The commenter identifies longstanding electrosensitivity, describes sleep changes associated with switchi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My name is Frédérique Laffont. I am a French woman, born in 1967, and I have been living with what is commonly referred to as electromagnetic hypersensitivity, or electrosensitivity, for many years. I am submitting this testimony because I believe that the experiences of people affected by this condition deserve to be heard, taken seriously, and investigated through independent scientific research. In 1993, France Télécom provided my partner and me with a Nokia mobile phone at no cost. At the time, we lived in Paris and worked in photography, film, and communications. My understanding was that this was part of an effort to assess how the public would respond to this new technology. As my partner worked from home, I was the person who used the phone most frequently, both at work and in the car. I had access to it until 1999, after which I also used a mobile phone through a paid subscription for professional purposes. Around 2002, I installed Wi-Fi in my home. In 2006, I began experiencing a range of health problems: tinnitus, circulatory problems, headaches, dizziness, digestive difficulties, sleep disturbances, unusually dry skin on my face, and unexplained itching. At the time, I did not understand what might be causing these symptoms. One day, a friend complained about the cables she needed for her internet connection. I suggested that she use Wi-Fi instead. She refused, explaining that she did not want to expose her three-year-old daughter, Jasmine, to it. Her response made me curious. I began searching the internet for information about the possible dangers of Wi-Fi. I came across descriptions of symptoms similar to mine. I decided to remove Wi-Fi from my own home and return to a wired internet connection. The improvement was almost immediate. After nights spent unable to sleep, I was finally able to sleep again. The unexplained itching I had been experiencing also disappeared. Approximately three weeks after I had switched off my own Wi-Fi, my neighbour, who lived directly above me, installed his own internet router. Until then, I had been sharing my internet connection with him, so he had not needed to pay for his own subscription. His new router was located directly above my bedroom, and he left the Wi-Fi switched on. Within three days, my sleep problems returned. Once again, I was unable to sleep. I used my computer to search for nearby Wi-Fi networks and identified my neighbour's network. I contacted his partner and explained what was happening. They subsequently switched off their Wi-Fi. I then regained normal sleep. For me, the sequence was striking: I had experienced an almost immediate improvement after switching off my own Wi-Fi; my sleep problems returned shortly after a new Wi-Fi source was activated directly above my bedroom; and I regained normal sleep after my neighbours switched theirs off. I understand that my personal experience cannot, by itself, establish scientific causation. Nevertheless, these events were clear and deeply significant to me. They have shaped my understanding of my condition and my need to avoid certain electromagnetic exposures. I have also experienced episodes of severe dizziness. I remember one occasion particularly clearly. I was speaking to my friend Laurence on a cordless DECT telephone when she told me that she was pregnant. I suddenly became so dizzy that I nearly fell. I have also repeatedly noticed changes in my tinnitus in relation to my surroundings. When I am near certain mobile-phone base stations, I perceive very high-pitched sounds. These sounds cease when I move away. My condition has profoundly restricted my life. I avoid public events, concerts, cinemas, and restaurants whenever possible. Social activities can be difficult, and I have increasingly withdrawn from social contact in order to avoid suffering. I have also had to stop flying because air travel makes me suffer to much. I have noticed a striking difference between two cars. My own car is a petrol-powered Mercedes coupé from 2002. My husband's car is a Mercedes B-Class from 2008, with more electronic equipment, including an automatic start-stop system that switches off the engine when the car stops at a traffic light. On longer journeys in his car, I suffer from severe pain in my knees and chest. I do not experience the same thing in my own car. These differences are part of what I have learned to pay attention to in my daily life. I now spend very little time in Paris. When I visit, I can generally manage for about two weeks, but no longer. This limitation affects my freedom of movement and my ability to maintain an ordinary social life. Thank you for your attention. Let us hope that protecting the population, and above all children, will become a priority. Frédérique Laffont France

The commenter reports longstanding wireless-related symptoms worsening after a smart-meter installation, …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
1. & 2. I am responding as: an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)Wi-Fi, cellphones, 'Smart' meters, roadside antennas 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):I have been having noticeable and increasing adverse reactions to wireless radiation for about 15 years 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:I get heart palpitations, severe headaches, dizziness, nausea, and neurological impairments when exposed to wireless technology, as well as physical pain on direct contact. 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:Had been feeling some physical discomfort off and on around exposure to cellphones for several years, mostly headaches and pain running up my arm when touching a cellphone. When a bank of 'Smart' meters was installed on the side of the apartment building where I lived, within less than 30 feet from where I slept, my reactions worsened and became disabling. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?My primary doctor suggested some years prior that he thought I might be electromagnetically sensitized, but I didn't take him seriously. By the time I recognized that I was injured, he had retired, and I no longer had a doctor familiar with the effects. I briefly had a doctor who recognized the problem and helped alleviate some of the effects with craniosacral therapy. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?I began sleeping under a shielding canopy and started wearing a hat with non-conductive shielding fabric in it, which reduced the exposure to some extent. I eventually became homeless, and for a while I was able to stay in a 'quiet zone' in a rural area, where there was no wireless connectivity, and I felt a lot better, though heart and neurological effects never fully went away. I was unable to stay in that area and ended up back in an urban area, where I again am forced to spend most of my time under a shielding canopy, and my health has gotten worse again. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:I have since seen a number of scientific abstracts on RF radiation effects that match my experience. When I was in the rural area I rarely measured RF above 0.0005 mW/m2, maybe up to 0.0012 when an airplane or helicopter flew over, but in the urban area where I'm staying currently those measurements are many thousands of times higher. Inside the house where others use Wi-Fi and cellphones, and there are several 'Smart' appliances, I measure at best 0.9 mW/m2 when I keep some distance, but usually it's at least 1 to 3 mW/m2. In front of the washer and dryer, even when they're not running, and even though they are not connected to any devices, I measure up to 55 mW/m2 standing in front of them, and as much as 138 mW/m2 when I touch the machine. Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:Since being injured by the exposure to the bank of 'Smart' meters I've become increasingly housebound. With ever more antennas being installed throughout the city, I could no longer move freely around my neighborhood without getting sick. I stopped being able to ride any public transportation, not even paratransit for people with disabilities, because the radiation from cellphones, walkie-talkies, and other wireless tech used by drivers and other passengers increases as it bounces around inside the metal vehicles that act like Faraday cages. I've become trapped under my canopy, and have not been able to find safe, accessible housing because of other people's use of wireless technology, be that housemates or neighbors, or even businesses whose Wi-Fi penetrates the walls to where I've been able to find temporary shelter. B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:All wireless technology, but especially Wi-Fi hubs and routers, cellphones, roadside antenna arrays, especially small cell antennas that are closer to the ground. B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:There are no wireless sources whatsoever that I can be near without being harmed. I can be around LF from my wired laptop and air purifier, but have to keep some distance, and after a while get a headache regardless. B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed:I can not use any wireless sources without being harmed. I don't notice wired tech if it's at a distance and I limit my exposure time. B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):There are no wireless or other EMF sources that I experience as beneficial or therapeutic.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I previously send in two comments on behalf of boardmembers of The Danish EHS Association (mv7-po47-pre3 and mv7-pbqa-zi50). Neither one of the two comments have yet been made publicly available on your website. I have now deleted personally identifiable information in the edited comment below, if that was the reason for it not being posted. If possible, you are welcome to post the comment below: Comment from Danish EHS Association: The information in the comment below is based on personal experiences of boardmembers and boardmembers contact with members of the Association. The Danish EHS Association represents people who experience adverse health effects from a wide variety of EMF and RF-EMF emitting sources. The association currently have around 500 members. Adverse health effects (insomnia, heart palpitations, headache, migraine, restlessness in the body, fatigue, cognitive issues (brain fog, memory issues, etc.), burning skin, nausea, dizziness, joint pain, pain in organs, tinnitus, stress and more) are often reported by members to be related to: - Cell towers - Wi-Fi routers and devices - Bluetooth devices - Cellphones and smartphones - Wireless speakers - Smart meters - High-voltage cables in the ground - PV solar inverters - Robotic lawnmowers with active boundary wires - Induction and microwave cooking - EV charging stations and EV´s - Dirty electricity - Stray currents - "Regular" 50 Hz electrical fields or EMF from wires, household appliances, and electronics such as TVs, stereos, computers, etc. (some members turn everything off at night, or do not have electricity in their homes at all) Members also experience specific settings as being particularly often related to adverse health effects, such as: - Being in crowds in general: cinemas, concerts, family gatherings and more (many people = many cellphones = high exposure) - Using public transport such as buses, trains and boats (a closed metal box + many cellphones = high exposure) - Being in hospitals (WiFi, Bluetooth, DECT phone systems, Wireless medical equipment and many people) - Being in airports (many people with cellphones, wearables, etc. + radar) - Flying - Beaches and harbours with radar nearby Recommendations: - Inform general practitioners that they should register and notify the HHS (e.g. via an online form) when a patient reports adverse health effects related to EMF or RF-EMF exposure. To our knowledge, nothing is being systematically reported or registered when patients discuss these issues with their practitioner. We are sometimes contacted by affected individuals because nurses at clinics recommend contacting us. - Initiate a survey among general practitioners to provide an estimate of how often patients report having EMF or RF-EMF-related issues. - Set up an online form in which people who personally experience adverse health effects related to EMF or RF-EMF exposure can state which symptoms (headache, insomnia, dizziness, etc.) they experience and in which settings (scrolling on a smartphone, staying somewhere close to a cell tower, traveling by bus/train, going to a concert, etc.). - Make general information about how to lower exposure when using a cellphone widely available to the public. On the organisation website (ehsf.dk) the attached brochure with precautionary recommendations when using a cellphone is made publicly available. Thank you for providing individuals, families, health care providers, researchers and scientists an opportunity to be heard on this critical public health issue.

The commenter reports severe EMR syndrome and mobility impairment, describes worsening disability around …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have a long history, medically documented of severe EMR Syndrome, (www.emrsyndrome.org). It is difficult for me to go out. I have trouble walking due to a mobility impairment. The neighbor’s WiFi, wireless security systems, especially the newer ones, exacerbate my disability. The smart meters are especially difficult for me because our houses are so close to each other. I cannot tolerate using a computer and have asked Pennsylvanians for Safe Technology to submit my comment. Please work for a safer FCC guideline, for analog meters and to allow me to keep my landline, it is my lifeline. I am isolated. At a time when everyone has a communication device strapped to their fingertips, I am not able to do that, and they are planning to take away my only way to communicate with those outside my house, my landline. With my disability it is so unthinkable to not have a way to communicate, to make a simple phone call, even in an emergency. Here are a few medical references to support my case: • a 2025 review: Panagopoulos DJ, Yakymenko I, De Iuliis GN and Chrousos GP (2025) A comprehensive mechanism of biological and health effects of anthropogenic extremely low frequency and wireless communication electromagnetic fields.

Reports sleep disturbance associated with a neighbor's Wi-Fi, recounts friends' vision loss and cancer at…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Many thanks to you for taking public comments on the damaging consequences to health from the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted by all high-tech devices. Until about 15 or 20 years ago, I never had any trouble sleeping in my entire life. Then, suddenly, from one day to the next, I had tremendous trouble sleeping. I could not get to sleep for hours, I could not stay asleep, or get back to sleep when I woke up throughout the night. I was mystified, because NOTHING had changed in my health or my life. After several months of this, I happened to hear an alternative health show on the radio. The topic was dangers to health and life from EMR. Often, the show's expert host said, the first consequence people notice is trouble sleeping. I realized a new neighbor had moved in when the trouble started. She confirmed she had installed WiFi in her apartment. The day the WiFi was installed, my sleep problems began. There has been irrefutable confirmation in the subsequent years. When I have traveled to countries where no one has cell phones or WiFi, I slept like a baby again. When I have traveled to heavily wired places, I could only manage to sleep 4 hours a night, and I need 8. Close friends have suffered more severely. One friend has spent 20 or 30 years using Bluetooth in his car to make phone calls. He spends 3 or 4 hours a day using Bluetooth, as he drives from job to job for the business he owns. The Bluetooth is in his left ear. He is now almost entirely blind in his left eye. The radiation has beamed straight into his optic nerve. A parade of ophthalmologists can find no other cause. Another friend lived a completely wired life. She had a cell phone, and a Tesla that charged in her garage, on the other side of her bedroom wall. She also had a cordless phone, which means she essentially had a cell tower in her living room spewing radiation. She had powerful WiFi throughout her home. She used a laptop computer, which she literally sat on her lap, its screen aimed at her midriff. The lymphoma that killed her started in her midriff. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the computer revolution began. Since we were the "early adopters" of this technology, we've been using it the longest. It takes years of exposure to EMR for the most serious conditions to manifest, and here at Ground Zero everyone knows people who have experienced the consequences. Glioblastoma brain tumors, for instances, show up in the general population at rates unheard-of in past years, and at younger and younger ages. Brittany Maynard, the poster child of the right-to-die movement in California, was 28 years old when she died of a glioblastoma brain tumor. She had to move from California to Oregon to obtain doctors' help in cutting short the suffering leading to her inevitable death. To provide some scientific support for the “anecdotal” claims made in my comment, please see the following articles (pdfs of these articles are also attached to the comment): • Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS, microwave syndrome) – Review of mechanisms (2020) https://maisonsaine.ca/uploads/cem-electrosmog/ehs-mechanisms-ys-iu.pdf • Interpretation of epidemiological studies on the relationship between mobile phone use and cancer (2025) https://www.emfdata.org/en/studies/detail?id=942) • Effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure on cancer in laboratory animal studies, a systematic review” (2025) (https://www.emfdata.org/en/studies/detail?id=942, • Assessment of electromagnetic fields, vibration and sound exposure effects from multiple transceiver mobile phones on oxidative stress levels in serum, brain and heart tissue (2020) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2468227620300090. • EUROPAEM EMF Guideline 2016 for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of EMF-related health problems and illnesses https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/reveh-2016-0011/html

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
EMFs not limited to wifi, cell towers, cell phones, electrical meters have ruined my life after I became EMF sensitive when 5G was installed. At the very least , cell towers should be removed from residential areas. I’ve heard it all, it’s in your head etc, there needs to be awareness about the harmful effect of EMFs.

Reports EMF sensitivity, pain and mood changes around devices and a nearby microcell, describes shielding…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I wish I didn't suffer or have a sensitivity to EMFs, but I do... I am a tech person, and at times, I must limit my exposure due to my sensitivity or the side effects that may occur... I have a drone, and yet there are times I cannot fly it because I cannot stand the pain or pressure that it brings on to my head and my chest... If I fight the pain or try to ignore it, I get angry, easily agitated, and sometimes become full of rage!    I do not like feeling like that. I am a kind person, a protector, and someone who would go out of my way to help anyone in need. I do not like the feelings that I get around certain devices. It has only become harder to go out in public or to other homes. May it be customers' houses, visiting friends or family, all because of this wireless technology.  There is nothing SMART about being hit and surrounded by non-ionizing microwave radiation ALL day long in your HOME... I can say for me, the signals emitted from a cell phone with service but data and wifi OFF I don't notice or feel any different. I practice turning my data OFF when I don't use it. I do NOT use WIFI it affects me the worst. If I must, it's in a controlled area only to update devices that don't accept Ethernet cable with adapters. Newer phones, particularly "Samsung" and "Apple," At times, I can hardly stand to be near one. It can cause a long list of side effects, including vertigo, chest pain/pressure, depression, anger, trouble thinking, to name a few, and can occur as fast as someone just showing me a picture on their device.    For 6 years or more, I suffered in my own home because of an active micro cell that is less than 30ft from my pillow. Living here was a brutal punishment... It was torture 24 hours a day for an individual like myself... I spent thousands of dollars to protect myself and my family... The products that worked best were shungite, shielding clothing, and silver fiber bed canopies. It gave me some relief, or should I say protection, from this weapons-like device. I am happy to say that for over the past year or more I feel normal again in our home!  I never thought I would say "It is good to be home!" ever again... I never thought I would feel normal or be able to sleep well again living here!  I know others are worse off than me. But unless you know what it's like to suffer from this tech. You have NO idea what it is like to be in our shoes... Who talks about sensitivity to EMFs?  Better yet, where is the list of common side effects for the technology that we're using?  It is very hard to live like this... Here is one example and possibly the most important one. #1. We feel embarrassed..! If we tell somebody to please turn their phone into airplane mode because we have pain from being next to it, the first thing that person is most likely going to say is, "WHY!?"   The next thing they will likely do is laugh at your reason, or think you are crazy!    I suffered for a long time, waiting for a Government policy to protect us. There isn't a distance standards for Micro-Cells or Antennas. There is NO safety policy; the FCC isn't even a part of this RFI. That is very bothersome... However, on February 16, 2025, after a dramatic event, I thought I was going to lose my son! God woke me up and gave me the protective power, the strength, and the courage to stand up for what I know is right and just to protect my family again. I had lost those abilities over years of being tortured within my own home. And on this day we shut the power OFF to this device!  Words cannot express the relief that I felt... The next night in bed, I cried like I have never done before... I apologized to my wife for failing her as a husband and our kids as a father for all those years, and lastly I said, "I promise that I will not allow them to keep that device on! I will not live like that again...so help me GOD!" We battled for months, antenna ON and OFF! Horrible side effects were noted when it was ON; good or restored health was recorded when it was OFF... These data/Notes were laminated and left on or near the power supply/circuit breaker box... We begged and asked to please just leave this off...  We just want to live in peace like we had once before; we didn't want to go to court for this... AT&T, whoever was calling the shots, has no mercy... After another tragic event, we were left with no choice but to file a lawsuit against them. I will not go into detail, but I will say this: after that last tragic event, this site has remained off since that very day... And I feel normal once again... We will do whatever it takes to protect ourselves, our children, and our neighbors...We will NOT stop!  Attached is my story: how I became aware of my sensitivity, what I have done to protect or eliminate side effects and symptoms, and much more.   Respectfully, Danny

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
On the evening of October 11, 2026 my husband and I checked into a villa to spend a 6 night vacation. I immediately started feeling dizzy. I brushed it off from being tired from the 13 hour drive. But when I layed down in the bed my body felt like it was vibrating inside especially in my neck and throat! I was very scared! I turned my head and noticed flashing colored lights coming from a box behind the nightstand by my head. Ah Ha!! A router! We do not have one of these in our house because I know they can give me headaches and make me feel extremely exhausted. I moved to an upstairs bedroom to try and get some sleep. ( It was 12:30 am by then) The vibrating finally subsided after alot of deep breathing and praying! I kept trying to wake up the next morning but I kept feeling so,so tired and aching! About 11:35 am I called the management desk and requested the router be removed immediately. They did but the 1st day of my vacation was ruined. I felt like I had been run over!! I had to lay down and rest every afternoon and take aspirin for aching! So I'm supposed to check for routers and cell towers near any place I spend the night? Really!!

Reports family symptoms around wireless devices, meters, schools and workplaces, describes denied telewor…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
2: My perspective:myself & family 3a-c: WIFI mouse – rash on hand appeared after ~1yr. Wouldn’t go away until I stopped using it for a week. Rash came back upon return to use. Returned to wired mouse & rash hasn’t returned. AMR smart electric meter (precursor to AMI): Power company advised it transmitted data ~ 1-1:30 a.m., coinciding with same time I had begun awakening suddenly every night. I had the meter removed and replaced with a non-transmitting meter and now sleep through night (WIFI, bluetooth, & cell phone off also.) AMI smart electric meter (pulses every few seconds): installed without parents’ knowledge, on same wall where Dad’s (w/pacemaker) bed was. He experienced sudden decline in health, inexplicable bloodwork; Dr later said was very likely due to AMI meter (once that coinciding installation was discovered & discussed.) AMI meter replaced with a non-Smart meter and his blood work and health improved. AMI meters are also invasion of privacy with the data collection. WIFI & bluetooth(home): over time & exposure, several symptoms became regular occurrence: nervous tension, unexplained anxiety, heart palpitations, irritability, agitation, short-temper, brain fog, headaches, restless sleep (myself & family–bulk of/worst of symptoms alleviated when began keeping WIFI & bluetooth off most of the time, especially at night.) Still have some low-level symptoms; neighbors’ WIFI still infiltrates the house. WIFI (schools): mid-way through my child’s schooling, WIFI boosters were installed in the ceilings in the middle of classrooms. My child began to complain of headaches and agitation, and harder to focus. Symptoms would go away during Summer months & return when back in school. One of the schools was in very close proximity to a cell tower. Anecdotally, several cases of childhood leukemia and teachers with cancer have arisen over the yrs. WIFI + cell boosters (office): Installed ~every 30 feet on ceilings starting ~2018 & expanding throughout whole building complex during 2020-2024 era. Symptoms began shortly after installation and close daily exposure-i.e. creepy crawly sensation on skin, especially scalp/brain, low level to escalating headache and other symptoms including those noted above for WIFI at home exposure. Effects felt within about an hour of being in office. For a time, an accommodation to telework was allowed, but when up for review, it was refused. Since ADA doesn’t explicitly acknowledge EMF/EMR sensitivity as meeting the ADA guidelines for disability, the new management doesn’t either. 5G masts (around office complex) installed ~2020-2024 era: Walks of respite outside to give body a break from inside WIFI is no longer possible with the 5G masts. Electric vehicles: Even short infrequent rides in a friend’s electric vehicle gives me creepy crawly sensations and nervous system irritation. 3 doctors concur with EMF/EMR exposure as being the cause of the symptoms experienced. 5: The FCC should be compelled to comply with an order issued by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit in 2021 in the case Environmental Health Trust, et al. v. FCC (DC Cir 2021, No. 20-1025), ordering the FCC to address 11,000 pages of evidence on adverse impacts of wireless radiation before ANY legislation favorable to telecom and broadband expansion is even considered. I fear what will happen when towns lose all control over tower, small cell, and in/on-home placements. The focus on broadband deployment should be on safe, reliable fiber to homes, schools, and offices with ethernet connections, not unreliable, harmful wireless permeating the air. Americans with Disabilities Acct (ADA) - EMF/EMR sensitivity needs to be added as a protected class under the act. Guidance for those sensitive to EMF/EMR/wireless/bluetooth technologies needs to be unburied, acknowledged, updated, and disseminated to employers and those with public access buildings. Offices and public buildings should be inspected and remediated by building biologists certified in Electromagnetic and Electro Radio Frequencies, such as the Building Biology Institute. 13: The growing proliferation makes it an extremely difficult and dismal future for those who are sensitive or have pre-existing conditions. Those who are not yet, could easily become so with increased exposures and intensities. 15: Cancer/health issue clusters/declines & symptomologies known to be related to EMF’s in relation to human and animal health; local animal, bird, insect population declines, health of native flora & fauna vs invasive proliferations, increases in molds. No wireless infrastructures should be in/around any of these places. Wired should be the norm. I submit what Sayer Ji has put together as evidence: https://open.substack.com/pub/sayerji/p/secretary-kennedy-asked-for-the-evidence?r=2ri5rr&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email
