Exposure limits & oversight

Individual consumer / patient (age 59, Ashland City, Tennessee area) who has experienced symptoms associated with RF/EMF exposure from mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters, and 5G. I am 59 years old. My cognitive decline began when I was 55. Prior to that I was sharp, owned and ran a complex and successful business on Maui, and had no difficulty learning or retaining information. Since onset I have experienced extreme brain fog, a severely compromised ability to perform basic problem-solving, and an extremely limited short-term memory that has made me virtually unemployable—I can no longer learn and retain new things. I have had an MRI and cognitive performance testing; the results indicated early-onset Alzheimer’s. These symptoms have improved dramatically in the last two years only after intensive healing protocols. This was not the case prior to roughly 2021. I have always been highly sensitive to EMF frequencies and Wi-Fi, and I am especially sensitive to 5G. Enabling 5G on my phones quickly makes me feel sick, and I can notice when I am near a 5G tower. For this reason I always disable 5G. I used an iPhone 7 for many years and upgraded to an iPhone SE (3rd generation) in 2024. With both of these phones I could feel the radiation. The longer I held either device, the more severe the sensation became. Both caused strong aching in my hand and arm; after prolonged use this often progressed to tingling and/or numbness. The symptoms were noticeable during ordinary use and worsened with longer holding times. In 2026 I upgraded to an iPhone Air. I have noticed a significant improvement: much less of the radiation sensation and substantially reduced hand and arm pain when holding the phone. I still notice some effect, but it is markedly milder than with the older models. I never hold any phone to my ear and always use speakerphone. Published SAR values (U.S. FCC, averaged over 1 gram of tissue, cellular transmission) for these models are approximately: iPhone 7: Head ~1.11–1.19 W/kg, Body ~1.14–1.19 W/kg (varies by specific model) iPhone SE (3rd generation): Head 1.20 W/kg, Body 1.20 W/kg iPhone Air: Head 1.19 W/kg, Body 1.19 W/kg (cellular-only) Despite the similar official peak SAR numbers, my real-world experience of reduced sensation and pain with the Air has been consistent. This suggests that other design factors (antenna placement, power management, or everyday transmission behavior) may matter for sensitive individuals. My wife and I both use our phones many hours a day; her job requires extensive phone use. To reduce overnight exposure I keep my phone at least two to three feet from my body while sleeping and sometimes place it in Airplane mode. We live in an apartment building. Our Wi-Fi router is located in the closet in my wife’s bedroom because that is the only place the cable enters the unit. She rarely can sleep past about 2 a.m. She then remains awake—though exhausted—from roughly 2 a.m. until 5 or 6 a.m., after which she falls back asleep until her alarm only out of pure exhaustion. The amount of make-up sleep is woefully insufficient. This chronic sleep disruption has been extremely hard on her overall health and has resulted in permanent bags under her eyes. I am concerned that prolonged close proximity to the router may be contributing. I am also very affected by smart meters. A bank of approximately a dozen smart meters (one for each apartment) is mounted on the exterior wall immediately outside my bedroom. The only mitigating factor is a walk-in closet between my bedroom and that exterior wall; the added distance makes the exposure more tolerable, but it remains noticeable. Combined with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5G, and other sources, these create a continuous “soup” of RF/EMF exposure that warrants further study. I lived on Maui, Hawaii, through early 2020. Maui was one of the last counties in the U.S. to receive a commercial 5G upgrade, and 5G was not present there during the time I lived on the island. After relocating, my cognitive problems began around 2021–2022. Given my extreme sensitivity to EMF/RF, the timing of these symptoms relative to increased exposure after the move is concerning to me, even though I cannot prove a direct causal link. I am grateful that Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and HHS have opened this Request for Information to examine potential health effects of EMF and RF frequencies, including real-world experiences of sensitive individuals and cumulative exposures. Further research into device design differences, smart meters, residential Wi-Fi, and vulnerable populations is needed.

Remove all wireless radiation!!

First THANK YOU for providing a forum where this information may be shared publicly. While I am not an American citizen, I was fortunate enough to live in your country during the 90s as I was given an O Visa. After 9/11, I chose to come back to Canada as I could see the world was changing rapidly. Soon after my arrival home and in a new job, I was gifted a brand new Mac laptop computer. Going by the name, I would often have it sat on my lap. This is until my thighs began to ache so much that I could hardly stand it. Looking into it more deeply, I came across a local group called Citizens for Safe Technology. They had so much more information than what little I remembered reading about electromagnetic frequencies back in the 1970s. Could this be what was going on with my legs? Then on August 22, 2012, a smart meter was forced on me & my home despite explicit, written refusal to grant consent. There was a tense exchange on my property. This event served as the core piece of evidence when CFST officially filed a class-action lawsuit, using my name, the following summer in July 2013. This case was a symbol of the broader provincial resistance and while we failed to have the case certified, the case woke many people up. I still occasionally get unpleasant sensations in my hand while holding a cell phone but perhaps like the proverbial boiled frog, the aching legs while using a laptop, has subsided. My wish in sharing a bit of info here, is mainly to share the contact and educational info for C4ST at https://c4st.org/ As well as an excellent book offering a bit of history by Arthur Furstenberg https://ehtrust.org/invisible-rainbow-arthur-firstenberg-story-invention-use-electricity/ The court ruled a lack of evidence in our case, if we onlyt knew then what we know now. With all the information coming out thanks to Mr. Kennedy, I hope that things will finally shift to a more healthful planet. Thank you for listening and te best of luck

Wireless radiation has affected my life since they put in all the towers around my home sleep disruption hormone imbalance uncontrolled inflammation. We need to update the safety regulations from the FCC from 30 years ago to today's standards in 2026. We need to move all cell towers and their antennas away from people's homes off of water towers away from our hospitals and police and fire departments. Thousands of pages of facts on the dangers of this technology are being ignored and was told that this is a military weapon against our enemy which is going to be used against us the American people. 5G is killing our trees along with our insects and bees and along with our plants and vegetation. When is our government going to listen to We the People who never even had a chance to vote on whether we wanted cell towers in our area and now we don't even have the power to stop the data centers which are being put in even against public opposition I thought this constitution of ours says by the people with the people and for the people not by the big tech companies by the large corporations by the most extreme wealthiest individuals who are making decisions for us all. I sure hope that somebody in our government stands up against this evil and truly make America healthy again and not just talk about it.

As known and currently regulated to some degree by the f.c.c. on many appliances and expecaly radio transmission towers, EMF and RF radiation can be harmful to the human body in high doses and distances. Seeing as said exposure is already limited by the f.c.c. it is known and acknowledged that high exposure to radio frequency emissions can be extremely disruptive and unsafe for the population. Examples of this energy, though not the main culprit due to its relatively low frequency, can be referenced to the a.m. band antennas, where improper matenence and/or contact can cause severe election and/or death, in the same sense as any high level conductor such as power transmission lines due to the high conductiveity in such examples. With this being said and referencing these examples, the high disruption of the electronic field due to long range RF, EMF, and wireless radio/cell signal transmitters emissions can be and is currently able to be measured. Thus with there already being a measurable emission of this radiation within the visinity of the towers themselves(and at farther distances, thus how this technology works) it could easily be durived that the same effects of those in close proximity to these towers could be found in most places farther away but still within range of transmitters just in smaller doses. This goes for ALL transmitters, not just those previously listed. All of the combined devices that utilize RF technology that are used daily, though already listed and regulated by the f.c.c., create constant and heavy disruption in RF fields, which is documented to have negative overall effects of the health and well-being of the human body in a large variety of ways due to how this form of radiation interacts with specific biological processes. Negitivly impact the quality of lives of people whom are in constant contact with afformentiond transmitters.

Been in RADIOLOGY my whole life and have had radiation and DANGERS of ponded into my head since 1978! ALL RADIATION is DANGEROUS with short and long term exposure....These radiations are just as bad and DANGERIOUS ....I do not even own a cell phone because of this fact!....Children should not be exposed to these frequencies at all! The GOV NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THESE RADIATIONS AND RE-ADJUST EXPOSURE LIMITS AND TIMES/AMOUNTS FOR ALL HUMANS HERE IN AMERICA....THE FREQUENCIES NOW ARE MUCH LONGER IN DURATION AND TOTAL TIME EXPOSEURES ARE THRU THE ROOL...RUNNING WILD WITH NO REINING IN....NORMAL PEEPS ARE TOO IGNORANT TO KNOW....THESE FREQUENCIES/EXPOSURES ARE NO LONGER THE SAME FROM BACK IN THE 40- 50'S AND NEED REVAMPED ...PEOPLE HAVE THIER WIFI/PHONES ON ALL OF THE TIME...NEAR SENSATIVE TISSUES....AND CARE NOT....BECAUSE THERE ARE NO WARNINGS AND IF TEHRE ARE THE WARNINGS ARE VERY VAGUE AND IN TINY PRINT THAT NO ONE READS...DEFINETLY NEED REVAMPING OF THE RADIATION EXPOSURE/TIMES/STRENGTHS DONE! AGAIN RADIATION POUNDED...INTO ONE'S HEAD AND JUST WITH SHORT BURTS OF RADIATION WE WERE ALWAYS RADIATING WITH THE SLIGHEST TIME POSSIBLE/ACHIEVABLE....WITH ALL PATIENTS....TODAY..PEOPLE WALKING AROUND UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE...EVERY DAY! EVEN WITH NOT HAVING A CELL PHONE AND THAT IS BESIDE THE EXPOSURE TO SUN! EXPOSURES ARE CONSTANT AND THAT IS NOT GOOD!

This type of energy is known to be dangerous to many types of living tissue. The government agencies and nongovernment agencies involved know this. I would appreciate an area in which these SMART technologies are not applied. Not all people are sensitive to it. I happen to be one who can feel and hear these energies. Countries outside the U.S.A. outlaw certain levels, frequencies, and amplitudes of these energies. Non military applications should be regulated here in the U.S.A.

I appreciate your interest in the public’s opinion - especially since it is we the taxpayers who fund the FCC. Total transparency and nothing less. That is what the citizens of the United States deserve on ALL aspects of the government. * 5g and it’s affects? Cell towers are everywhere - to include on our water towers. What is it doing to our water? * EMF and the levels we are exposed to and the repercussions. *Chem trails are still going on. It’s raining iron oxide! *Replacing our perfectly good meters with smart meters? I don’t want more government intrusion I want less! Thank you.

Statement Regarding Wireless Radiation and Electromagnetic Fields I have lived in a small mountain community for many years, valuing its natural beauty and peaceful environment. Initially, I slept through the night and could work late hours in my office without unusual fatigue or headaches. My difficulties working in my office began after Wi-Fi was installed. After two to three hours, I would become tired, and by the end of the day I was often beyond exhausted, going home simply to sleep. Gradually, I reduced my time in the office to preserve my energy. Today, I can tolerate only about one hour there before needing to leave. This has significantly reduced my working hours and income and diminished my quality of life. Over the years, wireless infrastructure in my community has expanded considerably. Smart meters, Wi-Fi networks, cell towers and antennas, and surveillance cameras have become increasingly prevalent. I also experience sensations that I perceive as related to frequencies or electromagnetic activity, although I cannot objectively measure these sensations or establish their source. I have resorted to wearing specialized shielding hats and installing shielding curtains around windows, glass doors, and my bed in an effort to make my surroundings more tolerable. Looking back, I recall periods when the electromagnetic activity I perceived seemed to lessen, followed by periods when I became increasingly concerned about changes in my surroundings. I later read about maintenance and upgrades to HAARP that I understood might have increased its power. I cannot independently verify the timing or establish a connection between these developments and my experiences. I have friends who report being more affected than I am. Others appear less aware of specific sensations, yet I have noticed changes in their energy and well-being. I cannot establish the causes of these experiences, but I believe they deserve respectful consideration and independent investigation. I am concerned that people may experience changes in sleep, energy, concentration, or their ability to function without knowing what may be contributing to them. I believe such reports deserve scientific attention rather than being dismissed simply because they are difficult to measure. I respectfully ask federal regulators to support independent research into reported sensitivity to radiofrequency emissions and electromagnetic fields; transparent monitoring of wireless infrastructure and compliance with applicable exposure standards; and public access to reliable information about wireless installations and their emissions. Research should examine reported symptoms objectively, distinguish correlation from causation, and investigate whether some individuals may experience effects that are not yet fully understood. My purpose is to document my experiences and ask that the concerns of people reporting difficulties they associate with wireless technology be taken seriously. Careful investigation, transparent information, and open-minded scientific inquiry are essential as wireless infrastructure continues to expand.

Microwave ovens use 2.45 GHz frequency, which couples to the rotation frequency of water molecules, leading to strong heating. Other frequencies in the GHz range couple to other molecules in the body, with effects that have not yet been sufficiently studied. Those effects could include headaches, dizziness, muscle twitching, brain fog, others. The push to more and more transmitters and higher and higher frequencies because of the apparent need for faster and faster communication speeds comes at the expense of human health and well being. We live as far as we can from our local 5G antennas on purpose. I did an experiment once with 6G frequencies to ignite energetic materials. Works great! That result should give everyone pause. What do those frequencies do to humans??? My coworkers all complained about headaches during the experiment even from small amounts of reflected radiation. The health effects of wireless radiation MUST be studied before any further large scale deployment, but I'm not holding my breath. Sadly.
