Smart meters

I have been affected by Wi-Fi electric and gas meters that were installed a few years ago on the side of my residential unit. Several meters that belong to someone else are also there to make things worse. I feel tired, dizzy, brain fog all the time, perhaps other health issues as well. Could not understand why, but I believe I do now. There has to be a legislature passed that will allow consumers to opt out of these meters free of charge especially elderly. Please keep me posted if this very much needed legislature will pass.

I want to know why they massively increased these towers during covid lockdown. I have yet to see one physically being installed in our area, they seemed to have just appeared. I want to know why they put a smart meter on my house without our permission, they just changed it out. Certainly not enough communication between the companies that do this crap and the people that live here. I think they should have had hard core data and a discussion with the cities and townships before they installed all of these towers (eyesores) around the neighborhoods. Our bodies are full of electrical currents that generate naturally, our brains and hearts and I can't help but think that EMFs, Radiofrequency and Wireless Radiation are an overload to our bodies and wellbeing. You definitely need to have studies done on it's effects. Listen to both sides of the spectrum and the possible concerns from everyday people. We all saw what happened during covid are we going to let this turn out to be another mistake, people have legitimate concerns not only for themselves, but their children. Let's find some common ground and work towards a solution. We have already been bombarded with enough metals, plastics and poisons in our foods and water and this is just adding fuel to the fire. Please take this seriously!

AMAZING that you are doing this! I have been fighting the EMF war for decades now. Grew up in the generation where we didn't have all of this DEATH TECH and in fact it was illegal to put it anywhere near a house or school. Then brought 3 kids into the world and have been protecting my Family to the teeth. One of the major reasons they do not attend public school is because of the WI-FI in the classrooms/hallways/etc. Not to mention the cell phones of teachers and students nowadays! It's absolutely frightening, this digital environment. I help mitigate EMF radiation for others' and their homes/businesses with testing devices as well as creating protective barriers SMALL GAUGE CHICKEN WIRE, blocking most microwaves. But we don't want to have to protect.. we want the assailant source OUT of our towns. Smart Meters are one of the worst! But none of this compares to NEXRAD. You can click here and see whomever is controlling these DEMONIC DEVICES are manipulating the WEATHER simultaneously: https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=continental-conus-comp_radar-24-1-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined. Especially in Texas and the East Coast! Please, TURN THESE OFF. We went on a journey around the 4 Corner States and were evading FIRES the entire 5 months! Only then did I start to recognize the pattern. Wherever there were Microwave Towers (cell) and NEXRAD (specifically), the air was DRY and almost violent. Most importantly, the CLOUDS & STORM SYSTEMS could not FORM! There should have been RAIN this entire summer/fall. We were in Colorado Springs, tucked into Cheyenne Mountain and would watch the massive rain clouds come in from the range but then DISINTEGRATE before our eyes as soon as they REACHED CITY LIMITS. Why?? Because of the massage PUEBLO & DENVER NEXRADs. Once these 270? devices are turned off around the nation.. WATCH the RAIN come. REAL CLOUDS and REAL WEATHER will resume!! Thank you so much for your time and ALL that you do for our GREAT COUNTRY. You are ANGEL WARRIORS! Contact me if I can be of Service, as well. Cheers and God/dess Speed.

I'm writing as a concerned parent and citizen. I think more needs to be done to study the health effects of EMFs and RFs especially in schools, homes, vehicles etc. At school students are constantly surrounded by wifi and personal devices including tablets and Bluetooth headphones. At home smart meters are replacing analog meters. I have to pay a monthly price to have my analog meter read. Cell phone frequencies need updated studies. Wired headphones are becoming obsolete. Even new vehicles are constantly searching for wifi signals. 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.

My husband and I have been tormented for the past four years by a piercing noise that seems to be coming through the walls of our home. This noise began immediately after Entergy Arkansas installed smart meters in our area. I have had pain, headaches, insomnia and horrible depression. My husband had a heart attack, quadruple bypass surgery and is still having trouble with afib that is not being controlled with medication. I have literally begged Entergy to let us have our old analog meter. I have signed opt out papers but Entergy will not help us. I've filed a complaint with the attorney general of Arkansas but Entergy actually lied to them about coming to our home. People are suffering horribly, needlessly, all in the name of more data! This is communism!! My husband and I worked and paid for out home and now we're being tortured because a company only concerned about profit is telling us what we can do in our own home!! Please, please help us before it's too late!

Submitted Oct 13, 2026 Comment submitted by Dr Karl Maret regarding Request for Information on EMFs, RF and Wireless Radiation Exposure and its Impact on Health published in the Federal Register Vol 91, No 181 dated September 21, 2026. I am offering my expert opinion on the current danger of wireless radiation in today’s increasingly radio frequency and microwave radiation environment including sources from cell towers and antennas, WiFi and wireless transmitters, wireless devices in the home and office environment, cell phones and other cordless phones, and wireless smart meters. These wireless transmitters typically operate at present between 800 Megahertz (MHz) and 5 Gigahertz GHz), with new devices now coming into use with the latest 5G technologies that are capable of operating between 2.4 and 95 GHz using very short wavelengths called millimeter waves. This comment is in response to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Request for Information on EMFs, RF and Wireless Radiation Exposure and its Impact on Health published in the Federal Register Vol 91, No 181 dated September 21, 2026. I have given expert testimony regarding the dangers of this type of radio frequency radiation (RFR) based on my background as an electrical engineer, biomedical engineer and medical doctor who has also completed also a post-doctoral fellowship in physiology and served as a Bioscience Officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. Details of my background and contact information can be found in the longer Word document attached to this comment. Since the 1996 Telecommunications Act that established the U.S. nation-wide cellular communications network, there have been essentially no new health protection standards implemented to protect the general population despite massive research studies showing evidence of harm to the general population. Especially problematic is Radio Frequency Radiation that comes from transmitters close to the body as well as high powered transmitters from cell towers and antennas, microwave transmitters covering schools, housing projects and apartment complexes where the transmitters are often hidden in ceilings and walls. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which is charged with protecting the public, has exposure standards that are principally suitable for short-term exposure and only those that concern heating or thermal effects while ignoring any long-term exposure and non-thermal effects that are now the norm. The widespread proliferation of this technology now in its 5th generation of development (5G), is viewed by hundreds of scientists throughout the world as hazardous to human welfare. The United States has one of the highest exposure guidelines in the developed world which is hundreds of times higher than permitted in other countries including China, Eastern European countries and Russia which have studied the long-term health effects of these RF radiations and chosen to protect their populations appropriately. We have known of the adverse health effects for at least five decades with thousands of studies demonstrating an increased incidence of brain tumors (gliomas, acoustic neuromas, glioblastomas and pituitary tumors) in addition to thyroid and parotid gland tumors. Breast cancers have been demonstrated in young women exactly at the multiple antenna sites who carried their cell phones inside their bras. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a division of the World Health Organization (WHO), has classified electromagnetic radiation as a Class 2B possible carcinogen in 2011 based on numerous scientific studies. My full comment and a brief summary of my past experience and qualifications are attached in the Word file attached as well as 2 PDFs of presentations that substantiate my concerns about the adverse health effects of long-term EMFs and the wireless radiation. I am writing this comment both as a past expert, a healthcare provider, and a very concerned living man who has observed great suffering from many electrosensitive people during 30 years of healthcare practice.

On behalf of Southwest Pennsylvania for Safe Technology, I submit our organization's attached public comment and supporting scientific research in response to HHS Request for Information, Docket No. HHS-OASH-2026-0397. Our submission presents reports received from Pennsylvania individuals and families concerning biological and health effects associated with radiofrequency electromagnetic exposure, including serious neurological medical crises involving medically vulnerable individuals. We urge HHS to investigate these reports, prioritize independent scientific research concerning individuals with epilepsy and other neurological disabilities, evaluate cumulative and involuntary exposures, and consider practical exposure reduction accommodations, including non-transmitting utility metering alternatives. Our submission includes two scientific attachments identifying relevant peer-reviewed research and examining the methodology and conclusions of WHO-commissioned systematic reviews. Please accept and consider our complete attached PDF, including both attachments, as part of the public record. Respectfully, Susan M. Jennings, MPA Founder, Southwest Pennsylvania for Safe Technology

Comment on Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397: Request for Information on EMFs, RF Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure Question 2: Perspective I am submitting this comment as an individual who experiences adverse symptoms from exposure to wireless radiation and other electromagnetic fields. Question 3: Personal Experience a. Sources: I react to cell phones, cell towers, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, 5G, smart meters, wireless printers, and other smart or wireless devices. c. Symptoms: When exposed, I experience heart palpitations, elevated blood pressure, headaches, dizziness, nausea, disorientation, and elevated and erratic blood sugar. f. Steps taken to reduce exposure: I have no wireless internet or any kind of wireless device in my home other than a 4G cell phone for emergencies, which is kept off all of the time unless needed. Avoiding exposure has reshaped nearly every part of my life: Work: I cannot work anywhere other than at home. Housing: I cannot live in apartments or near other houses, buildings, or cell towers. Finding a safe home is becoming harder every year as wireless infrastructure expands. Transportation: I drive a 2003 vehicle because I cannot ride in most modern cars, which are full of wireless systems. Public life: I cannot stay in public places for long, and I cannot spend much time in the homes of friends and family. Healthcare and government services: I have had to walk out of medical appointments and appointments in government buildings because I became too sick to stay. Hospitals are among the hardest places for me to be. During one hospital stay, doctors did not understand why I became sicker and sicker until they realized that a wireless heart monitor was the cause and I improved once it was removed. However, the exposure usually comes from so many different sources in the building and the other equipment that the exposure cannot be removed or lowered enough. Because of this, I have had to avoid hospital stays or leave earlier than my doctors recommended. This is a serious problem when I need medical care. This is not a minor inconvenience. It limits my ability to earn a living, find housing, use transportation, receive medical care, access government services, and maintain relationships. Question 13(j) and Question 11(d) and (f): Wireless Medical Devices My doctor prescribed medical equipment that I cannot use because it relies on Bluetooth. As medical devices increasingly become wireless by default, people who react to RF exposure are being shut out of care they need. Wired or non-wireless alternatives should remain available for medical devices, and patients should be told whether a device emits RF and whether its wireless functions can be turned off. Question 11: Sensitive Populations Yes, exposure assessment should differ for sensitive populations. In addition to children and pregnant women, HHS should recognize people who experience symptoms from RF/EMF exposure as a population that needs specific study and protection (11g). Case reports have documented people developing symptoms after nearby 5G installations [18], and studies of people living near cell towers have reported symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and sleep problems [19, 20], as well as changes in blood sugar [25]. Children absorb more RF radiation into their brains and bodies than adults do [1, 2, 21]. Prenatal exposure has been linked to neurodevelopmental and behavioral changes in animals [3], and RF exposure has been associated with effects on memory performance in adolescents [4]. Question 12: Evidence of Effects Below Current Limits Current federal limits were set in 1996 and are based mainly on heating. Research has reported biological effects at levels below these limits, including oxidative stress [5], DNA damage [6, 7, 8], reproductive harm [9, 10, 11, 12], and tumors in animals exposed over their lifetimes [13]. Reviews conclude that non-thermal effects are not accounted for by current limits [14, 22, 23]. Question 14: Environmental Effects RF radiation may also affect wildlife, including bird and insect orientation and insect exposure at higher frequencies [15, 16, 17]. Recommendations [24] 1. Fund independent research on long-term and cumulative exposure. 2. Develop science-based exposure limits that account for non-thermal effects. 3. Require safety testing of wireless devices before they go on the market, and track health problems after. 4. Improve oversight and enforcement of exposure limits. 5. Reduce exposures for children, vulnerable groups, and wildlife. 6. Require wired or non-wireless options for medical devices. 7. Create low-EMF areas in hospitals, medical offices, and government buildings. 8. Require clear disclosure of RF emissions from devices, vehicles, and infrastructure.

Comment from EHS Association in Denmark (EHS-Foreningen – https://ehsf.dk) The Danish EHS Association represents people who experience adverse health effects from a wide variety of EMF and RF-EMF emitting sources. The association currently have around 500 members. Adverse health effects (insomnia, heart palpitations, headache, migraine, restlessness in the body, fatigue, cognitive issues (brain fog, memory issues, etc.), burning skin, nausea, dizziness, joint pain, pain in organs, tinnitus, stress and more) are often reported by members to be related to: - Cell towers - Wi-Fi routers and devices - Bluetooth devices - Cellphones and smartphones - Wireless speakers - Smart meters - High-voltage cables in the ground - PV solar inverters - Robotic lawnmowers with active boundary wires - Induction and microwave cooking - EV charging stations and EV´s - Dirty electricity - Stray currents - "Regular" 50 Hz electrical fields or EMF from wires, household appliances, and electronics such as TVs, stereos, computers, etc. (some members turn everything off at night, or do not have electricity in their homes at all) Members also experience specific settings as being particularly often related to adverse health effects, such as: - Being in crowds in general: cinemas, concerts, family gatherings and more (many people = many cellphones = high exposure) - Using public transport such as buses, trains and boats (a closed metal box + many cellphones = high exposure) - Being in hospitals (WiFi, Bluetooth, DECT phone systems, Wireless medical equipment and many people) - Being in airports (many people with cellphones, wearables, etc. + radar) - Flying - Beaches and harbours with radar nearby Recommendations: 1. Inform general practitioners that they should register and notify the HHS (e.g. via an online form) when a patient reports adverse health effects related to EMF or RF-EMF exposure. To our knowledge, nothing is being systematically reported or registered when patients discuss these issues with their practitioner. We are sometimes contacted by affected individuals because nurses at clinics recommend contacting us. 2. Initiate a survey among general practitioners to provide an estimate of how often patients report having EMF or RF-EMF-related issues. 3. Set up an online form in which people who personally experience adverse health effects related to EMF or RF-EMF exposure can state which symptoms (headache, insomnia, dizziness, etc.) they experience and in which settings (scrolling on a smartphone, staying somewhere close to a cell tower, traveling by bus/train, going to a concert, etc.). 4. Make general information about how to lower exposure when using a cellphone widely available to the public. This is a brochure with the Scandinavian countries' precautionary recommendations when using a cellphone: https://foreninglet-cms-files.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/4244/xZ3LDeGaQmzZ.pdf Thank you for providing individuals, families, health care providers, researchers and scientists an opportunity to be heard on this critical public health issue.

I am a 62 year old woman who has suffered from electromagnetic radiation syndrome (EMR) since 2010, over 16 years ago. It started when a smart meter was placed on my home. I instantly had difficulties sleeping, severe anxiety and other mental health symptoms such as adhd, depression, and inability to focus. I also was diagnosed by a Doctor for the condition in 2013. I suffer extreme symptoms being around cell phones and wireless of any kind, and because of this, I also suffer with social isolation. The symptoms are many and varied depending on strength and length of time of exposure. I have had headaches, bleeding nose, bladder spasms, severe insomnia, memory loss, forgetfulness, brain fog, burning sensations in skin, neuropathy, and many more. There are many people I know that are suffering the same and some people have the same symptoms without understanding the cause. The research has been done and clearly shows the harm of these frequencies on human health and behavior and to ignore this would be a crime against humanity. There are other technologies that could be made available that would not cause the harm that comes from wireless.
