The commenter raises concern about a friend's illness and digital-meter placement, describes meters near …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
i have a nurse friend that has been diagnosed with AlS and has to be in a wheelchair. Stetzerizer readings are normal in her outlets. Her home was built with digital meter placed right in her patio door entry at eye level so that every time she walks in and out of her doorway she gets emf'd. Using a meterk meter inside the house wall with the meter on the backside have unsafe levels reading high from the digital meter. The builder ran the digital meter connection under a concrete porch and maybe why her outlets read normal. But on wall inside and probably down the the sides of her house outside where beam is communicating with neighboring meters high emf. The husband and wife neighbors have passed away. Her electric bills are over $400.00. There is a major problem where they are installing digital meters. There needs to be a safer distance away from high traffic areas like doorways. My daughter has 2 smart meters outside on wall shared with the bedroom. But on the wall of the room where two children sleep in a bed on that same wall with the meters. Not enough distance to be safe. Electric companies are charging lot extra to allow opt outs. This lady is dying and living with what is probably killing her. Even if she does opt out from digital meter she still has that beam from neighboring meters running down the side of her house. need to not charge extra to have safe installation. she's paying $400 a month now and says she can't afford more. Something so wrong. She's a lovely person and doesn't deserve having to live in a toxic house due to a meter location.

The commenter identifies sensitivity to EMFs and reports dizziness, sleep problems and device-related pai…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I first noticed a light headed feeling when I was close to a modem many years ago. When I moved to another room, the feeling subsided. The next experience was when our power company installed smart meters wherever it was most convenient for them. They put one on my bedroom wall and I was dizzy, light headed and unable to sleep. I had to move and when it happened again at another rental unit, I was told I was too sensitive. I am unable to be close to modems for more than 15 minutes as I get dizzy and light headed, and have chosen to shut them off at night in order to sleep more soundly. I have found that I cannot live in some places because of the EMF fields and the radio frequencies, etc. and that if I can put up a 16" piece of sheet metal, on the wall where the smart meter or fuse box is, I cannot pretty much mitigate the intensity of the waves. I recently was visiting a home of a friend and felt very strange and light headed, almost losing my balance when I entered the bathroom, and it subsided when I went into the other room down the hall. I went back to that area and the same thing happened. I asked my friend and she said that their TV satellite dish was on the roof right at that room. And when I went into the bedroom to take a nap, the same thing happened. I looked on the wall and the smart meter was right on the bedroom wall and the neighbor's Satellite dish on their roof was aimed right at the bedroom as well. I had to leave the home as I was starting to feel very shaky from the EMF's and radio waves. Some of us are truly more sensitive than others to EMF, radio frequency waves and wifi. The cell towers they are putting into our communities are put right in front of people's homes and there are numerous cases of children and adults getting symptoms and there is nothing we can do about it because the county gave them permission to "help" us have better cell phone access and they are not required to alert the homeowners and phone companies are able to put them where they feel it is best for their company. We, the people, would like to have choice about our bodies and how we are impacted by new technologies. Smart meters should be put on garages where no one lives and not on our bedroom walls. And now we have new AI data centers that are being built with no care for the impact on the populations nearby. I cannot sleep with the modem on at night and have had to shut it off to avoid the way it impacts my sleep and my brain function. My hand starts aching when I hold my cell phone for more than 10 minutes. I use some protections that are sold by companies claiming to have devices that block the EMF's but they do not block them completely. I feel relieved when the phone is on airplane mode but still, the only full relief I feel is when it is shut off completely. I only can share personal experiences and have no documents to prove anything. I request that you please expedite safety reviews of the new technologies that will be even stronger than 5 G. As well as how we can be protected from all the smart meters and cell towers and computers that are everywhere emitting radio frequencies and wifi signals that truly have an impact on our bodies and brains and immune systems. There have not been enough research studies done to clearly document the impacts. And the research needs to be across a large population of children, adolescents and elders and those who have compromised health issues already, because I truly believe that we are harming ourselves and our families by not having protections available and having choice about what the new technology companies can do without our permission. Thank you for finally considering science do research about this. In our area, those of us who have the financial means to hire specialists come to our homes to use expensive meters that can check for "dirty electricity" and for EMF exposure and help us find ways to shield ourselves from the impacts on our bodies when we have not been able to figure out why we are not feeling well and there is no reason for it. And then we find out that our homes have very high EMF and radio frequencies and that the cell towers close by are all contributing to the high readings.

The commenter requests equal disability accommodations for electromagnetic sensitivity, low-exposure room…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Dear Sirs/Madams, I am requesting that the same level of consideration be given to persons with the functional impairment of electromagnetic sensitivity that would be accorded to any other disabled person. I know that doing so would disrupt great plans, but workarounds have been found for people with other disabilities. The argument that electromagnetic sensitivity does not exist and is just a figment of the sufferers imagination has been debunked numerous times. I attach two studies that I have on hand. I also request that the health of children, in particular, be considered in the deployment of wireless equipment. Prof. Oleg Grigoriev of Russia's committee on non-ionizing radiation protection has said that, while he does not oppose the use of wireless communication, every home should have at least one room with low levels, and that room should be the children's room. Children should also limit the amount of time they spend engaging in high-exposure activities. Wired Internet connections can be installed in schools to reduce children's exposure there. Thirdly, the environment needs to be considered. We face an extinction crisis due to many factors, all of which come back to human activities. I have witnessed a stepwise reduction of biodiversity in my neighborhood as new radiating infrastructure is introduced. The most notable reductions occurred shortly after smart electric meters were installed in the neighborhood and after 5G transmissions began. I attach my most recent observations in rural Japan, which include links to similar observations elsewhere. Most importantly regarding the future of our environment and humanity itself, people are noting a loss not only of pollinators, but of pollen itself, resulting in failure to fruit and sterile seeds when they do develop. The use of wireless radiation should take the environment into consideration and be limited to local urban centers, again ensuring that the full range of necessary services are available to persons who cannot tolerate or who should otherwise be protected from high-EMR environments.

The commenter reports burning and tingling with phones and headaches near a home smart meter and towers, …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, I am reporting the health consequences that I have experienced as an average human, living an average life, with what I consider low to average daily radiation exposure. I use a smart phone, daily. I have a smart meter on my home from the local electric company. I drive down the streets, that are lined with cell phone towers. I use wifi in my home as an internet option. I use wifi at work. I use the 5G on my phone when wifi is not available. I use my smartphone mostly for texting and for searching the internet/ social media. I am a medical professional, but this is only a report of my personal life experiences. The first time I noted a distinct and obvious negative health consequence from using a cell phone was in 2017. I bought an iphone 10 as an upgrade to an iphone 6 and immediately noted that my hands felt like they were literally burning and on fire when I was holding and using the phone. I immediately contacted Apple, reported the burning sensation, and sent the phone back to them to confirm that it was not defective. They sent it back to me without confirming or denying there was a problem, but the symptoms continued, so I promptly sold the phone and went back to using my iphone 6. My hands continue to feel like they are burning after any prolonged use of a cell phone. I currently use an iphone 14 Pro. Any amount of time using the device causes my hands to tingle. The longer I hold this hand held device, the longer it takes for my burning sensation to recover. If I put it in airplane mode, I have minimal tingling in my hands, in comparison. If I completely stop using any handheld device, my hands stop tingling within a few hours, or a few days, depending on the recent duration of use. I have only had Apple cell phones in the past 20 years. The smart meter on my home has been giving me headaches. I have lived in a home with a smart meter attached to a main living room wall for the past 6 years and am increasingly sensitive to spending any time in that room. The closer I get in proximity to that meter, the worse I feel. I start to feel tense, uneasy, and agitated. I start to get a headache with any prolonged time spent in the living room. I also have the wifi router in close proximity to the smart meter, but I get the same symptoms when the wifi router is unplugged. I have called the electric company and asked for an analog meter that gets read in person, but they told me they do not offer that option. Cell phone towers give me headaches. They also cause a feeling of uneasiness and tension in my body. I was on my honeymoon with my husband, driving from Anchorage to Glennallen, Alaska and we saw an inviting valley where we decided to stop and take a hike. We didn’t note that it was at the base of a very large cell tower (I am assuming it was a cell phone tower but would have to confirm with whatever company owns it). As we climbed the hill I mentioned to my husband that I was getting a very severe headache. Headaches are not common for me in my normal daily life. I have experienced very few, and rarely over my 44 years, except when exposed to emfs. We looked up the hill and noted the giant tower and decided we better start walking away from it, assuming this was the cause. Sure enough, the headache decreased as we got further away. We were unable to enjoy that area and had to continue driving to find a safer alternative for our enjoyment of nature. I have noted similar headaches when driving past certain towers in our city of Anchorage, Alaska. There are certain areas that I try not to drive through because they give me headaches with any proximity. I also note headaches when I am driving on the highway and passing certain large towers (towers I assume are cell phone towers). The headache will start at low intensity and I will make note and look around. Almost always I am able to spot a tower right away. The headache increases in intensity as proximity increases, and decreases as I get further away. I could write much more about the health consequences of the continual broadcasting of radiation from cell towers, smart phones, smart meters, and wifi. I believe it is “cooking” us with high frequency vibration emissions like heat vibrations heat up a pan on the stove to cook food. I believe that we are all being cooked, as well as our pets, animals, plants, and all the molecules around us. Everything is being forced to speed up, causing a host of environmental problems. I have bought an emf reader and have been able to confirm the high frequency emissions from each of the hand held devices in our home, as well as the computers, the smart meter and the wifi router. The health consequences of having these frequencies continually bombarding us will only become more severe as a population in general if we don’t change the trajectory of limitless emfs in our immediate environments. Something must be done. Please, consider my testimony. It is honest and true.

The commenter reports diagnosed electromagnetic hypersensitivity after an electrical incident, describes …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been personally affected by my cell phone, computer and wireless radiation since January of 2019 when I had an “electrical accident” in my home office. Since then, when I touch my cell phone or use my laptop, I get these symptoms: tingling on the tip of my tongue that spreads further back toward my throat, my lips swell, nausea, swelling in my joints, ...until I stop using the device. The cell phone impacts me extremely quickly, just by touching the front of it, and I often get a pulse through my arm. Awhile back, I began to get a lump in my breast. It was right where I could feel the signal from my fingers on the cellphone to my breast. This lump kept increasing in size until I went to the doctor and showed her. It felt important that a medical person see the lump and record it in my health records. Realizing the cell phone seemed to be causing the lump, I stopped using it for 4 days until the limp went away. I can only use a computer for a short time before these reactions occur and nausea sets in. I have friends for whom the reaction is a lightning bolt headache that lasts many days, burning skin and worse. I have also had tinnitus since this occurred. It is loud and affecting my hearing. Hearing aids will be necessary, and you know what they cost, but I can’t have wireless hearing aids which are now wireless or have a battery, something I also can’t tolerate at close range. In the "electrical accident," I was using my computer with the wireless on and charging my cellphone in the same unit of 4 outlets. I was back and forth using the computer and the cell phone when I needed to text/make/take a phone call. Suddenly, tingling began on my tongue, and my lips swelled. I have been told that my hands on both the keyboard and the cell phone at the same time completed something like a closed circuit, charging my body. Since that time, I have had this sensitivity. My doctor and my chiropractor both diagnosed it as Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity. My MD says I am something of an antenna now, possibly exacerbated because we all have metals in our bodies from environmental pollutants. There are costs associated with being electrically sensitive. I cannot have wireless on in my home and must hardwire my laptop. Wireless is free, and cell data, which I am forced to use, is expensive. I purchased a good meter, between $350 and $800. My RF/EMF meter told me there is no place is my home that is really safe enough to sleep on a regular basis and I had to invest in some very expensive shielding material ($1500.00) that shuts out radiowaves in my bedroom. I need to hire a Building Biologist to determine what about my home makes the sensitivity worse. This hire is expensive ($800-1000.00) as well as costs for anything that person determines I must do to mitigate my exposure. I have great concerns (terrified, really) about 5G and all that will come in the future. Smart meters aren't local yet, but we have gotten the dreaded letter saying they are putting them on houses now. These must be studied as they emit huge amounts of strong radiation and will be installed right on our homes. They also put dirty electricity into our wiring, and I and some others react to that. I actually have to turn off the circuit to my bedroom when I sleep so I don’t get a killer headache. What else is forced on us this way? Please let us have free meters on our homes for water, electricity and gas. The more radiation we add to the environment, the more people will be negatively affected. Please study the effects of the enormous amount of cumulative radiation in the air in towns wiht strong wireless infrastructure and those with little. We have seen huge differences. Please study the effect on children, wildlife, the elderly and immuno-compromised. Our lives are in your hands. Please protect us and keep services people-centered not profit driven. Thank you so much! ~ Upton, MA

Put an emf screen on my smart meter after birds disappeared from bird feeder approximately 8 feet away. The birds came back like turning on a light switch. I put my cell phone in a faraday pouch when not in use which helps. It's the huge cell tower put up at the interstate that is the worst for my health. When I leave this area, I feel good again. It drains me of every vital life giving source and leaves me with severe depression and pain. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:2 Cell tower exposer. One north east about a mile away. The other west, less than a mile. I don't get good sleep. Both are directed at the interstate which is less than a half mile south of me Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:I can tell you that the two giant cell towers used for interstate is used for geoengineering ! Planes that disperse chemical trails do so by connecting to the cell towers. They do this to control the weather. I am older than this technology so I remember how the weather used to be. I have seen completely still days instantly turn to 60 mph winds watching the planes connecting the cell tower emf/emr. See Dane Wigington Geoengineering Watch.org or YouTube to get a full understanding of how they force and control the weather by these towers and planes. I watch them seeing how it works. They cause catastrophic storms and floods, heat domes that causes drought, tornadoes not too mention the death of flora and fauna chemical fallouts. I volunteer at a state park. It used to be full of life until a cell tower went up just outside it's borders. Birds and insects instantly disappeared. That was about 8 years ago. What used to be a loud symphony of birdsong has left it silent. The wildlife has tricked down to some sickly few. Many many losses of trees especially fruit and nut. It is greatly noticed by myself because I knew how it was. But for a newcomer, not. It leaves me with great sadness seeing the death of Creation. B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:Two giant cell towers One 4g cell phone One smart meter B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:N/ap B1c.

The commenter reports symptoms after a meter installation and relief with an electrical filter, describes…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The following information is my personal experiences from EMF's and other wireless technologies. On January 19,2018 I returned home after an appointment. My husband told me that a smart meter had been installed on our home. That night I couldn't sleep anywhere in the house. My reaction also included significant tingling, feeling anxious, weakness all over, balance was off, eyes very sensitive to light and thinking skills were off also. I felt miserable and didn't know what to do to get relief. Duke energy did replace the meter with an electrical mechanical meter, but I felt no improvement. With the previous analog meter I could function well. I had to search and educate myself about the EMF problem. Through many months I purchased products that proved to be useless. Finally, in February 2019 I learned about a product that was a filter to be attached to the circuit breaker box. I immediately ordered it and had electricians install it. While they were connecting the wires downstairs, I remained upstairs. I knew INSTANTLY when it was connected. My tingling abruptly completely stopped! After 13 months I had relief! Living with EMF sensitives has negatively impacted my health and life activities. I always need to be aware of EMF exposure sources and avoid them. Some of the hardest places have been hospitals, long term care facilities and medical offices. I have even had to change doctors due to my body's reaction in those settings. With more technologies being used in my neighborhood, I needed to have a building biologist help assess my home. Using two different meters the assessment showed that I needed further remediation. Seeing actual numbers gave me a clear understanding of the exposure strength. For the future I strongly support the 704NoMore initiatives. New lower exposure standards need to be implemented based on science. I firmly believe that more education and research needs to be accomplished.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
5G towers should not be by residential areas, schools, hospitals, stadiums or anywhere ppl are going to be. This technology is a weapon and it's sickening how many I see along freeways. We had fast internet BEFORE these towers went up! Why do we even need these things? Also, there's a problem with WIFI in the home and companies like COMCAST making it very strong so it becomes a network hotspot for cars driving by. This creates a dangerous level of EMF in the home and can accelerate toxic mold growth. Furthermore, people should be ENCOURAGED to not wear "wearables", to turn their phone on airplane mode as much as possible, talk with a speaker, wire their internet with ethernet, get rid of smart meters, install landlines (and make REAL landlines common and affordable again!) . At the very least, households should be encouraged to TURN OFF their internet routers at night to give their bodies a break from the constant electromagnetic pollution.

1. & 2. I am responding as: an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)Smart Meter 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):I have two friends Bob in Chehalis, WA and Alice "Anuttama" in Glenoma, WA - with Smart Meters in Lewis County, Washington State. Both had the Itron Centron AMR CL-200 Smart Meter, placed on their homes around 2022 by Lewis County Public Utility District (PUD) against their will (mandate or shut off electricity). Alice "Anuttama" Budd filed a lawsuit against Lewis County PUD in 2024 in Lewis County Superior Court. The case got dismissed. But the case filings exist. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:Alice "Anuttama" Budd had a roommate who developed pancreatic cancer and died. Alice "Anuttama" Budd developed breast cancer and died December 2025. Bob in Chehalis - his wife developed cancer below the belt in late 2025. His wife had to have her intestines REMOVED and she wears a bag. 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:Alice "Anuttama" Budd of Glenoma, WA had breast cancer when I first met her in 2024. The Itron Centron Smart Meter was installed in 2022. Bob in Chehalis, WA - his wife was diagnosed with cancer below the belt in late November 2025. The Smart Meter was installed on Bob's house in 2022. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?I am giving you second-hand information based on conversations with Alice "Anuttama" Budd who is now dead. Anuttama told me in 2024 that she had breast cancer, that she didn't trust doctors, and she did not seek treatment after diagnosis. Bob in Chehalis, WA, his wife did seek medical treatment. He called it "cancer below the belt." He told me that his wife underwent several surgeries, including surgery to remove her intestines. Now, she wears a bag. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?Alice "Anuttama" Budd fought long and hard in Superior Court to have the Smart Meter removed to no avail. She sent me a video of an EMF monitor measuring the radiation coming off the meter. I have the video, which I can provide by email. Alice "Anuttama" Budd and Bob in Chehalis, WA both begged Lewis County PUD to REMOVE the smart meters and Lewis County PUD REFUSED. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:I have the EMF measurement video along with some court documents from Alice "Anuttama" Budd that I can send by email. Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:I personally do NOT have a smart meter because I fought back against Lewis County PUD Smart Meter mandate for two years (2023-2025) and won (for the time being). My entire neighborhood has Smart Meters with the radio turned ON since March 2024 in Lewis County, Washington State. So, I am surrounded by Smart Meters. What I noticed since March 2024. Nearly all of the bugs disappeared on my rural property on acreage for about two years. That's not a joke. In the spring of 2026, the bugs slowly started to reaapear. This is the first year (2026) that Im seeing caterpillars, butterflies, black flies, black ants, et al. B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects: B1b.
