In 2011 I bought my first iPhone. I began to feel very ill. When I put the phone down I felt better. I got rid of the phone. I lived my life only being able to use technology in limited ways but it was manageable. In 2019 my workplace updated their WiFi throughout the building and I was no longer able to be inside the building. In 2020 as most 5G was installed, it was the drop that tipped the bucket for the radiation exposure my body could handle and I am no longer able to use a computer, go inside any public buildings with WiFi, homes with WiFi, cars with Bluetooth or be in the vicinity of any type of cell tower. My life is severely limited due to the sea of non-ionizing radiation we live in each day. I cannot work, go shopping, or visit friends or family without severe radiation sickness

I am now 62 years old and have been electrosensitive since I was 28, more than half my life.

In Sweden, this is silenced, doctors who want to help us get into trouble (for example, with their medical licenses revoked). I don't feel like you get any help.

I worked as a computer technician with a great interest in electronics. When I became electrosensitive.

When I was working around 1990, I got an NMT mobile phone installed in my car.

NMT was a big problem. I became sensitive to all electronics and solvents, etc.

I was on sick leave for 17 years. Then I had to start working in gardening and as a school janitor.

I got an ABC 80 computer early on, which I used to program a lot.

Before I got sick, my mouth was full of amalgam. I lived in an apartment with a printing shop underneath for a few years, and the apartment sometimes smelled of glue. I did my military service on a robot boat with asbestos insulation. And was exposed to a lot of radar. I tanned in a solarium and had a waterbed with sky-high electric fields. For a while, I may have had a mobile antenna outside my office where I worked on the outside of the house.

When I was programming in my youth, it sometimes happened that my brain would shut down (mental standstill. Before it broke out, I turned down the brightness on the TV. (contrast)

I had a cordless phone in the house where I worked. Someone had it before me and got sick. I don't know what it was from. When I got sick, it was during a course with a lot of computers. It was way too much.

I was very sensitive to regular wired phones, which we ended up with. I have a cell phone now but always use the speaker function.

I now take antidepressants that dampen the sensitivity.

I feel less sensitive to radar and wifi and cell phones today. It was a good thing that NMT was discontinued. I have the most sensitivity to power lines now, apart from all kinds of solvents. It was probably a good thing that they removed the lead in gasoline. I avoid cell phone towers as much as possible and exposing myself to too much.

There is a lot more I could cover, but this will have to do.

HHS should treat low-frequency magnetic emissions from television and monitor displays as an exposure in this docket, with children's programming first. Current radiofrequency limits are built on heating, specific absorption rate, and power density. They do not describe image-driven magnetic pulses in the band that overlaps the electroencephalogram. Laboratory work by W. Ross Adey and colleagues found frequency-specific changes in calcium binding in brain tissue at field levels that do not heat tissue. U.S. patents to Hendricus G. Loos claim that pulsed images on monitors and television tubes can excite sensory resonances near 1/2 Hz and 2.4 Hz. An observational analysis of the soundtrack of *Meet the Teletubbies* found intermittent energy below 20 Hz, strongest near minutes 51–54. That analysis does not establish a neurological effect or an intent. It does establish a concrete children's-media case. Speaker limits on airborne infrasound do not answer the magnetic-field question. I ask HHS, with FDA and in coordination with the FCC, to require measurement and disclosure of these emissions, to test them under realistic viewing, and to review whether subliminal-content policy covers the physical display. The source is the television or monitor and its associated electronics, driven by ordinary program material. The population I ask HHS to put first is children watching commercial programming, including *Meet the Teletubbies*. The quantity of concern is the extremely-low-frequency magnetic field produced by the display process: image-intensity changes, power circuitry, and, on older tubes, deflection systems. A common objection is that television speakers cannot produce meaningful airborne sound below 20 Hz. That objection answers a different question. Magnetic fields pass through tissue, induce electric fields in the body, and do not depend on the speaker's acoustic cutoff. An observational study of the full program *Meet the Teletubbies* (running time 1:01:43) built an ELF spectrogram of the soundtrack from 0 to 100 Hz and aligned it with the picture. Magnitude below 50 Hz and below 20 Hz was intermittent and at times dense. The strongest sustained cluster…

Question 14

What scientific evidence exists regarding potential adverse environmental effects associated with RF radiation?

Observation and documentation of trees in the vicinity of over 1,500 mobile phone base stations (2005 to 2026) and studies (2016, 2021) suggest a causal relationship between RF radiation and tree damage.

The reason for the tree observation:

After the Bamberg Appeal was published in 2004 – in which 130 medical doctors warned against expanding mobile phone networks – many residents living near mobile phone base stations contacted the initiative for help with health issues. We visited affected individuals at home, documented their symptoms, and took RF radiation measurements. We learned that many people became sick far below the legal limits. We urged all responsible authorities to start health investigations of the long-term-exposed residents. One example (see attached):

https://mdsafetech.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/cell-tower-letter-2005-dr.-cornelia-waldmann-selsam-to-german-state-chancellery-.pdf

But the desperately needed investigations have not been carried out.

During our visits, the affected residents showed us that changes and damage to the trees started around the same time as their symptoms appeared. People and trees got sick at the same time!

The tree damage was visible. Because we hoped to be able to show quickly the causal relationship between RF radiation and tree damage we started to document trees around mobile phone base stations.

Online businesses run websites selling fear of EMF. Googling “electrosmog” reveals many such revenue generators, all of which make baseless claims of alleged health effects and feature a prominent “DONATE” button. They do real harm by distracting from actual dangers (e.g., global warming). These sites most often focus on “opinion” studies with no dosimetry (no measurement of actual EMF exposure, just self-reported recollection of subjective proximity to devices) and no clinical assessment of very common symptoms they attribute without evidence to EMF. Claims of health effects with no actual dose measurements or clinical assessment is not credible. Some people believe they are “hypersensitive” to EMFs, but there’s no evidence to back it up; Rubin, G. James; Hillert, Lena; Nieto-Hernandez, Rosa; van Rongen, Eric; Oftedal, Gunnhild (December 2011). "Do people with idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields display physiological effects when exposed to electromagnetic fields?". Bioelectromagnetics. 32 (8): 593–609). Bioeffects from exposure to very high levels of microwave radiation are well understood (tissue heats up – basis of microwave cooking). Levels to which members of the public are exposed are far too low to have any effects. The recognized exposure limits adequately protect the public. Actual exposures are well below the exposure limits. See e.g., Bushberg JT and Butcher MJ. Measurement of ambient millimeter wave exposures levels around small base stations (January 2025). Health Physics 128(2):1-7. Those running “electrosmog” sites point to the “NTP study” as a scientific basis of their claims that cell phone radiation causes cancer. They refer to the 2018 National Toxicology Program Report on mice [https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/tr596] and rats [https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/tr595] exposed to RF used by cell phones. Rodents were exposed to levels near the public exposure limits for 9 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 2 years. These studies showed no statistically significant effects on female mice, male mice, or female rats, and a HUGE increase in life span for the exposed male rats. Thermal effects can explain the significant…

207 mW/cm² RF Exposure 24/7 on Elderly (See the attached PDF) October 20, 2026 Margarette Lisa Long 600 Coffman St. #220 Longmont, CO 80501 541-631-8907 Subject: Unequal Protection from RF Radiation in Longmont, CO Dear FCC and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Thank you for addressing this important manner to protect humanities health. Why do other countries protect the health of their citizens more than our great country? I am a resident of The Village on Main, a federally subsidized low-income housing complex in Longmont, Colorado. Our building is located directly across from a cell tower and experiences continuous radio frequency (RF) exposure, measured indoors at approximately 20.7 µW/cm², 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Through my research, I have discovered that government and civic buildings in the same area have been shielded from RF exposure (shown in green on the attached map), while residential and low-income housing buildings remain unshielded (shown in red), despite being much closer to the towers. This raises serious health and environmental justice concerns: Low-income, elderly, and disabled residents are left disproportionately exposed while protections are provided to government employees. The exposure in my building exceeds Russia’s national safety limit of 10 µW/cm² and is significantly above precautionary limits in other countries. The 2021 D.C. Circuit Court ruling (EHT v. FCC) found that the FCC failed to adequately review health impacts of chronic, low-level RF exposure, underscoring the need for state-level action. I respectfully request: The US adopts the precautionary principle including non-thermal effects standards like China, Italy, Poland, Russia and Eastern Europe of safety limit of 10 µW/cm² max. Also: An investigation into this unequal application of shielding protections. Equitable RF protections for residents of federally subsidized housing. Development of state-level RF exposure guidance that prioritizes vulnerable populations. Shielding technology already exists and has been applied — it must be applied equitably. Residents should not be treated as second-class citizens when it comes to health protections. After moving…
