I am responding from the perspective of a patient, parent, family member, caregiver and concerned member of the public.
Since 5G became a part of our lives, I frequently get severe headaches that last over 24 hours at a time. I used to be able to multi task but I have a hard time even organizing my thoughts and concentrating on more than one thing at a time. I have developed auto immune disorders and skin rashes .
As a parent...my daughter is also having horrible headaches and rashes that she never had before.
As a caregiver..I watched my mom experience extreme migraine headaches,, mysterious skin rashes, cancer and severe cognitive failure.
I know many people that are having the same problems from wireless radiation. Quality of life has drastically reduced to being constantly ill and suffering . Now they want to bring in 6G? That is insane. We are just lab rats they experiment on.
HHS needs to immediately take an active role in examining the health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should have been addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should have been considered alongside the scientific evidence. Many people are suffering unnecessarily. Something needs to be done NOW to protect lives .
I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.

I am responding from the perspective of a patient as well as a parent.
I was harmed by EMF’s back in 2022 after getting a Traumatic Brain Injury ( TBI) . After 1 year of OT and PT 3 days a week for 1-1/2 years and not getting better, my doctor sent me to a functional medicine doctor who did testing and realized I had an overload of EMF’s from a few factors including living next to a 5G pole and wearing earbuds frequently. I had no idea. I’ve done significant remediation of my home and started feeling better quickly. My son was having symptoms as well.

Thank you for opening this RFI. As a parent and regular person living in a world full of wireless devices, I’m glad HHS is finally taking a closer look at RF/EMF exposure and health—especially for kids.
The science isn’t black and white. Most large studies and reviews (including recent WHO ones) don’t show clear harm from everyday exposures under current limits. But there are still real gaps: the NTP animal studies raised questions, kids absorb more radiation than adults, and we don’t have enough long-term data on constant low-level exposure from phones, Wi-Fi, 5G, and everything else we’re surrounded by.
I’d like to see more independent research focused on children, better exposure measurement in real homes and schools, and simple practical advice families can actually use while the science catches up. Current limits are old. It would help to compare them honestly with other countries and decide whether they still make sense.
Please keep the process transparent and put kids first. Wireless tech isn’t going a

October 16, 2026 To: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Subject: Request for Independent Review of 5G Tower Siting and RF Safety Standards Dear HHS Officials, My name is Jill Boan, and I am a homeowner in rural Nevada County, California. I strongly oppose a proposed 5G cell tower planned within approximately 100 yards of our home and even closer to some of our neighbors. Our community has raised serious questions about long-term health effects, environmental impacts, and the wisdom of placing this infrastructure so close to homes. We have attended hearing after hearing, yet we feel that our concerns are not being heard or meaningfully addressed. Part of the problem is federal law. Under Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, local governments generally cannot deny wireless facilities based on the environmental effects of radiofrequency (RF) emissions if the facilities comply with FCC regulations. This leaves county officials with limited authority to address the very health concerns that matter most to residents. Meanwhile, the FCC’s core RF exposure guidelines date back to 1996, before today’s widespread 5G deployment and extensive use of wireless devices. In 2021, a federal appeals court ordered the FCC to better explain its decision to retain those guidelines, including how it considered evidence involving children, long-term exposure, non-cancer effects, and the environment. I am not claiming that every possible health effect has been established. I am asking for an independent, up-to-date scientific evaluation that residents can trust. I urge HHS to: 1. Review current research on long-term and cumulative RF exposure, including exposure from 5G towers near homes. 2. Determine whether existing limits adequately protect children, pregnant women, and other potentially vulnerable people, including those reporting sensitivity to RF exposure. 3. Assess potential environmental impacts, including effects on wildlife. 4. Recommend updated health-protective exposure standards and evidence-based setbacks from homes, schools, and childcare facilities where warranted by the science. 5. Advise Congress and federal regulators on changes that would…

My Personal Experience I am submitting this comment as an individual member of the public, sharing my personal experience and concerns about potential RF-EMF health effects. My health problems began gradually and eventually seriously impaired my daily life. I experienced severe sleep disturbances, headaches, visual disturbances, memory and concentration problems, cognitive fog, digestive issues, exhaustion, and anxiety. Medical examinations did not identify an explanation. Only after becoming ill did I begin investigating possible environmental causes and measuring RF-EMF levels in my apartment. The measurements revealed levels approximately 1,000 times higher than at my parents' home in a remote location. Through this investigation, I identified a mobile phone base station on a neighboring building as the apparent main source. I subsequently confirmed the installation date directly with the telecom operator and learned that it preceded the development of my symptoms. After installing shielding curtains, my measurements showed levels approximately 500 times lower than before. Within two days, my headaches and digestive symptoms disappeared. My sleep, concentration, and general wellbeing subsequently improved substantially. Importantly, I did not identify the base station as a potential source until after I had become ill and begun investigating possible causes. My initial symptoms therefore preceded my identification of the suspected source. I recognize that this sequence of events cannot by itself prove causation, but the chronology, measurements, and subsequent improvement convinced me that RF-EMF exposure deserved serious investigation. Similar Experiences Reported by Others My experience is not unique. A 2024 review published in Reviews on Environmental Health summarized seven Swedish case reports involving 16 people who developed various symptoms shortly after nearby 5G base stations were installed. Reported symptoms included sleep disturbances, headaches, fatigue, concentration and memory problems, anxiety, and cardiovascular complaints. The authors reported that symptoms often diminished after the individuals moved away from the exposure. Although case…

Being in places where many people are using mobile phones is uncomfortable, even for short periods. I get headaches and feel sluggish and tired. I’ve become the person who frequently has to step outside for some fresh air. I am aware of the nocebo effect, and I try very hard to convince myself that I can tolerate some level of radiation. Without that, it would be impossible to live in today’s society.

5G is dangerous and being weaponized against the people in conjunction with the development of the Covid "vaccine" which is not a vaccine, but a bioterrorist invention without any positive medical value. The 5G frequency range is designated as military and is peculiar as such. The 5G can penetrate human tissue and can send signals of release to graphene oxide cages housing toxic poisons or pathogens from the Covid shot long ago. Three one minute bursts at around 18 gigahertz are designated to do this by unknown operatives in the rogue or deep state control of our government. It can be accomplished because the wavelength of the signal is so small such that the graphene tubular particle is tuned to this frequency range. 5G is a terrorist weapon in this regard as it can burst open the graphene, releasing the payload inside of it on signal. Such a payload may be of snake venom toxin or a virus or other biological particle. *** We do not need the high efficiency of speed of transmission of 5G in normal life blanketing every corner of space. It is not needed for simple tasks on a mobile basis. Serious needs can be done by coaxial cable or fiber optics and in secure ways which we already have and in use for a long time. The wavelengths of 1G and 2G were sufficient and worked. *** 5G is also a cancer and health risk well documented by others. The 5G tower has a range of up to 20 miles, yet there are so many of these towers crammed unnecessarily close together giving a blanket coverage polluted with electromagnetic radiation. 5G coverage is oversaturated. The cancer risk is significantly increased by this overbuilding of these towers. *** In conclusion 5G is a health risk and a tool prone to misuse by weaponisation. Kindly get rid of it.

I am an individual who has been struggling to stay functional due to EMF exposure. I have experienced insomnia, brain fog, and headaches since I was a teenager (about 20 years ago) all the way through my mid-20s and could not figure out why. During my 20s, I don't remember how I came across the topic of EMF hypersensitivity, but after some research and seeing how my symptoms matched, I decided to purchase a Faraday bag for my cell to see if that would help. For the first time my symptoms improved and I could sleep better.
I still struggle to function optimally at work since I have to be around people who have their cell on. Whenever I need to speak with someone at work, I would feel a bit disoriented and struggle to communicate clearly. I would stutter and scramble up my words.
If I spend more than about 30 minutes on my cell surfing the web or texting, I will experience a headache or brain fog and sluggishness. When I place my cell in a Faraday bag afterwards, the symptoms go away.
For awhile, keeping my cell in a Faraday bag has helped me sleep better, but during this past year something has changed because my insomnia returned. I also experience a slight burning sensation on my skin as I'm trying to fall asleep.
I really appreciate HHS looking further into this issue as it can be debilitating to some who are hypersensitive to EMFs. Thank you for opening this public comment opportunity.

I am responding from the perspective of a healthcare professional, advocate, concerned member of the public, and citizen suffering from EMF exposure.
I live in an apartment building and directly under my bedroom is the boiler room housing 60 smart meters for all the apartments and for the common areas of the building.
ConEdison continually monitors the smart meters and wakes me up numerous times every night. The EMfF energy causes me to not be able to experience deep restorative sleep; I experience blood pressure, palpitations and sweating during the exposure.
I recently retired from working as a Perdiem pharmacist because appropriate sleep is needed to be able to concentrate, dispense and verify prescriptions. HHS should require the energy companies to limit smart meters monitoring to daytime hours between 8am and 8pm.
I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence.
I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.
I would like to see prescription prescribing data comparing blood pressure med prescribing rates and insomnia medication prescribing rates during 2010 to 2019 before smart meters were installed and 2019 to 2027 after widespread smart meter usage. Guaranteed people are being diagnosed with blood pressure and insomnia that is being triggered by smart meter monitoring at night.
