I entered into a lease agreement to have a 5G tower built very near my home. My neighbors objected citing health concerns. I felt at the time they were probably jealous that they didn't get the lease on their farms.Fast forward 10 years and the utility company is proposing a massive 765kv/161kv powerline to be built in front of my home. I have researched myself the safety issues this would cause to my family. No precedent has been set or law made to restrict either of those to my home. But I do know that being sandwiched between the two would be dangerous. I know my circumstance is unique but in this country how could there not be setbacks from dwellings.
From 2019 to 2023, I lived in a 3rd story apartment where I was unkowingly exposed to high chronic levels of emf.
My husband and I moved there in 2019. Later that year, I started having inexplicable exhaustion, inflammation and body aches which have been worsening progressively while living there, despite me getting various therapies and lifestyle and dietary improvements. We also had unexplained infertility.
In 2022, I decided to get an EMF meter. My husband and I were surprised to measure very high levels of radiation in specific zones that resembled 'beams' cutting through our apartment, even when our wifi was powered off. Certain locations in our living room where we worked from home, and the kitchen where we spend a lot of time cooking, were registering levels of radiation that were far above the normal threshold.
In 2023, my husband was walking home and noticed a discreetly hidden cell tower in the parking lot a couple blocks from our apartment. He noticed that the positioning of the tower correlated uncannily to the angle of the beams in our apartment, entering from the side where we have a large glass patio balcony door. We think we have finally found the culprit for the ridiculous levels of emf we had been chronically exposed to, along with many other residents who may be suffering unknowingly because of it.
At that time, I reached out to the city to ask who authorized the tower location and height, but received a response that they have very little regulatory control over it.
I am so glad we are finally looking into this at a federal level. Can we better regulate the companies to require actual research proving the required clearances to avoid health effects? Can we also require ongoing monitoring since this is a new technology and start getting some longer term studies?
Though we had lived in that area for many years and enjoyed its quiet and safe community, this issue has been so harmful to our health and quality of life that we decided to move out because of it. In 2024, I received laproscopic diagnosis for stage 4 endometriosis and adenomyosis. Looking back, I wish I didn't live in that apartment, or knew earlier so I could have moved out.
Now I am living in a new place with a lot less EMF exposure. I do not get the chronic headaches or fatigue that I used to feel in that apartment. I am on the journey to recovering and feeling better.
For the health and wellbeing of all US residents and citizens, please scrutinize the health impacts of these cell towers on the surrounding community. The proper location and height of these towers is so critical to the health of so many that could be impacted.
I can hear a high pitched buzzing sound that gives me headaches with a 5G tower outside my window. After I pointed it out to other people they can hear it too. I was wondering why my first words when I was 2 years old was “big tower”. I could only imagine what we are being subjected to and how it’s affecting our bodies.
I was wondering why my first words as a child was “big tower”.
I didn't have thyroid or other health problems until the local utility company put a 5G tower in my front yard in Denver, Colorado. It was pushed through without public comment or input during the pandemic. The sub and sub-sub contractors didn't have a permit to use a boring machine in my front yard. The door flyer left on my door had a phone number that went to nowhere. The whole thing was so fake. I hope municipalities and telecom companies are held liable for the damage they've done to people and animals alike.
I am an individual consumer attesting that I suffered from insomnia, anxiety and heart palpitations before I started turning off my phone and my wifi at night. If I travel and cannot turn off wifi the symptoms reappear. My mom lives by a cell tower. When she stays at my house for over one week her insomnia and anxiety dissppear.
I am so grateful this serious health threat is finally being brought to light. I have suffered from wireless radiation exposure symptoms for over 15 years. I have learned to adapt by having a hard-wired home and very limited use of a cell phone, kept in airplane mode 99% of the time. But the number of towers that are appearing in close proximity to my home has made things worse again for me.
When inside a computer store, I experience a disturbing wave like sensation through my head.
I also experience headaches when near or passing cell towers.
My teenage granddaughter complains of headaches in a classroom full of computers and fluorescent lights.
I don’t have any sort of proof but I developed tinnitus suddenly when 5G technology went public. It literally happened at the same time. There are times that the sound increases like someone is turning up the volume and it causes me to get dizzy from it.
I'm so glad you are asking for comments, I worry so much about my health, the administrative agencies in place to help me ensure my best health outcomes, and the concept of the scientific method. If these frequencies are truly harmful, their effects should be measurable and repeatedly so. I am willing to help build out a study design for $200,000 per anum plus benefits. I have some experience with R and ArcGIS can think a regression model would be an interesting way to approach distance from things like cell towers to incidence of negative health outcomes. I have done countless literature reviews at this point in my life would be well equipped to analyze and interpret the data that I'm sure is already out there, as well. I'm sure your "research" is eager to add a healthy amount of academic skeptism and realism to it and I feel like I have a lot to offer. I think the skill set I bring is strongly in line with the meritocratic bent this administration has taken. Because this is a public comment, I will leave it to my NSA agent to violate my God-given right to privacy and give you my info if you would like to pursue my offer.
I believe I was affected by EMF in 2020 when a 5G tower was turned on in October of that year. I was affected by having my first POTS flair. I had been living with Bluetooth speakers, WiFi around the clock and cell phone radiation before this without a problem. I was extremely sick after they turn in the tower. . I was weak, having neurological symptoms , gastrointestinal symptoms , AFib with RVR and many other symptoms. I left the house and stayed with a friend two blocks away, since the tower was placed 60 feet from my home, to see if that would make a difference in my recovery. 5 days later I was able to stand and walk around the house. I had been bed bound before due to weakness. Then returned after two weeks to my home to gather things and within 30 min I could feel the energy begin to be depleted again. I left the house after 30 min and it took another 2 days to recover. I eventually moved back home where there were no 5G towers isolated myself in a homemade faiday room for 6 months and was able to return to normal life again. This forced me out of my home, into a friends, then later to another state for my healths sake. I was formal diagnosed with A MD in Santa monica with EMF sensitivity from tower.
