A retired police-department audio worker reports persistent vibration sensations and sound sensitivity at…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello. I worked for the Boston Police dept for 35 years. 38 of which I was in charge of preparing audio tapes/ CD’s for investigations and court process Over the years with advanced technology and working daily on radio recording equipment left me feeling a constant vibration in my body. I am extremely sensitive to most sounds including the “hissing” sound of having the tv on. I retired 1/3/25 and things are much better for me but the EMF from being around this equipment as well as the proximity of the tower to the building and my office has impacted me beyond belief. I could be sitting having a cup of tea no issues and feel the vibration and audio sound at any time. So glad that you are researching this. I thought I was losing my mind at one point. This is a true effect. Thank You !

Requests studies, facts and informed consent concerning tower installations and population exposure.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been wanting the answers to these questions for many years. There is so much proof around us but yet where are the studies and informed consent with putting all of these towers around us? And that’s just barely scratching the surface of how and what is affecting the population. We need to know the facts.

Describes cancers among neighbors near a substation, transmission lines and towers and requests investiga…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I would like to know if there’s an increased cancer rate for those people living near electric transmission lines and substations. Also, if there is a risk living near cell phone towers, I live near the Southern California Edison Serrano substation in Orange California where there is a 500 kW transmission line. This substation is still expanding and transmits power 30 miles south to San Onofre, California. There are also several cell phone towers in the same area near our community. In the past few years, I have noticed that several neighbors have died of cancer and many more are coming down with cancer. None of these neighbors smoked and most were very health-conscious. Please investigate as to whether EMFs are causing cancer.

Reports family symptoms after moving near a tower and plans to relocate; raises concerns about cancer pat…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am 36, married and have 3 young kids. We moved into a townhome with a cell tower right across the street about 3 months ago. Since that time, we have noticed an array of symptoms in our family- anxiety, numbness and tingling, trouble sleeping, chest pains, and trouble breathing. I am apart of multiple support groups and I cannot tell you how many people have talked about a cancer diagnosis after living or working close to one of these cell towers. We plan to move in a couple weeks. We as a nation have to acknowledge that unfortunately we are not winning the war on cancer. We have to look at what has changed in the last 10+ years? No more land lines, cell phones in EVERYONE’S pocket, 5G towers popping up left and right, WiFi and Bluetooth EVERYWHERE. Please do research, study these devices and technology and how they impact cells. Find places where multiple people suddenly start receiving cancer diagnosis and look at their environment. THANK YOU, truly, for bringing light to this situation, I’m praying there will be regulations and changes <3

Reports progressive disabling illness while working beneath a rooftop tower, loss of a career and perceiv…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
For six years I worked on the bottom floor of a three story building that had a cell phone tower installed on the roof. I developed a mystery illness that progressively got worse to where I lost my ability to function, sleep, think and my career. My lifestyle was just work, gym 3x a week 3 meals a day & shopping/chores on the weekends. Nothing crazy but losing a career at 47 is devastating, living in poverty and afraid of doctors. I also live very close to a big shopping mall when I drive by it my radio starts to squeal from the signals. I actually feel better when I leave home but it's a vicious circle because I mostly feel too sick to leave. Thank you so much for looking into this. We are experiencing death by a thousand cuts and this weapon needs to be monitored and/or removed.

Attributes anxiety, depression and insomnia to towers, requests their removal, and expresses uncertainty …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I want these towers taken down! When I’m around them for too long I have anxiety, depression, irritability, insomnia. I’ve spoken to my family and they have similar thoughts and experiences! Im hearing 6g is going to be to control the human mind. I don’t know if that’s true but if so it’s a huge human rights violation. Do something as soon as possible.

Highlights proximity, intensity and duration of tower exposure and attributes family symptoms and pet dea…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
When it comes to cellphone and microwave towers the three main factors that affect human health are: 1. Proximity. 2. Intensity. 3. Duration. Proximity: How close you are to the tower both horizontally and vertically. Intensity: The number and types of transmitters on the tower. Duration: How long you are in the area of the tower. The cellphone tower has recently significantly increased, with 5G transmitters added to the tower. My wife and I have experienced numerous physical problems resulting in symptoms like headaches, difficulty sleeping, excessive thirst and other problems. We are also concerned about the health of our neighbors, particularly those with children and grandchildren. Several pets, ours and neighbors', have also suffered unexplained fatal symptoms.

Reports a breast lump at a location used to carry a phone, describes monitoring and stopping that practic…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I experienced exposure from my cell phone in my bra. I used my bra as a storage place to listen to music while I exercised. I always put it in the same pocket whether I was working in the garden or biking over a three month period of time. I had healthy breast tissue and after three months of doing this four or five times a week for an hour at a time, I developed a lump in my breast directly under the place that I stored my phone. I had a mammogram and multiple evaluations done over one and a half year time window to make sure it was not growing and becoming larger and immediately stopped putting my cell phone in that location. Removing the phone from that location may have been the primary reason the growth did not get larger. At the time I was in my late 20s. I would like to see further research on cell phone towers, near businesses, churches, and schools and the effect, as well as phones in pockets against the body.
