ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 person, who is sensitive to wireless radiation and electromagnetic radiation (emr). Already sensitive to emr. our utility in British Columbia threatened to turn off our hydro power, if we would not accept a Smart Meter. I said we could not, because both my husband and I had health issues, affected by emr. Our power was turned off. My husband had just put harvested farm produce in a walk-in cooler, so he asked for the power to be turned back on. The utility said only if we accepted a Smart Meter and paid a $750 re-installation fee. We were coerced to have a Radio OFF Smart Meter. Within a week, my husband had a stroke, and a second stroke the following week. I experienced cognitive and memory dysfunction. I couldn't find an area in our house where I could sleep, tried sleeping outside, but it was too cold. It was a horrendous affair. Someone heard about us and recommended a combo of a Sine Tamer and Smart Meter Guards, which, when we finally obtained them, made life bearable, though still challenging. For a month after the emr was somewhat mitigated, I had night sweats. I slept in the living room for four years, because the SM was on the wall outside the bedrooms. BC Hydro later did a software upgrade on the SM without informing us. However, we found the employee installing it. That night, when all was quiet, there was a loud hum in the house. This persisted for the 3 weeks it took to have it uninstalled. Again, i couldn't sleep, and tried sleeping outside, in the car, and in a shed, but that was too uncomfortable, I slept fitfully for the 3 weeks. I continue to avoid public places, find it difficult to do shopping, and have a very limited social life. I couldn't even attend church. I manage to do shopping by wearing a silver threaded hat that makes excursions bearable, but it takes a lot out of me. Where I live now, I stay in the lowest emr corner of a suite, so even that is limiting. It's difficult to find a healthy home where I can live naturally. I believe that some of us, who are ehs, have toxins in our bodies from mercury (amalgams), aluminum, lead, cadmium, barium, arsenic and other toxins, in our food, air and water. Add these stressors to other stresses and to experiences of trauma and abuse, and the body reaches a tipping point where it can no longer tolerate the toxic load. It is not our fault, and we should have a choice of low emr environments to live and work in. If our society really had the health of its citizens foremost in mind, it would provide coverage for counselling support to lessen the burden of stresses. In turn, this would make for a healthier society. I do not have any wireless technology in my living space. Instead, I have a landline telephone, in-the-wall computer, in-the-wall modem, and no cell or cordless phones. I sleep with my head away from the wall and the bed about 2 feet from the wall. Of course, avoiding stress,and having emotional support and a healthy lifestyle are important. 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, trauma, 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.

The commenter raises concerns about data-center electricity and water use, reports personal and neighborh…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am an individual 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, family member, and concerned member of the public. Wireless radiation has affected me and my family. I currently live in Virgina a state with the greatest number of data centers in the nation. The data centers demand for electricity and water has dramatically changed the environment. Peoples wells are drying up, predators have been displaced and now seek to make their homes close to where people live, and lastly these menaces (data centers) require large amounts of electricity to keep them cool. Their need for electricity has driven a massive push to build high current lines that a currently honeycombing Virginia. Since their proliferation I personally have experienced headaches (never had any before), mood swings, and colds (had some colds very infrequently). There are several neighbors that have mentioned that they are on antidepressant for the first time in their lives. To me this makes sense since we really are electrical beings. Our nervous systems are a honeycomb of wires that run through our bodies to keep us working, healthy, and strong. Disrupt the wiring in the data center with Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure and the centers will begin to break down just as biological life breaks down when exposed to the before mentioned. A burning question I have is, why our protector that we pay taxes to every year (our government) has permitted the proliferation of things that cause Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure without proper current studiers? It seems that our government is nothing more than a bullying mafia organization. The last study I was able to find on the effect of Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure is dated 1978 and it was for ancient technology compared to what we have today which are much stronger field generators. Could it be that they do not want to know the answer so as not to have to deal with it? 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.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been concerned about wireless safety for a long time. Living in a small apartment, I cannot escape the effects of the wireless EMF all around me. I periodically get inexplicable headaches that have no overt cause. I demand that the government produce a full study on all the possible effects of wireless on our health and publicize it widely.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
More studies on effects of WiFi need to be done. I think items reckless to expand WiFi any further until we know the implications this has on the human body and mind, especially with developing children. Can children safely tolerate more WiFi? How do you know? Please stop and reassess. I find I sleep better with WiFi turned off. Do we even know why that is? More independent studies NEED to be done. I never consented to be in a scientific study so quit experimenting on We The People and consider the impact on children.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Thank you for being concerned about wireless technology. I wish more investigations had happened before we were inundated with this. I turn off all electronics including my router at night, but now am having to deal with a smart meter which i have no desire for,but will have to pay every month for a meter reader if I don’t accept!! My concerns aren’t just wireless radiation, but the large screens in cars, which take attention away from driving ( people driving erratically is now the norm) everywhere I go people looking down using their phones, and the discomfort people feel if their phone isn’t on their person. Thanks for listening.

The commenter proposes an unverified Schumann-resonance explanation for disease and wildlife effects and …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Reference: Health Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. Re: https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0001 For the attention of: Victoria Marshall, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health & OASH Executive Secretariat team. Hello Victoria and OASH Executive Secretariat team. Thank you for your immediate reply. I have sent the following on https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0001 My name is John Harding and I have made a World-First-Discovery-Link, the science community will never find or consider, ever. I am the only person on Planet Earth who can give you the answer you seek regarding EMF, RF and the misinterpreted Schumann-Resonance to why it is the 'trigger-mechanism' for Cancer and other serious illnesses from where you sleep. Why? Elite-academia-education does not teach, use in any research, or allow in any education, 'suppressed' in 1858 (influenced by Christianity-Religion), continuing to the present day, although used by all wildlife daily for survival and by NASA in zero-gravity to keep astronauts alive. Why? A mistake was made from the very beginning Nikola Tesla was aware, that science suppressed, where Winfried Otto Schumann got wrong, although proving essential to human-health, hence using in the International Space Station, (ISS) for over 50 years. Why? Every natural 'invisible' phenomenon has a negative and positive reaction, Schumann-Resonance is no different where NASA use the 'positive' Schumann-Resonance in zero-gravity and wildlife use the 'negative' for survival, specifically domesticated honey-bees that swarm to get away from human interaction to be 'attracted-to' negative Schumann-Resonance every time they swarm. It is for this reason why honeybee colonies are dying in domesticated care, yet wild/feral colonies thrive for many years. It is also the same reason why Wind Turbines kill millions of birds every year, I will explain in more detail when invited. There is a great deal to say I can only explain in person, needing a New International Law only President Donald J. Trump can authorise and sanction through The US Senate and US Congress. I am not computer literate and do not understand how to convert a document into bmp, docx, gif, jpg, jpeg, pdf, png, pptx, rtf, sgml, tif, tiff, txt, wpd to attach a file, explained in my email sent via: OASH RFI Assistance (OS/OASH) oash-rfi@hhs.gov you cannot accept by an outdated protocol policy. I await your invitation to explain in detail, to demonstrate using filmed natural phenomena and filmed wildlife 'mimicking', of the biggest mistake made in human history by not understanding or acknowledging an 'invisible-world' we cannot see, although used by every species on Planet Earth, except one.............Human-elite-academia-education! Please advise on what to do next, because without my knowledge you will never succeed and please remember it takes one person to make a discovery, to produce a New Personal-AI-Protection, built to my design and specifications, sent to all Smart-Technology worldwide, to identify 'Harmful-Schumann-Resonance' (the natural invisible 'trigger-mechanism') to prevent Cancer and other serious illnesses from where you sleep, rest, dine, work if 'in-situ' for hours at a time, or to answer the anomalies of metastasis, miscarriage, still-born and cot-death. The research will save lives and save billions of dollars to the economy, all I ask, is that you read my email message sent. Thank you. Kind regards. John Harding

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 concerned member of the public. Wireless radiation has affected me with tinnitus and insomnia, and likely other ailments that I have not yet attributed to wireless radiation exposure. 5G cell towers are everywhere and do they improve your cellular connectivity? No, they don't. Then why are they there? They are not good, very dangerous and toxic, they all need to be taken down. 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.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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. Signals from LTE – 4G and 5G transmitters are the same frequency as from a home microwave. People are 24/7 exposed to those signals, it’s like living inside a microwave. I know when I was younger a family in the Netherlands who were living under high voltage transmission lines, the effect was that all their new born children had birth defects. And this is only a frequency of 50/60 Hertz but a huge EMF due to the high voltage and current passing through those power lines. 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.

The commenter requests lower tower emissions and investigation of radar pulse exposure, and separately ra…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Thank you so much for doing this. I'm concerned about the amount of radiation allowed to come from cell phone towers, especially rural ones. This needs to be reduced; existing science is already clear that cancer rates increase for people living closer to towers. Please look into radars. Recently the radar in Duluth, MN tilted its beam down toward earth to capture lower clouds. They said it would not affect human health but it was based on the units of energy per period of time, disregarding the fact that when the beam goes through, it is very intense energy, which concerns me. As a sidenote, though unrelated, please research MRI contrast! Many people have become very ill from it, including myself, and radiologists tell patients like myself there are no side effects. This must be investigated ASAP. Thank you.
