The commenter reports neurological episodes at low RF levels despite wired connections and avoiding wirel…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have used ethernet cables for multiple years. I am not using cell phones or WiFi or any other RF-emitting devices at all and I explained that I still have what neurologists describe as Aura's, Abscences and Drop attacks at a tiny fraction of what WiFi Routers emit: only 3mW/m². I have to stay in an environment where power density is 1µW/m² or less to be symptom free. Todays limits said to be save by ICNIRP and other Organizations base on the 'heating effect'. There are countless of other health effects, I have explained one. Please agree that the limits are too high by a factor 200 or even (in my case 10 000 000). Reducing the RF-Power density to 100µW/m² must be the goal. Thank you.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
To whom it may concern, I am what is commonly referred to or self described as a "Targeted Individual," or "T.I." for short. Over the past two years of my life, I have been subject to directed energy weapons attacks, voice to skull telepathy, and tethered to a U.S. military / DIA / DoD USAP involving the cloning and tethering of human minds. As outlandish and absurd as this may sound to your office, I can assure you that I am of perfectly sound mind, and have no intentions of harming myself or others. I am not a violent person, nor intend on harming anyone. I have no connections to terrorist networks, and I do not consider myself a political extremist. I consider myself a victim of an intentional, multi-layered, massive government coverup regarding the extent of the 5G band wireless technology, of which to my knowledge many frequencies remain available and unlicensed on the band. As such, anyone with the tools and technological know how can operate equipment on parts of the 5G band, and use it to "target" or harass via RF/EMF/ELF waves individuals that they don't like. Additionally, the FCC's ruling that mere possession of a signal jamming device is a felony makes it impossible for law abiding citizens to protect themselves from technology far more advanced than they themselves realize. The FCC ruling that owning or possession and use of a signal jammer should be a felony is absurd. It should be eliminated. There is so much to my personal story, and admittedly, I am not writing this at my best. I did however, want to submit a public comment because I believe this cover-up and the people in military intelligence and other facets of the intelligence, police, and corporate entities involved in this TR&D campaign need to be arrested and face prison time for crimes against humanity. Arguably, what they have done to me and others constitutes treason. They should be held criminally liable. In my personal experience of having utilized 5G wireless technology (for the better part of one year), I suffered extreme bouts of mental fatigue, brain fog, and an inability to think or problem solve. The pain and sickness became so excruciating in August, that I had to manually go into my cellular devices settings and disable 5G functionality. Oddly enough, the moment I disabled the 5G antenna inside of my cellular device, the front and side parts of my brain felt like they had been released from a vice grip. Many former and current intelligence sector whistleblowers have made monumental efforts to come forward and expose the extent to which the DIA, the CIA, the DoD, NSA and top U.S. military intelligence offices and squadrons have actively covered up and even killed the non-consensual test subjects in these weapons programs. For example, Barry Trower, a former MI6 radio frequency weapons expert has been trying to get the U.K. governments high courts to hear his personal testimonies concerning these technologies. Mr. Trower explicitly states in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJVY9Q7q3Ks) that "5G is a weapon system." Dr. Katherine Horton, a molecular biologist who has been rigorously dedicated to the cause of exposing the extent of this intentional genocide and TR&D scheme talks about 5G in this video from 2016: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rnf5vTNJuyA). Here is Dr. Horton with former NSA intelligence analyst Bill Binney, a video from a few years ago: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COJi50XXvbo). Karen Stewart, another former NSA analyst, alleges in this video that the DHS / FBI fusion centers are where the majority of the physical surveillance tactics are coordinated between military and police agencies: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFXswDgspwk) Ms. Stewart mentions "directed energy weapons" around the 10:00 mark. 5G is not to be underestimated in this mass control grid. Here is another whistleblower, a man by the name of Bryan Kofron, who alleged back in 2014 that the USFG, specifically the military and the intelligence services already had access to mind control weapons technology, and were using a combination of satellites, cellular tower arrays, and lesser known means of accessing the human mind such as EEG heterodyning to surveil and monitor American citizens. Kofron initially used an alias, "Justin Carter." He makes several accusations, and he attempted several times to get answers from the FBI and other agencies: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcDBS2HE-70). I take no pleasure in reaching out this way, but if they're going to kill me (and eventually they will), then at the very least, I need to get the word out so that others may live and fight to stop it. I voted for this presidential administration reluctantly, but in the hopes that President Trump would follow through on his populist agenda and "drain the swamp." The rapid installation of 5G cellular towers and lack of public input leads me to believe this is a corporate / state cover-up. Please investigate. Thanks.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Not a scientist and don't have any studies to tout, but as an opinion of a health-conscious American woman, I take precautions against extra EMF, RF and wireless radiation. We chose our house location because it is not located by a cell tower, we chose a manual electric meter instead of wireless, we have hardwired our home for wireless Internet and so on. I think with time and money, future studies will show these frequencies do more harm than good. I also think aesthetically, cell towers are polluting our beautiful landscape-there has to be another way to regulate towers and to transmit service. Thank you.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am an informed citizen and parent. I request that federal agencies dramatically lower current exposure limits, adopt a rigorous and enforceable precautionary principle, and fund long-term independent research. Current limits are dangerously outdated and ignore exponential exposure growth. FCC/ICNIRP limits were set in the 1990s based on a single acute thermal model, for a world with a handful of cell towers and no Wi-Fi, no smart meters, no small cells, no 5G. That world no longer exists. The ambient RF environment has not merely grown -- it has multiplied. RF levels in Los Angeles were found to be 70 times higher than the EPA's own estimate from four decades earlier. Small cell deployment alone increases downlink RF emissions by a factor of 7 to 46. Bandara & Carpenter (Lancet Planetary Health, 2018) documented "planetary electromagnetic pollution" -- an unprecedented, compounding increase, with 68% of 2,266 reviewed studies showing significant biological effects. 5G densification makes this worse: millimeter waves require an order-of-magnitude increase in antenna density, placing transmitters at street level, in front of homes, schools, and hospitals. The public is being subjected to a massive, unconsented experiment in cumulative RF exposure, and the regulatory framework has not been updated. ICBE-EMF, Environ Health 21:92 (2022): current limits are based on invalid assumptions. Melnick et al., Environ Health (2026): applying EPA's own methodology, limits are at least 200x too high for cancer risk and 8-24x too high for male reproductive toxicity. The precautionary principle must be applied -- not merely acknowledged. The precautionary principle is codified in the Rio Declaration (Principle 15), the EU Treaty (Art. 191), and the Convention on Biological Diversity. Where there are threats of serious harm, lack of full scientific certainty shall not be used to postpone preventive measures. In the U.S., it has been systematically ignored in RF policy. FCC limits are set at the level of thermal injury -- the highest measurable effect -- rather than at a level that protects against non-thermal, chronic, or cumulative effects. This is a permissive threshold, not a protective one. I call on HHS to: Formally adopt the precautionary principle and ALARA standard in all RF policy; Establish interim precautionary limits at least 10-100x below current values for homes, schools, hospitals, nurseries (consistent with Council of Europe Resolution 1815/2011, which recommends 0.2 V/m -- roughly 1/100th of the current U.S. limit); Prohibit RF transmitters within 300m of schools and hospitals until long-term safety is demonstrated; Mandate transparent public disclosure of RF parameters near residential areas. Inaction is not a neutral position. When a population faces a compounding, invisible, inescapable increase in a physical agent, the only ethical course is to reduce exposure now, while research proceeds. Biological effects below current limits are well documented. IARC/WHO (2013): RF classified "possibly carcinogenic" (Group 2B). NTP (2018): "Clear evidence" of malignant cardiac schwannomas in male rats; "some evidence" for gliomas. Lai & Levitt, Rev Environ Health 39(3) (2024): oxidative stress, DNA damage, blood-brain barrier disruption below FCC limits. Bandara & Carpenter (2018): 68% of 2,266 studies showed significant biological effects. Sensitive populations require stricter protection. Children, fetuses, the elderly, and workers must be evaluated separately. Developing tissues are more vulnerable, no cradle-to-grave studies exist. The precautionary principle demands the highest protection for those who cannot consent. Cumulative exposure is unaddressed. Current limits treat each source in isolation. In reality, a resident is simultaneously exposed to multiple towers, small cells, Wi-Fi, smart meters, and 5G infrastructure. HHS must evaluate cumulative, neighborhood-level exposure. Recommendations: (a) Fund a long-term independent federal research program with prenatal/pediatric cohorts, reproductive endpoints, blinded pathology, open data; (b) Issue immediate interim guidelines (wired connections in schools, RF-off zones in bedrooms); (c) Require transparent consumer and school disclosure of RF parameters; (d) Establish a precautionary review mechanism that automatically tightens limits when new evidence of harm emerges. The ambient RF environment has increased by orders of magnitude and will increase further with 5G/6G. Current limits were set for a world that no longer exists. The precautionary principle demands we reduce exposure now, while we learn. The burden of proof belongs to the technology, not to the public.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I support HHS's efforts to investigate electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure, including radiofrequency radiation from 5G networks, cell towers, Wi-Fi, and other wireless technologies. However, I am deeply concerned that these technologies have been deployed on such a massive scale without sufficient long-term, independent research demonstrating their safety under real-world conditions. The American public should not be expected to accept widespread, involuntary exposure to these technologies and simply trust that they are safe. The burden of demonstrating safety should fall on the manufacturers, telecommunications companies, and regulatory agencies—not on the public to prove harm after exposure has already occurred. I have several serious questions that deserve transparent, evidence-based answers: What is a safe level of EMF exposure? How were current exposure limits established, and do they adequately account for cumulative exposure over years or decades? How much radiation do 5G towers and other wireless transmitters actually emit? What are the exposure levels in surrounding homes, schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods? Are these levels independently measured and made publicly available? What are the potential long-term health consequences of frequent, close-range exposure? Have we adequately investigated possible effects on neurological function, sleep, reproductive health, cellular processes, and cancer risk? What about children? Children are exposed to wireless technologies from increasingly young ages, including throughout the school day. What independent, long-term studies establish appropriate exposure limits for developing brains and bodies? How is cumulative exposure evaluated? People are surrounded by multiple sources of RF/EMF exposure simultaneously, including cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, smart appliances, and nearby telecommunications infrastructure. Are current safety standards adequately accounting for these combined exposures? Who is conducting the safety research? How much of the available research is independently funded, and how are financial conflicts of interest identified and addressed? Why are technologies permitted to become so widespread before their potential long-term health effects are fully understood? We have seen too many instances in which public health concerns were dismissed or inadequately investigated until years after exposure occurred. I also question whether the public is receiving sufficient information about other technologies involving radiation or electromagnetic exposure, including airport security screening systems. These technologies should be evaluated according to their specific emissions, exposure levels, and potential health effects, with the findings readily accessible to the public. I urge HHS to take the following actions: Commission comprehensive, independent, long-term studies on RF/EMF exposure, including 5G and newer wireless technologies. Reevaluate existing exposure standards, particularly for children, pregnant women, and individuals experiencing continuous exposure. Require greater transparency regarding emissions from telecommunications towers and wireless infrastructure. Investigate the potential effects of chronic, cumulative exposure from multiple devices and sources. Make independent safety research, exposure measurements, and regulatory decision-making publicly accessible. Apply the precautionary principle by considering restrictions or pauses on additional deployments where significant safety questions remain unresolved. I believe the expansion of technologies with unresolved long-term safety questions should be halted until adequate independent safety evaluations have been completed. Public health must take priority over corporate profits, technological convenience, and the speed of infrastructure deployment. The absence of conclusive evidence of harm is not the same as proof of safety. The American people deserve more than reassurances. We deserve transparency, accountability, rigorous independent research, and clear answers about what constitutes safe exposure. I appreciate HHS opening this issue for public comment, but I strongly urge the Department to go beyond collecting information. Meaningful investigation, public disclosure, and appropriate protective action must follow. Our health, and especially the health of our children, should never be treated as an afterthought.

Hello! I am responding from the perspective of a concerned individual. I appreciate the opportunity to voice my concerns and position on the subject of Electromagnetic Radiation. Although it's difficult to determine (definitively) the health effects caused by an INVISIBLE danger such as RF Radiation, I non-the-less felt compelled to voice my concerns. The ccc I am responding from the perspective of a concerned individual. I appreciate the opportunity to voice my concerns and position of the subject of RF Radiation. Although it's difficult to determine the health effects caused by an invisible danger such as Radiofrenqency Radiation, I non-the-less felt compelled to voice my concerns. The FCC and Telecom companies are seemingly out of control! They are putting up broadband lines, cell antennas and cell towers, smart meters, satellites and Data Centers wherever and whenever they want with little or no input from citizens... the proliferations is staggering! The public seems to have no protection, no local control or authority over these dangerous and risky practices. All of this continues to be rolled out at record speed and we the public aren't being informed of any sort of reviews or deployment with any of this; it's everywhere! Citizens deserve to have a vote in this very serious matter. The FCC (a Captured Agency) and the Telecom Industry have too much power and authority and need to be better regulated. I don't think the health of citizens is a priority for them; money, as usual is the incentive. I think it is imperative to have updated and thorough analyses pertaining to and including safety, exposure limits and human and environmental health impacts. Thank you for providing the opportunity to voice our concerns.

I am responding as an individual Consumer, with an autoimmune disease, ongoing organ system(s) damage, that includes, but is not limited to nervous system damage. My background is "turnaround" Private Sector HC Operations - many patient groups/LOC's - multiple States. Followed by decades in Government, including but not limited to spanning two decades as an HHS Mandated Federal Position, required to exist in a State System, and identified issues with the Federal, State, to County - Local, etc., (i.e. "ALL sides"), on many topics regarding HHS activities - all levels of Govt. My types were charged to analyze, identify, state the facts & implement the Law and that included, but was not limited to defending them in litigation matters - WITH NO ERRORS ALLOWED due to potential "political fallout." Via at the time, a beyond corrupt Judicial System, spanning two centuries, not only regarding Health Care Company Defendants & but also due to chosen behavior & actions of their Counsel & Political & Special Interests "friends and supporters." Additionally, unfortunately, this ALSO, meant dealing with Corrupt Federal, State & County Politicians & their funders/controllers & handlers, Staff, DOJ, OIG, Judges, Hearing Officers, etc., including but NOT limited to DOJ Lawyers supposed to be representing my types as Government Counsel, whom at times were just as corrupt, if not more, as opposing Counsel - representing HC (Private & Government) Companies in legal matters, including as newly hired Defendant(s) Counsel, actually being recently former DOJ Attorneys, who were now making the big bucks, by selling out to be Counsel for Companies, via Law Firms, they were previously charged with, doing their job via the Law for Tax Payers and Patients as former Lawyers of DOJ - where many times they did NOT do their jobs based on facts, proven & indisputable, due to "politics." Additionally, as a Consumer, I've researched studies that have been ongoing for years, and at times, Legislative and Judiciary matters - pertaining to technologies implemented on ALL Americans, with little to no oversight, then bureaucracy regarding Special Interests for profit/influence/control, negatively affecting Federal, State & Local Governments, via Politicians & Politically Appointed Mgmt. being controlled by Special Interests, Foreign & Domestic influencers & Corporate Structure - including but not limited to hidden partnerships, via LLC's, Offshores, Sub's, Ownership Percentages, etc., especially in the business environment, and how Legislative and Regulatory have been severely affected, against the Health of ALL Americans, spanning many decades over two centuries. This includes but is NOT limited to Contractors, and their products - many not proven & then found to have "risks" in many matters and do not work or have bad consequences for utilizing, not just Health Care, but business & tech products that utilize the Government Process, to make money, off the backs of the Tax Payers, and as Consumers, to the Judicial & Regulatory Issues, NOT being implemented, stopped, delayed, etc. Due to "politics," not only wasting Tax Payer dollars, but also negatively affecting the health of Americans. All for profit, control and greed. Which is my main point in this Comment. Thus, when we implement technologies, or allow them to be implemented on Consumers, many times, for a variety of reasons, as stated above and scientific unknowns with new & then expanding technologies, the data is NOT there. Then, many years or decades later in some circumstances, the data is there proving these business & tech products are negatively affecting the health of people, then more politics are then applied, after civilian health carnage, spanning decades, and then the Judiciary, including but NOT limited to the US Supreme Court, allow the carnage to continue. One example, via ROUND UP via Monsanto - a former passed Grandfather of mine was a Chemical Engineer & Plant Manager for Monsanto, & whistleblower who warned me, in the LAST century about issues with new technologies & formulae's & materials that made products, actually NOT being safe - but allowed to continue, due to control, greed and politics. Technology & science implemented to develop ROUND UP & other chemicals, that were "deemed safe" at the beginning, but are not. My Public Comment, is to SUPPORT the following studies, that I will be providing a summarizing link below, involving many individuals and groups, deriving evidence, over time of how EMPs, Radiation & Wireless Radiation Exposure, & Technologies are affecting Consumers. Giving the Federal Government Data, to review, investigate, & implement change. The below link, via "GreenMedinfo" is a comprehensive Research Overview - Comprising Data via 1,009 abstracts, 156 Diseases and 20 Articles. https://greenmedinfo.com/problematic-action/electromagnetic-field-harms?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Thank you.

Please don't make public health policy based on input from random people from the internet. I am not a doctor, a physicist, or a researcher in a relevant topic. My opinion or conspiracy theories shouldn't sway policy--only tell you how much of a gap there is between proven safe use of low-frequency light vs public perception.
