Towers & siting

Non native frequencies are making me very ill. I have recently found that I cannot stay in my own home without getting ill. I am attempting to address this and it is complicated. Wifi and cell towers have been placed without care for health. Technology has rolled forth quickly without care for safety. I am supportive of new technology but this process requires regulation.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of an active citizen in her eighties who lives alone and has recently recognized and is attempting to protect herself from EMF exposure harms, and who wishes to help spread the word about our societies need to protect citizens especially children from this growing toxin, I have lived with a modern wifi unit (Sonic) in my home for five years, and with an earlier generation of wifi (AT&T) for many years before that. In March 2026 after my yearly blood test, my nutritionist said that the pattern of change in my HbA1c test indicated likelihood of high EMF exposure. For the past 10 years since I've been her client the results have stayed between 5.2 and 5.4. Abruptly this past year it moved up to 5.7, the first number in the pre-diabetic category. As I said to her, I have not significantly changed my diet (no grains or refined sugar, lots of low starch veggies, some berries and citrus, grass-fed and finished meat, pastured eggs, fish). She recommended hard-wiring my computer and getting rid of wi-fi, which I have done. (I do not own a cell phone, smart or otherwise.) It's a distinct relief to not be bathing in wi-fi any more. I've long had tinnitus, which while not vanishing is much reduced, and I sleep better. I do think I may also be impacted by involuntary sources of EMF, namely cell towers and antennas. My nutritionist did a search and found about 2300 antennas and 1900 towers within a 3 mile radius of my house. I do have an EMF meter, and though the extremely high counts in my home are gone (they were in the millions), it still reads higher than 10 in my bedroom. So I am thinking of getting a bed canopy. I do look forward to the results of my next A1c test, hoping to see the numbers lower. I am very concerned about the effects of EMF on our human body health as well as impacts on animals, birds and insects, especially bees. The FCC has only measured the thermal impacts of RF, and that no more recently than 1996. For heaven's sake, there has been no attempt by the FCC to keep up with health impacts of cell phones and RF/EMF development since the pre-flip phone era! This seems a deliberate avoidance of the probable biological impacts on our cells and organs. We are after all electromagnetic beings. Much research has been done on this. Please look up Paul Heroux' work, published February 2026, on EMF and the development of diabetes. I strongly support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a concerned member of the public. Besides the fact that a good amount of research I have seen shows that current allowable levels of RF and EMFs from devices may not be safe, I have heard stories from people about how they are negatively affected by today's tech devices and I believe their voices need to be heard and their stories investigated. I know of people getting fatal cancers after living near cell towers. I have heard people say they feel sick when they around routers, cell phones and other devices, and especially cell towers. I have heard people say they get headaches, heart palpitations, dizziness, insomnia and other symptoms from exposure to these things, but that the symptoms go away when they get away from them. I understand every BODY is different, and what affects one person one way may not affect someone else the same way (up to a certain threshold at least). However, some people serve as canaries in the coal mine--their experiences warning the rest of us that something might be more harmful to everyone than we realize. With Alzheimer's and especially cancer on the rise, I think the FCC and HHS have a duty to do a deep dive into these people's stories and make sure the RFs and EMFs we are all exposed to daily, everywhere, are not harming people. And if they find that they are, to do something about it immediately for the safety of the general public. To do otherwise would be a dereliction of duty and gross betrayal of the American people. Thank you for your time and consideration

First I want to say thank you for realizing this is a problem and asking this question and doing something about it. In June 2020 I was totally debilitated by EMF and RF in my home in Rancho Santa Fe California. I had to move out of my home to our Ranch on Palomar Mountain, which is totally off the grid no antennas no Towers no Smart Meters etc within 10 miles. It’s now 2026 and I’m still affected by the EMF’s even though I’ve taken many measures to mediate the EMF‘s and RF in my home in Rancho Santa Fe at great expense to me. I’ve also spent thousands of dollars on Health issues trying to help me get through these EMF /RF maladies, including terrible headaches, ringing in my ears, nausea, irritability, and being completely off-balance to the point where I have to hold onto things to walk around my house or out in public. It’s been a nightmare! When this happens to you, you become aware of how many people are truly affected by this. Also, I feel incredibly sorry for all the children in the schools on the computers, etc., with no protection, and towers and antennas, sometimes even on top of the schools. I think there might be a way to change the frequency of these things to be beneficial or at least a neutral frequency that isn’t harmful . Thank you Jana Lucaccioni

For the past few years, I have been regularly suffering from headaches that are sometimes quite disabling. I don't sleep well either. Since this year 2026, I have noticed a drop in the quality of my sleep and I also notice that people living in the same town as me (with several 5G antennas in a bird's-eye radius of less than a km) suffer from insomnia and often all wake up at the same time (3 a.m.). I don't know if it's due to the waves but I don't find my symptoms normal. I would like to point out here that I work in a school where the connections are multiple and on all the time (Wifi in addition to the wired system + students' mobile phones).

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a concerned member of the public and mother. These frequencies interfere with molecular biology and are not resonate to our bodies. It impedes the proper functioning of our bodies and disrupts our wellbeing. I consider it to be an environmental toxin, personally. I first learned about the dangers of EMF exposure when listening to a Health Summit on the matter in 2018. I learned that baby monitors were a very high emitter and immediately stopped using ours to monitor our developing infant. My husband and I also took measures to connect our electronics to the internet with cables rather than use WiFi, including our phones. We also stopped using any Bluetooth devices. Sadly, there are spaces that I cannot protect my family from, such as my son's school. We were able to at least put him in a school that was not right next to a 5G tower, something that happened about half a mile from our house. We opted for a school that was a 15 minute drive from our house rather than expose him to 5G radiation while at school. If this isn't a crime against humanity, I do not know what is. My husband and I are exposed at work and anywhere else we go in town, really. With all the 5G mini towers on tops of buildings throughout town, we feel safest at home and when we're deep out in nature. I recently heard that nature has tech in certain areas so I will be sure to bring my EMF reader to check out my favorite nature areas. We all have the right to know what we are being exposed to, ideally the right to choose not to be exposed in the first place. It would be ideal if our government wanted protections in place for everyone's well being. If only well being was put before money and "convenience". It isn't very convenient to have leukemia or whatever other cancers they're linking to high EMF exposure. Our nervous systems are deeply affected. We all need to take a hard look at the reality of things instead of sticking our heads in the sand. This is not hard to understand. It's only hard to understand if people are concerned about money; the government can print more if they want to anyway. Stop worrying about money and care about the well being of others. Am I altruistic? Yes. Do I know that we are capable of being better to each other and the planet? Yes. We are totally capable. I pray that decisions are made that will make our world a better place to live in. For our health, for our planet, for the animals... Please make healthy decisions when it comes to this matter. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a parent who is also affected negatively by the radiation. My oldest daughter developed unexplainable headaches and overall disturbing body sensations that left her distracted and unable to focus at school due to the close proximity of 2 cell towers placed literally in the elementary school yard. We took her out of school and within 2 days all of her symptoms disappeared. I am also very impacted and my health suffers when I am exposed to this radiation. I do my best to avoid it but it’s becoming less possible as more towers are being installed daily. I suffer from extreme brain fog and disturbing body sensations as well as extreme fatigue.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a concerned member of the public I have personally been negatively affected by wireless towers in my health. I cannot get a proper sleep cycle when I am within 200 yards of a tower - it has also affected my cognitive abilities - I am unable to focus and do my work and have experienced sickness from said towers as well. Because of my sensitivity I am unable to travel to certain areas and have to be careful where I roam. This is unacceptable and deeply concerns me for all in my community that experience this.

I am submitting this comment as a consumer concerned and someone who is on the board of a nonprofit organization where we research the effects of toxins in our food and environment on child development, about long-term exposure to wireless radiation from phones, Wi-Fi routers, cell towers, and other connected devices. Cell Towers should not be legally allowed to be on schoolgrounds across America, yet they are in my town. I joined the School Health Advisory Council to address this issue as the head of the Student Environmental Health Subcommittee. However, it's an uphill battle, but if you make a law that cell towers can't be on school grounds, then the school district would have no choice but to take these cell towers down. I urge HHS to conduct a thorough, independent review of whether current exposure limits adequately protect public health. This review needs to consider those most heavily exposed and should examine potential effects beyond tissue heating, including evidence concerning cancer, reproductive health, and children’s development. Please prioritize research that reflects how people actually encounter wireless radiation: repeated exposure over many years, often from multiple sources and devices used close to the body. Assessments should consider signal strength, pulse patterns, duration, and combined exposure. Please consider Melnick and Moskowitz’s 2026 analysis of animal data, which argues that existing exposure limits may inadequately protect against cancer and reproductive harm (https://doi.org/10.1186/s12940-026-01288-6). I also ask HHS to evaluate Lai and Levitt’s review of exposure intensity, duration, and signal modulation (https://doi.org/10.1080/15368378.2022.2065683), and Scarato’s review of US regulatory gaps and proposed reforms (https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2025.1677583). These papers warrant careful consideration alongside the broader evidence, including studies that have not found adverse effects. I ask HHS to: •Assess whether additional protections are needed for children, pregnant women, and other potentially vulnerable groups. •Support long-term research with safeguards against industry conflicts of interest. •Provide clear information about exposure and practical ways to reduce it, including wired alternatives in homes and schools. •Recommend updated standards wherever the evidence shows that existing limits are insufficient. Consumers should not have to navigate these questions alone. Please use this inquiry to advance transparent science, meaningful oversight, and public health protection.

I am severely affected by wireless radiation. It happened when I was in my car using my cell phone and trying out my newly received hearing aids with their blue tooth connection, Right afterwards whenever I passed a telephone line I noticed I felt a lot of pressure on my head and it wase extremely uncomfortable. After that I could not be around telephone lines, cell phones, cell towers, mortems, and other types of EMF sources. In fact I had to sleep in my car away from all these sources. Someone told me about a neurotoxicologist who knew about this problem. He didn't have any answers at that time, but was researching the problem. Later someone told me to contact him again, which I did. The doctor had come out of retirement to research a medicine that had helped someone else. He gave me the same prescription to try and it cut my reactions to the EMF's by about half, but then again, he needed to retire. The Dr. was 96 or 97 at the time and his name is Dr. Gunnar Heuser or maybe Hueser. I could not have him help me anymore as I mentioned as he had retired again, Dr. Heuser may not be alive by now--that was about 4 years ago, but my regular doctors know about my problem. Even though the medicine Dr. Heuser gave me cut my reactions about half, my life is still very affected. I now have a landline and can only use my cell phone in emergencies, cannot be around most other people's phones or computers, cell towers, and most modems which means there are many events I cannot attend, eat out unless far away from others phones, or spend anytime in my car if parked by a type of car that has high EMF output. I have met other people also affected EMF's, and I am especially concerned for children who live or go to schools near cell towers I do not want ANYONE to go through what I have been though. Also I would like people who carry their phones which are always on, on their bodies or anyone else that may be affected by the EMF outputs knew about these risks. Please help us!
