Effect of radiation on my body
I am a Spanish citizen, and I wish to bring visibility to an extreme reality that I and thousands of people in Spain live through every day: the chronic pain, social isolation, and institutional neglect resulting from Electrohypersensitivity (EHS), along with other Central Sensitization Syndrome conditions (Fibromyalgia, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity).
Since my youth, and subsequently alongside my late mother, I have suffered a continuous decline in health (severe fatigue, digestive disorders, headaches, brain fog, tinnitus, joint pain, among many other symptoms) strongly linked to exposure to wireless technologies (Wi-Fi, cell towers, DECT devices).
This condition has forced us into severe isolation. Living in our own home becomes extremely difficult, having to dodge the impact of fragrances, perfumes, fabric softeners, etc., not to mention the technological devices of any neighbor or visitor, making social life completely impossible. Added to this is the fact that it is impossible for us to change housing, as the massive proliferation of networks and cell towers in both urban and rural areas has completely eliminated "white zones" or emission-free spaces where we could take refuge—all without taking into account the unaffordable financial cost this would entail.
Because of all this, I see the imperative need to apply the precautionary principle and strictly regulate cell towers, as well as wireless devices (Wi-Fi networks, DECT phones, mobile phones, etc.).
It is essential to find solutions
I am submitting comment to express my concerns for myself and my family regarding wireless technology and telecommunication towers. Wireless technology and infrastructure having increased dramatically since the FCC current guidelines were placed in 1996. In depth and accurate studies have not been completed to see what the effects could be on the environment and human health. I personally have experienced extremely noticeable symptoms. I seem to be very sensitive to EMF exposure. Especially since it telecommunication “pine tree” was placed near my home. I have certain reactions to different towers. The straight vertical towers with the thicker tops caused me to have a very strong pressure in my head and for my ears to ring I can actually tell if there’s a tower near me because my symptoms start before I even noticed the tower. I also experienced headaches and brain fog. Since the fake pine tree telecommunication tower was placed near my home, my entire family has been experiencing extreme brain fog, and it’s getting to the point where our words are affected. Even my elementary school students are noticing the effects. The moments of word, loss and forgetting what we were talking about are becoming a daily thing. This is a very concerning symptom in childhood. Our sleep has been affected. At certain times it seems like the frequency is higher and we feel a buzzing sensation. One of my children is about to be 14 years old and his special needs, he has a neurological disorder, and I noticed a huge impact on his cognitive ability when he has been on a tablet or computer. It gives him headaches and causes blank, staring episodes and intense mood swings. When I please strict guidelines on screen time there is a noticeable difference in the interactions with my children. I feel that the blue light exposure mixed with the frequencies that all of these devices are putting off have greatly negatively impacted the health of my family. I purchased red and yellow blue light glasses to help with our circadian rhythm, but that doesn’t help from all of the different EMF frequencies that are coming from all of the different device devices in our home. A lot of device devices are smart technology, and have Wi-Fi signals. If I were to count how many different signals and frequencies were pulsing through my house, it is very concerning. Most homes have all of these frequencies. I have also noticed a drastic change in our telephone signal over the last few months I have a fairly new iPhone, and there are days where I barely get any signal and it switches over to LTE. I set up a home phone line that is wired to try and have a strong phone connection, these land lines are so muffled and don’t work nearly as well as they used to. With having a medical fragile child I want a strong wired landline connection because I do not trust the cell phones. I urge HHS to support independent, non-biased, Transparent, in-depth research and studies on the effects of the drastic increase in this technology. You need to determine if these decades old outdated guidelines should be changed, and if the technology should be reduced. Americans are bombarded with different attack attacks on our immune system to include toxins, heavy metals, plastics chemicals in the food, EMF frequencies and many more things that all are having devastating effects on Health. We are one of the sickest nations in the world, and we rely on our government to protect us. It is your responsibility to protect public health and do it in an honest way. Public Health research should be led by independent scientific expertise and not from industries that financially benefit from continued wireless deployment. I am especially concerned with our children’s health who are forced onto screens and have telecommunication towers on every school. We weren’t even informed or allowed to vote on the tower that was placed on our street because the property that it was placed on is owned by a different town so they were allowed to vote on it.
Wireless radiation is dangerous. Every time new stronger signals are started up, lots of people get sick. If you didn’t know that already, then please do some honest research on it. 6G isn’t necessary. 5G isn’t even necessary.
I am submitting this comment in my capacity as CEO of Children’s Health Defense to express serious concerns regarding the potential public health consequences of the rapid expansion of wireless infrastructure, particularly as they relate to children.
For years, Children’s Health Defense has heard firsthand from and worked with families who experience serious health challenges associated with increasing exposure to artificial electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from wireless technology. Stories like those of Amelia Gilardi from Pittsfield, MA, who became seriously ill when a cell tower was activated in her neighborhood, remind us that wireless technology and infrastructure do not come without a cost. Behind the promise of greater connectivity are real children and families suffering from debilitating health issues—and too often, it is our children who pay the price.
Children are uniquely vulnerable and deserve special consideration. They are exposed to wireless radiation at increasingly young ages, often beginning during pregnancy and continuing throughout childhood and adulthood in their homes, schools, communities, and workplaces. The widespread use of screens and wireless devices has become normalized and encouraged, while questions about hazardous, long-term and cumulative exposure effects remain routinely ignored by federal regulatory agencies and government authorities.
The FCC’s current RF exposure guidelines were established in 1996 and are fundamentally flawed and outdated. Wireless technology and infrastructure has exploded since the guidelines were introduced, and yet the industry has actively suppressed the extensive body of scientific literature that clearly demonstrates harm to people and the environment. Furthermore, federal regulatory agencies have yet to demonstrate to the public that the FCC’s decades-old RF exposure guidelines adequately protect children, other vulnerable populations and the environment from the risks of exposure.
Rather than continuing to dramatically expand population-wide wireless radiation exposure, we should exercise a precautionary approach when it comes to wireless and take this opportunity to thoroughly examine the current state of scientific literature and conduct new studies that appropriately consider the long-term consequences of ubiquitous and cumulative exposure to current and future wireless environments. That means supporting independent research into the health and developmental effects of RF radiation, particularly the effects on children, pregnant women, and other vulnerable populations.
Additionally, it is equally critical that federal regulatory agencies are transparent about the body of scientific literature that is used to establish exposure standards, and must ensure that they are based on biologically-relevant models. This scientific literature must be independent of industry influence and any entity that has a financial interest in continued wireless deployment. It is of utmost importance that HHS and other public health agencies play a central role in evaluating the evidence and identifying where research gaps remain.
Children’s Health Defense will continue to advocate for the responsible deployment of wireless infrastructure prioritizing public health above wireless expansion and industry profits. We believe that families and communities deserve meaningful opportunities to understand and address these risks and will continue to advocate for the best interests of people, public health, and the environment.
We must not allow yet another generation of children to be harmed by the effects of wireless radiation. For the sake of our children and their future, we must consider independent science, exercise transparency, and implement the necessary protections to make safer, and more responsible decisions about the wireless environment in which they are growing up.
I urge HHS to prioritize rigorous, independent, and transparent research into the health and developmental effects of wireless radiation, particularly for children and other vulnerable populations. As wireless technologies become increasingly embedded in our daily lives, we have a responsibility to ensure that their widespread use is guided by sound science and accompanied by safeguards that fully protect children’s health and development.

I am from Spain. My mother took her life in 2012 due to being electrosensitive, nobody knows what we lived. As far as I know, she was the first person to do so in my country. I was a founding member of the national electrosensitive association. Since then, five other members have decided to do the same. It is the most serious health problem facing humanity. Electrosensitive people are called the 'canaries in the coal mine.' Behind many health problems lies the cause of electromagnetic fields, but it is better to keep obeying the system, claiming there are no conclusive studies—the usual story, deception after deception, while there are people living an absolute nightmare, sleeping in cars, in the mountains, or even in caves to avoid the radiation.
We are all electrosensitive; the difference is when affected people clearly understand the cause-and-effect relationship between radiation and their health problems, such as tinnitus, nosebleeds, extreme headaches, joint pain, arrhythmias, short-term memory loss, disorientation, burning sensations in the throat and ears, nervousness, irritability, and the pathologies of fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and multiple chemical sensitivity, all related to the central sensitization system. Are you going to do something about it, or are you going to keep looking the other way? This affects all of us, because we are all exposed to cell towers, Wi-Fi, mobile phones, smart TVs, DECT phones... I am available for anyone who wants to contact me to explain everything that is happening with this issue, which is already EXTREMELY URGENT. Through our association, we are in contact with many scientists, doctors, and affected people's organizations from all over the world. As Magda Havas says: '5G, the oncoming tsunami... This is my association: https://electroyquimicosensibles.org/
My concerns on my behalf as a citizen concerns here in los angeles I live in city of L.A. what I saw here is overwhelming these cell towers are everywhere not only that but also camouflage in any shapes and forms are also noticeable my big concern is that they put nearby churches, shopping mall, schools, colleges, parks, recreational, civic city, apartments, empty buildings are also sprouted by cell towers, commercial buildings, suburban areas, houses, and even power poles are also sprouted by many cell antennas, not only that but also in farms area too are also expose these emissions not only that but also water tanks towers are also erected cell antennas, the fake tress any kind surreal plant like trees are also unnatural to look upon them, but also broadcast by invincible microwave radiations non stop according to scientists and researchers are concerned by escalation of high chronic illnesses of any kind of symptoms or even psychological problems of human by induced
by electromagnet radiations and according to some experts that our Schumann frequency our earth's beat natural pulses to calm our mind and well being is now compromised by heavily electromagnetic waves from cell towers or any kind of radio transmissions capable higher power to create a cascade effects to scramble and jamming our Earth's pulse natural healing frequency known the Schumann frequency that most fundamental to our human health and also for the 4G,5G, and soon the 6G are also close microwave frequency that using by radar that use on air traffic controller to reflect and deflect by bouncing emissions frequencies some story that the radar operator have symptoms and later on their lives has chronic disease or even cancers.My other concerns also in subway has so many repeaters of cell antenna on order to connect people inside the train but unbeknownst that overwhelmed of high exposed electromagnetic frequencies radiations.
My hope is to reduce these power emmiter from celltowers on any shapes and forms and not too close by an Inhabitants of human beings is what statistically and noticeable by scientists and researchers that even on insects, plants, animals has also degredation of life's and caused cease off of basic of life indefinitely and imbalances and chaos which havoc of all life's as we know it. So, away as much possible these towers and must be not to the dwelling people, animals and even some of a trees has perish they too by a constant irrediated by harmful electromagnetic radiations. Not only that but also wifi that also harmful to humans when getting closer on it which is not safe, so must lower the output of power and reduce the emissions on that way, safer and health, my only concerns some regulations and private sectors don't have a regulations to cut off these excess power output of these emissions and if they follow the protocol procedure often they want to desire to ignore the law and continuing to non stop thus no enforcement to check individually antenna that scattered all over thousands of thousands of cell tower antennas. It must be a limit the tower antenna and relocate far away from people because too much celltowers seem obvious creating unbalance of all life's thus no harmony and no restore where should be. Another to implement is to lower the power output of cellphone I know they want more bandwidth and speed for transmission in order for demand consumers but sadly they don't care and aim more needed most so they can carry all over the places for a convenient. I believe some technology out there to reduce power output and to more carefree and health matters not to over expose them by some sort of radiation or to minimize it the better would come, I know they want technology to use efficient and more convenient accessable for everybody but must be implying also to limit the threshold not to over exploitation if only must be balance and reusable and efficient. In European nation they already implemented their laws to reduces tower and emissions from cellphone to celltowers which win win situations and more health consciousness that reflects in nature and people habitatants and if not fiber optics and land lines are the better high speed of Internet than wireless.
Despite of overwhelming nowadays, the celltowers are everywhere must demand to reduce their infrastructure and put out of harms'away to the people even though they didn't know that they had been already compromised and later their lives has so many complications and illnesses mysteriously and can't explain and why, so many cases and statistically that already had answer but unfortunately never intending to the people but only a small fine letters warning that can't see what's warning all about, so instead of warning signs each devices has to be regulated and strictly low power output in that way more happy and happy specially to those people who suffering by radio radiations or also known electromagnetic frequency sensitive or EMF sensitive.
Across the nation many residents are concerned about the small cell wireless antennas being deployed in our community. These powerful antennas, part of the next generation of wireless technology (5G), are being placed in close proximity to our homes, schools and other places where we engage in the activities of our daily lives, even though there is no science that assures their safety. This is an undeniable risk. The rapid rollout of the next generation in wireless communications known as “5G." In neighborhoods like ours across America, so-called “small cell” antennas need to be installed close to homes and apartments to facilitate this new technology. The deployment raises serious issues that should concern everyone in our community: safety, security, privacy, property values and health.
The FCC’s human exposure guidelines for the radio frequency (RF) microwave radiation used for this technology are decades out of date and the agency has dismissed the results of decade-long research on RF microwave radiation and human health completed last year by the National Toxicology Program that showed “clear evidence of carcinogenicity.”
Because the health and safety of our families is at stake, we demand a moratorium on further deployment of 5G until it can be proven safe.
NOTE: This is a security and privacy issue. Wireless networks are relatively easy to hack compared to fiber-optic wired networks. Data from your phone and other wireless personal or home devices can be easily captured and marketed. In addition, small cell installations have the capacity to house cameras for facial recognition, as they do in China.
What guarantees do we have that the technology will not be abused? This is a safety issue. Local zoning codes are meant to protect our safety, but the wireless industry is fighting those codes. Most existing utility poles (the preferred location for small cell antennas because it’s cheap) were not designed to withstand the hundreds of pounds of additional equipment, and severe weather events could bring down the poles, causing damage to our homes and property. Our local officials should have the right to decide where those new antennas and their equipment are placed. But perhaps most troubling is the news about our health. A recent (2018) peer-reviewed study by the National Toxicology Program of the National Institutes of Health – the most prestigious health research organization in the world – proved that exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation, the kind emitted from all wireless devices and their infrastructure, causes cancer and DNA damage. Not maybe. Their language says there was “clear evidence of carcinogenicity.” We urge you to visit www.AmericansForResponsibleTech.org to learn more about these issues and what you can do to protect your home and family.
Yes I have been, and currently am being severely adversely affected by local towers within 1000 feet or less of my home. I am a senior afflicted with a severe pulmonary disease and must use external oxygen 24/7. My ability to live and breathe is in jeopordy daily from Spectrum towers, I experience not only tinnitus and brain fog, but a feeling of being cooked from the inside out, my eyes are horribly teared, my lungs pulsate so badly I can't function or breathe, my gastrointestinal system shuts down for days at a time, I can't go outside as it has a crippling effect on me when in use, and yes I am able to feel when it is activated in the a.m. and shut down in the p.m. others in my neighborhood are also affected in various ways including a high rate of cancer, myself included. It has take a long time to determine the source of my problems, but there is doubt after spending weeks incapacitated in bed , now I know, these things are killing me!
A few years back picked up tinnitus cuz in our previous home cuz it had a smart electric meter that we weren’t aware of not to mention a deadly 5G tower behind our property. Double whammy. This in addition to smart (stupid) phones and WiFi signals throughout house that emit dangerous to our bodies EMF’s. As representatives of the people you need to install safeguards and guardrails cuz utility companies and corporations don’t care just look for profit
