In 2019 I was in perfect health and suddenly began to experience acute symptoms of tremors and muscle flinching at night, extreme fatigue, pain in hands when holding a phone, pain in chest when near a computer or remote control, interrupted sleep. After much consternation and searching for answers I learned Smart Meters were installed in my neighborhood in January of 2019 and I clearly determined that to be the source. I provided a doctor's medical verification to the power company to request an opt out meter. During the five weeks I waited for the meter after submitting the application, I was suffering so badly I called the power company multiple times to plead for the installation and this is not at all my nature. After I received an opt-out meter in July, the tremors and flinching stopped immediately. But only after implenting MANY other mitigation measures I learned about from EMF advocacy groups (which took a lot of digging to find) did I experience nearly complete relief. But my health never returned to the full measure of stamina as before smart meters, and if I get a lot of exposure I start to have pains again when near devices and fatigue. Apparently the 7 months of smart meter exposure until I received an opt out meter in July 2019, and the ubiquitous presence of 5G, took a serious toll on my body. The EXTENSIVE measures I had to take to effectively mitigate include: a townhome neighbor was kind enough to install a smart meter guard; eliminating wifi router; turning off internet hotspot whenever not in use; turning off breakers in sleep area at night; shielding blankets; removing all battery powered gadgets and electronics from sleep area; always placing my cellphone on a table to scroll or make calls; placing devices in another room or turning them off when not using them; limiting time on devices. This last measure has affected my ability to work since my work required 8-10 hours on a computer several days of the week. If I spend significant hours on a computer with wifi connected I start to get exhausted again. I can only surmise that untold millions are suffering without knowing the cause. And I am very greatly concerned about future generations. I am happy to testify or sign off on the complete truthfulness of these statements.

26110078465 https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filing/26110078465 I am writing regarding the FCC’s response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ remand concerning its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. I am pleased that the Court directed the FCC to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination that its guidelines adequately protect humans against harmful effects of RF radiation unrelated to cancer. It is so important to require the FCC to address the impacts of RF radiation on children, the health implications of long-term exposure, the ubiquity of wireless devices and technological developments, impacts on the environment, and the adequacy of the FCC’s testing procedures for cell phones and other portable devices. I can remember reading the package insert of instructions when our cell phones were 2 and 3 G, and we were instructed not to keep the phone to the ear and to use an ear piece to have a conversation on the phone. I've seen my partners phone tells you when you are holding the phone too close. Obviously it is noted that wireless radiation can affect one's health. My daughter's children always had difficulty sleeping, when she lived next door to me in Long Beach, New York, her children now sleep much better at night since she moved out of New York on top of a mountain in North Carolina where the nearest tower is 3 miles away. She moved 4 years ago and her children then were 4, 7 and 10, so they were not infants when they had difficulty sleeping. I also have difficulty sleeping at night. but we have a house in the Adirondacks and I sleep great there, I hear a constant hum here in Long Beach. It is not tinnitus. I am an RN and I know the difference. The hum is not inside my head. It comes from outside and being that I also am a musician, I needed to hum to myself to match the note sound and it is an F sharp on the lower end of the piano give or take a 1/4 note. It hasn't changed the note since I've been noting it. I wired my household desk top computers to ethernet and turned off the wi- fi, to diminish the exposure while I'm on the computer, however of course I still have wifi in the house for TV and phone use. And the low hum…

I am writing regarding the FCC’s response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ remand concerning its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. The Court directed the FCC to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination that its guidelines adequately protect humans against harmful effects of RF radiation unrelated to cancer. Specifically, the court required the FCC to address the impacts of RF radiation on children, the health implications of long-term exposure, the ubiquity of wireless devices and technological developments, impacts on the environment, and the adequacy of the FCC’s testing procedures for cell phones and other portable devices. The FCC should fully consider evidence and real-world experiences concerning the health and environmental impacts of wireless radiation, including non-cancer health effects, impacts on children, long-term and cumulative exposure, cancer, and impacts on wildlife and the environment. The FCC is not a health agency and does not have expertise in medicine, biology or public health. Yet, the agency continues to assert authority over RF exposure standards and is preparing to reach conclusions about whether its existing guidelines adequately protect the public. I urge the FCC to recognize the critical role of federal health agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and to rely on appropriate health and biological expertise when addressing the issues identified by the court. This issue matters to me personally because I am concerned for the safety of my family, friends and students/coworkers at the elementary school where I am employed. I have seen the behavior and mental health of my students decline once they were assigned one-to-one wireless devices. Children are using wireless devices at school and at home for excessive hours daily. We have a student in Children's Hospital undergoing treatment for a deadly cancer that normally affects senior citizens. Our electric company Eversource is currently replacing meters with smart meter and I am concerned about the effects on students and staff being bombarded 24/7 with more RF. I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court.

Very large very tall cell phone tower put in near my place of business causes headache and heart palpitations when I am in the location nearest the tower. Purchased monitor shows levels of EMF often too high to measure.

I want the dangers surrounding RF, 5G, EMF, ELF, and other frequencies in the air from Cell Phone towers eliminated. There's a reason you don't want to live by a cell phone tower or use your cell phone at the gas pump. Who knows how much 5G, EMF, RF and other forms of artificial Radiation that are around us now. No one wants to get sick by going to the airport. There are no regulations. I'm a concerned citizen and a Air Force veteran. RF and everything like it needs to be regulated.

Being around mobile phone signals, wifi and bluetooth gives me a headache. If I stay away from those signals, keep devices switched off and use shielding materials I'm okay. But it's getting harder to avoid the radiation day by day. Every day the number of signals and the strength of the signals seems to increase - the results I measure with my wifi analyser and EMF meter are radically greater than even 1 year ago, with the biggest difference near my home being the increasing strength of my neighbors wifi routers, plus all the extra backhaul channels that residential grade routers are running now. Epidemiologists have noted a huge increase in certain cancers of younger people since 2000. I know it's hard to pinpoint the cause with certainty but if the EMF associated with wifi wavelengths can cause a noticeable acute effect (headache) in me, imagine the chronic effects it is likely also causing in everyone else. I would like to see our safety agencies listening to science voices from outside the telecommunications industry when it comes to considering likely exposure doses and possible health outcomes from the increasing prevalence of wifi signals around us.

26110078421 https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filing/26110078421 Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of Reassessment of Federal Communications Commission Radiofrequency Exposure Limits and Policies ET Docket No. 13-84 COMMENTS OF JANET DAVENPORT This filing provides comments from Janet Davenport in the above-referenced proceeding. I am a member of the public concerned with the unaddressed potential health and environmental risks of radiofrequency (RF) radiation from wireless infrastructure and devices. SUMMARY I am filing a report for a friend who is so sick with EHS that she can't even use electricity let alone get online to comment on her condition. She is an individual consumer living in Australia. Janet had to have the wiring in her home restructured so that all other wiring was separate from it. She uses no electricity and keeps warm during winter using candles. With exposures to wi-fi, mobile phones and cell towers, within 3 minutes she suffers severe migraines and begins vomiting. It can take her weeks to recover from simple exposures so for the most part she is completely isolated with no support from anyone. As I have EHS too, we write to each other and have done for years. It helps her not to feel so alone. I know Janet would like to see awareness raised on EMF dangers and protocols set in place to protect vulnerable sensitive people like herself. ARGUMENT Janet understands the full effects that EMF can have on the human body from her personal experience. She also gets printed newsletters and magazines to keep her updated on EMF research. Some of the points she would like to illustrate on these effects include: 1. The Effects of oxidative stress on the body including cancer, free radicals, blood chemistry. Oxidative mechanisms of biological activity of low-intensity radiofrequency radiation - PubMed 2. The acute health effects caused by smartphones and antennas which have proven to cause red blood cells to rouleaux creating hypoxic conditions in the body. CONCLUSION Accordingly, I strongly urge the Commission to, under the weight of the scientific evidence, find that the current RF exposure limits are insufficient…

If I am exposed to WIFI and/or mobile phone radiation I experience a “Fight, flight or freeze” reaction. My heart rate increases and I feel anxious and nauseous. If I am exposed for a period longer than about 90 minutes I experience extreme muscle tension and knotting which often leads to migraines. I also experience a “pause” in digestive processes, resulting in indigestion and constipation. These health effects have lead me to lose employment and makes it almost impossible for me to find work as I require a “radio quiet” area to live and work, something that is increasingly difficult to find. It causes me extreme anxiety. Sincerely, Lisa Greenhill

26110078409 https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filing/26110078409 I am submitting this comment in response to FCC’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of an individual, retired Registered Veterinary Technician, parent, and human being. During January 2020, my family and I were sick with what seemed like a bad chest cold with cold/flu like symptoms. This was at the exact same time that AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile were all firing up their many 5G towers around the California central valley where I lived at the time. This was right after thousands of 5G towers were fired up in and around Wuhan China in September/October 2019 causing cold/flu-like “covid” symptoms”. I have also worked from home using a laptop computer and wifi router which caused me symptoms of irritability, anxiety, depression, dizziness, headaches, nausea, heaviness in the chest, fatigue, sleep disturbances, tinnitus and other cold/flu-like symptoms. Once I took out the router my symptoms improved but it wasn’t until I left my job to move out of state and was no longer working on a computer for 40 hours a week that I really started feeling better. I have had these same symptoms whenever I spend any time in a residence or building that has wifi and/or a large amount of electronic equipment, like the San Joaquin County building where the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors meet. I and others were sick for several days after spending hours waiting for my turn to speak in a Planning Commission meeting to address a legal matter regarding an illegal cell tower contract by the San Joaquin River Club where I used to live. I have also worked in several veterinary emergency hospitals with a lot of electronic equipment including fluid pumps, ultrasound machines, laboratory equipment and a CT scanner which caused irritability, anxiety, etc. I currently live in a low EMF environment which has really helped to alleviate my symptoms of Electromagnetic Radiation Sickness/Syndrome. I recently had an experience in which I had to gave my iPhone 16 on my person for at least 8 hours during the…

26110078243 https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filing/26110078243 Sept 24, 2026 ET Docket No. 13-84 Reassessment of FCC RF Limits/Policies. I'm Jaime Schunkewitz, an electrical/biomedical engineer with an advanced case of electromagnetic hypersensitivity and accompanied chemical sensitivity. I was a process control engineer commissioning oil refineries, and chemical plants. Tremors in my forearms were a sure sign of neural damage according to Dr. Rea. Later while a principal software engineer in R&D, I could no longer endure the excruciating pain from the EMF emitted by my PC at work. I cut the cord and went wireless at the times. Pulsed microwaves emitted by wireless devices are an existential threat to my health and existence. Cell phones, Bluetooth, wifi all cause acute, severe symptoms including headache, tinnitus, fatigue, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), cognitive decline, insomnia, chest pain, heart fibrillation, muscle weakness, digestive gut pain. The effects accumulate, so the more time being exposed the worse the symptoms become, and longer recovery time is required. If I don't have an opportunity to recover then a feverish illness take over, where I'm bedridden. I'm only able to type because I'm 25 feet from my laptop using 10x binoculars. The keyboard is an analog/passive matrix with fiber optic isolation. My trackball is shielded and also fiber optic isolated. The laptop runs on the battery, charged by a linear power supply, with a short wired Ethernet cable, the modem and router run on linear DC power supplies , all wired without WiFi, and filtered to keep the noise from conducting onto the power lines. The printer is the most brutally noisy device, and turned on for a few seconds at a time, even with blutooth disarmed. The setup still becomes painful after several minutes of use, more so when on-line. Any witness can see my face turn red following short exposure to EMF. My face now burns constantly since smart meters were installed in the neighborhood. I visited my MD the same week they were installed, when he prescribed a topical ointment for Rosacia, because my face was beet red. At the time I wasn't aware the SMs were commissioned. I've become a…

26110078225 https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filing/26110078225 Please create meaningful EMF standards. Good effects will redound in human health and our beloved natural world, and will stimulate our economy. Of course you are familiar with the U.S. National Toxicology Program’s 2018 “most extensive study to date,” determining that cell phone emissions cause tumors in male rats and DNA damage. https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/whatwestudy/topics/cellphones/index.html?utm_source=direct&utm_medium=prod&utm_campaign=ntpgolinks&utm_term=cellphone Immediately addressing the exposure of our school children seems a natural priority. My own story: Awareness of EMF sensitivity came to me after 54 years of age. Perhaps that’s when SmartMeters and a nearby Verison hotspot came in, or — as effects are cumulative — maybe that’s when my bucket overflowed, so to speak. My sensitivity spiked on a single day, after a medical test that day. Thereafter, there was no place in my house I could sleep before purchasing a sleep canopy — which is fragile, difficult to maintain, and does not stop all EMFs. And I continued to lose health from daytime exposure. I had a breast cancer operation in 2008, and was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease thereafter. I sold that house and moved. As you doubtless know, there are many, many symptoms which vary per human body and source, focus, direction, timing, and power of signal or flow. I seem sensitive to all three types of EMFs. Inability to sleep and feeling unwell are perhaps the words to describe my most abiding symptoms. Before selling my unhealthy house, from which I couldn’t move before finding a healthy place, I got down to 88 pounds (height 5’5”) despite eating 5000-6000 calories a day. After four years of recovery in a healthy-EMFwise location, seldom venturing into the world, I’m back at 120 pounds and feeling good. Hashimotos disease has disappeared. But my EMF sensitivity continues to grow, despite my seeking medical and energetic cures. I am unable to withstand exposure in work places, so I can’t work; a doctor exempted me from jury duty; I am grateful for protective film in my car windows. I laugh: I am one of the few to benefit from Covid…

This issue matters to me personally because: As a beekeeper, I have personally seen the effects of 5g wireless radiation on our pollinators. We had a 5g tower installed less than 5 miles away several years ago. After the towers installation, I began to have excessive bee colony deaths over the winter. This had not been an issue with my colonies prior to the towers installation. In addition, to the bee losses, I began to experience an increase in headaches when at home. As a nurse, I began to do research and learned there is emerging evidence of the health implications for both animals and humans from 5G technology. I was appalled at how…

26110078212 https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filing/26110078212 Besides tinnitus proliferation and NEPA requests last decade to FCC for studies showing EMF safety, which both "bought" parties blew off for profit..... re Cell phone EMF’s (ElectroMagnetic Frequencies) and their serious impacts I sort of jokingly initially referred to the problems of isolation, narcissism, "anti-"social media vs actual direct communication, general dumb-downing, etc., initiated primarily by intro of common cell use in the early 2000's, by referencing the owners’ "addicting" cell phones ( which I call StupidPhones or ViewBlockers and do not use, while I do LOVE safe hardwired fiber optics and internet). It was only a few months ago now that I changed my own thinking about that somewhat meant to be a "teasing " term, "addictive". This is when I fully realized that these people are truly ADDICTED, and denial is one of the MAIN signs of addiction. Hence the question I have been too often asked, "How can you possibly live without one???" is not a casual sort of joke, but an honest but unacknowledged admission of genuine addiction. I have shared the following info with c 150+ different individuals and organizations and only 2 have ever brought the subject back up to me, one a lawyer friend, now convinced, who has argued in front of the Supreme Court in the past, and another, a nationally renowned ornithologist who said he would now add this threat to insects, in particular, outlined below to his already existing list of 1) habitat loss , 2) overuse of herbi-pesticides (which I have battled against alone and with my students for decades), and 3) climate change (a pathetically self-exculpatory abstracted term for those in our world-exploiting “consumer culture”) From a recent search "EMF harms to Insects" PLENTY to look at..... if one looks Here are a first few This first one below reiterates the dearth of focused newer studies ( due to unwillingness of cell addicts, + Telecom influence to obfuscate and squelch). My "anecdotal" evidence of YEARS (2009 until 5G arrival in early '23) of ALWAYS seeing probably hundreds of honey and other bees, + other insects, EVERY time I would go on a run through…
