Exposure limits & oversight

Dear Department of Health and Human Services: I am writing to ask that you to create Public Service Announcements to help educate and support the public in reducing their exposure to man-made Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), including WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular antennas, towers, etc. I am also writing to ask you to create regulations to help reduce the amount of man-made EMFs that are allowed in the public environment including: removing cell antennas and towers from schools, residential areas, shopping centers, and all highly populated areas; having all buildings hardwired with Ethernet internet access for all computers and phones; require industry to create hard-wired equivalent products for those who want to and need to reduced their man-made EMF load. Please ask Industry to: only use Infrared technology for remote controls; bring back hardwired options of stereos, headsets and all electronic devices; have non-SMART options for ALL appliances; have Ethernet ports in computers and laptops; have headphone jacks in computers, laptops and phones. Many years ago I rented an office across the street from a building that had cell antennas attached to its roof line. A window in my office had a direct line of site to one of the cell antennas. Over the years I developed symptoms of radio-frequency illness. I developed rashes on different parts of my body, fatigue, severe dry eye pains, severe lower leg cramps, tinnitus, loss of short term memory, inability to recall words/names, inability for my body to regulate heat, heart palpitations, insomnia, dizziness, headaches, joint pains. I felt like I had early onset dementia. I have developed Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity from the years of overexposure to the man-made Electromagnetic Fields. I discovered the source of all of my symptoms, after I measured the high levels of radio-frequency in my office with a HF35C Gigahertz Solutions meter. After talking to a Building Biologist, I decided to purchase SwissShield Naturell fabric to cover the entire wall facing the cell antenna. I slowly started to heal from the radio-frequency illness after I shielded my office. Other ways I protect myself on a daily basis is to keep my phone on airplane mode, use Ethernet connections for my computers and phone. I am one of the fortunate ones who figured out where my radio-frequency illness symptoms were coming from so I could protect myself and start to heal. There are so many others who are suffering needlessly from the impacts of constant exposure to man-made EMFs without knowledge of what is causing some of their health issues. Please start educating the public on a large scale so people can start to make choices on how they can make informed decisions on how to protect themselves and their loved ones in their homes, and how they use their wireless devices on a daily basis. Please create industry wide regulations to help reduce the amount of wireless devices and create hardwired equivalents to give their consumers a choice in reducing wireless exposures.

Hello. I am a mother. Grandmother. Wife of 51 years. EMF affect my life. Bad for me and my husband. Ears ring. Nauseous. Ache in joints. Please investigate and control limits. Thank you.

RE: HHS-OASH-2026-0397 Technical Recommendations for Electromagnetic Exposure Research, Mathematical Verification, and Research Accountability Submitted by: William Bass Founder, Rhodium Pay LLC Proliferate Change Technologies (PCT) QUESTION 2 — RESPONDENT PERSPECTIVE I am responding as a business founder and independent technology researcher. Through Proliferate Change Technologies, I am pursuing research involving electromagnetic physics, mathematical modeling, computational verification, and evidence-based information systems. My recommendations concern research methodology and institutional accountability. They do not represent completed biomedical studies or validated findings of adverse health effects. QUESTION 5(p) — EXPOSURE CLASSIFICATION I recommend evaluating standardized, multidimensional classification methods incorporating frequency, field strength, power density, modulation, exposure duration, distance, and simultaneous exposure sources. These classifications should distinguish direct measurements from modeled estimates and should account for uncertainty and measurement limitations. QUESTION 8 — EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT I recommend improving real-world electromagnetic exposure assessments through reproducible mathematical models, calibrated measurement systems, and independently verifiable results. Maxwell's equations provide an established mathematical foundation for modeling electromagnetic fields. Computational predictions should be evaluated against physical measurements before being relied upon for exposure assessment. QUESTION 16 — RESEARCH PRIORITIES I recommend prioritizing: 1. Standardized measurement and verification methods. 2. Real-world exposure conditions involving multiple sources. 3. Uncertainty quantification and model validation. 4. Reproducible datasets and independent scientific review. 5. Clear separation between physical exposure measurements, biological observations, correlations, and established causal findings. QUESTION 17 — FEDERAL RESEARCH COORDINATION Federal agencies could benefit from interoperable research systems that maintain traceable evidence, documented methodologies, controlled information sharing, and auditable research decisions. My ongoing PHRON and Opraxicore technology initiatives explore architectures for systematic information analysis, verification, and operational accountability. These architectures are under development and have not been independently validated for RF exposure research. RECOMMENDATION I encourage HHS to explore a coordinated, evidence-based research framework that allows participating institutions to compare findings, identify contradictions, preserve research provenance, and independently reproduce technical results. I welcome opportunities for technical discussion and independent evaluation of potentially relevant mathematical and computational approaches. Respectfully, William Bass Founder, Rhodium Pay LLC Proliferate Change Technologies (PCT)

I’ve been getting migraines since the roll out of 5G. There’s not been any regulation of it since the 1990’s and it’s time to test how much damage it’s donemuch were affected by it. It causes me to have heart palpitations, anxious feeling, headaches and overall feeling off. Please regulate this

I, Julie S. Calderwood, reside in Huntsville, Alabama. I did not consent, nor do I consent today, to the continuous, involuntary exposure to biologically active radio frequency (RF) radiation. In 2019 I became injured by radio frequency radiation emitting from two cell towers erected near my home where I frequently drive and additionally from bluetooth frequencies in a newly purchased car. I sold the car soon after discovering the cause of my injury. I now have Electro Magnetic Radiation Syndrome - a condition linked to exposure to RF and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. These harmful frequencies cause me to have headaches and brain fog which only subside with time, lasting 6-9 hours. The RF radiation from cell phones also effect and cause me headaches. Therefore, I greatly limit my time being around people. These non-native frequencies have effected me greatly and continues to limit my driving, my activities, sociality with family and friends, as well as being in public places and attending public events. My husband and I keep our cell phones on airplane mode except when sending or checking necessary texts. We have a landline phone and use a corded phone. Our household devices, such as computer, router, etc. are hardwired with ethernet cables and the wifi is turned off. With these measures the radiation level in our home is below 100 micro-watts per meter squared. When rebooting my computer, I have to make certain that the bluetooth has not been inadvertently turned back on, since this causes me headaches as well. In 2025, we worked with a group of concerned citizens to help educate our city council and utilities executives about the harms of smart meters and the devastating effects they would have on my condition and our daughter’s neurological disease if they were attached to our houses. EMR Syndrome is real! I know it because I experience it. The following scientific articles, among many others, confirm the existence of this syndrome and delineate some of the mechanisms by which it occurs: Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS, microwave syndrome) – Review of mechanisms Stein MD, et al., Environmental Research, July 2020, Vol. 186. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0013935120303388?via%3Dihub, Wireless technology is an environmental stressor requiring new understanding and approaches in health care. McCredden, et al. Frontiers in Public Health, Vol 10 Dec 2022 https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/public-health/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2022.986315/full The radiation limits must be lowered to protect our children or the consequences could be drastic, as noted in the following article: Why children absorb more microwave radiation than adults: The consequences, by L. Morgan, et al in ScienceDirect Dec. 2014. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213879X14000583 We don’t want cell towers on, above, or near our grandchildren’s schools. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. October 29, 2026 Julie S. Calderwood

To whom it may concern, I am writing this to express my concern on how this "new" tech is affecting ourselves, our children, the environment and the overall health of all involved. I personally am sensitive to EMF exposure and have and continue to suffer with various symptoms. I should be able to go to concerts etc. without suffering from this tech. It should also NOT be at schools. We need to protect our children. Clearly, hard wired connections work and can be used instead. There is plenty of proof that this tech is harmful and we know the regulations are not in place or working. Please, make changes that will help protect the public. Thanks so much, Mrs. Gentry

Hello, Let me start by saying that I am deeply concerned and flummoxed by the fact that the FCC has still not produced 1 single study on the deleterious effects on human and animal organisms re: EM/EMR from cell towers and Smart Meters, despite being told by congress 1-2 years ago, they must produce a study on the effects of EMF/EMR within one year!! How is it possible that this human harm continues to be sidestepped and swept under the rug? When 4G hit the market I was aware of the potential effects from EMF/EMR for "certain people" but I did not understand the cumulative effect which we now know, thanks to many global researchers on this topic, that ALL people and animals/insects are affected. Let me share some personal experiences. I was rushed to the ER after waking with a life-threatening heart arrhythmia (which occurred just days after a family member moved our router from 40 ft away from my bedroom to right next to my bed unbeknownst to me). I spent 3 days in the Critical Care Unit, with no history of this diagnosis and no other concomitant diagnosis that would explain this event or be considered a contributing factor. As a Registered Nurse of 29 years, I observed in the ER for more than 12 hrs, around 10 other patients wheeled right past my curtained room, listening to the EMT’s give the same diagnosis and history as mine for all these patients. They too were wondering what was going on. Then I recalled that I had heard that the 5G rollout in our area was due this month and silently wondered if there could be any connection. This was not a statistically insignificant observation, by any one's standards. Six years later, my life threatening arrhythmia returned within 24hrs of being in a new apartment. I took out my $400.00 EMF meter and saw that the level in the bedroom was 52X higher than the safe limits for humans, based on the building biologists.I sought counsel from MA For Safe Technology regarding mitigation steps and that was when I realized a new 5G Cell tower was literally only 0.3 miles from my apartment building. I followed their recommendations, and was never able to sleep in my bed or be in that bedroom due to the symptoms of arrhythmia, dizziness, fatigue and weakness that I began feeling, while living there. I slept on my cough for the entire 2 years. Then I began noticing that while standing in the lobby, within minutes I would begin to sweat profusely and begin to get very dizzy, enough that I had to return to my apartment. It wasn't until a few months later, that I realized that I was always standing under a Verizon ceiling router. Then over the course of several months, I started to hear that dogs on our floor were dying suddenly. In one year, on our 10 apartment floor, we lost 4 dogs and one cat.They were as young as 2 years old, with no prior medical history. My senior dog, with no prior history of cardiac issues,1 year into our stay there went into acute respiratory and cardiac arrest out of the blue, who I was able to bring back with CPR and then who was tragically was diagnosed with a malignant skin cancer and was gone 4 mos later. Four months after her passing, my other pup, her litter mate, who was incredibly healthy, also died within 6 weeks from different type of cancer, and then 4 mos after that, our perfectly healthy kitty succumbed from cancer. Three different types of cancers, for 3 different animals-who all died 4 mos apart. This brought the total to 5 family pet deaths on one floor and while there were pet deaths on the floor above us. My final comment is in regard to my ability to access well visit health care safely-which is absurd to even say, as I am a career Registered Nurse of 29 years. I went recently to see two providers that I have been seeing for 30 and 16 years respectively, in the same hospital. I had not been to see them in the last 5 years however and noticed as I immediately began to feel dizzy and chest discomfort within a few minutes of being in the hospitalk when I noticed that ceiling routers were placed no more than 4 ft apart down every hallway I walked through, and several in each doctor's office. I tried to put the maximum physical distance between myself and the visible routers but was unsuccessful, for the longer I am exposed to this radiation, the more progressive my symptoms become and true to form, after 1.5 hours, I went into my life threatening arrhythmia at my first appointment. PLEASE…STOP AND PAUSE and give this topic the due diligence it deserves because whether you see it now or later in your own family or friends, this RADIATION is effecting everyone even if YOU! If you are not taking action against this, then you are being complicit with this harmful technology to all of earth's inhabitants and to all of your future generations. cccc

You're failure to regulate telecom companies, utilities, and corporations is RUINING peoples lives. Universities, schools and hospitals, cities and planners are building cell sites and high voltage power lines next to some of the most sensitive populations and you are showing COMPLETE disregard for human life by not giving those of us with health issues the freedom to navigate our daily lives without encountering these toxic exposures. Your inaction allowed a private University to poison me for years and then place me in housing to "recover" that was directly below a tower. I lost my finances, my health, my job, my ability to be part of my children's life when they needed me most, and was ultimately sued by their religious cult when I attempted to recover what they took. For YEARS, I couldn't enter public spaces without experiencing severe symptoms. I'm BEYOND livid that the government cares more about big business and profit than about people and our planet. YOU WORK FOR US! WE HIRED YOU. You are corrupt and have nothing if you have a few extra billions and cannot live to spend it because you have blanketed us in toxins - mold, emfs, chemicals in food, water, housing, clothes. REGULATE and force companies to be responsible and ethical! There should be a right to opt out of smart meters, small cells sites. Building codes should REQUIRE circuit switches for all sleep spaces and maintain hardwired connectivities for network. Telephone companies have pulled their copper lines. The infrastructure is GONE. Now, as a professionally trained building scientist and environmental consultant, I advocate for others as a means to recover from the trauma I endured. I measure EMFs and the levels are unregulated. I measured a high voltage line over Alemany High School football field in southern california with staggering readings. The industrial revolution requires zoning enforcement. Maintain the separations and REGULATE to force companies to be ethical and put people and planet first.

LED lights used for interior and exterior lighting in homes and stores are too bright and too blue. This intense light is unpleasant and additionally disrupts sleep. LED lights in vehicle headlights, blinker lights, reverse lights, fog lights and brake lights are too bright and too blue. We should have national standards like those advocated by the DarkSky organzation that keeps light intensity low and prevents light pollution and keeps light a nice warm color temperature. Thanks you. Chris Tucker, 5611 17th Ave NW D6, Seattle, WA.
