We can control so many things about our health choices but the area of EMF exposure is an area I feel so helpless in. They keep installing towers by my house and my son’s health has suffered. It’s a silent poison. Please regulate this. Most people do not want data centers and we don’t need our phones radiating us around the clock either. The amount of EMF exposure coming from seemingly everything has gotten out of hand and we can’t get away from it!
I can feel EMFs, RF and wireless radiation. My chest tightens and it becomes hard to breathe. I was driving on Interstate 10 through Phoenix, Arizona one of the first times I experienced this along with a pressure headache. When we got through the city my symptoms went away. When my small town in central Texas replaced power poles from wood to metal I could feel in my breathing. I have had those symptoms on some city streets in Austin and San Antonio also. I cannot hold a cell phone to my ear because it feels like it's burning me. I opted out of getting a smart meter a few years ago since my bed is only about 8 feet from the meter and am charged a fee of $87.50 per month for them to read my meter. I am a veteran, retired from the U.S. Air Force, in my 70's, and I so wish my government would have regulated the tech industry to provide better protection against these energy fields.
I am submitting this comment as someone concerned about the health effects of wireless radiation as well as the effects on the environment.
I hope that HHS will use this opportunity to create a comprehensive report on the current medical, biological, and public health knowledge regarding these effects and take action on that. Please consider the experiences of those affected by this radiation as part of what is reviewed to come up with what should be the scientific underpinnings to actual protective standards and action by the federal government.
Personal space is important when dealing with this and health problems some our more vulnerable, people are taking advantage. Can lead to muscle spasms and even death be aware it's in public's hands now put a lock on it
Across the nation many residents are concerned about the small cell wireless antennas being deployed in our community. These powerful antennas, part of the next generation of wireless technology (5G), are being placed in close proximity to our homes, schools and other places where we engage in the activities of our daily lives, even though there is no science that assures their safety. This is an undeniable risk. The rapid rollout of the next generation in wireless communications known as “5G." In neighborhoods like ours across America, so-called “small cell” antennas need to be installed close to homes and apartments to facilitate this new technology. The deployment raises serious issues that should concern everyone in our community: safety, security, privacy, property values and health.
The FCC’s human exposure guidelines for the radio frequency (RF) microwave radiation used for this technology are decades out of date and the agency has dismissed the results of decade-long research on RF microwave radiation and human health completed last year by the National Toxicology Program that showed “clear evidence of carcinogenicity.”
Because the health and safety of our families is at stake, we demand a moratorium on further deployment of 5G until it can be proven safe.
NOTE: This is a security and privacy issue. Wireless networks are relatively easy to hack compared to fiber-optic wired networks. Data from your phone and other wireless personal or home devices can be easily captured and marketed. In addition, small cell installations have the capacity to house cameras for facial recognition, as they do in China.
What guarantees do we have that the technology will not be abused? This is a safety issue. Local zoning codes are meant to protect our safety, but the wireless industry is fighting those codes. Most existing utility poles (the preferred location for small cell antennas because it’s cheap) were not designed to withstand the hundreds of pounds of additional equipment, and severe weather events could bring down the poles, causing damage to our homes and property. Our local officials should have the right to decide where those new antennas and their equipment are placed. But perhaps most troubling is the news about our health. A recent (2018) peer-reviewed study by the National Toxicology Program of the National Institutes of Health – the most prestigious health research organization in the world – proved that exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation, the kind emitted from all wireless devices and their infrastructure, causes cancer and DNA damage. Not maybe. Their language says there was “clear evidence of carcinogenicity.” We urge you to visit www.AmericansForResponsibleTech.org to learn more about these issues and what you can do to protect your home and family.
I do not consent to experiments with any kind of radiation or electromagnetic frequencies experiments. I oppose being put at risk by the very people my tax dollars support! Stop this nonsense!
We try our best to eat healthy, organic, free range, grass fed, etc. We're careful to use only natural deodorants, soaps and detergents. We get sunlight, we take vitamins. All these things we can control but the amount of radiation we're being blasted with is totally outside of our control. We, the citizens of this country, have to rely on the government to do the right thing when it comes to the amount of radiation we're exposed to. We know that the government very often DOES NOT do the right thing. So, since you are requesting comments, how about this: THE ABSOLUTE BARE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION NEEDED TO RUN THE DEVICES IN THE AREA SHOULD BE THE ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF RADIATION ALLOWED. 4G worked just fine. Then 5G, which is much more dangerous, came along and worked the same as 4G but gave more people cancer. Now, they want to implement 6G. For what? To finish us off? Stop it! Just stop it!
The "industry professionals" only care about making their machines work. They do not care about the people being harmed. Don't listen to them! Find good, uncompromised scientists and create standards that prioritize health over functionality. If anyone can do it, RFKJr can do it. Be the man who saves us!
Nothing over 3g should be allowed. Tests overseas have proven, to the point of self-evidence, that these cause harm and change behavior in animals. There are also several articles revealing spikes in autism when in near vicinity. Get rid of all of it over 3G
