ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I know my smart meters affect our health cause we all have symptoms in my family where as we di not have that before. migraines , body aches, nausea and , many others. I have an analog but I am threatened with legal action if I sare put on. what a great country and world we live on that we dont have choices for our health. If legal action is the tool then I know I am correct. Love the global control and harm to us

Requests protective tower siting, long-term human and ecological studies and updates to the Telecommunica…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I strongly believe communities should not be subjected to unnecessary or escalating levels of RF emissions. In many neighborhoods, companies begin with a single antenna and later add many more, creating dense clusters that increase exposure for families, children, older adults, wildlife, and the environment. This pattern places a growing burden on communities while generating profit for carriers, not benefits for residents. I want to be clear that I am not opposed to technology. I support safe technology that is responsibly sited in locations away from homes, schools, wildlife corridors, and sensitive ecosystems. I am certain there are suitable sites that do not place antennas directly next to residents or wildlife habitat. Older neighborhoods with mature trees, established wildlife pathways, and long‑standing rural character should not be subjected to cumulative exposure simply because they lack HOA protections or dense development. Trees, birds, pollinators, and other wildlife are increasingly exposed to dense antenna installations, and these impacts deserve serious federal attention. Communities need national guidelines that ensure wireless infrastructure is placed where it does not harm people, wildlife, or the environment. For these reasons, I respectfully request a deep federal study of RF exposure impacts, including long‑term effects on human health, wildlife, and ecosystems. I also recommend that Congress consider updating the Telecommunications Act of 1996 so that health, environmental, and wildlife concerns can be openly evaluated in modern wireless policy. The current law prevents communities from raising health concerns when opposing towers, even when those concerns are legitimate. Technology has changed dramatically since 1996, and federal policy should reflect today’s scientific knowledge and today’s environmental realities. Communities deserve transparency, protection, and guidelines that prioritize public health and environmental stewardship over profit.

Raises concerns about towers near homes and schools and continuous household exposure, requests independe…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have a deep concern about all the towers going up, close to homes and schools. We have no idea the long term affects all the EMFs are causing because they put them up without ever doing long- term studies. However, we do know that children exposed to the high frequencies have gotten sick from headaches to cancers. We know that high exposure to EMFs causes a lifetime of chronic illness, many problems we don’t even know about yet. Cell phones, towers, smart meters…all have so many potential deadly outcomes. I make sure our family is as protected as we can be, with paying attention to WiFi and placement of routers and our ways to mitigate. But it feels like a battle I will never win when we are bombarded 24 hours a day. Please put the brakes on EMFs and do some quality studies, not by companies who benefit.

Attributes a teacher’s disability to classroom wireless exposure, describes home confinement and denial o…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My husband was disabled from wi-fi 2 years ago when his job (public teaching) put in so many wireless devices in his classroom that he his system was overwhelmed by the toxicity. He had to flee the city for 5 days as even basic electricity was making him extremely sick. These cases are well documented and there is NO doubt that it is Wi-fi and EMR that is causing this. He is now home bound and can only leave the house for a very short amount of time before the cell towers around town make him extremely sick. PLEASE, HHS, put restrictions on EMR exposure before this happens to more people. Make actual safety guidelines that companies, cities, neighborhoods, etc have to abide by to protect people from this harmful toxin. The federal government denied my husband's disability request because you people don't know this is a real condition yet. Please get informed! This condition is well documented! There is no excuse for remaining willfully ignorant.

Objects to proposed residential towers and corporate priority over residents, raises concerns for childre…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Please help us, Americans. We are exposed to what would be illegal levels of radiation, in Europe and other countries. Verizon wants to put "cell" (GWEN) towers,in residential places, among children,etc., and now Berizon is suing the city of Grass Valley, California. Corporations have been given priority over our people! Thank you. -Laura McClary

Reports skin irritation, headaches and sleep disruption around devices, raises questions about neurologic…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Submission to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Regarding: Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure I am submitting this comment to urge the Department of Health and Human Services to expand its review of safety thresholds regarding ambient electromagnetic fields (EMF) and radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure. As wireless networks expand, the public is increasingly exposed to cumulative radiation from consumer devices, cell towers, and commercial infrastructure. My primary concern centers on the need for thorough federal evaluation of how ambient radiation interacts with the human nervous system. Publicly available intellectual property, such as registered patents detailing nervous system manipulation via electromagnetic fields, alongside established military research into directed energy and neuro-technologies, demonstrates that the biological mechanisms for external influence on human physiology exist conceptually and technically. There is a critical need for transparent, civilian public health standards to investigate whether ambient commercial frequencies intersect with these neurological pathways, particularly regarding unintended cognitive or behavioral stress. In my own experience, I have noticed profound physical and behavioral disruptions that correlate with wireless environments. Keeping an active mobile device in close proximity to my body results in localized skin irritation, burning sensations, and rashes. Additionally, I experience persistent headaches and severe sleep disruptions. Ambient electromagnetic signals and visual emissions from household Wi-Fi routers and LED lighting indicators consistently degrade my rest; I experience a noticeable improvement in my sleep depth and cognitive clarity only when these devices are fully powered down or physically covered. Given the complexity of these interactions, I ask that HHS transcend standard thermal tissue heating models. The department should fund independent, transparent research into the neurological and psychological impacts of non-thermal RF exposure, investigate localized exposure risks, and establish clearer public guidelines. Thank you for your attention to these critical public health and regulatory concerns.

Calls for policy grounded in rigorous empirical research and independent systematic reviews and criticize…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this official comment regarding the Department's Request for Information (RFI) on electromagnetic fields, radiofrequency radiation, and wireless exposure.  The core function of federal health agencies should be to evaluate public health risks strictly through rigorous, empirical, and peer-reviewed scientific consensus. When setting policy or opening inquiries into complex technical domains like wireless radiation, the Department must rely on validated data compiled by actual career scientists, toxicologists, and epidemiologists—not on politicized agendas or fringe medical theories popularized by leadership. Allowing public comment portals to serve as a sounding board for unverified anecdotes, fear-mongering, and pseudoscientific ideas pushed by HHS leadership under Robert F. Kennedy Jr. undermines public trust in federal health institutions. Instead of crowdsourcing health evaluations through an open-door mechanism that risks amplifying conspiracy theories and "crackpot science," the agency should defer entirely to high-standard, independent systematic reviews conducted by recognized scientific bodies (such as the National Institutes of Health, the CDC, and established international health physics organizations). If HHS genuinely intends to evaluate exposure standards, it must anchor its framework in objective, methodologically sound scientific data rather than chasing unsubstantiated narratives. Public policy regarding public health and technology must be driven by verifiable evidence, not administrative panic.

Calls for protection from 5G and 6G, citing concerns about cancer, cognition and nervous-system effects a…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Please Protect us from the 5g and 6g emf exposure. The dangers are extreme and can cause flu like symptoms as well as cancers and harm to cognitive ability and nervous systems. The fact that they are placed on top of schools and churches and apartment buildings without knowing the full risk is insane. None of this makes any sense. Please stop this.

An electrical engineer reports tinnitus after smart-meter replacement, discusses exposure measurements an…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am an electrical engineer specializing in electromagnetics and worked for many years for the Navy including researching the biological effects of electromagnetic fields on sailors due to equipment that emits high electromagnetic fields. I have also seen the results of high electromagnetic fields in my own environment at home measuring extremely high fields from my electric smart meter, Wi-Fi router and nearby cell towers With my meters. I have read through some of the 1000 studies or so that have been done on the biological effects of electromagnetic fields and have determined that they are not , for the most part, frequencies and power levels, that are compatible with human biology, and the field strengths are getting higher and higher. Ever since my analog electric meter on my home was replaced with a higher power Wi-Fi meter I experienced tinnitus ever since. And when I am close to a transmitter I always know because my ears ring louder. I have even gone to the point of using shielding paint to at least Shield my bedroom so that while my body is in a rest and digest and repair mode at night it is not being impacted by these electromagnetic fields affecting our electromagnetic bodies as our heart and brain and cells all run based on frequency and voltage that's why there are EKGs and EEG's to measure the electrical activity of our organs. Also every cell has a voltage gated calcium channel and Martin Pall and others have shown the delirious effects on these from electromagnetic fields at various Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G and 5G frequencies. Please fund real research that isn't biased or funded by the telecommunication companies and en act much stricter limits. We are definitely headed in the wrong direction with Ever increasing power levels. We do not use any wireless devices in our home and have our home hardwired and fiber optics could certainly be used more in place of wireless transmitters.

Requests full health-effects disclosure concerning a proposed high-voltage line near Virginia homes.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Please release all information on the health effects of EMFs on human health. Our home and a good portion of our neighbors across VA are threatened with an 856kV electric line. In some places it’s less than 100ft from homes. We are being sold that there are no issues to health, but we know that’s not true.
