Towers & siting

In response to HHS's request for information on EMF's, RF, and Wireless Radiation exposure I'll share a bit of my personal experience. As many fellow sufferers likely also feel, I am grateful to have this opportunity. Concerning the physical harm that these man-generated frequencies can cause, as happens so often when an issue is not well known or understood and the lives of the majority aren't substantially impacted (yet), the minority who are affected are dismissed, ridiculed, or patronized. When there are financial incentives for the issue to be minimized, as there definitely are here, then the institutional gaslighting get fierce. An honest, brave and thorough investigation into this topic would be a breath of fresh air and I do hope that is truly underway in this process. This is not a topic that is of natural interest to me, and I am by no means an expert, but the physical distress I experience through EMF exposure has compelled me to do a fair amount of research in my quest to regain some semblance of a normal life. A few points I've learned may be helpful in clearing up misconceptions for those who don't notice ill effects themselves - Generally speaking, there is a tipping point when after a slow build of repeated exposure (often combined with other physical stresses) a person's body becomes sensitized. After that point depending upon the severity of the hypersensitivity some people may experience symptoms immediately when exposed to certain frequencies and intensities, while others may not feel affected until the duration of that exposure lasts a while. (A bit like allergies.) Another important point is that the hypersensitive individual may be perfectly healthy when they are in a low EMF environment. My experience (short version - for quicker access to the salient points I won't detail the process of elimination which I used to draw the conclusions that my symptoms were caused by EMF's, but I will say that the evidence took me there.) Spring 2021 - Every morning awakening with a physical feeling of dread. It wasn't an emotional feeling. My bedroom has 2 cell towers in easy view from the windows, one on the south one on the west (and then there's another cell tower nearby but around the bend). It turns out that all these towers had added antenna at that time. I believe this was my triggering event. I was bombarded nightly. After that I became increasingly agitated in a way quite unlike me and hard to describe. I developed a kind of headache that I never had before. I experienced numbness, heart palpitations, tinnitus, sometimes a restlessness of mind as well as body. There were only two places on my property that I felt ok. One was on the front porch, the other was the laundry room. I started sleeping on the floor of the laundry room for some relief. My life was subsumed by these physical affects, which were not limited to my home but happened anywhere there was wireless radiation. I was overjoyed to learn that there was such a thing as building biologists that specialize in detecting and mitigating against harmful levels of EMF's. That was the beginning of a long, difficult and very, very, very expensive journey to better health and a livable life. I was frustrated with the pace that it took to make the changes because I didn't feel I could last another minute. When I made that clear to the building biologist I had hired (who I came to regard as my hero) he told me that some people found relief by grounding with their feet in a river. The first time I sat there for an hour and then finally felt a switch...I felt good for the first time in months. After that I went to the river many times a week. (For others who may want to try it, the location has to be low EMF.) BTW - the BB discovered that the levels where my son usually spent much of his time measured horrifically high. After the mitigation not only did he become much more pleasant but he started having dreams again, something he hadn't had for quite a while. My house is now shielded with special paint, my windows have a special film (as do the windows of my car), we no longer use a microwave, we keep the WiFi off whenever I'm around, we've hardwired everything that can be, when I'm in high RF environments I wear shielded hats, I don't have a cell phone, oh and probably most importantly I have a shielding canopy over my bed...after years now my life is, from the outside, looking almost normal. Now I can be out in public and participate somewhat. However there are significant limitations: travel is very hard, being in an enclosed space with lots of cell phones still makes me sick and can take me a few days to recover from. Though perhaps a small percentage of the population is affected I know four others as severely affected as I and others with milder but troublesome symptoms. If the tipping point theory is right, the increasing proliferation of this kind of technology may have huge negative consequences soon.

Massachusetts town north of Boston is allowing a utility to de-colocate from multiple existing distributive antenna systems (DAS), and install multiple new omni directional antennas within a 475 foot radius of the existing DAS units.. FCC reports indicate the utilities service coverage is 5G or 5G+ at all of the DAS units. There are no gaps in coverage. It appears to be a financial maneuver disguised as an up grade from DAS units, that provide optimum coverage as reported by the utility to the FCC coverage maps, The nine new nodes create emission over lap with the existing DAS units. The emission overlap will not be monitored or measured by the town or the utility. At one application location, two DAS units and two omni directional units will all be located within 1/3 of a mile or less from each other. This creates emission overlap of either two or three nodes, none of which will have emission levels monitored/tested by the town or utility. There are cancer clusters around at least one node including lung, prostate, follicular. Residents nearby report unexplained long term symptoms of not feeling well. The town approves the applications under the premiss that they cannot deny or redirect the utility. The residents become victims of the results.

I often experience nausea & headaches when too cloose to 5g towers for an extended period of time, or even around radiation. When I'm around phone with 5g on them for too long I also experience the same symptoms.

The antennas are dangerous for our health

COMMENT My legs and lower back were pained to the point that walking could only happen with support – looking back after some time this could be linked to a new TETRA mast which had been installed in the village. Two wires crossing the gardens were changed to high-tension wires that would enable broadband to be carried. Two years later in 2010 a shocking event further changed my life after an electrical company arrived where I lived and proceeded to cut down trees in the area, under wires and to allow accessible connection to the mast. Electricity meters were also changed in all the houses. At 5.00 pm on that evening my body was assaulted on many levels with effects such as a feeling of alert/panic, palpitations, my burning skin felt as if it wanted to turn inside-out. These were combined with a high-pitched ‘noise’ and a second ‘noise’ that sounded like a diesel engine running. Over the next few nights my body was still on alert and my body was actually thrown out of the bed and in those few seconds I woke up balancing myself on my feet with my arms stretched out before me. The companies related to the mast and electricity were contacted and sound professionals but none were helpful. An inability to sleep as my body was being tormented led to personal attempts to find the source of the noise and wandering down streets and lanes in the dead of night became usual. No source was ever found. Why – because what was happening had already been well studied by Alan Frey in USA and it was called ‘microwave hearing’. The inability to sleep saw attempts made to seek sleep, rest and peace in the car, shed, tent in the garden etc but the ‘noise’ was everywhere. For safety in the dark hours I had to sleep on a mattress downstairs after removing electrical wiring in the fire alarms etc. That was the first physical indication that it was definitely electricity that was causing these effects. Occasionally it was necessary to ask friends if I could spend a night in their house as my home and village was, for me, dangerous. The ‘noise’ was not in other parts of the county and this was another clue leading to my discovery that I was suffering from electrohypersensitivity/microwave sickness. I experienced area after area in the county changing as technological infrastructure was installed. After a year of pain, vertigo, anxiety, concentration issues, palpitations and pain/seizures in legs and eventual wearing down of my body a stage was reached when I knew I had a choice of dying or moving house. What was of great interest was the inability of other people to experience the effects of the changes. Moving was achieved with the help of good friends and since then ‘smart’ meters have been installed leading immediately to an environmental deterioration. The exponential rise of technology has seen additional effects such as nose-bleeds, more variety of pain, memory issues, burning and tingling of skin (like ants running over me), inability to sleep, no peace and no rest, no silence, no possibility of reflection or indeed of staying in one place for long as my body absorbs the electromagnetic/low frequency pulsed microwave radiation from modern technology. My life is now about balancing out positive activities, especially in wooded areas and avoiding places where people congregate such as hospitals, travel, theatres, film houses, public transport, public services – places where people congregate and are drawing in signals with their mobile phones and tech devices Two years after moving CANCER was diagnosed Given the account of my experience of man-made artificial pulsed, modulated, directional signals from modern technology I believe that one reference book is sufficient to cover all effects with up-to-date proven and clear evidence from independent scientists who actually study the biological and health effects of Radio Frequency Microwave and Extremely Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields as used in wireless communications and other technological applications. That book is entitled ‘Electromagnetic Fields of Wireless Communications: Biological and Health Effects and includes a number of studies by well-known scientists in the field. It is edited by Professor Dimitri Panagopoulos and published by CRC Press, Taylor and Francis Group 2023. It is also available as a PDF on Researchgate: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/366089127_Electromagnetic_Fields_of_Wireless_Communications_Biological_and_Health_Effects Re: Microwave Hearing – a study entitled Microwave Auditory Effect written by Dr. James C Lin, formerly a member of the ICNIRP is available at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/363461470_The_Microwave_Auditory_Effect

This is merely anecdotal and episodic phenomena that I have observed when I’m coming up on a 5G tower while driving (sometimes not even seeing it until I’m closer), but when within a half mile of a 5G tower, especially one that is situated lower to the ground, I begin to experience a lot of discomfort, a feeling like I’m about to jump out of my skin or need to get away from that location as soon as possible, sometimes accompanied by difficulty taking in a complete breath, and a feeling that my heart rate changes. I mentioned this to my doctor, but he told me “that is all internet conspiracy theory stuff” and that the waves emitted are not powerful enough to affect the human body. Just thought I’d let someone else know! Maybe others have experienced the same thing.

I am sorry to not have seen this in time to review studies and attach relevant ones. Five years ago I delved into numerous studies since a cell tower was about to be installed within a few hundred feet of our residence, in the middle of a residential designated historic district. It was on the edge of a residence with a woman with a pacemaker who was fighting cancer (she died within a few months of the installation) and across the street from a family with an infant. It was demonstrated at a city council meeting that the public works officer responsible for working with the telecom company concerning placement had failed to fulfill requirements for approving cell tower placement, including the review required before placing a cell tower in a historic district (among others). When this was pointed out, and the city attorney was asked to look into this, the cell tower was immediately installed (several weeks before it was scheduled). In addition, no concerns or studies about the deleterious effects of RF's on human health or on the environment was allowed to be cited as a reason for delay or in order to regulate placement of the cell towers. There were numerous studies available then which pointed clearly to the need for a serious review of safety standards, and which also highlighted the negative effects on insects (including pollinators) and migrating birds with regard to navigation and orientation. The amount of money which telecom companies were offering municipalites (where not prohibited) and private individuals in order to install cell towers, and their disregard for property rights in some cases (I know of several) is disturbing. In our city, the first cell towers to be erected were close to the hospital, a public school, a college campus, and a historic residential neighborhood. The restrictions against a municipality considering health or environmental impacts regarding cell towers is itself disturbing. If there is in fact nothing to be concerned about, then why prohibit citing relevant studies. Shouldn't health and environmental safety be top priorities? What are the telecom companies afraid of? Since the FCC has not reviewed its safety standards since 1996, and has been historicaly reluctant to do so, one wonders if the cell tower industry might not be a trillion-dollar juggernaut which our government allows to roll over and disregard even legitimate and documented concerns for human health and for the environment. The consequences for the government continuing to evade the responsibility to provide and enforce safety guidelines, based on serious evaluations of the proposed hazards, could well be devastating for our comunities and ecology in general. I strongly encourage the HHS and FCC to respond in a serious and earnest way to the Supreme Court mandate issues in 2021. Respectfully submitted, October 21, 2026

We do not need these towers. I’ve seen them over apartments and playgrounds. We don’t need this!!! These towers are horrible!!!

Miksi mastojen kohdalla päässä tuntuu omituiselle? Ytävälläni todettiin eteisvärinä, vain 3 kuukautta maston lähelle muuttamisen jälkeen. Mastoon on matkaa vain 500 m, joka näkyy ystävän kotiin saakka.

As a cell tower refugee I survived overdosing on wireless waves sickness and I juries after they placed a cell tower in a ditch near my home up on a hill,1,809 feet away in the direct path of the emissions, I have evidence and wittnesses to the effects . However the evidence was on my old profile of 6 years ago and my old lost phone but was saved and recorded on my old profile of my old phone. I do not know how to send you the files from my old profile thru my new phone. But if you click on my old profile and go to wireless loo, you can see for yourself the documented history of my sickness and injuries from the cell tower waves placed by my home that's in the directs path of the emissions but I was hurt two miles below the tower due to environmental effects on solar panel farms and rocks, have video evidence of 8 volt rock that absorb waves n wittnesses of sound wave frequency's caused by bouncing and absorbing waves, my body absorbed too much and I was overdosed and I had inflammation around my skull for 3 years, as a cell tower refugee I had to use natural antidotes and remedy's to survive cell tower radiation, much more detailed story but can't say it all here....
