Research & federal duties

Two logs from one fixed Chicago station bracket the July 27 and Aug. 11, 2026 wind events. They do not record those storms. They record ELF magnetic flux density well above the station baseline and leave artificial induction of ELF unexcluded. HHS is asked to treat the pair as environmental-exposure evidence under Q14 and Q18, and with NOAA to test whether artificially induced ELF was present and bears on severe weather that destroyed homes, leveled trees, and cut power in the Chicago/Indiana region. The logs do not establish weather modification or any causal link. They are the reason to test that possibility against lightning-network data and any ELF records from the days before the damage. Meter: Tenmars TM-192D, triaxial AC, stated passband 30-2000 Hz. It misses the static geomagnetic field and the Schumann fundamental near 7.83 Hz. Same indoor window-adjacent setup. Baseline 0.12-0.15 uT. Ratios use 0.15 uT. July 15-20, before the storms (one photo per sampled day; July 17 and 19 missing): July 15 21:38: 0.334 uT (2.2x). July 16 20:09: 0.468 (3.1x). July 18 ~09:06: 0.598 (4.0x); reported day max 1.60 (10.7x), not a separate photo. July 20 22:12: 0.847 (5.6x); reported day max 2.38 (15.9x), not a separate photo. Photos climb ~0.33, 0.47, 0.60, 0.85 uT (step ratios ~1.4, 1.3, 1.4). "Doubling every day" is the climb against the old baseline, not a factor of two between photos. The rise coincided with Canadian smog. No mechanism or causal link is claimed; no paired air-quality data; wiring not surveyed. Between the logs, NWS Chicago describes two fatal wind events 16 days apart. This station was not logging those mornings. July 27: supercell to compact bow echo; estimated gusts 80-105 mph in parts of DuPage, Cook, and Will (IL) and Lake and Newton (NW IN). Aug. 11: derecho; 70 to locally 100+ mph from NE Illinois into NW Indiana; estimated peaks 100-110 mph in parts of northern Lake and Porter (IN); 99 mph at Gary/Chicago airport. NWS: 8 tornadoes in its area, widespread tree and line damage, outages over two weeks in parts of NW Indiana, one Gary fatality from straight-line winds. Aug. 11 damage was likely worsened by injury from July 27. Aug. 18-19, seven days later, a different weather system. 43,449 samples at ~1 Hz, Aug. 18 21:08:54 CDT to Aug. 19 09:13:08 CDT (12.07 h). Evening pulses to 0.667 uT at 21:15:23 CDT matched convection over southern Lake Michigan; the median floor then returned to ~0.15 uT while multi-axis pulses continued. Session max 1.171 uT at 07:51:51 CDT, ~15 s above 0.85 uT. The 08:55-09:12 window peaked at 0.418 uT. 14:00Z radar for ZIP 60640 shows the metro clear; remaining rain was hundreds of km away. Grid and appliance noise remain confounds and more often raise a floor than a 15-second three-axis burst. Exotic ELF induction may be present; no transmitter, operator, or purpose is identified, and it is not treated as fact. 1.171 uT is 0.59% of the ICNIRP 2010 public reference of 200 uT rms (25-400 Hz). July peaks are still ~1%. No exceedance is claimed (Health Physics 99(6):818-836, 2010). IARC 2B concerns chronic 50/60 Hz averages near 0.3-0.4 uT. The 12-hour mean was 0.187 uT; some pulses reach that band. This is not a dose survey or a health assessment. A 1-second fixed magnetometer plus radar can show a baseline, a climb, a pulse, and a radar-quiet continuation. It cannot name a source. Still needed: a lightning overlay on the Aug. 18-19 pulses (especially 03:44, 07:51:51, and 08:55-09:12 CDT); any other magnetometer files for July 27 and Aug. 11; orientation, passband, and at least 2.5 readings/s; more than one station; paired air quality if the smog coincidence is studied. RF monitoring will not see a 30-2000 Hz magnetic pulse. The comment asks whether any federal system archives ELF magnetic fields, and whether a small archive should sit with weather radar. Nothing here shows these fields changed the weather. ELF at one station rose by roughly tenfold above a documented baseline in the weeks before two rare ~100 mph wind events, and a week later the session maximum occurred on clear local radar. Artificial induction aimed at that destruction is a hypothesis to test, not a finding. Test it with a lightning overlay, other magnetometers from July 27 and Aug. 11, and a physical account of whether a field of this size and band can couple to a storm. Publish an exclusion if one is earned. Asks: (1) Accept ELF logs below the ICNIRP level under Q14 and Q18. (2) Ask NOAA and NWS Chicago to reanalyze July 27 and Aug. 11 with any ELF records, and match the Aug. 18-19 file to a lightning network. (3) Ask CDC and state health offices to keep the injury, death, and outage burden in view, without assuming a field mechanism. (4) State what measurement would confirm an artificial ELF source and what would retire it. (5) Keep the limits: smog is only co-occurrence; the meter did not act on the weather; neither file is the derecho.

I ask HHS to study shielding against extremely-low-frequency fields that reach a sleeper from below, including fields that may be targeted, and to publish which materials and placements actually reduce that exposure. In the nights beginning September 20, 2026, I woke with a feeling of hopelessness and despair that was present before the thoughts and dreams that agreed with it. A copper–nickel mesh cloth left the feeling unchanged when I used it as a cover. The same cloth was associated with relief when it lay under my back, between my spine and the bed. The trial was subjective and unblinded. I have no magnetic-field measurement of those nights. People I know in Florida described a similar feeling on waking over roughly the same week. I cannot tie their reports to my room. The published work I consulted, Adey and the Loos patents, does not report hopelessness. It does report that weak fields in bands overlapping sleep-related rhythms can reach physiological systems at levels that do not heat tissue. A thin conductive cloth is not a shield against a slowly varying magnetic field. Families have no tested guidance for a source under the bed (ground / terrestrial based.) That is the gap.

Residential Wi-Fi is discussed in this docket as a radiofrequency source. The exposure I logged at an Xfinity gateway was the extremely-low-frequency magnetic field, and I made no radiofrequency measurement at all. Over months, a TM-192D meter about 4 feet 6 inches from the modem showed a recurring morning elevation around 10:00 a.m. CST, typically 15–20 mG (about 1.5–2.0 µT), sometimes held near that level for on the order of an hour, lined up with the time I woke. Those mornings were when motivation was worst. After the modem's own Wi-Fi was turned off and a low-power Wi-Fi bridge was put in its place, a spot check read 0.127 µT, the morning peaks did not return, and the report describes four years of lower readings and of waking with ordinary drive, through March 2026. There was no controlled re-exposure. I ask HHS to treat the ELF magnetic field of the gateway as part of Wi-Fi exposure, to require time-of-day disclosure of that field, and to test simple equipment changes as a way to reduce it.

EMF must be further explored as a contributing factor to poor health in humans, plants and animals. Every physical system that features a voltage drop is inherently sensitive to electromagnetic frequencies (EMF). Anything with a voltage drop, including human, animal, and plant cells, will respond to electromagnetic frequency. This is a fundamental law of physics: a voltage drop implies the presence of an electric field and moving or resting electrical charges (electrons or ions). Living cells function exactly like miniature, dynamic batteries. Every living cell maintains a strict resting membrane potential (a voltage drop across the cell membrane, typically around -70 millivolts). Because electromagnetic waves are composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, they physically interact with these charges, exerting forces that alter their behavior. Allowing the world and children to be bathed in varying EMF is irresponsible and unscientific. Various frequencies must be fully studied. Cancer rates are high and getting higher every few years, I can't take the "war on cancer" seriously until chemicals and electromagnetic frequencies are studied and taken seriously. Depression and anxiety are also common. We have a very sick society. Health is wealth. Many studies show change in calcium channel gates and thus biological stress, inflammation, and chronic inflammation leads to various diseases. I strongly believe that EMF affects health. Multiple studies supports my belief. Here is one: Scientific evidence invalidates health assumptions underlying the FCC and ICNIRP exposure limit determinations for radiofrequency radiation: implications for 5G. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12940-022-00900-9

(….continued from previous Comment, this is Comment to HHS Part 2) The American Academy of Pediatrics advises parents to “limit children’s screen time and exposure from cell phones and other devices emitting radiation from electromagnetic fields (EMF)”, but teachers in our town have sent home papers assigning the children to spend more time practicing on their wireless devices at home, to better their skills for testing time. There are hazardous wireless routers emitting radiation in every classroom, but most teachers are not even aware that they shouldn’t stand directly under a wireless router all day, or place an unsuspecting child’s desk directly beside a wireless router for him to absorb maximum radiation exposure every day while attending school. In meetings with school principals, superintendents, teachers, and the school committee in our town, our family asked them to bring in just one local medical professional willing to attest to the safety of a wireless learning environment for children. They reported back that they did reach out to some local doctors, but none of the doctors who responded were willing to make such a statement on the record. One of the doctors reportedly said to our school Principal, off the record, “I’m not attesting to that. Everyone knows you’re supposed to limit your exposure to radiation.” Even still, in our town’s public schools there is no informed consent notice to be signed, disclosing to parents that their children will be exposed to constant microwave radiation while attending school. When I tell other parents about it, it makes them feel sick - and foolish that they’ve been left unprotected and unaware of such a major cause for concern about health risks present in their children’s learning environment. Most the educators we met with uncomfortably agreed that there is definitely cause for concern regarding wireless radiation exposure in the schools, but they’ve made no effort to stop the massive rollout of wireless tech – and instead offered us the option to home school our kids as the only way to avoid the serious health risks of cumulative daily radiation exposure at school. I feel strongly that mandatory radiation exposure is not an acceptable requirement for students attending public school! According to Harvard Medical School/Mass General Hospital’s Martha R. Herbert, Ph.D., M.D., “Radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation from WiFi and cell towers can exert a disorganizing effect on the ability to learn and remember, and can also be destabilizing to immune and metabolic function. This will make it harder for some children to learn, particularly those who are already having learning or medical problems in the first place.” Knowing the terrible risks associated with EMFs, RF, and wireless radiation - from brain cancer to infertility to depression, insomnia, addiction, and much more - our family made the difficult decision to protect our children and home school them at our own expense, but this is not an option for most working families, who all deserve the right to opt out of unwanted radiation exposure - and at least deserve to be protected and informed by responsible authorities on how to minimize risk. 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. Sincerely, A Concerned U.S. Citizen and Mother of Two

I am very concerned that Wireless Radiation has not been adequately studied for adverse health and environmental impacts on humans and other life forms. Since the early days of cell phones, wireless radiation has increased exponentially while the general health, as well as life expectancy, of the population has declined. How much of this, if any, is causative is unknown because it hasn’t been studied. Ignorance does not make it safe. Anyone around in the ‘80s was warned of the dangers of radiation from the new microwave ovens. Especially for those with pacemakers. Now people wear Bluetooth transmitters on their ears and hold powerful cell phones to their ears. Apple says keep the phone a short distance from your ear. That can only mean they fear litigation for “frying people’s brains”. We need to know what are safe levels for all the various wireless radiation sources, both separately and collectively. This needs to be based on protecting the most sensitive members of population. Please do what’s right for the people, not what most profits big tech. Thank you

I feel concerned about 5G and smart meters. Wireless radiation can greatly impact the health and circadian rhythm of humans, animals, birds, and insects. What are the long-term effects for our children when they are consistently bombarded by electromagnetic frequencies during the most crucial times of their brain's development? The frontal lobe and prefrontal cortex aren't fully developed until age 25. There needs to be more transparent data on this technology, as well as information and access to remediate the harmful effects.

As an update addendum to my earlier response, I just discovered not only does the light switch by my bed emit RF but the outlet does too. I tried shutting my circuit breakers off and it still emits the RF. I have read that the smart meters cause the house wiring to resonate with and transmit the signal. And I confirmed what was reported, which is that the meter constantly emits RF, contrary to the industry claims that they only emit infrequently. This is easily verified with a TriField meter. This very much looks like my entire house is a giant RF antennae and I am unable to shut it off. There is an opt-out program from PG&E to get the meter replaced with a manual one (it costs more but I'd be glad to do it). I will take advantage of that immediately, I wish I'd done it years ago. One major concern is what if a hostile government or AI hacked such devices and weaponized them, using the Havana syndrome frequencies/pulsing method? Could Starlink, or cell towers, or our own cell phones cause our demise? What would a world where everyone has severe Havana syndrome look like? And what if we already have a much milder syndrome, caused by EMR that we don't realize makes us less functional and less happy than we would otherwise be? Has testing been done to compare people living in RF saturated environments with those not so to check for neurofunctionality, neuroinflammation, cognitive performance etc?

I ask DHS and/or Secretary Robert F. Kennedy to document all types of EMF radiation across the nation by source and by strength and by frequency and by location. IThere was a map of I believe Microwave radiation showing the largest towers in the USA that displayed it was polarized backward during the night during hours that most people slept for the last couple years starting at the East Coast and running. It was red, blue, and purple. Measurements of actual EMF should be made, It seems people are just blanking out too much and can't remember even the subject that was just being discussed, and it may be more older folks but its happening to younger people in their 50s and 60s as well as 70s and 80s. It is as if everything is forgotten and can't pull up or retrieve any memory whatsoever. These EMFs have a magnetic quality to them. I have 3 keys to my ignition on my car. Two of them don't work. One had to be reprogrammed. How does it happen the keys work and then they don't work to start the car, and then the car has to have the ignition reprogrammed to start the car, and that was the entire problem. These keys work off magnetism or electricity, and exposing them to magnets might cause them to not start the car, I've been told. I don't know how my keys might have been exposed to magnets, but I'm thinking about a video showing that the largest towers in the Continental US were sending out strong microwaves that was being recorded during hours of darkness across more than half of the US as a huge pulse traveling westward with reversed polarity it was said. Why would this occur? Has the federal government investigated this? Is the federal government the cause of this? I suspect it links to memory failures that are becoming widespread in people of all ages, but more so in those over age 50. Those memory failures are sometimes described as somebody just going totally blank, unable to think of anything visually, auditory, thermal, textural, smell, taste, or in any words or language. It may be a huge brain-fog but this is not merely a foggy brain with memories appearing to be accessible through brain fog, but rather more of an absence of any thought retrieval at all.

Thank you, HHS Leadership, for the opportunity to share my personal perspective regarding Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I believe that I experience significant adverse effects from these technologies. My symptoms include headaches, skin and body pain as shooting, tingling, and burning sensations, and low level general anxiety that feels unnatural to me. Identifying the specific source is sometimes difficult, as exposure may come from the smartphone, smartwatch, laptop, tablet, Wi-Fi router, smart meter, cell tower, or other wireless infrastructure. At times it is obvious, like when I send an email from the phone and a burning sensation occurs in the hand holding the phone after I hit "send". These experiences are difficult to discuss with medical professionals, friends, and family because the prevailing assumption is that wireless technologies are harmless. I ask HHS to take seriously the distress people report, even when the causes remain uncertain. My home's smart meter, located outside the kitchen, is a great concern. While in that area I sometimes experience what feels like painful pulses or beams emanating from its vicinity. I also observe distressing patterns of emotional tension occurring in this location, more than normal for a family kitchen. I recognize that these observations do not establish causation, but I believe they warrant objective investigation rather than dismissal. I am undergoing medically supervised chelation for heavy metals in an attempt to find relief, at considerable expense and without a clear solution. The financial burden is unsustainable. I need accessible, evidence-based medical guidance that investigates potential causes rather than a mystery. During recent travel, I used an eSIM that restricted my phone to 4G connectivity. I experienced no anxiety for two weeks, until I returned to the mesh networks of the United States. This observation does not prove that 5G or any particular frequency caused my symptoms, but it raises a question I believe deserves investigation: Could different wireless technologies, exposure patterns, or environmental conditions affect some individuals differently? I believe we must reconsider the widespread implementation of technology which results in Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I think it might be a greater threat to our world than previously understood. I worry for my global neighbors and all our children as many cannot feel the disturbing emanations from their tech devices. I realize we are very far down this Tech road and pivoting away is, sadly yet probably, impossible. However, Consumers should have meaningful options to select lower-exposure technologies, including access to 4G-only connectivity when technically possible. Public installations across cities should be shielded to protect the citizens and nature. Scientific research warrants continued investigation. The U.S. National Toxicology Program reported evidence of certain tumors in animals exposed to high levels of RF radiation: https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/research/topics/cellphones. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classified RF electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans: https://www.iarc.who.int/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/pr208_E.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com. Research into environmental impacts identifies substantial evidence gaps concerning wildlife and plants, including reproduction, development, behavior, and growth: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s13750-023-00304-3#citeas. Please review the information and concerns compiled by the Cellular Phone Task Force: https://cellularphonetaskforce.org/. These findings do not prove that wireless exposures cause the symptoms I experience, but they underscore the need for rigorous, independent research. I respectfully request that HHS engage several areas of actions immediately: 1. Support independent research into EMF/RF exposure and reported health effects, including symptoms in people who report sensitivity. 2. Investigate possible environmental effects on wildlife, pollinators, plants, biodiversity, and ecosystems. 3. Review existing exposure standards in light of emerging evidence, long-term exposure, vulnerable populations, and new technologies. 4. Promote transparent exposure information, accessible medical evaluation, and practical exposure-reduction options for concerned individuals. 5. Ensure that research is methodologically rigorous, publicly accessible, and free from inappropriate commercial influence. I also ask that my experience and that of others be investigated fairly, that scientific uncertainties be addressed openly, and that the public have meaningful choices while research continues. Thank you for your attention to and care for public health, scientific integrity, and the protection of all life.
