Claims electromagnetic exposure through the ear can alter hormones and behavior.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
EMF is known to enter through the ear where the resistance is least and cause all sorts of problems, including hormone stimulation to effect behaviour The angle of degrees to the canal is ~15• for prime exposure I expect this to have been said and docs uploaded, I have none.

Reports pain and headaches attributed to interactions between metal implants and nearby electrical and wi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have metal hardware in my body and I know what happened to metal in a microwave. I live across the street from powerlines and I’ve recently moved my router further away from my room and I’ve been doing a lot of study on frequencies and how they can affect us and there was a smart me to put on my house that I did not approve. I deal with physical pain every day and it gets even worse on the days it rains and I am just curious how old is frequencies are affecting me Because I have been getting frequent headaches

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The more we learn about frequencies and how they affect our health, it becomes apparent that the frequencies of 5G and other WiFi frequencies and the waves emitted from LED lights and cell phone magnetism are disruptive to the human physiology. It has been proven through a study at U of Washington that magnetic fields disrupt the dna in the brains of mice and yet, we have been allowed to be burdened by the electronic devices which have become Omni present and almost unavoidable in order to maintain communication with our loved ones. The old copper phone lines were far better for the protection of the family and society as a whole. The suitor wanted to reach our children- they called, the phone rang in the kitchen, everyone knew who had called and the family was able to protect the child. Today all of the communications are on mobile devices and our children are able to be privately courted on the internet by strangers who seek to use them and exploit them. This must change.

A healthcare professional reports patient and personal occupational symptoms, describes enduring sensitiv…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am commenting both as a health care professional and as a former employee exposed in an occupational setting. 1) Patient experiences: I have had several patients who believed they were being ill effected by EMF exposure, but one comes to mind. This patient had been previously healthy before fracturing her shoulder, which was repaired with a permanent Titanium plate implant. Since that time she has experienced headaches and frequent colds, flus, and respiratory infections which are worse when in proximity to various microwave emitting devices including various screens and satellite dishes etc. She keeps her phone wrapped in a piece of silver cloth and has hired a professional to evaluate and mitigate her home and it has helped. 2) My occupational experience: I worked at the Museum of Science and Industry in 1993-94 where I demonstrated different forms of electric waves in a show called "Electric Theater" that had been resurrected from the 1950s as part of the Hundred Year Anniversary of the museum. When I was not doing this show,I was in the Communications exhibit demonstrating the conversion of analogue sound to light, as part of an early AOL exhibit and cathode ray televisions from other exhibits. Over the course of about 6 months I became sicker and sicker with headaches, fatigue and general malaise, including frequent colds and flu. Eventually a research scientist from PA, who was attending an R & D Banquet at the museum visited me in the Communications exhibit and as we conversed and I relayed that I didn't feel well, mentioned EMF toxicity. She walked me outside to a high tension wire strung overhead and asked me if I could feel the EMFs coming from the wire and I could. I would also mention that the museum has a copper roof. I left this job soon after, but found that I became ill when sitting in front of a computer for too long. This was remedied when liquid silver screens were introduced, but I am still very sensitive to phones and certain batteries, such as those in the early electric cars. Certain ones are better than others. The conclusion that I have come to, based on the patient discussed and other patients, is that people with metal implants in their bones and teeth are more prone than others to EMF harms, and that extreme exposure creates a sensitivity from which it can take many years to recover.

Raises concerns about power-line and other EMF exposure, quotes criticism of technology companies, and su…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
There are many studies indicating harm to of EMF on human beings not just from high-end technology but also power lines. Also, please consider statements from Nicole Shanahan (former spouse of Google founder Sergey Brin) on this video link where she states "These Technologies can be made safe but big Tech is in bed with big Pharma. They can be made safe… We are an electrochemical species and we are indeed short-circuited at a cellular level… We are being polluted both electrically and chemically on a daily basis… What are we getting in exchange? We are getting an augmented transhumanist future. It’s not worth it." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chrFU_XATuw See attached statement from foremost recognized SME on EMF Dr. Robert O. Becker (The Body Electric) before the House Subcommittee on Water and Power Resources, October 6, 1987, regarding the dangers of powerline EMF.

Criticizes thermal limits, describes tinnitus varying with location, raises reproductive and neurological…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The present state of regulation address only short term thermal effects from RF radiation. Non-thermal and long term effects are not addressed. However when they occur they are actually short term. Symptoms may vary from potentially causing tumor, by different effects from braking DNA, over oxidative stress that cause many sorts of disturbances. Further is associated to EHS or electro hypersensitivity syndrome, such as headaches, memory loss, tinnitus, problems of concentration, sleeping disorder, anxiety, depression and the other variety of symptoms. The last but not least is the impact on fertility. Studies on moused have indicated strong correlation. My personal opinion is when located in the large city on strong infrastructure, ther use to be tinnitus, when going to the small place on the seaside with lower exposure levels, tinnitus release significantly. The present sate of limits is to ICNIRP up to 10 W/m2 power flux for the general population. However that level is the limit for thermal effects, the non thermal appear at much lower levels in extended time of exposure, such as commonly considered levels over 10 microW/m2. That it difference in exposure of million times under official limits or 60 dB. Recommended levels by independet science are even lower and are considered additionally 100 times or 20dB lower. That may be close to levels that existed before massive base stations deployment, when only TV transmitters were available. Still todays exposure levels to limits are 100 million billions times higher then the natural radio frequency background levels or up 170 dB higher as to some research. That does not match the evolutionary adaptation. The main problem are mobile phone base stations as they present non-stop exposure and they are not a matter of personal choice. On the other hand mobile phones, WI-FI or DECT phones can present some higher levels of exposure on short distance, but they are the matter of personal choice and time of exposure could be chosen on functional preference. As to deployment of wi-fi for schools it is important to note that they cause in vicinity the same radiation as base stations on about 50 meters distance. Many studies on base stations like those done in Minas Gerais Brazil, in the Naila Germany that effects are most dominant in distances up to 500 meters and they even indicated correlation of symptoms by the distance. So the question is how could modern technology like those radiation emitters improve the quality of life if it cause insomnia, tinnitus, depression, sleeping disturbance or any other more severe diseases? If only the infertility rates are increase it can endanger national security as to the possible loss of domestic population. The solution to the problem is to use landlines and cable internet, as all functions can be done, even better, as optical internet is much safer and more reliable then wireless also the classic cable phone instead of mobile or DECT as it completely solves the functional need at any stationary location. Wireless communication makes sense only for airplanes, ships and satellites as the only option. In the car mobile phones are not allowed for use. The other question is where is such emergency that the average person should be in access at any moment? The average person is not ambulance, fireman or police for a need to instant access. Additionally constant exposure to information and access is related to significant stress and reduction in mental health, besides the radiation. As the degraded health can no more be purchased for money, the trade of health for money by the use of radiation exposure devices is not a good deal. They are prone to cause addiction, stress, loss of personal communication, physical and mental health degradation, there is no justification for its use, as all the rational jobs can be done on desktop computers, classic phone and landline internet, without radiation exposure. Costs of health in long term can significantly increase and the trick used by agencies is there is no evidence for side effects in the short term as from those protect the regulation. Actually the regulation protects industry from law suites rather then people from the radiation effects. In the attachement the excellent and wide coverage study from the Austrian health department and Austrian medical chamber, by Dr. Oberfeld, the great exert on environment and independent radiation research. In hope for better public education on risks from radiation exposure and removal of radiation exposure sources. Kind regards, Robert Markusic, ing.med.radiology & mag.oec.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
See attached file(s) 2.45 GHz Microwave Radiation Impairs Learning and Spatial Memory via Oxidative/Nitrosative Stress Induced p53-Dependent/Independent Hippocampal Apoptosis: Molecular Basis and Underlying Mechanism 2015 ABSTRACT A close association between microwave (MW) radiation exposure and neurobehavioral disorders has been postulated but the direct effects of MW radiation on central nervous system still remains contradictory. This study was performed to understand the effect of short (15 days) and long-term (30 and 60 days) low-level MW radiation exposure on hippocampus with special reference to spatial learning and memory and its underlying mechanism in Swiss strain male mice, Mus musculus. Twelve-weeks old mice were exposed to 2.45 GHz MW radiation (continuous-wave [CW] with overall average power density of 0.0248 mW/cm? and overall average whole body specific absorption rate value of 0.0146 W/Kg) for 2 h/day over a period of 15, 30, and 60 days). Spatial learning and memory was monitored by Morris Water Maze. We have checked the alterations in hippocampal oxidative/nitrosative stress, neuronal morphology, and expression of pro-apoptotic proteins (p53 and Bax), inactive executioner Caspase- (pro-Caspase-3), and uncleaved Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 in the hippocampal subfield neuronal and nonneuronal cells (DG, CA1, CA2, and CA3). We observed that, short-term as well as long-term 2.45 GHz MW radiation exposure increases the oxidative/nitrosative stress leading to enhanced apoptosis in hippocampal subfield neuronal and nonneuronal cells. Present findings also suggest that learning and spatial memory deficit which increases with the increased duration of MW exposure (15 < 30 < 60 days) is correlated with a decrease in hippocampal subfield neuronal arborization and dendritic spines. These findings led us to conclude that exposure to CW MW radiation leads to oxidative/nitrosative stress induced p53-dependent/independent activation of hippocampal neuronal and nonneuronal apoptosis associated with spatial memory loss. Key words: microwave radiation; hippocampal apoptosis; learning and spatial memory; oxidative and nitrosative stress; neurocytoarchitecture

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
See attached file(s) Permeability of the Blood-Brain Barrier Induced by 91 5 MHz Electromagnetic Radiation, Continuous Wave and Modulated at 8, 16, 50, and 200 Hz ABSTRACT Biological effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) can be studied in sensitive and specific models. In a previous investigation of the permeability of the blood-brain barrier after exposure to the various EMF-components of proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we found that the exposure to MRI induced leakage of Evans Blue labeled proteins normally not passing the BBB of rats [Salford et al. (1992), in: Resonance Phenomena in Biology, Oxford University Press, pp. 87-911. In the present investigation we exposed male and female Fischer 344 rats in a transverse elec- tromagnetic transmission line chamber to microwaves of 915 MHz as continuous wave (CW) and pulse-modulated with repetition rates of 8,16, 50, and 200 s-’. The specific energy absorption rate (SAR) varied between 0.016 and 5 Wlkg. The rats were not anesthetized during the 2-hour exposure. All animals were sacrificed by perfusion-fixation of the brains under chloral hydrate anesthesia about 1 hour after the exposure. The brains were perfused with saline for 3-4 minutes, and thereafter fixed in 4% formaldehyde for 5-6 minutes. Central coronal sections of the brains were dehydrated and embedded in paraffin and sectioned at 5 pm. Albumin and fibrinogen were demonstrated immunohistochemically. The results show albumin leakage in 5 of 62 of the controls and in 56 of 184 of the animals exposed to 915 MHz microwaves. Continuous wave resulted in 14 positive findings of 35, which differ significantly from the controls (P = 0.002). With pulsed 915 MHz microwaves with repetition rates of 200,50, 16, and 8 s-l, 42 of 149 were positive, which is highly significant at the P = 0.001 level. This reveals that both CW and pulsed 915 MHz microwaves have the potential to open up the BBB for albumin passage. However, there is no significant difference between continuous and pulsed 915 MHz microwaves in this respect. The frequency of occurrence of extravasates (26%) was found to be independent of SAR for SAR < 2.5 W/kg, but rose significantly for the higher SAR values (to 43%). The question of whether the opening of the blood-brain barrier constitutes a health hazard demands further investigation.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
See attached file(s) ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS AND HUMAN HEALTH. FUNDAMENTAL AND APPLIED RESEARCH SEPTEMBER, 17-24, 2002 MOSCOW - SAINT PETERSBURG, RUSSIA 1. THE GENERAL PROBLEMS OF EMF INVESTIGATION CONCEPT OF INFORMATION SUPPORT FOR MOBILE PHONE USERS SAFETY ON THE BASIS OF PRECAUTIONARY POLICY REALISATION IN PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES. Grigoriev O.A.1, Vasiliev O.A.2, Bichelday E.P.1 1National fund for non-ionizing radiation protection, Moscow, Russia 2Russian Ministry of public health department for State epidemiological inspection, Moscow, Russia Mobile telecommunication is rapidly developing as an element of social technological infrastructure. However none of the specialised scientific organisation could confirm, that mobile phones EMF is unharmful for human health. Numerous researches reveals more questions than answers. World health organisation consider, that the consequences from mobile phones’ EMF exposure of individuals as well as human population in whole aren’t known enough , therefore we have to continue the scientific researches and provide the precautionary policy. According to precautionary principle we have to make all efforts to decrease the risk for human health, even finally unproved. Mobile telecommunication systems drastic increasing, though we have no final results of EMF biological influence researches. It means that mobile phones’ value for society is more important factor, comparing with real and possible risks for human health. Refer to the law project “About the basis of technical regulation in Russian Federation” sellers should provide goods safety for consumers, this means that mobile phones’ sellers and manufactures have to confirm their equipment safety. However it takes time to adopt the law and work out the mechanism of its realisation. In such conditions we consider that the most actual and rather fast method to provide the population safety is let to know the objective and actual information that allows to generate own opinion and make realised choice in all aspects of the problem «Mobile phones and health». Such programs should be aimed to mobile phones services’ consumers (voluntary risk group) as well as to other population who don't use mobile phones, but exposed by mobile telecommunication EMF (involuntary risk group. Now authors are developing the information support complex for population “Mobile telecommunication and human health”, which includes the web-site (www.ecopole.ru), popular scientific book and several leaflets names as “Mobile phones”, “Base stations”, “To children up to 16 is not recommended ” THE RUSSIAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON NON-IONIZING RADIATION PROTECTION AND PROBLEM OF ELECTROMAG- NETIC SAFETY OF THE POPULATION Grigoriev Yu.G. $9,90 #080,7. 03970 3899:90 41 458.8 .3897 41 0,9 #:88,3 0/07,943 Moscow, Russia Now Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection carries out (spend) the constant analysis of achievement of scientific community on a problem of electromagnetic safety of the population, as well as recommendations of the World health organization (WHO) and International commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). We also make an estimation of a real situation in the country. The committee recognizes presence of a problem of probable adverse in- fluence EMF on health of the population. For last 35-40 years we have a sufficient material giving an opportunity to establish dose dependence EMF, as well as influence frequency characteristics EMF on bioeffects. However, now there is the important establishment fact of cumulation of bioeffects in conditions repeated and chronic EMF exposure of small inten- sity. Pays on itself attention a completely new situation in connection with wide use of cellular communication. The large group of the users by cellular telephones has daily EMF irradiation of structures periphery of nervous system and head brain, on the one hand, and the overwhelming part of the population is exposed to a constant compulsory EMF irradiation from base stations, on the other hand. There is till now unsolved problem of a role of EMF modulation in development of bioeffects. This problem practically is not taken into account in definition MPE of EMF. The members of Committee give the large attention to a scientific substantiation and development of sanitary rules for EMF and harmonization of them with the international recommendations and standards, and also the decisions a WHO are taken into accoun
