Research & federal duties

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 very concerned member of the public. Whole I am not aware of how wireless radiation has affected me, I now people who have been and are adversely affected by it, as people have different sensitivities. But while I or others are not consciously aware of the effects of wireless radiation, I know that its impact on human, flora and fauna health is present. Those who actually feel its negative effects suffer in the here and now, while others do over a longer period because the exposure is constant and ultimately pernicious. HHS stands for "Human and Health Services"; since wireless radiation damages human health, HHS should be on top of this radiation right now and forever, protecting health instead of ignoring it and protecting "special interests" and those who promote irresponsible wireless radiation exposure. So I strongly support HHS taking an active role in sincerely examining the health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. These are very real effects, not alleged or potential effects. 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 adversely impacted 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.

I have had a continuous nonstop electrical sound hissing in my ears for 2 years now. (Tinnitus) I live about 2 blocks from a cell tower and live in a duplex with 5 adults on the other side of the wall using devices. I purchased a router cage and a block radiation case for my phone. With my living quarters I feel it’s a hopeless situation. I have noticed the further into the country side I go, it is significantly quieter. When I drive back to the city it increases again. It is hard to understand when people talk if there is other noise in the room. Thank you for investigating what is happening to the citizens of our country because of this radiation.

See attached file:: This one-page summary is just a few references pertaining to this docket request. It entails the hazards of RF Exposure, ubiquitously. The hotlinks, as availed by digital Pdf, should prove beneficial for further elucidations. Respectfully submitted, Gary Valasek P.S. Please pass this along to The Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, 45 L Street N.E., Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: ET Docket No. 13-84; DA 26-997; FR ID 368752 P.P.S. If you really want to know more about 5G and its implications, please contact Dr. Dedra Davis at The Environmental Health Trust who has everything you always wanted to know about Electromagnetic Fields, Radiofrequency Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure but were too proud to ask before now. It is very beneficial that HHS-OAS is using this convenient logistic vs. what rigorously the FCC demands in its own complaint system, however, this topic should not be covered as a complaint to them (FCC), it should be taken as an opportunity to comply with the directive lawsuit in a more expedient manner.

To Whom It May Concern: I am an eleven year member of AARP, and I am hoping the comment I am sending today will reach the writer of the article, "When You're Afraid To (Not) Sleep." Her name is Christina Ianzito. I see similar articles in the media all the time. They are written for persons of all different age groups, but I never see the most likely cause of the anxiety and sleeplessness even mentioned. Perhaps, because professionals in the field don't even recognize it as a cause, and the federal government, (specifically the Federal Communications Commission) denies there is a problem. The cause, as I have learned, is too much exposure in our modern world to wireless technologies which are emitting radiofrequencies (RF), a form of radiation. I know because I developed what I believe would be called Microwave Sickness after moving to a new location, and then experiencing insomnia, hearing high pitched sounds, and anxiety pretty much all at the same time. It was only after purchasing an RF meter from Safe Living Technologies of Canada, and evaluating my residence, that I learned my exposure levels were Extreme in many of my living areas. Next, I had one of the many consultants now working in the field, evaluate the condo with the best equipment available and with the knowledge and expertise to suggest how to address it. Their report confirmed what I had found and began to lead me toward possible solutions. After months of research, and talking to numerous consultants, I have been able to have the problem largely addressed. So, yes, there are some answers to this problem, and even some things that people can implement immediately. I'm not an expert in this field, but I am sending today a link to a TEDx TALK by one of the consultants in the field, Jeromy Johnson, whom I consulted with. His company is emfanalysis.com Wireless wake-up call | Jeromy Johnson | TEDx Berkeley Wireless wake-up call | Jeromy Johnson | TEDxBerkeley Play I believe AARP can bring this problem to light with your many publications and help get it addressed by the federal government and the industry itself. Thank you for all you do, Diana W. Pollock, B.A., M.C.R.P. (614)754-8724

Re: Electromagnetic Fields, RF Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure Question 2 — Perspective I am commenting as an EMF affected individual and writer who has covered wireless radiation and public-health concerns for years. This reply offers policy recommendations informed by government reports and my review of this subject, rather than original research or clinical findings. I welcome HHS’s examination of RF/EMF exposure. The public deserves a transparent assessment of whether existing protections adequately address today’s exposure conditions, particularly for children and other potentially vulnerable populations. Questions 5–6 and 12 — Exposure standards and health evidence I urge HHS to independently reassess the scientific basis of current federal exposure limits. Protection against established heating effects should not substitute for evaluating potential effects from long-term exposure at lower intensities. Please critically examine research concerning oxidative stress, DNA damage, reproductive and developmental outcomes, neurological function, and sleep. Reviews should distinguish association from causation, and experimental exposures from realistic human exposures. Where findings conflict, HHS should explain how exposure measurement, temperature control, sample size, study design, replication, and funding sources affect its conclusions. Uncertainty should be acknowledged rather than presented as proof of safety. Questions 8–9 and 13 — Real-world exposure and disclosure Exposure assessment should reflect how people actually use technology: phones against the body, wearables used for extended periods, and overlapping emissions from devices and infrastructure. HHS should evaluate how duration, proximity, frequency, modulation, and simultaneous transmissions affect exposure and the interpretation of health studies. In 2012, GAO recommended reassessing the FCC’s exposure limit and phone-testing requirements, particularly for use against the body. Its report page currently lists both recommendations as closed without implementation: https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-12-771 HHS should work with the FCC to address these concerns and improve consumer disclosures. Any separation distances or operating conditions required for compliance should be prominent and understandable, rather than buried in technical instructions. Question 11 — Children and potentially vulnerable populations Children’s developing bodies and the possibility of lifelong exposure beginning early in life warrant specific assessment. HHS should explain whether existing safety margins adequately address children, pregnancy, and other potentially vulnerable groups. Research should include long-term developmental outcomes and exposure patterns in schools and childcare settings. People reporting electromagnetic sensitivity should receive respectful clinical evaluation and rigorous investigation of their symptoms, possible contributing factors, and effective management approaches, without presuming an established cause. Questions 14–15 — Environmental and infrastructure considerations HHS should coordinate with environmental agencies to assess potential effects on wildlife, pollinators, plants, and livestock. Human exposure limits should not automatically be assumed to protect other species. Infrastructure assessment should incorporate measured exposure and cumulative neighborhood conditions. Distance from an antenna alone is an incomplete measure; transmission characteristics, direction, terrain, and other sources also matter. Questions 16–18 — Research priorities and practical action I urge HHS to fund independent, reproducible research on chronic exposure, childhood development, reproductive health, neurological outcomes, and plausible biological mechanisms. Priorities should include longitudinal studies with better exposure measurement and replication of important findings. Research funding and advisory processes should disclose relevant industry relationships and protect scientific independence. HHS should publish its review methods, evidence assessments, research priorities, and a timetable for public updates. While research continues, HHS should evaluate and communicate practical, low-cost ways to reduce unnecessary exposure, including wired connections where feasible, greater distance from transmitting devices, disabling unused wireless functions, and the use of scientifically researched EMF protection devices like Blushield. Guidance should explain the evidence and remaining uncertainties. Please use this RFI to produce meaningful research commitments, clear public guidance, and recommendations to strengthen federal protections wherever warranted. Families should be able to benefit from communications technology while receiving an honest account of what is established, what remains uncertain, and how avoidable exposure can be reduced.

Dr Lauraine M.H.Vivian This has been written by me, as a sufferer of EHS and former medical researcher in the field of harm from EMR I wish to testify that I and my family have suffered with EHS since 2011. We were first affected whilst living in Newlands, Cape Town, South Africa because a large main frame and mast were erected near our home, in Great Westerford Buildings. Our exposure to EMR or Non-Ionising Radiation from the infrastructure has debilitated our lives because we suffer with tinnitus, itchy and red rashes and my one son with lymphoma. We reported the 'noise' to the council and it was they who informed us that it was caused by NIR/EMR and they put us in touch with a support group run by Tracey Lee Dorny. Tracey Lee has since died of cancer, which she felt was related to the stresses of EHS and exposure to nearby mobile phone masts. Great Westerford Building experienced fires that led to huge tunnels being built underground to cool the mainframes. At this time I was working as a medical scientist at the University of Cape Town and together with Prof Olle Johannson and some commmunity members we established research to monitor peoples' responses to the roll out of mobile and Wi-fi technology across Cape Town and especially the township regions. I began to collect testimonies in videos and written accounts from sufferers and was able with their consent to pass these on to organisations working on harm from EMR. Prof Olle Johansson assisted our team to revise the Manitoba/Canadian EHS questionnaire and we put the research protocol to the ethics committee. They rejected it because they said the questionnaire was not relevant in South Africa and I could not carry out the project because I suffered with EHS. Following this I have continued to support scientists working in the field as I knew that funding was not forthcoming and that it was vital to collect evidence. In Copenhagen, Denmark, together with scientists we analysed data on EHS in people who live close to mobile phone masts. I have supported the initiatives of Prof Olle Johannson, Arthur Firstenberg and today, Andrew Michrowski. I have two scientific publications on harm from EMR. During this time I have given assistance/advice to many people suffering with EHS and as a medical researcher have tracked how: - 1. Children attach to mobile phone pulsations and not their parents' physicality. 2. Addiction to the algorithims in digital technology happens when lasting damage is done to the way algorithims rework neural pathways. 3. The early deaths of Arthur Firstenberg, Tracey Lee Dorny, and others. 4. The relationship between EHS - stress and cancer. 5. How cyber technology and mobile phones have been used to traffic people, drugs, and enable grooming gangs to engage child prostitution. 6. Most recently, I have worked with Andrew Michrowski to try to establish how this now global techology in Wi-fi and mobile phone signalling is adding to global warming. PACE can provide you with the scientific evidence for this but suffice to add that ICNIRP and WHO were tasked with monitoring the thermal effect of EMR have failed to do so. Instead they encouraged its dissemination across the globe and into space for grossly inequitable, monetary reward. Their failing extended to the fact that they did not evaluate the non-thermal effect of EMR which was left for unfunded scientists working in the bio-initiative such as Professor Frank Barns to investigate. The reason harm is now so pervasive and so many suffer (unheard) from EHS is that no proper and extensive testing was done on the roll out of what is 'ionising' radiation. In this respect, I believe that we are experiencing a Hiroshima Effect from EMR and this is shown in increasing temperatures and disaster situations. My reference to this being IR and not NIR comes from a South African physcist who sat on, but disagreed with the committee that downgraded NIR to not-harmful.

Thank you for this initiative.. the RF radiation starting from microwaves , which I do use bit for no more than 3 mins for heating and not in plastic containers; all scientific researched informed decisions, many don’t know that cooking food since it changes food structure especially proteins, breaks their structure, so food becomes toxic to be consumed .. Also , pretty much all microwaves I have tested ( and I tested about 10) emit significant radiation ( in the red levels when growing g cells are killed) to the outside space while in use ( new and old models ); I have a professional RF measuring device and it reads at red levels next to it ( and most hang right above the stove , so brain is being friend if you are cooking while it’s on, consequence a headache or worse if continued); need to move away to about 6 ft to be clear completely and about 3 feet out of red zone. Same goes to the WiFi routers , their signals are eartic but never stop . The RF towers are terrible, I am not living next to one, but that radiation travels far, depending on the height and power of the tower. Definitely need to be investigated. I measured those as well and chose school and home away from them. The radiation effects that science shows : activates mold and bacteria in our bodies and creates the histamine , mast cell activation and antibody elevation related illness.

Date: October 17, 2026 To: Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Subject: Public Comment – Request for Information on EMF, RF, and Wireless Radiation Exposure Docket/Reference: HHS-OASH-2026-0397 To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to submit my personal testimony and public comment regarding the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Request for Information on the human health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs), radiofrequency (RF) radiation, and wireless infrastructure. Since wireless/cellular towers were installed directly at the entrance of our private small road, our family has experienced immediate and severe health declines: * Severe Cardiac Event: Shortly after the installation of the towers, my father suffered a major, unexpected heart attack that required emergency open-heart surgery. * Debilitating Neurological Symptoms: I personally have suffered from chronic, debilitating headaches that began concurrent with the activation of these nearby towers. Before these installations, our household did not experience these acute health crises. Living in close, continuous proximity to these wireless radiation sources has severely disrupted our quality of life, safety, and well-being. Current federal safety guidelines and public health monitoring do not adequately account for real-world, long-term, or close-range cumulative exposures experienced by residents living near small-road and neighborhood installations. I urge HHS and related policymakers to: 1. Acknowledge and investigate real-world health impacts: Incorporate direct public testimony and medical histories from individuals living adjacent to wireless towers into current scientific risk assessments. 2. Re-evaluate proximity standards: Establish stricter buffer zones, setback requirements, and lower exposure limits for residential areas and private roadways. 3. Fund independent research: Prioritize independent, transparent studies looking at the cumulative biological and cardiovascular effects of non-ionizing RF/EMF exposure on vulnerable populations. Thank you for the opportunity to submit this comment and for considering the real human toll of these exposures. Sincerely, Neighborhood Resident Chaparral Rd West Hills CA 91304 rzietal@aol.com

Please provide adequate safety tests. The future of humanity depends on not being harmed by all these frequencies. Thank you

.I am drowning in 5G and cannot escape it. A huge cell tower is located approximately a quarter of a mile from my home in Kill Devil Hills, NC. It was installed around 2019-20. A small cell tower is located within 2000 feet of my vacation home in Ocean City, MD which was installed in 2019-20. Many other cells are located on water towers and hidden in attics of nearby hotels within short city blocks installed around the same time. I am a 65 year old federal retiree. I was 6’4”, 220 lbs and in perfect health. In 2024 I lost over 60lbs and went to the doctor. I was diagnosed with diabetes and put on Metformin. I continued losing weight and my resting heart rate was >95 bpm at any given time. With no improvement, I went to another doctor shortly after and she informed me that I have hyperthyroidism and was given Methimazole and Propanolol. Thyroid problems are not a part of my family medical history. My health slowly deteriated after the rollout of the cell towers. Other symptoms include: tinnitus, tremors, increased blood pressure, occasional memory/ concentration loss. increased grumpyness/irritability, enlarged thyroid, sleep disruption, frequent leg and hand cramps. In summary, I believe thorough investigation into 5G electomagnetic fields must be studied since it hasn’t been studied since 1996 prior to the increase in electrogmagnetic field output and technological changes. The studies must only be performed by scientist that have no affiliation with the wireless industry or the government. I believe it is damaging on the cellular level and is dangerous to humans and animals. The bats that used to come out every evening in the summer dissappeared around the same period the cell towers were installed. If we could see the electromagnetic fields that they are emitting, I am sure they would be outlawed. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to provide my concern. I pray something is done.
