Am grateful to hear that EMF exposure will be seriously researched.

I have a co-worker that worked in my office for 10 years - approx 10 feet away from her desk window is a power pole with multiple large lines going into it - not an average power pole. She began having mini seizures and was diagnosed with a rare, one of a kind type of epilepsy and was asked to be a study. Within 6 months, she moved to another job and all of her symptoms went away.

In the past year, a 5G tower was put up near our neighborhood. Both my husband and I have been experiencing extreme brain fog and forgetfulness and insomnia to an uncomfortable extreme. We have been otherwise healthy.

Makes me wonder about the utility box that is mounted just outside of our bedroom wall.

In-home wi-fi and wi-fi appliances - are there any studies on the effects of short and long-term exposure?

LED light bulbs - everywhere, since incandescent have been outlawed. I have seen reports that they have a blinking pattern similar to fluorescent lights. Are there studies on this?

Studies need to be done by independent health-minded agencies or non-profits.

Thank you for the opportunity give input.
