Research & federal duties

Current US limits for wireless RF-EMF do not protect the public or wildlife from harm. The government’s ignorance of such a large body of scientific evidence for the biological effects of RF-EMF exposure takes us back to the Dark Ages or rather Stone Ages. The entire industry line is based on lack of biological effect, and that's echoed by ICNIRP and regulators including FCC because money talks. Let's face it folks, if this scandal was not about money, regulators would do their jobs and require safety testing, and respect public health risk prevention principles, instead of this ultra reckless attitude of exposing millions of innocent adults and children to a technology that's not only untested for safety, but also creating wireless radiation exposures at levels that extensive scientific studies clearly link to adverse health effects. Harm has been repeatedly documented at RF-EMF levels well below U.S. thermal standards which are based on the outdated and proven wrong assumption that heat is the only harm. I hope DHHS has the integrity to take this matter seriously and instead of actively and deliberately ignoring credible science as the FCC and FDA has done for years when it comes to RF-EMF exposure, to start acting responsibly and demand safety measures as you do with drugs and medical devices, and very importantly, public education on responsible use of technology. Thanks for your attention. Attachment: 8 scientific articles.

I am submitting this as a caregiver to my partner with severe EMF hypersensitivity and as someone with a milder form myself. After becoming aware/knowledgeable of the existence of this illness I noticed EMF reactions I had experienced myself I had previously ignored/dismissed. I have always felt burning or pain in my legs when having my laptop on my lap or pain in my hand with my mobile phone which if I ignore it, travels up my arm until my whole arm is burning. I always drove old cars with low electrics/radiofrequency with no issues but started feeling the burning in my hands touching the steering wheel in my newer model but only recognized this in retrospect. These issues started before I was even aware of EMFs. In September 2020, my partner became extremely ill and bedbound from one day to the next. He was very fit and healthy, lifting weights and walking 20km every day and eating healthy and one day collapsed after a flu like illness and described feeling a flash/snap in his brain. From then on he started having a myriad of symptoms which haven't eased, only changed at times for the last 6 years with not a single moment in those 6 years without at least 10 debilitating symptoms at once. Initially he was bedbound for weeks and couldn't tolerate any daylight or function at all. He was dismissed medically by multiple doctors despite ending up hospital several times and told his bloods were normal and they didn't know what was wrong with him. Since then we have been on a journey to discover the origin of his illness and seen multiple specialists and spent hundreds of hours of research and his condition has increased in intensity. At the time he was living in a house riddled with toxic moulds (proven by an ERMI later) and started to develop reactivity to many things including chemicals,smells,foods,cosmetics,synthetic materials and EMFs. The intensity of these reactions continued to increase until we became more aware of the source of the different reactions and were able to measure them and isolate what triggers caused which reaction. We have done measurements with EMF meters in many locations and I can 100% say my partner is able to feel with accuracy the level of EMFs by the symptoms he experiences. He reacts to levels FAR below the international safety guidelines.I know that there has been discussion that people react to the trigger as a trauma response and by calming the nervous system or using brain retraining they will not react and I can tell you that this is categorically not true. It may work for some but not my partner at all. He reacts to an exposure before the awareness he is being exposed eg. we go to nature spots far away from EMFs to ease his symptoms.He will tell me he is feeling awful and the next minute someone will walk around the corner with a phone. The has happened over and over. I am a counsellor and work with many clients with trauma and support brain retraining and I can say with confidence this is NOT a trauma response. My partner reacts to all kinds of EMF exposures differently and can often tell if it is radio frequency, electric or magnetic. The list of symptoms he experiences would cover an entire A4 sheet of paper so I will not list them all but in terms of EMFs specifically, he experiences headaches, full body pains, seizures (convulsing and unresponsive for up to half an hour), brain fog, memory issues, tinnitus, vertigo, burning sensations or skin rashes, insomnia, night sweats, nightmares, constant chronic fatigue, heart palpitations/heart racing, heaviness/stiffness, gut issues, mood swings amongst others. We have moved at least 5 times in the last 6 years and are moving again and have spent thousands on mitigation attempts which do help to a certain extent but finding a safe house is becoming impossible. We never use WIFI, rarely use a mobile phone and switch it off when not in use, only have one circuit on for several sockets but have all other circuit switches off at the breaker at all times and have protective shielding equipment but the EMF levels are still not safe and my partner is still deathly sick. He has no medical support as all doctors have washed their hands of him, no accommodations and no official diagnosis. We need extensive research without any funding conflicts carried out in a scientifically valid way. We need recognition of this condition medically and training so people are not left to die and live in primitive conditions, we need accommodations in rental clauses and work accommodations recognized and we need to create safe low EMF zones and protect these to create safe communities. The data is flawed and doesn't measure cumulative exposure to the levels we are experiencing now. Please take this seriously. People are dying whilst being ridiculed, neglected and forgotten and they do not have a voice as they cannot access the channels to have a voice (all these channels are online). I wrote this on behalf of my partner as he could not do this.

On behalf of the EFEIA Institute (Miami, Florida), I submit our organization's attached public comment, evidence summary and supporting proposal in response to HHS Request for Information, Docket No. HHS-OASH-2026-0397. This comment represents the perspective of a research entity. The attachments are an evidence summary and a national plan proposal, both prepared by EFEIA in October 2026. Disclosure: the undersigned is also founder and CTO of NOXTAK Corporation, which develops SPIRO electromagnetic-hygiene products; one source both documents cite evaluates SPIRO in two vehicles, and the 180 cases they describe were received by NOXTAK. A modern vehicle places traction batteries and power electronics alongside cellular modems, onboard hotspots, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ultra-wideband access systems, V2X equipment and radar, including interior radar in the 57 to 64 GHz band for child presence detection and road radar at 76 to 81 GHz, in a small occupied cabin used for repeated daily journeys by children, pregnant women, older adults, professional drivers and people with implanted devices. U.S. drivers spend about an hour a day at the wheel. National campaigns in Germany and Switzerland found low average fields with brief magnetic-field peaks, highest at the feet; in the German federal campaign, the reference values of the 1999 EU Council Recommendation were exceeded locally or briefly in all vehicles but one, while basic restrictions were never exceeded. Existing methods cover parts of this picture: IEC 62764-1 measures low-frequency magnetic fields from 1 Hz to 100 kHz and excludes intentionally transmitting antennas, UN Regulation No. 10 addresses electromagnetic compatibility, and FCC rules address RF exposure from mobile and portable devices and provide for multiple sources. No method yet connects the full installed source inventory, the occupied cabin, and the fields and absorbed energy in each occupant. The 2023 study funded by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy acknowledged temporal and spatial gaps that could have missed short events or the highest field values, and EFEIA's own study of two Tesla Model Y vehicles used instruments limited to frequencies below 6 GHz, which cannot capture 60 GHz or 76 to 81 GHz systems. NOXTAK has received 180 cases of people who attribute symptoms to electric vehicle use and sought help; both documents treat this as an author-reported case count, not a prevalence estimate, and propose a registry and clinical pathway to examine it. We urge HHS to support a coordinated 24-month national program with independent laboratory participation and an independent scientific steering process: a reproducible whole-cabin measurement protocol covering every installed band; a version-controlled library of real driving, charging and connectivity scenarios; a validated occupant dosimetry atlas with child, pregnant and adult anatomical models; a consented symptom registry and staged clinical research below established thermal thresholds; a technology-neutral method for evaluating mitigation claims; and recommendations for a whole-vehicle evidence requirement with change control and a complaint reporting channel. HHS and its research agencies would guide the health evidence, with DOT and NHTSA on vehicle integration and transportation safety, the FCC on RF equipment and exposure requirements, and NIST, universities and independent laboratories on measurement traceability. This comment responds to questions 4(k), 4(l), 4(m), 5(n), 5(o), 5(p), 7, 8, 9, 10(a), 10(f), 11(a) to 11(f), 12, 13(i), 16, 17 and 18.

To US HHS and. Robert Kennedy Jr Dear Robert As a fellow Irishman I feel I know you. I first came across you giving a speech in Berlin summer 2000, "this is a bit more like it" I thought at the time. I was in France, organising a 5G demonstration in Lyons with Collectif 1815. My Grandfather is a Hero of Ireland having fought in the Easter Rising, then the Tan war. My Godfather is probably the 3rd most famous terrorist in the world, after Anders Brevik and Osama Bin Ladin. But Brendan Behan is known as a playwrite and novelist, not as an IRA man. But would either of these ancestors have bothered had they known that within a few decades of their courageous acts the entire world would be poisoned by toxic microwaves? Microwaves are toxic, they have always been toxic, they have never not been toxic. Microwaves toxicity is not new. But tell someone today and they will laugh in your face I have carried our surveys recently. Microwave toxicity is a thought that cannot be thought today. The best work on this is Stenek The Microwave Debate (MIT Press) and Paul Brodeur The Zapping of America (from 1977) I see many excellent contributions From Collas Diallis Collectif 1815 From Einar Flydal from Norway From Radiation Research UK From Camilla Rees (USA) To that I have little to add so I will not take your time nor load you with even more copy Just Robert is welcome here anytime I live in a cabin in west Sweden with no electricity and very low microwaves by contemporary standards, no water, cand heating is by a Norwegian wood oven. Many of us live like this, or try to! Such places are hard to find. It is bliss compared to a flat in the city. To me such places are like pig styes. C'mon over Robert, but you do the cooking! I have seen a few videos from Robert guiding people to make more healthy food. One more thing It is really happening And no one will belive it, I know this as I have tried Below sould be a Lancet Publication from Karolinska, Anna Johansson. It shows Cancer rates significant increase over the last 20 years. from the time 3G was introduced to just the time 5 G was being rolled out. Cancer rises significantly moreover the age of presentation reduces significantly. The Aging Population is a thing if the past. Anna's paper shows exactly what you would expect from microwave Carcinogenicity. following the rollout of microwave based technologies, which are not just the phones. It behøves HHS to conduct future studies to look at the effects post 5G rollout and AMS rollout. One night expect a comparatively enormous rise in cancer. From measurmenrs I have personally taken, 5G gives signal strength 100X greater than the signal pre 5G. Thank you Dr Stephen McGill BA(høns)(cantab) PhD (cantab)

Countless scientific studies on the impacts to humans and nature of Electromagnetic Fields, RF and Wireless Radiation exposure have proven the harmful effects and long term dangers that must now be address and rectified. As we face every more increasing radiation and the potential increases that AI and data center usage brings to the table, we must pause and give voice to the personal, environmental, societal, and even spiritual costs that we incur. Please consider the health and stability of all humanity and nature.

On behalf of the EFEIA Institute (Miami, Florida), I submit our organization's attached public comment, national program proposal and letters in response to HHS Request for Information, Docket No. HHS-OASH-2026-0397. This comment represents the perspective of a research entity. The attachments are a proposal prepared by EFEIA in October 2026, my request letter, made together with Dr. Robert Marshall Leal Lue, PhD in clinical psychology, Dr. Pilar Muñoz-Calero and other specialists, and letters from Dr. Pilar Muñoz-Calero, MD, President of Fundación Alborada (Madrid), and Dr. Luis M. Valdés, physician and audiologist. Disclosure: the undersigned is also founder and CTO of NOXTAK Corporation, which develops electromagnetic hygiene products; the 2014-2018 patient cohort described in the proposal evaluated a NOXTAK product among concurrent interventions. The proposal evaluates no product. WHO recognizes the symptoms of electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS, IEI-EMF) as real and potentially disabling, and systematic reviews of blind provocation studies have found no robust evidence that exposure triggers them. We accept that record. Those studies, however, tested a narrower question than the conclusion often drawn from them: most measured conscious detection of a field, or symptoms reported during or soon after short laboratory exposures. A systematic review of 28 provocation studies found selection bias in 82% of them and, in 57%, exposure and assessment times that were not matched to each participant's reported symptom latency. In our clinical experience, from a four-year cohort of 357 patients and more than 1,500 cases reviewed through EFEIA's consultant network, EHS presents as a sensitized and partly conditioned stress response. Short blinded tests with perception as the endpoint cannot separate the environmental trigger, the physiological sensitization and the learned response, and a reaction to an inactive cue does not show that the original trigger was inert. Tinnitus, reported by 50.7% of EHS respondents against 17.5% of controls in a German case-control study, is not yet a defined outcome in this research. We urge HHS to convene an independent, publicly funded review of the criteria used to design and interpret EHS studies, and to support a 24-month program that publishes revised criteria, including stratification of participants by conditioned response and physiological sensitization, personalized and prolonged exposures, delayed-response windows, characterized sham conditions and objective physiological endpoints; a blinded multi-site replication of the biomarkers reported to date; tinnitus and sound intolerance as defined outcomes; a clinical pathway of differential assessment before attribution, with professional training; a consented registry with measured exposure; and proportionate precaution in hospitals, schools and care settings. OASH would convene the program; NIEHS would lead exposure assessment and biomarker replication, NIDCD the tinnitus outcome set, CDC case definition, registry methods and clinical guidance with NIEHS, and FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health exposure systems and dosimetry for provocation studies. This comment responds to questions 4(h) to 4(j), 4(l), 4(m), 5(o), 10(a), 10(d) to 10(f), 11(f), 11(g), 16, 17(a) to 17(c) and 18. The attachments are: - Additional 5, National Program: National Program for the Review of Research Criteria in Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity: A proposal to revise how studies of electromagnetic hypersensitivity are designed and interpreted, with objective endpoints, a clinical pathway and tinnitus as a defined outcome (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23545803). - Request letter from J. Joaquín Machado, 21 October 2026. - Letter from Dr. Pilar Muñoz-Calero, MD, President, Fundación Alborada, 8 October 2026. - Letter from Dr. Luis M. Valdés on electromagnetic hypersensitivity and the amplification of tinnitus, 21 October 2026.

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 my perspective as a mother grandmother and a person that works with children. PERSONALIZE YOUR COMMENT HERE: if using your phone while on WiFi gives you numb or even tingly or warm feeling on your hands and fingers there is definitely some effect from the radiation coming from your phone. As a whole my family sleeps better when we turn off the WiFi. I work with children, these children carry iPads throughout the day. The building has to have WiFi signal all throughout to be able to use the WiFi , computers and anything else that makes the devices work. Plus we have WiFi towers near our building and in the surrounding neighborhoods. I’d say there’s about 4 towers within a small radius. Children are confined indoors with all that radiation and act very out of control. Almost like something does not allow anyone in the building to focus and makes people anxious. That coupled with chem trails when you exit the building, where you can’t get a break. Constantly being zapped like a bug inside a building and sprayed like a bug while you’re outside. I personally have moments where I feel like I’m out of it or spaced out unable to focus while outdoors. And inside a building where there is tons of LED lights and WiFi makes vision blurry and at times hard to focus on screens. Plus WiFi to top that off, I think it’s a recipe to make anyone feel loopy. Buildings occupied by children or even adults should be monitored and checked for EMF signal toxification, excessive LED lights that affect your sight and possibly cause anxiety. Anyone messing with Gods creation should be healed accountable. It should be criminal to spray our skies, expose us to so much EMF or radiation, and all these LED lights. 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.

We need to know the truth about what these toward really produce, EMF damage and can they be weaponized. Please do the studies that never happened even after patents and before we have them everywhere, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! My friend lives next door to one and she does NOT like it at all!

Thank you for the opportunity to submit information regarding biological effects and potential health hazards of low-level, long-term exposure to radiofrequency radiation (RFR). I am providing here some personal comments regarding that topic, as well as some scientific evidence. Part One: Personal Comments (1) I have always kept myself in good physical condition. It was a bit surprising, then, that beginning in mid-2009 I began to experience frequent ringing in the ears and strange, repetitive lower-GI symptoms. (2) In 2014 I began experiencing neuropathy in both feet. Shortly thereafter both hands went numb. My feet began to be cold all the time. I consulted my doctor. He suggested Raynaud's Syndrome as a tentative diagnosis. (3) In 2016 new symptoms began. In addition to ringing in the ears and neuropathy in hands and feet, I had intermittent night sweats, urinary urgency, occasional severe eye pain, intermittent tachycardia, and rapid development of varicosity in the veins of both lower legs. (4) After researching my strange array of symptoms, I hypothesized that they might be caused by high-frequency sounds emanating from motorized equipment atop a building a few blocks away. I sound-proofed my bedroom. That didn't help. I tried sleeping in a different room on the other side of the house where I seemed to be less symptomatic. That did help, yet I couldn't imagine why. (5) In 2017 I learned that pulsed microwaves from wireless communications technology can induce some or all of the symptoms I was experiencing. I purchased a meter for measuring RFR as well as one for measuring AC magnetic and electric fields. We switched off our WiFi-enabled Internet router, opting instead for wired-only (Ethernet) connectivity. We shielded a wall in my bedroom where WiFi was coming in from the house next door. (6) Most of the newer, more concerning symptoms dropped away within a few months after implementing our mitigation measures. No more tachycardia. No more night sweats. No more severe eye problems. No more numbness in my hands—I could sign my name again! (7) Since 2018 I continue to have varicose veins in my legs. (Once contorted, veins cannot return to normal.) Recent tests reveal I have "chronic venous insufficiency" in both legs. (8) By experimenting with different environments and measuring the levels of RFR that “trigger" my symptoms, I've discovered that any space, indoor or outdoor, where RFR peaks at more than about 300 microwatts per square meter is unhealthy for me. Lingering for more than about 15 minutes in such a place can cause a feeling of malaise involving fatigue and lower GI discomfort, plus "brain fog" and possibly a headache. I also typically experience "buzzing" or burning sensations in my lower legs. Essentially, I am now sensitive to all forms of wireless communication technology. I am also triggered by AC magnetic fields emanating from home appliances that have fairly powerful electrical motors (vacuum cleaners, refrigerator, clothes washer). (9) I discovered a couple of years ago that PG&E installed "smart" (RFR-emitting) electricity meters in our neighborhood in January of 2009. Perhaps those are the original inciting stressors. (10) Our use of WiFi from 2011 to 2017, as well as our neighbor's adoption of WiFi beginning in 2014, may have caused the amplification of my symptoms during those years. Part Two: Scientific Evidence Regarding Biological Effects and Potential Health Effects Together with two colleagues, in 2018 I measured ambient levels of RFR in four residential neighborhoods in Davis, California. Our goal was to find out how much RFR exists and what frequencies are present. The essence of what we learned is this: (i) the level of RFR varies greatly, from a low of just 2 to as much as 20,000 microwatts per square meter, (ii) all neighborhoods are "saturated" with RFR from mobile phone base stations (cell towers). In 2021 and 2022 I participated in a worldwide RFR-measuring campaign. The results may be viewed at the website GlobalEMF.net. The project revealed that power density of RFR along streets in the downtown areas of many cities exceeds 10,000 or even 100,000 microwatts/m2. Unfortunately, environmental levels of RFR peaking above about 1,000 microwatts/m2, and especially those peaking above 10,000 microwatts/m2, are associated with biological effects of a neurological, cardiovascular, or neuroendocrine origin. Various peer-reviewed papers published since the late 1980s, and especially since about 2000, together reveal that the pathophysiological symptoms are of biochemical and biophysical origin. The mechanism of action involves nitric oxide and peroxynitrite and various complex and interconnected biochemical pathways intrinsic to the human body (and to other forms of life). I'm uploading a 2007 review paper by Pacher, Beckman, and Liaudet that aids in understanding the breadth of the potential pathophysiological symptoms. Also provided: an outline.

Cellular towers seem to be everywhere now a days. A dear friend of mine had two placed withing 200 feet of her home. She developed ovarian cancer which she battled valiantly until she ultimately succumbed to it. Due to the research done in other countries that seem to show a link to cellular towers and cancer it seems that those towers may have been the cause. She had lived in that home most of her adult life. Within a few years of those towers going up she develops cancer. Our regulations need to protect the people not the industry. We need to have setback guidelines, and the research needs to be updated to ensure that we are providing the best of both worlds. There are ways to allow for the technology and keep people safe at that same time. We shouldn't have to move or put our lives on the lines so a company can make more money. It's about time for the government to do what it is supposed to do. Be for the people, by the peopte. Not for the business despite the people.
