Smart meters

Hello! I am a Swede living in Sweden and in Spain. I have electrosensitivity since 2006 due to working too much with technology as a filmmaker. It was eventually my own canon videocamera that made me fall into the pit. Needless to say that I get headache and energy loss and constant colds when my immune system goes down in environments with high microwave frequencies and where the electromagnetic fields are high in both microtesla and voltage. I wanted to point out an issue that is not really covered since the focus is mostly on 5G and other terrible wireless systems. I have noticed that these days the microtesla is really high inside and outside houses when measuring with my electrosmog meter, and this I also feel a lot in my whole body and head. Furthermore I have unfortunately not found a good place to live in Malmö in Sweden due to the central heating of the city and due to the smart meters from which its inherent transformers and microwaves emit spikes on the kind 50hz electrical cords in all the houses. And the central heating has also high voltage and microtesla that are transmitted from the original central heating and enlarged by the switchers in every house and then spread up by the leading metal tubes in the house to all the radiators in every apartment or villa. So these will literally be radiating in every room high fluctuating microtesla and voltage which is eat to measure with a electrosmog meter (Cornet for example). So this is the case in bigger cities in Sweden. So I was also surprised to notice high voltage and really high fluctuating microtesla in houses Portugal for example. I don't know why it's so. And I also noticed it with my meter and my brain that got a heavy headache at a friend's apartment in Malmö. So I measured outside her apartment house where there had been put up lightment of modern color lamps. My assumption is that these lampa are wireless controlled and therefore emit such high microtesla and voltage in the whole environment, both outside and inside the houses. I am really worried about this and would like to see some safety regulations around this. So an other issue are the solar cells and the wind mills. I have learned that it has to do with that there are transformers up at the highest point of the windmills that are spreading electromagnetism for serval kilometers away. I "feel" (headache , nausea, energy loss) from a windmill if I am closer than five kilometers away. Instead there should be a faraday's cage around that transformer, or put it on the ground with a parade cage around it. The transformer is changing the voltage rate. This should be constructed in a safer way. And likewise I cannot be close to solar cells or its equipment (transformers and controllers) forany meters. It is not a joke since solar cells are forbidden where military planes are flying low, since the radiation from the solar cells technology is disturbing the instruments inside the planes. Nevertheless there are "kind" solar cells and equipment and it is important to not install the equalizer system on the solar cells, ie that regulates the solar cells when there are clouds that give shade on some parts of the solar cells that are connected together. This makes the whole solar cell roof radiant... Apart from wireless systems and gadgets I also suffer a lot from house alarms and energy saving lamps and some kind of led lamps. Lamps can emit so much fluctuating microtesla. And also dimmers, which is due to the hammering on the electrical cord that therefore emit high spikes and give headache and energy loss, among all the other symptoms... So to avoid that it's better to have the dimmer lamp fully turned on or turned off. Not in between. I also noticed that my sick and sad old aunt was sleeping in fluctuating microtesla in her hospital bed at the senior sick house where her daughter put her. I went there to clean the electromagnetic and wireless ambiance of her room that made her so dizzy and lost. Even if I unplugged the electrical cable of her aluminium metal bed structure which had fluctuating microtesla according to my electrosmog meter it still was emitting, probably due to a encapsulated battery in the bed structure to moving the different bed parts up and down. So I found her a second hand bed of wood, with the same possibility to move the parts up and down with a cord control that the personnel would plug in if needed. She slept so much better after that. And also because I shut down one of the main fuses in the fuse box in her room as well since I measured it with my electrosmog meter that was peaking totally. So strange...

I suffered greatly from headaches, but we could not find the cause. The headaches just kept getting worse; eventually, I had them day and night. I took a lot of painkillers and muscle relaxants, but over time, they stopped working as well. I felt nauseous, vomited, and couldn't manage to eat much. I tried everything that was suggested, but nothing helped. I was desperate! One day in 1985, I collapsed—my body went into spasms. And I was sent to hospital. I was hospitalised 14 days in the emergency unit in Oslo University Hospital in connection with a total collapse caused by an unknown condition. I was diagnosed with a virus infection of the brain. After 3 months of sick leave, I returned to work and suffered from an acute headache within 5 minutes of entering my office. We discovered the office was built over a transformer: “mystery solved”, it was not a virus infection of the brain, it was a radiation sickness. We were happy to understand the problem. However, my doctor couldn´t help, and the Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority told the doctor and me that these electromagnetic fields could not harm my body at all. I was lucky that my boss was an electro-engineer, and he understood very well that an external electromagnetic field (EMF) could interfere with my body’s electric signals. I got a new office, a flat screen monitor (very expensive at that time, but I couldn´t use the old CRT screens because of the radiation) and could continue my work. As I started to search for more knowledge about the radiation sickness - now called electro- hypersensitivity (EHS) - I got in contact with dr. Olle Johansson from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. I have had a good life, but I have to make certain adjustments and take specific precautions. Our family has had to move a couple of times due to external sources (mobile masts). We use wired connections for telephones, PCs, and so on, and we have an exemption from AMS (smart meters). I cannot travel by train—or any other form of public transport, for that matter—because of all the people carrying mobile phones. Since 2001, I have been working within voluntary organizations to help other people who are electro-hypersensitive. I am Secretary General in Citizens´ Radiation Protection in Norway (folkets-stralevern.no) and also President in International EMF Association (iemfa.org).

Hello - To be brief, I am a medical professional and read Dr Robert O Beckers books about the harms and benefits of RF as well as listening to many investigators on the subject of RF , WIFI and EMF in general such as radiation research.org. I had moved to a 10 acre piece of land in Fl and keep my WIFI off unless needed. Everything is hard wired. In 2025 the SECO corporation, my electric provider, decided to strong arm me into placing a smart meter on my home after many letters and objections, it didn’t matter - they would bring the sheriff if I continued to refuse. If I tried to use my faraday cage again they would fine me $200. I informed them that our new HHS Secretary would be speaking out against wide use of EMF. We are electrical beings and of course there will be health effects. Please, at least educate and give people the opportunity to choose. Thank You

2: I am a chartered electrical engineer in the UK, responding as an individual consumer and patient. (I am not representing my professional institution.) The answers below provide a brief summary of my experience in suffering adverse health reactions to digital electricity meters and my personal investigation into the cause. Further details are available here: https://engx.theiet.org/f/discussions/30160/reasons-why-i-suffered-tinnitus-insomnia-chronic-fatigue-and-other-health-problems-after-having-digital-electricity-meters-installed 3a: I've suffered adverse reactions to EFs and EMFs from: • Digital electricity meters, smart or dumb • Broadband routers • Mains LED lighting 3b, c, d & f: I started suffering severe high-pitched (14 kHz) non-pulsatile tinnitus, ear pressure and insomnia 15 hours after smart meters were installed in my home in February 2022. For the next 5 days, I slept no more than 90 minutes per night. The electricity meter was then replaced with another model. When this meter was powered on, my ears each felt an electrical shock. My tinnitus, ear pressure and insomnia improved slightly, but still not tolerable The smart communications module was removed 2 days later, the power company believing I would no longer suffer. Alas, further symptoms developed over the following days and weeks, chronic fatigue becoming the most debilitating, while struggling to get medical help and an analog meter refitted urgently. In July 2022, the company installed an old non-smart digital meter. My tinnitus intensified almost immediately. Another such meter was trialed 3 weeks later. My tinnitus eased, but I developed a migraine 4 days later. I left home and over the next 3 days I recovered from the migraine and chronic fatigue. I returned home, started to feel unwell almost immediately, so I left and recovered again. I returned home on the day this meter was being replaced. Outside, I tingled horribly and instructed my wife to turn off the electricity. The tingling ceased immediately, providing evidence that the household wiring was acting like a transmission antenna. The replacement meter, the same type as the 2nd, caused symptoms similar to those experienced while its counterpart was installed. An analog meter was finally refitted 2 weeks later. I recovered back to around 80% of normal in 1 week. However, tinnitus and insomnia still continue, but these are milder than at any time during my meter ordeal, but they are getting worse as exposure to what has become known as “dirty electricity” increases. Details of symptoms, their approximate timing in relation to meter installations and my actions to mitigate the effects can be found in Attachment 1. 3e: Medical assessments were sought throughout my ordeal. I was only ever diagnosed with tinnitus and a blood pressure problem. All the medics I saw were sadly at a loss to help me. 3g: Attachment 2 contains a list of the scientific evidence I have obtained in full. 5n: Regulators must be fully independent from organizations that manufacture or use equipment that emits RF/EMF for financial gain. 5o: Yes. The cause of my sensitivity, low frequency EMFs, are poorly represented in the available science, despite being considered bio-active. The public understandably have concerns over high frequency mobile communication signals, but few people realize that badly suppressed switched-mode power supplies and inverters can cause debilitating health issues due to their low frequency emissions. 5p: The current use of SAR ignores the characteristics that cause interference with biology at much lower intensities than required for heating body tissue. (Polarization is another characteristic that needs to be considered.) 6: Scientists claim there are over 125,000 pieces of evidence available. 8: Assessment must take into account all characteristics and also real-world conditions where a dwelling or workplace are subject to multiple emitters of RF/EMF. 9: A system to forewarn people of potentially harmful exposure is essential. Currently, sensitive people only find out if somewhere is harmful when they start feeling ill, which is too late. Avoidance is key not just to stay well, but also to prevent sensitivity increasing. 10: New systems must be developed in order to assess the scale of this problem. The medical profession have to take notice of those of us who know we are sensitive. They also need to find out why a minority of people have become highly sensitive in order to prevent the majority becoming so sensitive. 11: Current standards are largely based upon short term tests with a healthy adult male and a few animals. They are highly unsuited for protecting children, females, the elderly and adults with certain medical conditions. 16: Low frequency EMFs: The cost to suppress these frequencies from power supplies and inverters is peanuts in comparison to the cost of healthcare, welfare payments, lost productivity and ruined lives etc.

Ron Schranz 11 Honuea Place, Kihei, HI 96753 Tel/Fax: (808) 875-8287 rschranz@hotmail.com Brain & Eye damages from Microwave radiation to me. 10/18/2026 I moved into Kihei in 2005 from ag land in Haiku and purchased a lot at 85 Honuea pl and was NOT given any disclosure of the 50 or more cell transmitters mounted within 3800 feet of my home. One night in 2006 after 1 year of constant exposure I was woken up at approx. 3 AM with a debilitating headache, my brain on fire causing massive sweating to the point that my pillow could hardly be picked up as the thermal effects had cooked my head profusely. I soon discovered that each time I entered my home the head aches started. I then was NOT able to sleep, watch TV, eat at my dining room or spend any time in my home office without suffering major pains and more debilitating headaches. In trying to sleep in my bed I was allowed apprx. A few hours before the pain and headaches would begin again. I soon could NOT spend much time if any in my home without suffering badly from microwave poisoning. I was forced to abandon my home and seek refuge in any area that was not heavily bombarded with transmissions from cell towers which was just about impossible in the Kihei area. I subsequently suffered from heavy memory loss to the point that I could not work or barely function in my life. I had problems remembering my own phone number and was totally unable to do any of my contracting business which require lots of calculating. I was disabled by this condition for more than a year. Page 2 continued Ron Schranz Microwave poisoning After a year I was sleeping in my car and trying to function as a contractor doing my bidding and calculating. I had found that spending time away from home and soaking my head in cold water frequently would help some. I began to research my condition and found that it is well know that the effects of microwaves cause many many people like me to suffer many painful symptoms. The thought by many medical professionals and scientist is that this condition is called EHS Electro Hyper sensitivity. It is reported around the world that many others are suffering from this exposure to microwaves and that there are tons of scientist that have proof that there is extreme dangers to the human body from microwave radiation. I have been battling this condition since 2006. I have read and studied all I can in an attempt to mitigate the symptoms as much as possible. I was not able to leave my home as my income was drastically reduced due to my inability to function. I was unable to pay my mortgage and subsequently filed for bankruptcy. I have been forced to stay in this home since then as I had no extra money or even credit to move or purchase another home. My home is still in litigation at this time. As I was able to somehow cope with my condition and start generating some money I began to purchase all kinds of equipment to test for safe areas and also buy protective clothing or shielding to make my home more livable. The towers near me were increasing in numbers and strength to illegal limits. I contacted FCC but they said they had no agents in Hawaii and that they allow the cell companies to police themselves. In other words they would do nothing to protect humans suffering and gave free reign to the telecommunications people in FULL. Page 3 Ron Schranz Microwave poisoning continued With the proliferation of solar systems in Hawaii now and even though the PUC has NOT given the local electric company permission to change out home owners electric meters to Smart meters/Digital meters the electric company has used the excuse of solar systems installed on home to swap out analog meters with now Digital meters. I now have 8 digital meters on homes surrounding me and I am being FRIED to death in my own home. This is CRIMINAL TRESPASSING at it’s worst. I walk into my home and instantly feel dizzy along with major eye pains gripping within moments of entering. The eye pains are excruciating and now have gotten to the point of causing major damage to my eyes. My right eye has a swollen macular blurring out any vision in that eye. My left eye has a hole in the retina and is in just as much pain. My entire property is now radiated 24/7. I can not even work the yard or wash my car without felling all these painful symptoms. As HHS I implore you to take action and STOP all this destruction of all our families especially children. Switch to Fiber optics wired and move ALL towers far away from homes, schools and save us all from this pain and suffering. Sincerely Ron Schranz

See attached file(s) My name is Lene Hannisdahl Haug, and this document serves to summarize the severe and life-threatening impact that electromagnetic radiation, particularly 5G, is having on my health, my family, and my daily existence. • Acute Physical Suffering: Since the 5G radiation was directed at my home, I have developed severe health failures. I suffer from a constant, infernal, and throbbing headache that lasts day and night. The pain is so intense that it makes me nauseous, and it causes severe cognitive impairment to the point where I can barely move, think, or even hold my head up to write. I experience this continuous exposure as pure physical torture, and my body reacts as though I am constantly being beaten. • Loss of Freedom and Total Confinement: My life has been drastically restricted to protect myself from radiation. Due to my sensitivity to smart meters (AMS), I have lived like a prisoner in my own home since the fall of 2018. However, the upgrade to 5G has turned this confinement into unbearable torture. I cannot even step outside my house to enjoy the weather, leaving me with less freedom than a prison inmate who is at least allowed daily outdoor time. • Forced Displacement and Isolation: The pain became so unendurable that I had to flee my own home to survive. To escape the 5G pulses and frequencies, I lived in complete isolation at a remote cabin far away from civilization. While this allowed me to recover my health physically, it forced me into heartbreaking isolation, separated entirely from my husband and children. • Devastating Impact on Family Life: The radiation exposure prevents me from participating in the most important moments of my family's life.Most tragically, the radiation environment and the physical pain completely prevented me from attending my own mother's funeral in the church. • Documented Cause and Effect: There is an undeniable and documented pattern regarding my illness. Throughout 2024 and 2025, my health completely collapsed during periods of 5G exposure, yet I partly recovered and became healthy during the periods when the environment was restricted to 4G. • A Fight for Survival: I am living in an acute, ongoing emergency. The situation is so desperate that I feel like I am drowning. With telecom operators planning to activate even more 5G transmitters pointing directly at my house in the direct line of sight, I am terrified for my life and am pleading with authorities for immediate protection.

I live in Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture, Japan (33.5569398°N 133.5457296°E). The Kochi Prefectural Police and a cult-like religious group are subjecting me to electromagnetic wave attacks. Whenever I go out, the Kochi Prefectural Police deploy drones or UAVs—aerial objects that emit loud, jet-like roaring sounds (there are multiple such craft, including some that produce quieter, yet still intense, noise). These objects lack visible identification lights and do not emit any light; it is unclear whether they are manned or unmanned. They constantly generate electromagnetic waves, exposing me to their harmful effects. Recently, these aerial objects appear every time I leave my home; they follow me as I move, hovering overhead and producing loud, roaring noises. Although the craft themselves remain invisible, their presence and the fact that they track my movements are evident—bystanders, unaware of what is happening, often look up toward the source of the noise, searching for the craft that cannot be seen (33°32'59.7"N 133°33'09.6"E). They are left bewildered, hearing the sounds but seeing nothing. I want this "gang stalking" by a state institution to stop. Similar electromagnetic wave attacks are also carried out using police helicopters. Specifically, police helicopters engage in abnormally low-altitude flights, targeting me with electromagnetic waves and the shockwaves generated by their rotating rotors. (On one occasion, an object even hovered at an altitude lower than the 68.70-meter height of the Kochi City Culture Plaza "Cul-Port"—a building near where I live—and remained there, confronting me.) The Kochi Prefectural Police have been conducting GPS-based surveillance, continuously funneling this location data via a smartphone app to a cult-like religious group. This group then targets the places I visit with electromagnetic radiation (often by collectively pointing devices—ostensibly smartphones—toward me). I am also subjected to electromagnetic wave-generating equipment, as well as low-frequency or intermittent, deep, heavy-bass sounds. (These are directed toward my apartment unit; I hear faint, rhythmic "thud-thud" sounds. It is unclear whether these are the startup noises of machinery or intentionally generated low-frequency/intermittent deep-bass sounds, but I notice them whenever I wake up—suggesting that my sleep is being deliberately disrupted.) Furthermore, I received a letter from "Shikoku Electric Power Transmission & Distribution"—a subsidiary of "Shikoku Electric Power"—regarding the installation of a "smart meter" equipped with communication capabilities. I am deeply frustrated by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy (a Japanese government body) and its disregard for the public; it appears to prioritize the interests of gas and electricity utility companies while completely ignoring the concerns of individuals like myself who suffer from "electromagnetic hypersensitivity." Since the installation of this smart meter, I have experienced a recurring, abnormal phenomenon: I wake up approximately every 30 minutes. (This is directly linked to the smart meter’s practice of transmitting power consumption data every 30 minutes.) This interferes with fundamental human physiological needs and poses a serious danger. Notably, this issue is not mentioned in any documentation provided by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, including materials regarding "opt-out" procedures. I am being subjected to an outrageous and egregious ordeal: a forced, unilateral demand for payment of ¥44,000. The conduct of the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy and Shikoku Electric Power—actions that trample upon human dignity—cannot be overlooked. My sleep has been disrupted, and I am being coerced into paying money; such acts, which border on crimes against humanity, are being carried out brazenly in Japan by both corporations and state institutions. While Shikoku Electric Power’s website features a Q&A section, it shows a complete lack of consideration for those who have been victimized. It is clear that Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is operating with a focus on profit rather than understanding the reality of the situation. I demand an immediate end to the use of smart meters. In Japan, state institutions and the police fail to function as they should; instead, they sacrifice the public to serve their own vested interests, stealing taxpayer money to line their own pockets. The police are the ringleaders of this evil. They commit wrongdoing themselves, yet they are never held accountable. I demand that they be purged immediately.

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 an advocate and concerned member of the public. I am in shock at the seeming endless explosion of cell towers and WIFI being everywhere. Perhaps this is why even though I am a robustly healthy person who eats organic food, exercises, drinks only water, and practices a healthy lifestyle, my head feels bad every day. This never happened before a smart meter was put on our house. Why are WIFI routers allowed in schools where children go every day. Their skulls are thinner, and their brains are developing. We should have ethernet cables in all schools, in offices, in hospitals, and homes. Wifi comes with a lot of hazards and HHS needs to look into this. Please don't trust any research from the organizations that are creating the EMF and EMR hazards. 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.

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. Back in 2014 a bank of 7 wireless electric smart meters were installed in the condo building where I lived at the time. The same day they were installed I began experiencing vertigo and balance problems. As time went on I experienced brain fog and pressure in my head. The symptoms were bad enough that I was forced to vacate my unit and move back in with my mom for about a year until I was able to sell my condo and purchase a single family home free from smart meters. There are scientific studies that show that EMF's can act via Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels (VGCC's) to cause adverse biological effects. Please investigate the research published by Dr. Martin Pall. Also, the Bioinitiative Report (first published in 2012 and updated since) provides a rationale for Biologically based Exposure Standards for Electromagnetic Radiation. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the 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. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

See attached file(s) My life my sleep is interrupted numerous times each night since smart meters we installed at large all over NY. I live in a bldg with 60 smart meters. I personally opted out and my actual usage is obtainable; but I am continually botherec by EMF that is very intrusive. I am a Pharmacist studying for Lifestyle Medicine Board Certification exam because I no longer am able to take Perdiem jobs because I get woken up to many times each night. My suggestion is to ask the candidate fo NYS comptroller Joseph Hernandez to present valuable information to consider. Compare medication usage, prescriptions written and filled for blood pressure meds and insomnia meds between 2010-2019 and compare to prescription prescribing spending usage 2019-2026. The increase in prescriptions and diagnoses between two time frames is because almost everyone, almost every household got smart meters installed in 2019 and since then everyone is being woken up at night with blood pressure or arrhythmia symptoms that are triggered by smart meter signals. Smart meters are costing US prescription expenses and expenses for related services needed. Re Regulations: Smart meter monitoring should not be allowed from 8pm to 8am. If we want people to be well, we as a society need to shut down electronic energy during the night and get deep restorative sleep. Contact Joseph Hernandez (NYS candidate for Comptroller) for all financial data related to health spending in NYS. Please research how ConEdison and other energy company smart meter monitoring continually at all hours has effected health status in the past 2 decades I assert current prescription expenses are because of EMF usage at all hours..
