Reports EMF sensitivity with numbness, tinnitus and headaches, improvement after moving to an area withou…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I discovered I was EMF sensitive 5 years ago, after experiencing hand numbness, ringing in my ears, a sensation of water in my ears, brain fog and headaches after being on or around a cell phone. The sensation would last for hours after the exposure. I am a 31yo female and otherwise healthy. I stopped using WiFi and my cellphone. When people would come over I could feel their phone instantly even when it was not calling or streaming - instant ringing in my ears being the first sign. We moved to a neighborhood without 5G towers three years ago and now I do not feel people's cell phones near me and no longer need to ask people to turn them off to walk into my home. I am concerned that 5G has magnified the radiation people are exposed to on a daily basis.

Attributes tinnitus, headaches and other symptoms to nearby towers, alleges directed-energy and weather-r…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
In the last few years as I am out and about in my area of rural central Pennsylvania, I can’t help but notice “Wi-Fi” towers springing up in the beautiful mountains to the very yards of not so distant neighbors. I happen to know these towers are also known as “Directed Energy Weapons” and that is exactly what I think they are. As they have closed in on my neighborhood I can’t help but notice a regular ringing in my ears and frequent headaches now. A white thick haze of clouds just conveniently always being formed and directed around these towers. Even when my weather app says full sun tbere will be the strangest grid pattern stretching out in a very unnatural manner. I’m sure these towers have nothing to do with that though. I am sick of every where I go I have a huge ugly tower towering over me and my family whether I’m driving out to run errands at the store or going down the road to a post office. They are everywhere and yet I don’t remember consenting to them. Their reach is far and wide and have noticed a dramatic effect on myself especially with the ringing of the ears, brain fog, trouble concentrating, mood swings, headaches, and who knows what else long term. I also do not understand how I have to get permission from a township to add on to my house but Jane doe down the road can agree to allow a “tower” in her yard and I have no right to counter that. By the way do these people know the dangers of being in such proximity to these towers. It seems they do not as I would be absolutely horrified to be subjected to the health risks these towers cause. It seems there is no transparency with these towers and no regulations as they are quite literally everywhere and that to me tells me there are not regulations that are there to protect the people. And no I do not notice better cell reception so i do not buy the Wi-Fi lie. Regulate these monstrosities please. And regulate the distance they need to be from civilians and I do believe the ones that break those regulations should be removed immediately. Thank you.

Reports sleep, immune and other health problems after moving between towers and describes cancers and ill…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My fanily and I moved to a neighborhood in Wylie,TX in July 2013 which was sandwiched between an array of 5 radio towers and a 4G cell phone tower. Within 9 months, it affected my ability to sleep. I developed a systemic fungal infection, muscle spasms, bacterial infections and eventually my immune system shut down. I developed severe food allergies to almost everything. Tinnitus was constant. Hypothyroidism. Several of our neighbors developed cancers of various sorts, autoimmune issues, and many other health-related problems. An unusual amount of cancer/health issues for a small neighborhood.

Proposes keeping 5G and later-generation towers away from residential and long-occupancy areas as a cance…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
For the topic of 5g wireless towers, 5-G towers seem to only have a major health effects to people living within a mile of the nearest tower. If I were to recommend a regulation maybe push for a regulation to where 5g or higher towers must not be built in residential areas or anywhere humans are going to remain for a large period of time. 5g towers can reach far and a square mile of distance would do wonders in cancer prevention. We can move toward the future while maintaining our health.

Requests tower removal and greater transparency about exposure risks and public participation.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Finally! These towers need to be removed. I did not vote for them to be installed and the danger to our health with these towers was never put out to the people. WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT TRANSPARENCY AND TRUTH.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Subject: Public Comment on RF/EMF Exposure and the Need for Stronger Public Health Protections Docket: HHS-OASH-2026-0397 I am submitting this comment as a concerned American citizen who believes our government must protect human health, future generations, and the environment from potentially harmful electromagnetic and radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure. I am deeply concerned about the expansion of cell towers, 5G infrastructure, wireless transmitters, and smart meters that contribute to continuous, involuntary RF exposure. Americans should not be subjected to increasing environmental exposure without rigorous, independent evidence establishing long-term safety. 1. Scientific Evidence of Potential Harm Substantial published research identifies potential biological effects associated with RF radiation. National Toxicology Program (2018): This major U.S. government investigation reported clear evidence of carcinogenic activity involving malignant heart schwannomas in male rats exposed to certain cell phone RF signals. Researchers also identified other tumor findings. https://doi.org/10.22427/NTP-TR-595 Ramazzini Institute (2018): This independent study investigated long-term RF exposure representative of cell tower emissions and reported increased heart schwannomas among male rats at the highest exposure level. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envres.2018.01.037 Hardell and Carlberg (2015): Researchers reported associations between prolonged wireless phone use and increased glioma risk, particularly with longer latency periods. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25466607/ These findings warrant further independent investigation rather than dismissal. 2. Outdated Safety Standards Federal RF exposure standards have not adequately kept pace with modern wireless technology or continuous exposure from multiple overlapping sources. Safety assessments must address cumulative exposure, long-term biological effects, and potential nonthermal effects. In 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals found that the FCC had failed to adequately explain its treatment of evidence concerning non-cancer effects, children, long-term exposure, and environmental impacts. https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/cadc/20-1025/20-1025-2021-08-13.html 3. Stronger Restrictions on Wireless Infrastructure I urge federal officials to substantially strengthen restrictions on cell tower placement, density, and emissions, particularly near homes, schools, hospitals, and agricultural land. I specifically request: 1. Independent reassessment of federal RF exposure limits using current research and cumulative exposure measurements. 2. Stricter tower-siting and emission standards near residential communities and sensitive locations. 3. Independent RF monitoring with publicly accessible results. 4. Long-term research concerning children, pregnant women, and vulnerable populations. 5. Investment in wired telecommunications and lower-emission alternatives. 6. Greater community involvement in tower placement decisions. 7. Investigation of potential effects on livestock, wildlife, pollinators, and ecosystems. 4. Industry Accountability and Independent Research Research establishing public safety standards must be transparent, reproducible, and free from undue commercial influence. I request disclosure of industry funding, conflicts of interest, unpublished findings, and underlying research data used in federal safety assessments. Studies identifying potential biological harm deserve serious evaluation regardless of commercial interests. 5. Public Health Must Come First Technological convenience and economic development should not automatically outweigh legitimate public health concerns. I support substantial reductions in unnecessary RF exposure, stricter wireless infrastructure limits, independent testing, and a precautionary approach wherever important safety questions remain unresolved. The American public deserves transparency, meaningful choices concerning involuntary exposure, and safety standards based on comprehensive scientific evidence rather than assumptions. I urge HHS to fully evaluate the research and establish stronger protections for human health, future generations, animals, and the environment. Thank you for considering my comment.

Reports headaches resolving after moving away from towers while tinnitus persisted and proposes researchi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I lived on the center of the hypotenuse of an isosceles triangle of cell towers for approximately four years. During this time, I experienced daily headaches and tinnitus. Since moving in 10/24, the headaches have stopped and the tinnitus has persisted. Our bodies have not evolved sufficiently to function properly with constant signal bombardment. Exploring methods to mitigate the signals seems a fruitful path to pursue. A device that neutralizes the signals to our bodies without interfering with transmission would be valuable.

Asks about weaponization and hacking of infrastructure, cumulative neurological effects and ecological im…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Could these systems (5G towers, flock cameras, etc ) potentially be used as weapons or be hacked into by adversaries? These systems are being placed very close to schools. As well as in neighborhoods. It is highly concerning. More importantly, what is the over time accumulated effect on the nervous systems of humans exposed? Brian fog? Fatigue? Neurological disorder exacerbations? Psychological harm? What are these devices providing to the population of taxpaying, citizens and their offspring ? Is that service worth the potential health effects? We're we not productive enough of a society before 5G? In addition to human health, where does the natural environment that sustains us come into play, how are we making sure that the wildlife -flora and fauna are not being negatively affected?

Reports worsening headaches, brain fog and lethargy with nearby tower upgrades, describes sleeping elsewh…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I've lived here 20 years. I live right beside a sheriff department. When I moved here it was 4G. It is now 6G. I have increased headaches and extreme brain fog and lethargy with each increase. In 2 months I'm moving. I can't take this any longer. This might seem trivial to you but it's just exhausting. I even take my truck and go to different parking lots and sleep throughout the area to get away from living directly beside a cell tower. I have put Bodywell EMF chips on my phone which has helped, believe it or not. But I'm done with living here. I'm actually moving out of state.

Requests limits on public exposure and raises concerns about 5G deployment, liability and lack of public …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Please limit electromagnetic radiation to the American public! I am especially concerned about 5g, why it was essentially secreted into being with no public comment whatsoever and waiving all liability to these companies. Very curious indeed and scary too. Sadly it is back room maneuvers like this this that make me believe the government does not care about the citizens, their health, human rights, or their voice. Please do something to change my mind. Thank you, Nicole Glasser
