country for us to live in. EMR Syndrome is the easiest disability to reverse and heal. As you work to protect the health of all Americans, please reverse this disabling situation. Please support safe technology that allows us to communicate without harm to anyone. It has also been my observation that in the past several years with more cell towers erected in the area and smart meters installed, there are fewer and fewer birds and bees. https://www.bemri.org/publications/wildlife-and-plants/wildlife/1-birds-bees-and-mankind/file https://www.americansforresponsibletech.org/_files/ugd/2cea04_63cd657e2ebc493dbc3cf4a92044f2ba.pdf Thank you for your help. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. October 15, 2026.

I am a smart meter survivor. I also live in Rockwall Texas where they are basically frying us half to death! Until I moved here five years ago, I was in perfect Health! I have lost my dream home to sell towers due to my health issues connected to living within 2 miles from 70 cell towers and antennas. The smart meter was located on the other side of the wall from my head from my bedroom which destroyed my health and my life. Within a year and a half of living in that new home, I experienced hair loss almost a complete loss of my eyesight, extreme heart, palpitations, weight loss and was diagnosed with pre-cancer! I was able to remove the smart meters due to our state fortunately having a quote, opt out option” to switch it out, but by the time I knew this was possible it wouldn’t have made any difference because even an analog electric meter should never be on the other side of the wall from your head due to electrical magnetism! Within two years more towers were added here with ZERO monitoring of tower levelsand it began to affect my heart health again! We submitted the story on the Rockwall Facebook page where we received hundreds of messages from people experiencing the same issues to the point that they banned my friend and I from the Rockwall Facebook page! The situation is very real and it is injuring us and thank you so much for allowing the American people to have a voice! This has permanently damaged my health as I’ve lost my ability to tolerate high levels of electromagnetic fields, which basically means I have to live on the edge of town now! 6-G may be the end of me yet!

Hello, my name is Rosa. My children and I are victims of these technological psychotronic weapons. They use 5G antennas and cell towers to direct radio frequencies, electromagnetic waves, radiation, and microwaves straight at our brains, organs, bodies, and skin. I live in the city of Baldwin Park, California, and my home has become an electromagnetic field; I am subjected to these frequencies constantly, day and night. My body—my face, my brain, and my entire frame—shakes as a result of these attacks. My face and arms are burned, and my skin has been destroyed by this radiation; it feels like my skin is on fire. I find myself hiding inside my own home just to protect myself from these weaponized attacks. Please, help us! These antennas, towers, and satellites are using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and even household appliances to target us—please, put an end to this madness!

They are frying us maybe put copper on the tower or silver thread to lower emf exposure

I am a substitute teacher with 13 years of experience working with mostly elementary students. Since returning to subbing in 2022, I have witnessed emotional breakdowns at every age on EVERY OCCASION Students now wear head phones all day long in some classes due to the constant humming coming from the WiFi installed in each school. It should be noted that many elementary schools have 5G towers directly across the street from their buildings.

My wife and I purchased our home last year, only to discover that a large cellular tower is located directly at the corner of our backyard, towering over our home and standing less than 30 yards from our back door. Power lines also extend over our driveway, raising additional concerns about the proximity of electrical infrastructure to our living space. My wife and our two-year-old daughter spend a significant amount of time at home, as we have chosen not to use daycare. As a husband and father, I believe it is my responsibility to ensure that our home is a safe environment for my family. Since moving in, my family has experienced recurring health concerns, including multiple episodes of fever and coughing for which medical testing has not provided clear explanations. My wife has also experienced low energy and difficulty keeping up with normal daily activities. I recognize that these symptoms can have many causes, and I am not claiming that the nearby tower has been proven responsible. However, given its extremely close proximity to our home, I believe it is reasonable to ask whether our environment has been adequately evaluated. We have taken the initiative to have our home tested for mold, electromagnetic fields (EMF), and radiofrequency (RF) exposure. While EMF readings were relatively low in most areas, they increased in our bonus room near the driveway side of the house. The RF results showed yellow-to-red readings throughout much of our home. I understand that these colors may represent the testing equipment's measurement ranges rather than established health-risk categories. Nevertheless, these results have raised serious questions about our actual exposure levels and how they compare with applicable safety standards. I respectfully request that the appropriate agencies conduct or facilitate an independent assessment of this tower and its proximity to nearby homes. Specifically, I ask that officials: Arrange professional EMF/RF testing at our property and other nearby residences, including bedrooms, living spaces, and outdoor areas, with documented measurements and comparisons to applicable exposure limits. Review current federal and state safety standards and explain how compliance is determined for towers located exceptionally close to occupied homes. Evaluate whether the tower's placement, less than 30 yards from our home, warrants additional assessment, safeguards, or corrective action. Consult qualified public health and environmental professionals to review residents' concerns, explain the available scientific evidence, and identify whether further investigation or monitoring is warranted. Consider evidence-based minimum setback requirements between cellular towers and occupied residences, schools, childcare facilities, and other locations where people spend extended periods. Make testing results, compliance records, and recommended actions available to the public, with a clear process for follow-up testing and remediation if concerns are identified. My concern is not simply that a tower is visible from our backyard. It is that significant telecommunications infrastructure is positioned extremely close to our home, and we lack the information necessary to feel confident that the potential exposure has been independently evaluated and that the placement is appropriate for a residential setting. This situation has also created financial and emotional stress for our family. We purchased our home expecting a safe environment in which to raise our daughter. Since then, we have invested time, money, and energy into environmental testing and trying to understand whether the conditions surrounding our property could be relevant to our family's health concerns. I appreciate the due diligence currently taking place and the opportunity to share these concerns through this survey. However, I sincerely hope this process does not end with collecting public feedback. Families deserve clear answers, independent assessments, and meaningful action if problems are identified. As a husband and father, my greatest concern is the health, safety, and future of my family. I hope our experience contributes to a broader discussion about responsible tower placement, residential safety, public accountability, and whether current policies adequately protect communities living exceptionally close to cellular infrastructure. Thank you for your time and consideration. I pray these concerns will not be swept under the rug once the survey concludes, but will lead to a thorough investigation, transparent findings, and meaningful action where warranted. Sincerely, A Concerned Citizen Heath Grishaw United States

Hello. My name is Susan Mathis. I live in Beaufort-by-the -Sea, North Carolina. I believe that I have been harmed by EMF outside my apartment. 4 years ago I had unexplained oain in my jaw. Naturally, I thought it was just a bad tooth. After several dentist visits and a doctor visit ( I had no insurance at the time) it was determined that the is a piece of metal in my jaw. No one knows where it came from. Dentists don't want to touch it. Doctors couldn't decide. So I let it go when the pain subsides. However, I understand EMF enough. Where they keep adding and adding to the 5G towers right outside my apartment door, I am concerned. Thank You.

We do not consent, we do not support wireless frequency. My personal experience reflects a better life experience in health, sleep when I unplug it for several days. This frequency is deleterious to health and well being, just as microwave frequency is terrible for your health and the hundreds of thousands of birds it kills yearly that fly under cell towers emitting destructive frequencies.
