Questions tower density and safety testing, especially near children, and raises cancer concerns.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
not enough testing was done on all these cell towers and radiation causing EMFs. they are everywhere, near schools, daycares, homes ! people spends their entire day right next to them and even sleep near them ! do we really need all these cell towers? what about the link to cancer ? and other health issues? stop prioritizing corporations over health !

Requests independent proximity and exposure studies to distinguish risk from speculation and favors publi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
There are quite a few opinions and wild conspiracy theories about wireless radiation, but not many factual independent studies on the health effects. The technology is going to keep getting better, so I think there needs to be independent studies. If the studies focus on distance (considering the inverse square) to devices, and how RF is similar to light, it might reduce some of the opinions and put the public at ease with the technology. Most devices are quite far away from people, so the theories are likely way off base. Conversely, many devices that are installed are close to occupants and are high power (with no check or sometimes even regulations), so they are most likely causing health danger - (smart meters next to beds, 5G cylinder street towers next to apartment windows, etc...); so a study done on proximity effects would be helpful. Ideally, with the exception of public health danger, education versus regulation would be preferred.

Calls for safer alternatives, exposure disclosure and informed consent, citing suspected neurological eff…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Like most Americans, I trusted our government to protect its citizens in rollouts involving wireless tech. Those days are over. Americans are being bombarded with damaging frequencies every single day and even in our own homes. No doctors recommend iodine supplementation to protect against the radiation of some of these frequencies. The cell towers are also speculated to generate some ELF causing neurological damage in some of the population. There needs to be safer alternatives. And the American public en masses needs to be made aware of what their current exposure is. There is no informed consent. Thank you.

Raises EMF and alleged atmospheric-spraying concerns, calls for removing wireless infrastructure and favo…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
4 years struggling with emf exposure in over 16 countries and almost 1000 Ecco villages. Lack of protection for cells to regenerate. Improper stations of high electromagnetic fields cause cell repair systems to fail. Spraying of toxic heavy metals and micro machinery in global atmospheres causes deadly effects operating as self replicating networks within bodies and towers combined. Healer and conductor of ecovillage development globally. Please remove as many towers as possible. Remove satellites above USA lands. Well globally better. Remove wifi everywhere. And utilize lower band frequencies for messaging. Move towards working with light based technologies that are new and innovative to improve health and well being. Inhibit any spraying above skies including all commercial planes. Educate about heavy metal eradication. Micro machinery eradication. And completely remove any new developments in higher frequency band Thanks so much. Sorry for the short and quick text. Longstanding expert in this field. Love to see this work improving. All the love, Mr chance.

Attributes insomnia, headaches, brain fog and palpitations to smart meters and towers.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Ever since the installation of the smart meter on my house, I have severe insomnia! With all the 5g towers it has only gotten worse! Symptoms are headaches, brain fog, fatigue and heart palpitations! This is detrimental to our health and well being! Let’s get back to more basic concepts that improve health, nature and lifestyle instead! On our current trajectory we are destroying not advancing our planet and humanity! Let’s use our abilities for the good of all!

Calls for tighter regulation of 5G tower power and siting.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
5G towers have been proven unsafe and should be regulated in where they are and how powerful they can be. they literally make people sick with the EMF’s they put off and the benefits don’t not outweigh the damage they create.

Expresses concern that wireless signals passing through physical obstacles may harm people.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Communications between two distant physical devices on wireless platform streams through strong magnetic waves. Infrared connection though wireless is partially disrupted when there is a physical medium in between, this points to the fact that, their magnetic communication is blocked. Areas where there are taller buildings and skyscrapers often experience network interruptions due to the blockage of communication by the physical structures. Therefore, strong and fast wireless communication being experience as a faster rate even after observing many physical blockages is a very serious problem that needs to be addressed as many human beings in this conversation used perceived as physical blockages has a serious impact on our lives. Thanks.

Describes extensive family symptoms after moving near towers and using indoor Wi-Fi, mitigation attempts …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment as a private citizen and parent documenting our family’s multi-year experiences with symptoms that temporally correlate with increased exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from mobile devices, home hotspots (MiFi), Wi-Fi networks, surveillance cameras, and proximity to cellular infrastructure. These observations are offered to assist HHS in evaluating real-world health experiences associated with RF/EMF exposure, particularly among families and potentially vulnerable individuals. Our family previously lived for three years in Astoria, Oregon, without nearby cell towers and without a continuous home hotspot. During that period we experienced none of the symptoms described below and no longer required pain-management care. We also lived earlier at Mile 10 of Eagle River Road in Alaska, again without close cellular infrastructure, and similarly reported nearly none of the same issues. In August 2024 we moved into an apartment in Anchorage, Alaska, located approximately three blocks from two cell towers (one AT&T and one believed to be Verizon) at 7th Avenue and Karluk Street. Concurrently, our household has used mobile devices, an iPad, and a home MiFi hotspot. The apartment building also maintains seven surveillance cameras connected to continuous basement Wi-Fi whose signals reach our unit day and night. Since relocating, multiple family members have developed new or markedly worsened symptoms that improve under specific exposure-reduction conditions and worsen under higher-exposure conditions. All relevant medical evaluations (bloodwork, emergency-room assessments) have returned normal results, including statements that my cardiac findings appear among the healthiest the treating physicians have seen. Observed Symptoms and Correlations * Sleep disruption and nightmares: Frequent awakenings (sometimes several times per night) occur if phones are not placed in airplane mode. Nightmares intensify without a silver-infused beanie and appear more pronounced once permanent winter snow cover is present. Silver-infused bed sheets and a grounding mat with ground-plug connection have provided partial relief. * Headaches: My wife experiences significant headaches that began after the move and proximity to the towers. * Blood-pressure elevation and chest pain: Both my wife and I experience elevated blood pressure and chest pain, especially in later winter months, or when the home hotspot lacks aluminum-foil shielding properly directed away from the core living area. Emergency evaluations yield normal cardiac bloodwork. * Cognitive and mood effects in a child: After extended iPad use, our son exhibits mood swings, severe forgetfulness of simple information, confusion, and frustration. A silver-infused beanie reduces these symptoms when worn. * Pain, body aches, and brain fog: These symptoms led both adults to resume care with a pain-management physician after years without such treatment. Symptoms lessen when the building’s basement Wi-Fi and cameras are offline. * Menstrual irregularities: My wife, in perimenopause, experiences cycles that can last a full month; laboratory bloodwork remains normal. * Seasonal and environmental modifiers: Symptoms intensify with continuous snow cover and diminish under reduced RF exposure (airplane mode, shielding, offline Wi-Fi). We have implemented multiple mitigation and health-support measures: silver-infused beanies and bed sheets, aluminum-foil shielding of the hotspot, a grounding mat, dietary avoidance of artificial sweeteners, gelatins, and processed beef/pork, regular use of ZeroWater filters, upgraded bath and shower filters designed to remove heavy metals, chlorine, chemicals, and fluoride, and supplements (silica, sea moss, oregano oil, etc.) intended to support heavy-metal clearance. Despite these steps, the listed symptoms persist in correlation with RF/EMF sources. Symptoms were largely absent in residences without nearby cell towers and continuous high-level indoor wireless sources. Symptoms appeared or intensified after moving within three blocks of two cell towers and into a building with continuous basement Wi-Fi-linked cameras. Temporary reductions in exposure (airplane mode, shielding, offline Wi-Fi) produce measurable short-term improvement in sleep, pain, blood pressure, and cognitive clarity. Medical work-ups consistently return normal laboratory and cardiac findings, leaving the temporal and exposure-linked patterns unexplained by conventional diagnostic results. I request that HHS consider these documented family observations - alongside clinical reports from other citizens and healthcare providers - when assessing the state of the evidence on RF/EMF health effects, potential research gaps and the adequacy of current exposure guidelines for real-world, multi-source environments. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Reports family nosebleeds, cognitive symptoms and rashes near power lines and towers.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
This is great I have been wanting to say something for years. After moving in with my now husband about 9 years ago things started getting weird. He lives by the power lines and 3 huge towers. The nosebleeds were significantly high with my twins. But it wasn't until 5g was out that I noticed a huge change. Mental fog. Teeth decay. Weird spots on our skin. Rashes that match with radiation poisoning. Symptoms that mask as other things. "Allergies" etc.
