Wi-Fi & indoor exposure

Five years go I was diagnosed with AFIB as many people have it seems within the past 5-6 years whether they are old or young. I am older and the mechanics of my heart were in good condition. It was the electronic part of my heart that was causing this problem. I now keep the wifi turned off in my house at night, try to keep using a computer or phone to a minimal. I did discover that whenever I was shopping and the store used the anti-theft RF tags, my heart rate would speed up and I would start feeling weak and nauseous when I was around areas in the store that used those tags. I was never told by a doctor that this may have caused the AFIB, but I think the likelihood of a correlation between the RF, EMF's & the like, is a high probability I have since had an heart ablation done which greatly helped with the AFIB, but remain cautious. Through reading many articles in the past years on 5G, EMF's, RF, etc. there was mention of the probability of this affecting small engine planes, wildlife, birds, bees, etc. We do hear daily about small planes (and large) crashing, but never hear the reason. We have had wasp and bees attack us in our own yard in an aggressive manner, this has never been an issue before. Thank you for your time and the work you do.

Hello, I am a concerned mother. I believe the HHS must look into wireless radiation exposure to protect our children. Currently, the regulatory oversight on this matter is insufficient to protect the public. We need more information regarding safe doses, along with research on the cumulative effects of wireless radiation exposure. Children are particularly vulnerable to this radiation, yet every school has an iPad in every child's lap. They have WIFI boosters in the halls. We need to know what exactly these EMF waves are doing to our children, what's safe, and how to protect ourselves from harmful exposure.

We are tired of feeling sick from exposure to emf, radiation and chemicals in the air. I have a brain tumor I suspect from 5g exposure. I was the first in my family to be exposed to a 5g phone, which I have to use quite alot for work as well as personal use. The tumor is on the same side of my head that I hold my phone. I put my phone in my right pocket, from and back and now have major tendons tearing on my right hip and elbow. I also suspect from my 5g phone. Any area that our phones are on, gets hot. Our apartment, we had to have 5g router added, wired in the wall. And since it's installment, we have all been sick continuously with headaches, dizziness, nausea, stomach issues, mood swings, immense brain fog, again all ages in our household have been experiencing this. We are bombarded from towers that keep getting put in around us, plus existing towers expanding with more and more attachments. When driving, we literally see these towers every 200 ft. Its ruining the beauty of our state as well as killing us as a species with boat loads of diseases and cancers. We dont want data centers, we dont want or need 5/6g. We really just want to be healthy and you will NOT let us. Enough treating us like peasants and guinea pigs to experiment on!!!

For the past 10 years, when I first installed a router into my home to power my desktop computer and smartphone, I've experienced sleep disturbances, headaches and neurlalgia. Telecom companies have a stranglehold on congress with their aggressive lobbying; therefore, I don't expect one damn thing to come of this pathetic (because it's years too late) "inquiry". Fortunately, at least inside your own home, it is still possible to hard wire your internet with ethernet wiring. It is evil and heartless for a society such as ours to force the elderly, many of whom don't understand the skills necessary to navigate this tech heavy society, to have digital "accounts" for every damn business and health relationship necessary to survive.

My husband and I are among those who must wear stealth EMF-blocking hats during air travel. Without them, we become severely fatigued, experience brain fog, and are much more susceptible to colds, influenza, and similar illnesses. My husband travels frequently for work and must shield himself; otherwise, he is susceptible to the same effects which impede his work and health. In hotels, Airbnbs, and on cruise ships, sleep is often disrupted when we sleep near the electrical outlets typically placed by the headboard or head of the bed. We therefore travel with aluminum foil and tape so we can shield ourselves. This necessity is not widely recognized but again, effects can be felt without it. Sleeping near a Wi-Fi router, a utility smart meter on an exterior wall, or similar sources produces the same symptoms. We must also avoid sleeping near our smartphones at night. As RV snowbirds, we have had to forgo lots near cell towers, WiFi routers or electrical lines, because proximity to them can make us ill. Shielding ourselves in this way is an unwelcome task that takes considerable time and energy, but the alternative has been poor health. I often carry a GQ Tri-Field EMF Radiation Detector to corroborate our experience. As someone who has lived with chronic illness for twenty years, I am encouraged that you are taking this seriously.

since 2022 i have been hearing constant hissing and ringing in my ears which is better when wifi/bluetooth is off. when sitting close to the wifi i can feel surface tension pain on skin exposed and facing the router. i now sleep in an emf canopy at night to avoid waking up throughout the night. i had a high SAR phone when i realized the connection between bio signs and emf, i now use an older phone and keep it mostly on airplane mode. something must be done, this is already a disaster.

I have a flip phone that I use only in emergencies. I depend on landline because whenever I use a cell phone for any length of time a burning feeling of pins and needles crawls up my arm. I have computer attached by wire from modem. Wifi disturbs my sleep. The cable company was going to attach a battery pack to the modem, in order to ensure service when electrical service is disrupted. Within 20 minutes I was shaking, despite sitting over 15 feet away. Fortunately the workman was able to quickly return and remove it. The feeling stopped. I have no idea why the installation of the battery pack would cause this. We look at the physical and chemical aspects of the body. We need to start looking at the energetic/electrical as well.

Perspective: Member of the public and parent. Responding to Questions 10, 11, 16, and 18: historical animal pathology records as an overlooked data source. I ask HHS to examine a long-running record that, to my knowledge, has never been studied for its relevance to electromagnetic exposure: the autopsy archive of the Philadelphia Zoological Garden. The zoo's Laboratory of Comparative Pathology (later the Penrose Research Laboratory) was founded in 1901. From 1916 to 1964, directors Herbert Fox and Herbert L. Ratcliffe kept complete autopsy records on more than 13,000 mammals and birds. Their published reviews describe a striking change: - In 1923, Fox described arterial lesions as "exceedingly rare," found in under 2% of autopsies. By 1964, arteriosclerosis was found in about 25% of mammals and 35% of birds. - No coronary artery disease appears in the records before 1945. The first heart attacks were recorded in 1955. By 1963, over 90% of mammals and 72% of birds that died had coronary disease. Heart attacks had struck 24% of the mammals and 10% of the birds, often young animals. - A 1959 Penrose report compared 1901-1934 with 1935-1955. Malignant tumors rose 2- to 20-fold across nine mammal families, and benign tumors rose even more. Among 7,286 birds, malignant tumors rose 2.5-fold and benign tumors 8-fold. - The changes spanned 45 families of mammals and 65 families of birds. The investigators considered the usual explanations. Diets were improved in 1935 and then held constant through 1964, yet coronary disease emerged only after 1945. Population density and exercise were reported as stable. Ratcliffe suggested social stress from breeding programs begun in 1940. That cannot explain the arterial disease of the 1930s, or the continued rise in animals that were not being bred. Similar rates were later reported at the London Zoo (1960) and the Antwerp Zoo (1962). I learned of these records from Arthur Firstenberg's book The Invisible Rainbow. Firstenberg notes that this period coincides with rapid electrification and, after World War II, a large rise in environmental radiofrequency radiation from radar, broadcasting, and industrial RF equipment. The records contain no exposure measurements, and I am not claiming they prove a cause. But they are a rare, consistent, multi-species dataset covering decades in which diet, crowding, and activity were reasonably stable. The main explanation offered at the time does not fit the data. Captive animals do not change their own habits, which makes them valuable sentinels. Two broader points. First, any population shows a spectrum of responses to an environmental factor. Even if the median person and above notice little effect from RF exposure, safety standards should be built with the most sensitive people in mind, not the average. A limit that protects the typical adult may not protect the bottom quartile. Second, exposure drops off sharply with distance from the source, so simple awareness goes a long way. Turning off Wi-Fi at night, or simply not keeping a router two feet from your bed, is not Luddite thinking. It is a reasonable, no-cost precaution that most people have never heard of. My requests: 1. (Q16) Fund a re-analysis of the Philadelphia Zoo pathology archive and comparable long-term zoo and veterinary records. Pair it with historical reconstruction of local electrical and RF exposure, such as power distribution and nearby broadcast and radar installations. 2. (Q10) Treat zoo and wildlife pathology programs as a standing sentinel surveillance system for environmental exposures, including RF, with exposure monitoring at those sites. 3. (Q11) Because the disease in these records so often struck young animals, give particular attention to children's cumulative exposure as wireless devices multiply in homes and schools. 4. (Q9, Q11) Publish plain-language public guidance on reducing exposure through distance and nighttime habits, and make sure exposure standards account for the most sensitive members of the population, not just the average.

4 years struggling with emf exposure in over 16 countries and almost 1000 Ecco villages. Lack of protection for cells to regenerate. Improper stations of high electromagnetic fields cause cell repair systems to fail. Spraying of toxic heavy metals and micro machinery in global atmospheres causes deadly effects operating as self replicating networks within bodies and towers combined. Healer and conductor of ecovillage development globally. Please remove as many towers as possible. Remove satellites above USA lands. Well globally better. Remove wifi everywhere. And utilize lower band frequencies for messaging. Move towards working with light based technologies that are new and innovative to improve health and well being. Inhibit any spraying above skies including all commercial planes. Educate about heavy metal eradication. Micro machinery eradication. And completely remove any new developments in higher frequency band Thanks so much. Sorry for the short and quick text. Longstanding expert in this field. Love to see this work improving. All the love, Mr chance.

EMF gives me headaches. I wake up in middle of the night with one. Was so bad I had to get Faraday protection. Ears ringing. Add in Smart Meters, NEXRAD radar weather manipulation, WiFi Router, cell phones, 5G, it’s all affecting us negatively. We feel like it’s an attack on humanity because it is.
