An EMF consultant describes opposition to a tower upgrade near youth facilities, reports neurological eff…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
As a trained EMF Consultant through "Geovital Institute" (30 yrs of safety from EMF's in Austria) KNOW the harm and have a costly $ Instrument that allows the radiation monitoring. PLEASE LISTEN TO THE NOISE EMITTED from a simple cell phone- or a router/modem. Then go by a cell tower & listen. I have an ACCOUSTIMETER & I'm sure you have funds to purchase one or a better one that is keeping up with the 5G higher frequencies. I also invite you to my FaceBoook Page "https://www.facebook.com/groups/874948352946284" ALL FOR SAFE TECHNOLOGY I have used this for a "FILE" since fighting against I am an EMF Consultant trained by Geovital Institute - look it up- 30 yrs in this business. While fighting seemingly by myselF to an upgrade to a tower near a school/boys & Girls club & Rec center in Stevens Point, WISCONSIN. I/WE THE PEOPLE LOST. Now 6 yrs later that "File" grows every day & EVERY POST IS SOURCED. Also go to Environmental Health Trust & Childrens Health Defense. CATCH UP & DO THE RIGHT THING FOR WE THE PEOPLE - THANK YOU! also - I am affected neurologically when near ANY EMF's. How could we Not! I invite you to my Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/874948352946284 EVERY POST IS SOURCED AND PERTINENT Thank you- DO THE RIGHT THING & MEASURE EMF DAMAGES NOT HEAT!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am very concerned about the negative health effects of wireless radiation, including placing cellphone towers near people's homes. We need to seriously evaluate the health effects and invest more in expanding wired connections to phones and computers rather than wireless. This is a serious health concern.

Reports severe EMF sensitivity limiting city visits, criticizes existing limits, discusses Building Biolo…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am extremely sensitive to EMF radiation. I'm akin to a coal mine canary for this issue. It developed slowly as EMF proliferated with cell towers, cell phones, and other microwave sources over the decades. I can no longer go into large cities. What I experience is overall an immediate sense of devitalization, like I'm losing energy on every level. like my whole body, is going into increasing states of shutdown. As the symptoms progress, I experience headaches, disorientation, even to the point if it's severe enough that I can become non-functional. It can take me days to come back to a balanced state. EMF jams some of the subtle communication systems that the body has outside the central nervous system complex. The science is there if it's investigated. U.S. government regulations don’t restrict low-level, non-ionizing EMFs and don’t consider biological effects like free radical creation, immune system suppression, neurological efects etc. Federal safety guidelines focus on,ionizing radiation (which breaks chemical bonds) and thermal effects (acute tissue) heating from high-intensity fields). Essentially the current EMF standards completely ignore their most pernicious effects. There are ways to mitigate this directly. I utilize technology from https://www.blushield.com which is highly effective. It can be used for homes and also devices that can be carried. Without this my life would be extremely limited. Building Biology Standards are particularly important in analyzing this general health issue, as they include Non-Thermal Biological Mechanisms. Independent scientific literature (such as the BioInitiative Report) compiles studies indicating the myriad of non thermal effects. I highly recommend that you investigate in depth the Bioinitiative 2012 website mentioned just below. Bioinitiative 2012 A Rationale for Biologically-based Exposure Standards for Low-Intensity Electromagnetic Radiation https://bioinitiative.org The credibility of Building Biology's specific low-frequency evaluation guidelines (SBM) sits outside mainstream consensus regulatory bodies, presenting a mixed picture regarding traditional empirical validation. Regulatory vs. Biological Limits: Mainstream regulatory agencies (like the ICNIRP or FCC) base limits strictly on short-term, high-intensity thermal effects (measurable tissue heating). By contrast, Building Biology guidelines are set orders of magnitude lower, targeting unproven or debated chronic non-thermal biological mechanisms. [1, 2] Building Biology guidelines have their basis in the Standard of Building Biology Testing Methods (SBM), built on decades of indoor environmental surveys and measurements insleeping areas, often in collaboration with physicians. [1] Medical Recognition: Professional medical organizations, such as the Austrian Medical Association and the European Academy for Environmental Medicine (EUROPAEM), have historically referenced or adopted Building Biology sleeping area guidelines as sensiblebenchmarks for long-term (over four hours daily) low-intensity exposures. [1] https://ehsciences.org/powerlines-emf-elf-magnetic-fields-health/ I am certain that if you do in-depth research you will find that the current standards are unworkable, and that the placement of many cell towers and other microwave and low frequency EMF sources such as power substations and electrical power lines need to be mitigated. There are ways to do this. I suggest that you talk to some of the experts who have researched these fields. you will more than likely receive extreme resistance from utility companies, companies, cell providers, etc. as this would mean immense overwhelming cost to mitigate this by moving towers, etc. I do not believe this is necessary. I believe other mitigation can be provided by devices such as you will read about if you look at the Blue Shield information above. feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss this further.

Reports mixed symptom changes after exposure reduction and requests cumulative-exposure limits, local inp…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I'm writing to share how wireless radiation has affected my health and to raise a concern I don't think current policy accounts for: the layering of exposure inside and around our homes and office buildings. For years I lived with migraines, tinnitus, poor sleep, slow recovery, and a nervous system that struggles to settle. These aren't abstract complaints; they shape my life. When I began measuring the radio frequency levels in my home and reducing them, by hardwiring our network, scheduling the router off at night, and tracking down hidden sources, my body responded. The quality of my sleep has improved, although I still have day to day exposure and migraines have gotten worse, and the ringing in my ears hasn't stopped. What's most concerning is how pervasive the exposure is getting. A decade ago, a home might have had one wireless router. Today, radios are built into refrigerators, washers, thermostats, smoke detectors, televisions, sound systems, garage door openers, lighting controls, doorbells, and security systems, alongside routers, modems, and mesh repeaters. Many are boxed into walls and cabinets where homeowners can't see them, and many can't be turned off without disabling the appliance itself. People and pets absorb these signals around the clock, including while we sleep, when the body is meant to repair. Even after we deployed mitigation strategies, the highest reading in our house was in the hallway outside our bedroom, and it traced back to an alarm communicator mounted inside a closet wall. We didn't choose that exposure; we didn't even know it was there.The layers don't stop at our walls. Outside, 5G small cells now sit on streetlights and utility poles steps from bedroom windows, in addition to existing cell towers. Smart meters on each home relay signals to one another in a mesh network, so an entire neighborhood transmits as one connected system. License plate cameras at intersections and community entrances send their data over cellular connections, and satellite networks now beam service down from above. I can turn off my own router at night; I can't turn off my neighbor's smart meter, the small cell on the corner, or the camera at the end of my street. The public never consented to any of this and an informed public would surely not consent. Many of these systems also track where we go; geofencing lets companies and agencies draw a virtual boundary and collect data from every phone that crosses it. We weren't asked about the exposure or the tracking. Federal exposure limits were set in 1996 and evaluate single devices, not the cumulative load of dozens operating at once. In 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit found the FCC had failed to explain why those limits still protect people from harms unrelated to cancer, including effects on children and long-term exposure. The U.S. National Toxicology Program and Italy's Ramazzini Institute both found tumors in rats exposed to cell phone and cell tower radiation, and a Danish birth cohort study linked prenatal and childhood phone exposure to behavioral difficulties. Over the same decades that wireless exposure has multiplied, we've seen rising rates of autism, autoimmune disease, and chronic illness, and some researchers have raised questions about RF exposure and mold growth indoors. I'm not suggesting wireless radiation is the single cause of any of these; I'm asking that it be studied seriously rather than ruled out. Wireless radiation also doesn't reach us alone. Every day we're exposed to more synthetic building materials that off-gas, plastics in our clothing, children's toys, and household products, and chemicals permitted in our food and skincare. Each of these is approved on its own, and RF limits are set one device at a time, while our bodies take in all of it together. Little research has looked at how RF exposure interacts with this growing chemical load; until it does, I don't see how anyone can call the combination safe. I respectfully ask that you: 1. Update exposure limits to account for cumulative, long-term exposure from multiple sources, inside and outside the home, as the 2021 court ruling requires. 2. Require public notice and local input before new towers, small cells, smart meter networks, or surveillance cameras go up in residential neighborhoods, with a no-cost opt-out for smart meters. 3. Require that appliances and home systems with wireless radios offer a wired option or a simple way to disable the radio without losing core function. 4. Require clear labeling of wireless modules on appliances and building systems so families can make informed choices. 5. Fund independent research on chronic exposure and how it interacts with everyday chemical exposures, with attention to children, sleep, and the nervous system. Thank you for considering the people living with these exposures every day. Christy Wallace

Reports electromagnetic hypersensitivity after 5G rollout, including tachycardia and cognitive symptoms, …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, Thank you for looking into this issue. As a 49-year-old woman, I have lived a mostly healthy life. I work in technology and have been in and around EMFs for the past 30 years. I did not have noticeable reactions until they deployed 5G. I became electrohypersensitive and could not travel to cities with a high number of towers and antennas. My symptoms: tachycardia, brain fog, red eyes, headaches, sweating, a sense of dizziness, and many more. It took me about a year and a half before I could figure out what was happening, and I was able to pin down the symptoms occurring only in a highly EMF-dense area. To this day, I cannot safely travel to work conferences and stay in hotels. It is very concerning, and I hope we can address this issue as a nation.

Reports illness, photosensitivity and possible radiation sensitivity limiting work and travel, and expres…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I became aware of emf's after being diagnosed with mold illness, then later a rare auto immune disease that photosensitivity is a common symptom off. It may be multiple forms of radiation sensitivity and/or visible light. Blue light also impacts health and skin. I lost my insurance license worked so hard to get because I could not work on phone and pc without effects on skin. I can no longer work or fly and even car travel by so many towers causes issues. I follow many sites that have done scientific experiments on the effects and heard that China requires pregnant women to cover their bellies to protect unborn. Other countries much stricter guidelines especially for children, while we just keep adding towers near schools. Remember don't stand in front of the microwave? Now we wear them and siti in frot of the radiation many hours a day. And we wonder why the unhealthiest of all time?

Attributes headaches, tingling, fatigue and heart-rhythm changes to wireless exposure, describes shieldin…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, My name is Mary Kirby and I live in Ave Maria Florida. The wifi effects in my home and abroad are very detrimental to may health. My neighbors are kind enough to turn off their wifi when not using it, but using the cable box and tv can be just as detrimental. The effects on me are: headaches, foggy brain, pain in joints, when in a strong signal area, fatigue, shaky hands and painful tingling in the sublayer of my skin when in a strong signal area (stops when I leave the area) Effects the rhythm of my heart, when in a strong signal area (and stops when I leave it), Achiness and pain in my right thigh (where I had shingles about 10 years ago) and pain stops when I can remove myself from the area. HHS savings accounts cover EMF clothing etc. So the government knows it has negative effects on Humans. They keep upping the strength. Infinity uses 6G and possibly stronger (they call it 10G) If they could place harmonizers on all the wifi towers, starlink and satelites, to neutralize the negative effects of the High "G" being used, this could be a viable answer. I realized I started having serious problems with the wifi when the hotspots (3G was the first) came out then the G being used kept being raised. At this point it is very painful for me and very frustrating, because I cannot stop it any more. The clothing, hats, blankets are all made for 5G and that has been surpassed with 6G and above!!! The wave goes right through the silver fabric. So, I double up the fabric and this slows it and even stops it from getting to me. We should not have to live like this and be in pain most of the day!!! Please evaluate this and make healthy corrections to how The WIFI towers are being used and built. Put protections on them. The waves are know to alter our DNA, which caused cancer, It is scientifically proven to cause AFIB, and I could go on and on. Bettering our technology is a good thing, but it must be safe for humans at all times! Thank you for investigating this deadly problem with WIFI and Satelites and StarLink

Alleges stalking, implants and directed-energy attacks, describing pain, perceived involuntary movements,…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello I am targeted. For over 3 years I’ve been stalked and harassed by large groups. The agencies that’s targeted me also use directed energy on me. When I walk into my apartment I hear a hissing or ring. I have cars pass by with loud mufflers and press the gas hard and same time they make the noise I feel nerves in my legs or body jump. You can feel and hear when RF. I’ve also been hit while in my apartment through walls and I felt it in my chest. It was like a cool feeling in my chest but at the same time felt like it was sucking breath out of me. I knew it was technology from the people that’s been following me 24/7 and I felt like I was about to die. So I thought let me try to get out of range of this device. So I ran to my car and jumped in to drive off and about 4 or 5 cars tried to block me in and I drove crazy to get away from range. Whatever you guys think is going on and is trying to figure out. It’s way more. It’s way more people involved. They’re playing with weapons of mass destruction. Military technology is being used and Cell towers. I got a neighbor up stairs making bangs and tapping and scrapping sounds and making a nerve jump in my body. I feel pains in my body sometimes. I always feel a ack in my heart from come and go. As I’m writing now a cop just past by and turned on their sirens on for 3 seconds and I felt a jump in my thigh. I felt my head being hit with this technology and got a headache and my vision just started lighting up colors like lightning. 3 times I was just walking and everything went black and I was on the ground for a few seconds. I don’t think that even covers half of what kind of evil games have been played on me. It’s hard to prove a direct energy weapon is being use on you when the police won’t help you because your targeted.I do believe I’m illegally implanted possibly.

Reports sensitivity and diagnosed premature ventricular contractions associated with multiple exposure se…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
2. 4j. I am a 68 year-old female individual. Masters degree in Architecture, Registered Architect. I speak simply from my own experience. 3. 3b. My father was a HAM radio buff, so I grew up under those radio waves. Born with a metabolic bone disease, I had more than the usual number of x-rays. For the past 20 years, our family has driven hybrid cars. These things may have contributed to my sensitivity. 3c, e, 4h. For quite some time I have experienced PVCs (Premature Ventricular Contractions), finally diagnosed by a Holter monitor worn several years ago after my Primary Care Physician ran several other tests and found nothing wrong with my heart. These PVCs feel like I’m being “zapped,” and I instinctively cough, trying to regulate my heartbeat. 3a. Recently, they’ve become much more frequent, and I see a strong link to high EMF. Hospital equipment, airport communications, wifi, cell phone signals, high-powered electric lines, and Smart Meters cause the worst issues for me. Solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections exacerbate the PVCs, but not much can be done about that. EMFs have become ubiquitous, though, and are getting harder to avoid. 4k. A classic, but memorable example: When driving up I-95 around New York City last summer, the PVCs and the accompanying cough were constant for nearly an hour, until we were finally past the City and the density of those 5G transmitters. Driving through Vermont was quite pleasant, by contrast. Mountains, trees. Not much traffic. Then suddenly the “zapping” and coughing started again. Sure enough, as the trees cleared, a huge cell tower came into view. And as we left it behind, the zapping subsided. 4k. Eating out has become risky. My husband keeps his phone in airplane mode when I’m near, but when new customers are seated at the next table, it’s not unusual for our pleasant evening to become a nightmare as I am overwhelmed with the “zapping” their smart phones and watches provoke. Meanwhile, they look at me like I have the plague, wondering how I dare come out in public if I’m obviously so contagious. (Sigh.) 4m. Do people REALLY need to have their smartphones on 24/7? Could we encourage people to keep their phones in “airplane mode” unless they actually NEED them? And then there are so many young people that walk around all day with Bluetooth earbuds. I try to keep clear from them as much as I can, but I worry about what they are doing to their own health. 3f. We recently bought a new car. But not a hybrid this time. When out son checked the EMFs for us on test drives, they were extremely high. We settled for a gas-only vehicle… having finally found one that at least MOSTLY lets us turn off the on-board wifi. Such is becoming rare. 3f. My new hearing aids give off three times the EMF of my previous pair, so I wear them only when necessary. If they’re on, they’re searching for Bluetooth. My audiologist has no other options for me. 3f. My only recourse is to avoid situations where I know there will be high levels of EMF. I do like to socialize and be with people, but I find myself becoming a recluse. Our son put a wire mesh over our Smart Meter to reduce its impact, and that helps a bit. We always turn off wifi at night, my husband keeps his smartphone and iPad in airplane mode when not in use, and I turn my CPAP machine to airplane mode when I plug it in. I avoid being online for long periods of time, and stop as I feel the PVCs approach. I hide behind my reflective silver-woven curtains at home to reduce the EMF from the cell tower outside my window, and curl up under my silver-woven blanket and hood at night. I sleep much better with them, as they block enough EMFs from said cell tower that I no longer wake up throughout the night with PVCs. There ARE still occasional times when the silver isn't enough, and I wake up coughing. Later I learn there were Solar Flares or CMEs that night. My silver blanket and hood also help quiet the “buzz” (which eventually leads to PVCs when left unchecked) while waiting at airport gates or when the plane itself has on-board wifi and I’m completely surrounded, but it comes with its share of stares. And the silver fabric only blocks so much. Our culture has been encouraged to have “Smart” Everything. It is expected. And I fear for the long-term consequences that this increased exposure will bring to this next generation.
