I offer this scientific paper provided by Dr. Martin Pall, PhD in 2019 titled; "5G Risk: The Scientific Perspective". Other than the scientific degradation of the human organism, the addictive physiological effects of screen addiction would compel a review of prohibiting this technology being provided to minors, especially males under 25 years of age before their brains are fully developed.
In this exploratory study by Sally Fallon Morell (2015), ten human subjects were exposed to a cell phone radiation stressor. Their blood was examined under a dark-field microscope to look for changes, if any, from the cell phone microwave frequency. This study shows a consistent condition in ten test subjects of red blood cells going into rouleaux condition of clumping when exposed to 45 minutes of an energized phone carried in a back pack. When the test subjects were instructed to hold the phone in front of them for 45 minutes with two 5 minutes calls with the cell phone next to their ear, their red blood cells exhibited significant deterioration of the cell walls and nucleous. Clearly, this type of cellular deterioration is detrimental to a persons health. Many of us aware of this have requested warning notices to be affixed to all phones that advise the users of these possible neggative health effects
I bought a Rivian, an electric car in 2023. I drove it from Austin Texas to my home in Baytown, Texas. On the way home about an hour into the drive, I began to feel ill, like I was getting the flu. We had to stop to get charged about an hour from our home because the charge was not enough to go the entire distance even though on leaving it said it would be enough. As I sat in the car while it charged, I thought about how many people refused to live under power lines due to potential health problems and yet I was sitting directly in a vehicle with voltage flowing into it. In addition, there were 4 quad motors and a huge screen in the car. After making it home, I continued to feel ill. In addition to the flu like symptoms, my legs felt weak after getting out. After sleeping, the next morning, I felt better. I returned to my new car to show it off to be surprised by the sick feeling again. My daughter in law noticed that while driving and talking the pitch of our voices changed. I began feeling a subtle energy push against me while the car was moving. It wasn’t until I gave my dad who has a pacemaker defibrillator in, a ride I realized I had him in the biggest microwave ever. I ordered an EMF unit to determine the risk the car was posing to me and my fiance. Much to my dismay, the meter redlined out every measured frequency especially the EMF. It was redlined even when the car was off but in charge. I stopped driving the car and felt better for 5 days. On the 5th day, we drove the car to a dealership to trade it in. On the drive both myself and my Fiance felt the same symptoms and voiced them at the same time without previously discussing them in depth. We knew and could feel the negative effects it was having on our bodies. We traded the car in and took a $20,000.00 hit to get out of it. The cumulative effect of the EMF on our health was palpable and recorded. There should be warnings and longitudinal studies about cumulative effects of EMF for consumers.
I am submitting this comment as a consumer concerned about long-term exposure to wireless radiation from phones, Wi-Fi routers, cell towers, and other connected devices.
I urge HHS to conduct a thorough, independent review of whether current exposure limits adequately protect public health. This review needs to consider those most heavily exposed and should examine potential effects beyond tissue heating, including evidence concerning cancer, reproductive health, and children’s development.
Please prioritize research that reflects how people actually encounter wireless radiation: repeated exposure over many years, often from multiple sources and devices used close to the body. Assessments should consider signal strength, pulse patterns, duration, and combined exposure.
Please consider Melnick and Moskowitz’s 2026 analysis of animal data, which argues that existing exposure limits may inadequately protect against cancer and reproductive harm (https://doi.org/10.1186/s12940-026-01288-6). I also ask HHS to evaluate Lai and Levitt’s review of exposure intensity, duration, and signal modulation (https://doi.org/10.1080/15368378.2022.2065683), and Scarato’s review of US regulatory gaps and proposed reforms (https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2025.1677583). These papers warrant careful consideration alongside the broader evidence, including studies that have not found adverse effects.
I ask HHS to:
•Assess whether additional protections are needed for children, pregnant women, and other potentially vulnerable groups.
•Support long-term research with safeguards against industry conflicts of interest.
•Provide clear information about exposure and practical ways to reduce it, including wired alternatives in homes and schools.
•Recommend updated standards wherever the evidence shows that existing limits are insufficient.
Consumers should not have to navigate these questions alone. Please use this inquiry to advance transparent science, meaningful oversight, and public health protection.
I entered into a lease agreement to have a 5G tower built very near my home. My neighbors objected citing health concerns. I felt at the time they were probably jealous that they didn't get the lease on their farms.Fast forward 10 years and the utility company is proposing a massive 765kv/161kv powerline to be built in front of my home. I have researched myself the safety issues this would cause to my family. No precedent has been set or law made to restrict either of those to my home. But I do know that being sandwiched between the two would be dangerous. I know my circumstance is unique but in this country how could there not be setbacks from dwellings.
From 2019 to 2023, I lived in a 3rd story apartment where I was unkowingly exposed to high chronic levels of emf.
My husband and I moved there in 2019. Later that year, I started having inexplicable exhaustion, inflammation and body aches which have been worsening progressively while living there, despite me getting various therapies and lifestyle and dietary improvements. We also had unexplained infertility.
In 2022, I decided to get an EMF meter. My husband and I were surprised to measure very high levels of radiation in specific zones that resembled 'beams' cutting through our apartment, even when our wifi was powered off. Certain locations in our living room where we worked from home, and the kitchen where we spend a lot of time cooking, were registering levels of radiation that were far above the normal threshold.
In 2023, my husband was walking home and noticed a discreetly hidden cell tower in the parking lot a couple blocks from our apartment. He noticed that the positioning of the tower correlated uncannily to the angle of the beams in our apartment, entering from the side where we have a large glass patio balcony door. We think we have finally found the culprit for the ridiculous levels of emf we had been chronically exposed to, along with many other residents who may be suffering unknowingly because of it.
At that time, I reached out to the city to ask who authorized the tower location and height, but received a response that they have very little regulatory control over it.
I am so glad we are finally looking into this at a federal level. Can we better regulate the companies to require actual research proving the required clearances to avoid health effects? Can we also require ongoing monitoring since this is a new technology and start getting some longer term studies?
Though we had lived in that area for many years and enjoyed its quiet and safe community, this issue has been so harmful to our health and quality of life that we decided to move out because of it. In 2024, I received laproscopic diagnosis for stage 4 endometriosis and adenomyosis. Looking back, I wish I didn't live in that apartment, or knew earlier so I could have moved out.
Now I am living in a new place with a lot less EMF exposure. I do not get the chronic headaches or fatigue that I used to feel in that apartment. I am on the journey to recovering and feeling better.
For the health and wellbeing of all US residents and citizens, please scrutinize the health impacts of these cell towers on the surrounding community. The proper location and height of these towers is so critical to the health of so many that could be impacted.
I didn't have thyroid or other health problems until the local utility company put a 5G tower in my front yard in Denver, Colorado. It was pushed through without public comment or input during the pandemic. The sub and sub-sub contractors didn't have a permit to use a boring machine in my front yard. The door flyer left on my door had a phone number that went to nowhere. The whole thing was so fake. I hope municipalities and telecom companies are held liable for the damage they've done to people and animals alike.
50 years ago, when I worked as a broadcast engineer on a high-powered TV transmitter, I was aware that the risk of a brain tumor in my profession was double that of the population. Ever since, I've made efforts to avoid EMF. I use Ethernet for my computer and streaming box, even though WiFi would be more convenient. It is difficult to find wired products, as the presumption by manufacturers is that the public wants wireless. The FCC has been completely useless when it comes to protecting the public health. Its refusal to reopen the silly 1996 thermal standard for human EMF protection was a pure industry give-away.
There is a great deal of scientific evidence of the harms of EMF on living tissue. Dr. Martin Pall's discovery of the voltage-gated calcium channel was the first plausible mechanism presented for how biological damage occurs. Dr. Henry Lai at the University of Washington has done pathbreaking research. The Environmental Health Trust has been a leader in this field. I believe they will be submitting comments that I hereby support. Several aggregations of research:

Please focus literature reviews on studies completed by independent researchers. There is such a long history of industry-influenced studies in pharmaceuticals as well as in telecommunications that industry-sponsored research cannot be trusted.
Since those electromagnetic exposure fields affect all of us, it seems to me to be a quite important subject to evaluate.We cannot all be researchers in labs, so we must depend on those who are specialists, just like we are not all cops, members of our city council, and so on. We each have our own role in contributing to the well being of our society. So we depend on others for the parts that we personally cannot really take an active part in. I appeal to the officials who should be involved in studying this , EMF, RF, and wireless radiation exposure , to do their job, and take the actions necessary to protect the rest of us from harms.
