Question 2.

While I have a background in Neuroscience (PhD) and Government Administration in Health Care, I am retired and these comments are submitted as a member of the Public who is sensitive to EMF.

Question 3

a. Mobile phone, Wi-Fi, wireless infrastructure

b. Daily- worse at night

c. Dizziness, vertigo, inner ear balance issues, earaches, acute episodes of tinnitus, sinus, fatigue, stiffness muscles and joints, headaches, sleep disturbances, breathlessness, dry cough, palpitations, tachycardia, chest pain, dry eyes, blurred vision, skin rashes, burning pain, memory issues, difficulty thinking- brain fog, pressure on head.

d. Symptoms began in Spring of 2020.

e. -

f. I no longer use a cell phone, turn Wi-Fi off at night, wear EMF protection clothing (e.g. HAVN). I purchased a 5G meter and tracked fields back to a local cell tower. House plants began dying, so I used meter to map out areas with lower field readings to change seating arrangements at home and stop plants from dying. Fields seem to accelerate mold growth and food spoilage. I got rid of newer, made in China, lamps and fans which had electric fields too high to measure. Everything has improved, health is slowly recovering, but symptoms are not completely eliminated.

Question 5

o. Electronic products, especially foreign-made in China, should be tested for EMF output before sold to consumers.

Question 10

c. Dying foliage around power lines and/or cell towers may be an indicator of levels that are too high. See attached photo.

Question 18

Would like to see studies on effect of EMF on cellular communication, mitochondria.

Establishment of EMF free zones for sensitive people.

It has been suggested that EMF causes mold to increase growth and mycotoxin production. My observation of food and/or plants molding overnight supports the idea of an effect on food spoilage.
