I have been injured and have a medical diagnosis of injury and disability from exposure from RF EMF from a cell tower base station, and it has upended my life, given me migraine like blinding ice pick headaches, nausea, dizziness, palpitations, insomnia and forced me from my home, having to sleep in my car and in makeshift accommodation to avoid exposure to let my body recover.

RF EMF is a hazard, carcinogen, nuisance and toxin- and we do not consent to ourselves or our children or our neighbors being involuntarily exposed.
Soon we learned this was the story of many communities and individuals who had a wireless facility constructed near them or on their apartment buildings or school.
I have been injured and have a medical diagnosis of injury and disability from exposure from RF EMF from a cell tower base station, and it has upended my life, given me migraine like blinding ice pick headaches, nausea, dizziness, palpitations, insomnia and forced me from my home, having to sleep in my car and in makeshift accommodation to avoid exposure to let my body recover.
Biological health and safety must be accounted for when placing cell towers- currently it is not.
Those injured by cell towers and smart meters should not be considered "collateral damage" and "the cost of doing business" as we were called.
We must hire attorneys, provide medical documentation and go through the test of if the accommodation to have a low RF environment is reasonable or not.
Yet the FCC argues this is safe because the levels measured in my neighborhood are a small percentage of the FCC's antiquated 1996 exposure standards based on 80's science before the smartphone was invented and before towers were widespread.
We have been in litigation for over six years, more recently in the Supreme Judicial Court, who less than three months ago ruled that a uniform network is more important than the health and safety of those living in communities with wireless base stations- despite the science, the testimony of our doctors and subject matter experts and our lived experiences of injury and harm.
This is backed up by studies of symptoms near cell towers, which return to normal baseline levels of illness at around 1640 feet.
26110083552 https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filing/26110083552 Biological health and safety must be accounted for when placing cell towers- currently it is not. The FCC is not a health and safety agency, nor are they versed in biological harms from exposure to RF EMF from wireless base stations and devices. I have been injured and have a medical diagnosis of injury and disability from exposure from RF EMF from a cell tower base station, and it has upended my life, given me migraine like blinding ice pick headaches, nausea, dizziness, palpitations, insomnia and forced me from my home, having to sleep in my car and in makeshift accommodation to avoid exposure to let my body recover. Those injured by cell towers and smart meters should not be considered "collateral damage" and "the cost of doing business" as we were called. Health and safety cannot be guaranteed, and this docket shows the science and mechanism of harm. Those sharing their stories are the evidence of this harm and we deserve to be protected, assisted and made whole. The FCC does not track those injured by wireless. There is no registry, no avenue for redress or avenue to be made whole. In our case, our home was rendered uninhabitable by our Board of Health due to the nuisance, toxin and hazard emitted from the wireless transmitting facility built at the top of our neighborhood. We have been in litigation for over six years, more recently in the Supreme Judicial Court, who less than three months ago ruled that a uniform network is more important than the health and safety of those living in communities with wireless base stations- despite the science, the testimony of our doctors and subject matter experts and our lived experiences of injury and harm. The FCC prevents health and safety from being considered when siting a tower- but what is worse is those injured once the tower starts transmitting have no recourse. In my neighborhood, a resident commented that when she learned about the tower she had no feelings either way, but started developing insomnia and headaches once it started transmitting. She spent time at her boyfriend's house not near a base station and the insomnia and headache resolved. She…

26110083542 https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filing/26110083542 I am a concerned Indigenous American, Creek Nation, and a Board Director of the Community and Friends of Seattle-Tacoma Pet Cemetery, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. I submit these comments as an individual, not on behalf of the organization. I am a community member and advocate who is directly affected by a 100-foot industrial AT&T cell tower sited in a historic human and pet cemetery, and I write from firsthand experience. I have followed the permitting and legal record closely. The situation. The historic Seattle-Tacoma Pet Cemetery est. 1950 on Kent's West Hill is located in unincorporated South King County, Kent, Washington, in a community of color, immigrants, refugees, and low-income households. Humans, pets, K-9 officers, and service animals are buried here, some as whole families. Many cultural traditions exist here. In Indigenous cultures and spiritual traditions, animals are regarded as equally important as humans, deserving of the same dignity, honor, and respect in life and death. I hold that humans and animals call for the same and equal respect in life and death. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Crown Castle installed a 100-foot industrial AT&T cell tower inside active Burial Block 13 with graves and mourners and 115 feet from neighboring homes in opposition to cemetery patrons, neighbors, and community members at large. It was installed in the wrong zone without a conditional use permit, in violation of King County Code and Washington State cemetery law. Additionally, Crown Castle did not disclose the human burials or the cemetery's historic significance on its permit application, and the project was pushed through the King County Department of Permitting and Environmental Review without addressing them. I have opposed its placement and operation since 2019. Why this matters to the issues before the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

2.That with decades of evidence of harm it very overdue to upgrade the carcinogenic grade level of EMR to Definitely Carcinogenic or may be even worse than that.

I had an event where I had to sit on my analog water meter out in the hot FL sun to preserve it or get regularly radiated my a nearby cell tower of 1K uw/m2, which could be inappropriately changed without notice.
3.That everyone needs to be educated, trained and simply explained with proof to turn off RF at night, keep devices off your body and hard wire all devices at a minimum.

Here is one study I believe the FCC should review when addressing the concerns about wireless radiation: Panagopoulos et al.
26110083537 https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filing/26110083537 This issue matters to me personally: The most safe eletromagnetic radiation (EMR) is 1.0 uw/m2 according to the Building Biology Institute (BBI) but can be workable in the day time only up to 10.0 uw/m2 maximum. Therefore, anything beyond is a detriment to thriving and wellness. Of the 4 EMR frequencies I am only speaking of the radio frequency (RF) today. I had an event where I had to sit on my analog water meter out in the hot FL sun to preserve it or get regularly radiated my a nearby cell tower of 1K uw/m2, which could be inappropriately changed without notice. It was totally detrimental and unsafe for me. The whole event was very scary with 3 men towering over me, while I was on the ground, including a sheriff that I said to all do not touch me being a small, slight woman. It was very stressful, disturbing and fortunately being informed ahead of time I was at home. They attempted to talk me into moving but I did not and they eventually left. Gratefully I still have that analog meter, which the water company physically reads and bills as usual. I am asking: 1.That these EMR responsibilities be taken over my appropriate departments, such as the U.S Deptment of Health and Human Services, which contain doctors, health practitioners, building biologists, electrical engineers and the like who have expertise in these areas without prejudice and are regularly audited. 2.That with decades of evidence of harm it very overdue to upgrade the carcinogenic grade level of EMR to Definitely Carcinogenic or may be even worse than that. 3.That everyone needs to be educated, trained and simply explained with proof to turn off RF at night, keep devices off your body and hard wire all devices at a minimum. 4.That with the RF boundary-less invasion through over densification of cell tower RF and surveillance that need to be re-purposed to emit healthful, rejuvenating output. Here is one study I believe the FCC should review when addressing the concerns about wireless radiation: Panagopoulos et al.
