Towers have a debilitative effect on humans and in the end cause cancer and people die. A friend of ours was asked to put a tower on his property. He was a wealthy trust fund person, fit, healthy with trails throughout his land for mountain biking, hiking, cross country, snow mobiles, etc. He was youngish — mid life 40s and died of cancer. Exactly corresponds to the placing of the tower and a fairly long decline combined with killer therapies that hospitals call "protocols." If people only knew that chemo only works less than 3% of the time; puts the cancer and the entire immune system in a dormant state only to come back with vengeance after the first "therapy" is done, and the need to go back for another $100K of protocols, and another, until death and bankruptcy, but that's not the story of the towers. A girlfriend was renting an apartment and the utility box was on the outside of the building right above her bedroom. She died and left her 13 year old daughter behind. She knew but couldn't find another place to live that she could afford. Another killed by logistics and hospital "therapies." Those are just two stories of many. Group of architects in an interesting building but also had a utility tower next to them that had God only knows what attached to it, multiple cancers in that office. One of the partners investigated and used EMF and scan readers I don't recall the numbers but they were all too high. More stories . . . We all use wifi it's not good for us either. Keeping things wired is a better option. It would be nice for people to know. Long time use causes brain fog. Also to know the purpose of these hugely strong towers, there was nothing wrong with 3G it worked it wasn't as strong. Why do they need more power what is the purpose. People say it's AI / SI so OK, at what cost to our health? Live in a rural area was very disappointed when they stuck a tower on the top of one of our beautiful mountains. Would love to live in a place again without a cell signal. I hope you can do something about the health risks of this technology.

Independent experts concur that the 1996 RFR exposure limits remain ineffective because they were based on thermal heating of tissue, while ignoring lower frequencies. Studies based on thermal heating used a 200 lb male dummy and a water filled balloon for head exposure. Debilitating health effects occur at much lower frequency levels. Health impacts for pregnant women, babies, children and those working in fields with chronic exposures weren't considered. Fast forward thirty years, and the amount of RFR emitting devices and ambient RFR levels has skyrocketed. The proliferation of cell phones, cell towers, 5G, 6G, antennas, WiFi, smart meters, and other smart products is unprecedented. No federal agency has assessed/evaluated the impacts on human health and our environment by addressing these combined multiple exposures. Requesting public comment and subsequently amending exposure limits to ensure safety is urgently needed.Major areas of concern include: impacts on children, the environment, EHS individuals and the cumulative, involuntary exposure most people encounter every day.  As a grandmother, I'm extremely worried about the constant RFR exposure experienced by our children and its long term effects. Children are more susceptible to environmental harms as they are smaller physically and in the process of developing. Their skulls are thinner, allowing more radiation to penetrate. Many schools now default to wireless connectivity with no evidence of safety, subjecting our children to this invisible toxin daily. An increasing number of people experience Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity due to current excessive exposure levels. This involuntary exposure while navigating work and/or public spaces is impossible to avoid.  Many individuals through repeated exposure develop hypersensitivity and must actively avoid all exposures. Personally, I find airports intolerable. I experience headaches, vision problems and brain fog that lingers for hours. My home is hard-wired with ethernet cables and I keep my cell phone on airplane mode when not in use. Additionally, unless a state has enacted a no-fee opt-out, involuntary exposures include Smart Meters, which emit continuous pulsed radiation. The natural world is similarly affected. It is known that RFR radiation affects bees and migratory birds, disrupting their ability to navigate and forage effectively. Flora and fauna are known to experience die-offs in close proximity to cell towers. In 2021, Kent Chamberlin Chairman, Emeritus of Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of New Hampshire concluded one of the key recommendations of the New Hampshire Commission to Study The Environmental and Health Effects of Evolving 5G Technology is that cell towers be placed no nearer than 1,640 feet from places where people live, work or recreate. This 500 meter setback should become immediate public policy. There should be an immediate moratorium on any new devices while safety studies are performed to evaluate the countless RFR emitting products already on the market.  European Union study finds children absorb more wireless radiation than adults across rangeof 5G frequencies - EHNhttps://www.ehn.org/5g-wireless-radiation-children-exposure 1 The FCC Is Supposed to Protect the Environment.

I am submitting this comment as a concerned member of the public, a parent, and a family member who is deeply concerned about the potential effects of wireless technology and radiofrequency (RF) radiation on our homes and families. My Personal Experience with Wireless Home Internet My concerns became more immediate when I switched internet providers and installed T-Mobile home internet in my home. Before I made the switch, my daughter reminded me that I had previously told her I sometimes feel uneasy when I can sense that someone's microwave oven is operating nearby. She was surprised that I would choose to bring wireless internet equipment into my home, given what I had told her. Her comment made me stop and reconsider my decision. Approximately one week after installing T-Mobile home internet, I noticed that my Golden Pothos, a hanging plant I had cared for for 20 to 25 years, began to deteriorate. Its leaves turned brown and fell to the floor. For decades, this plant had been full, healthy, and beautiful in the same location. I was perplexed by its sudden decline. Concerned by the timing, I promptly canceled the service and returned to cable internet. Unfortunately, I ultimately had to replace my longtime plant. My Concerns About Changes in My Family My concerns extend beyond my own home. I became increasingly troubled by changes I observed in my daughter's emotional state and family relationships after she and her husband moved into a newly built home in Florida. Their home contained numerous connected technologies, including smart door locks, a smart security system, televisions, cell phones, and internet-connected devices. After they moved, family members and I noticed what appeared to be a significant change in her demeanor and in the way she and her husband interacted with their young child. They seemed increasingly impatient, and I was deeply troubled by the harsh way they spoke to their baby. Neither seemed to have much patience with the child. These changes concerned me greatly as a parent and grandparent. Over time, my relationship with my daughter deteriorated, and she eventually became estranged from me. I continue to worry about the child's well-being. I cannot say with certainty that wireless radiation caused these changes. However, the timing of these events has left me deeply concerned and questioning whether environmental factors in our homes may play a role in changes in people's emotional states, behavior, and relationships. Family estrangement is deeply painful. I cannot help but wonder whether factors in our modern environment, including wireless radiation and other environmental exposures, deserve consideration when trying to understand troubling changes in ourselves and our loved ones. Conclusion I am submitting this comment because I believe my personal experiences are worth sharing as part of the public discussion about EMFs, RF radiation, and wireless technology exposure. The decline of a plant I had cared for over two decades and the troubling changes I observed in my family have left me with questions and concerns I cannot ignore. Although I cannot establish a direct connection between these experiences and wireless radiation, I believe they are important to document. As a parent and family member, my greatest concern is the well-being of our children and the people we love. I hope that sharing my experiences will contribute to a better understanding of the concerns some members of the public have about wireless technology in their homes. Thank you for considering my comment

I am electrohypersensitive and I really feel bad when I'm near a phone with an active internet connection, and also near wifi and antennas, and in general in places with a lot of people and active connections. I develope: headache, tiredness, weakness and bad mood. My muscles also hurt. When I have the opportunity to stay in safe places (such a rare thing!), like for istance in the nature, I feel really good, without any problem. When I come back to the exposition it is very disturbing. I think we could avoid a lot of exposition using the cable (I do in my home) and having a better consciousness of the problem. And also using the wireless connection very much better and less than now.

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 patient and victim of what feels like intentional harm to my wellbeing and that of other human beings. In 2017, I became extremely ill from exposure to Wifi frequencies, electric and magnetic fields. I was in my late 50’s and forced into an early “retirement”. I could no longer keep any job and function anywhere near other people, electronics and modern buildings, shopping centers, basically most public environments. I lost all contact with friends, family members and others due to the fact I had to remove myself from location where cell phones, laptops, wifi networks were in use. I went to the best clinic in the nation that does double-blinded clinical trials on EMF hypersensitivity and was officially diagnosed and told the only way to recover my health was to exit basically society and find a remote place to live. My symptoms included brain fog so bad my short-term memory was gone, nausea, panic attacks, a buzzing sensation in my legs that lasts for days, bone pain, the feeling of internal heat and red skin, skin rashes, extreme constant fatigue not helped by any amount of sleep, the desire to way overeat, total lack of energy to do any household chores or exercise, depression, increased blood pressure. The only thing that has helped has been to remove myself from society, turn off the electricity, use ethernet cables (no wifi) and sit far away from a desktop computer. I do not use a cell phone nor any “smart” modern devices. I can’t ride in any modern cars full of EMF fields and are constantly bouncing signals of cell towers and other cards on roadways. You don’t seem to understand that this EMF technology is fueling all types of diseases – making them happen faster. As long as you focus on the symptoms instead looking at the core body’s reaction to being assaulted by frequencies that are not natural in ever increasing strength you will never resolve anything. Almost 10 years later, I have only recovered slightly and exposure to modern cars, public spaces, people’s homes full of toxic EMFs still triggers intense symptoms to include intense immediate pain, nausea, migraine headaches, edema, buzzing in the nervous system (lasts for days), brain fog and panic attacks. The increase in 4G to 5G is easily felt in my body and has intensified the response to exposure from this technology. It is a complete lie to say that this type of radiation does not affect the body. I am dumbfounded that a recognized disability with ICD-10 coding produces zero accommodation from the ADA department of the government. I feel like people like me, our lives, mean absolutely nothing to a modern society on a path to the internet of things – all living things to be incorporated into some global network. Modern people have become so addicted to their devices that it is tearing apart our society, families are being broken apart. Children think their parents are insane for asking cell phones be turned off. I have met many people personally who are in the same situation of all ages. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Yet I do not hold out much hope as our society has placed dollars, governmental controls, winning some global tech race over human beings, animals, plants and the natural order of creation, against the very Creator of all life. I urge HHS to carefully consider the environment it operates in. What good is any research if the other branches of our government, other agencies, are bought by industry and global interests? Will your efforts to do any more research do any good? So many research studies already exist pointing to this technology’s harmful biological effects and yet it has had zero impact on slowing down the march to technological destruction of the biological life by those that want to create a new race of people that are hybrid human beings.

Thank you for the opportunity to submit a comment. I absolutely oppose the 2-way wireless radiation emitting smart meters and digital meters that have been forced on Americans’ homes, including mine. Additionally I am very concerned about increasing levels of other sources of electromagnetic radiation and how exposure will affect all Americans, especially my family, as well as the enviroment. Over 1,000 peer-reviewed scientific studies have demonstrated serious adverse health effects from the wireless radiation coming from our cell phones, cell towers, and "Smart" meters radiating our homes 24/7. This includes DNA damage, infertility and reproductive damage, cardiac effects and arrest, neurological conditions (anxiety, depression, Alzheimers), immune system dysfunction, and cancer. Environmental Health Trust provides a list of scientific evidence on this webpage that I am including with my submission. https://ehtrust.org/send-science-to-the-fcc-govt-is-asking-for-evidence-you-can-help-now/ The FCC was sued in 2021 for failing to update their safety guidelines for human exposure limits that were established in 1996 when we were using 2G wireless technologies, not the 4G and 5G we have today. The lawsuit was successful, but now over 5 years later the FCC still has not responded to the court and is refusing to regulate the Telecoms. The reality is NO ONE is measuring our cumulative daily human exposure of EMF “electrosmog” coming from all of our current sources of wireless radiation including 4G/5G “mega” towers, 5G small cells, and the EMF pulsing Smart meters attached to our homes. https://ehtrust.org/in-historic-decision-federal-court-finds-fcc-failed-to-explain-why-it-ignored-scientific-evidence-showing-harm-from-wireless-radiation/ Because I am aware of the health risks, I have tried my best to create a safe healthy environment in my home. We do not have WIFI in our home and haven't for years. Instead we use hard-wired internet. We kindly ask anyone entering our home to please turn off their Cellular Data, Bluetooth, and WIFI on their phones and tablets as my husband and I do the same when we are in our home. Rarely do we need to use the internet on our phones but if we do, we do it quickly and away from our son and then once we are done, we make sure to turn it back off, immediately. We have asked our neighbors to apply faraday cages on their utility meters and they gladly obliged. We take all these measures, and I could go on listing more, because we are aware of the dangers. We do the best we can, to control what we can, knowing once we leave our house, it's a battle zone of cell towers and cell phones. I ask that HHS do everything in its power to better protect Americans from increasing sources of “electrosmog.”

I have gradually become increasingly sensitive to mobile phones and Wi-Fi. I only use my mobile for text messages, and at home, I have a wired internet connection. Being in places where many people are using mobile phones is uncomfortable, even for short periods. I get headaches and feel sluggish and tired. I’ve become the person who frequently has to step outside for some fresh air. I am aware of the nocebo effect, and I try very hard to convince myself that I can tolerate some level of radiation. Without that, it would be impossible to live in today’s society.

5G is dangerous and being weaponized against the people in conjunction with the development of the Covid "vaccine" which is not a vaccine, but a bioterrorist invention without any positive medical value. The 5G frequency range is designated as military and is peculiar as such. The 5G can penetrate human tissue and can send signals of release to graphene oxide cages housing toxic poisons or pathogens from the Covid shot long ago. Three one minute bursts at around 18 gigahertz are designated to do this by unknown operatives in the rogue or deep state control of our government. It can be accomplished because the wavelength of the signal is so small such that the graphene tubular particle is tuned to this frequency range. 5G is a terrorist weapon in this regard as it can burst open the graphene, releasing the payload inside of it on signal. Such a payload may be of snake venom toxin or a virus or other biological particle. *** We do not need the high efficiency of speed of transmission of 5G in normal life blanketing every corner of space. It is not needed for simple tasks on a mobile basis. Serious needs can be done by coaxial cable or fiber optics and in secure ways which we already have and in use for a long time. The wavelengths of 1G and 2G were sufficient and worked. *** 5G is also a cancer and health risk well documented by others. The 5G tower has a range of up to 20 miles, yet there are so many of these towers crammed unnecessarily close together giving a blanket coverage polluted with electromagnetic radiation. 5G coverage is oversaturated. The cancer risk is significantly increased by this overbuilding of these towers. *** In conclusion 5G is a health risk and a tool prone to misuse by weaponisation. Kindly get rid of it.

Dear People of HHS,ect my home I have been hurt by wireless signal for at least 20 years. I hear and feel signal. If I am unfortunate I am standing right where a sine wave from a cell tower lands. Then I feel excrutiating pain, as if my ears are being drilled all the way through my brain . I have to move away quickly . It hurts so much . I hear ambient signal all the time .Quiet has been stolen from my life . I have done numerous remedies to try to protect my home. I have planted iron-rich soil and some metal rods around my house , hoping to ground the signal. Wireless signal is attracted to the electricity running trough the wires in our home. Their union causes dirty electricity that is also audible to me . I keep the eletriscty turned off in one part of my house. I have slept under an iron mesh curtain for many years . I still hear signal . There are a few nature places where I find quiet, but they are few and require travel . I am convinced that so called tinnitis is actually people hearing signal. I hate 5G . I believe it is bad for all life. The countries with NO 5 G had NO Covid !!!! Please band EMFRadiatoion and use fiber optic wires ! After every increase in electrification on Earth, a pandemic follows !!! HELP !!!

Re-evaluate exposure standards beyond simple thermal heating limits ​The Issue: Current federal guidelines (primarily based on FCC limits established in 1996) focus almost exclusively on preventing immediate thermal tissue heating (the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR limit) over short timeframes. ​The Recommendation: HHS should urge inter-agency coordination (with the FDA, CDC, and FCC) to evaluate non-thermal, long-term biological pathways. Current research demonstrates that fields far weaker than those required to heat tissue can induce cellular responses, primarily through: ​Oxidative stress and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) generation, which can indirectly compromise cellular repair pathways and intracellular signaling over time. ​Disruption of cellular calcium homeostasis, affecting membrane dynamics and cellular stress protocols. ​2. Address cumulative, multi-source exposure in real-world environments ​The Issue: Safety thresholds are currently tested on individual devices in isolation (e.g., testing a single smartphone near a model head). ​The Recommendation: HHS should fund public health surveillance and exposure modeling that reflects modern, real-world conditions. Modern environments involve concurrent, continuous exposures from multiple sources—including Wi-Fi networks, smart meters, cellular networks, wearables, and spatial transmission antennas—operating simultaneously over decades. ​3. Establish specialized protective frameworks for vulnerable populations ​The Issue: Uniform safety thresholds assume a standardized adult physiology and do not account for biological variability across demographics. ​The Recommendation: Regulatory guidelines should implement explicit safety margins for sensitive populations: ​Children and Adolescents: Thinner skull bones, higher water content in biological tissue, and developing nervous systems lead to deeper relative RF energy penetration. ​Occupational Workers: Individuals with prolonged high-density field exposures in specific industries or environments. ​Medical Device Users: Individuals with implanted cardiac or neurological electronics sensitive to external field interference. ​4. Clear scientific terminology and clear public communication ​The Issue: The term "radiation" often creates confusion between high-energy ionizing radiation (such as X-rays or nuclear fallout, which cause direct DNA strand breaks) and low-energy non-ionizing radiation (such as RF/EMF, which operate through indirect biophysical mechanisms). Public guidance is often either overly alarmist or dismissively vague. ​The Recommendation: HHS should establish clear, transparent public health communication based on precautionary principles: ​Clearly distinguish between ionizing damage and non-thermal cellular stress mechanisms. ​Provide practical, low-cost "exposure hygiene" guidance (e.g., hardwiring home networks, keeping transmitting devices at a distance from the body during sleep, using speakerphones) so citizens can reduce unnecessary chronic exposure without unnecessary panic. ​5. Prioritize independent, human-relevant research initiatives ​The Issue: Much of the existing literature relies on either high-dose animal studies (e.g., the National Toxicology Program study) or in-vitro petri dish models that do not translate directly to human systemic biology. ​The Recommendation: HHS should direct federal research funding toward: ​Longitudinal epidemiology tracking health outcomes in populations with measured (rather than self-reported) exposure data. ​Biomarker discovery to identify whether specific individuals possess heightened biological sensitivity to non-thermal fields.
