Dear HHS, I am submitting to the docket and collection of information regarding the biological effects of Electromagnetic fields (EMF’s) and Radio Frequency (RF) and your question: Public Experiences and Reported Potential Adverse Health Effects. My wife suffers from medically documented biological impacts from wireless radiation and electromagnetic fields. I have watched her deal with physical symptoms every time she leaves our hardwired shielded home. The effects from the ever increasing wireless radiation in all environments, have literally turned our lives upside down. Exposure to cell signals, wireless products and infrastructure triggers immediate physical reactions and because of this she cannot work outside the house or be safe in public spaces, making basic errands and social outings very challenging and sometimes even impossible. To hlep mitigate this, we spend thousands of dollars out of pocket on specialized gear—such as shielding clothing, RF meters, protective sleeping canopies, and monthly utility fees to opt out of smart meters. Everything in our home and life including all new purchases have to be manually modified or hardwired and RF/EMF safe. This requires endless research and work just to maintain a safe living space. The science on the biological impacts of RF and EMF is clear; science, the government and the industry have known about the biological effects for decades, there are thousands of studies. Our allowable exposure levels here in the U.S are too high, several times higher than many other countries and it is time for our regulatory agencies, our legislators and telecom to take the steps to fully address our outdated emission standards, their biological impacts and to make our technology safer. This is an engineering, policy and willingness matter. The engineering solutions and ability exists, the industry is not going to take this turn towards instituting more safety unless they are required to by the federal government, Our regulatory agencies and our legislators simply have to be willing to move into meaningfully regulating this multi trillion dollar industry and driving economic engine, something that has not been done since the…

RFI response on 10-20-26 by Dan Harrison

refers to Requirements document: https://www.regulations.gov/document/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0001

This RFI response is based on peer-reviewed research and Engineering knwledge,

Executive Summary

It’s well known, to EMF Engineers, that Near-field radiation can bring very intense radiation within inches to human organs (i.e. Brain, auditory channel, Eye, etc. ) primarily because being within particular frequency wavelengths and close proximity antennas can concentrate radiated energy to organ structures.

In 4-7-2023, Dr. Lai published a paper: Henry Lai* and B. Blake Levitt, Cellular and molecular effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields, Environ Health 2024; 39(3): 519–529 { https://doi.org/10.1515/reveh-2023-0023 } .

This paper integrates much knowledge gained over several decades in bio-electromagnetic research and points to a likely unifying mechanism which explains both the many adverse and beneficial effects seen with exposure to man-made EMFs. Dr. Lai paper cites many other studies over +44 years

Most of the RFI responses (below) reference Dr. Lai paper, which I Dan Harrison felt it necessary to submit this relevant RFI to HHS {HHS–OASH–2026–0397}.

Thanks for soliciting input for this important matter. As a writer and researcher, I have looked into the health effects of EMF on human health for many years. The FCC and HHS in my opinion have not done nearly enough work to ascertain the health effects on human populations. The pervasive increases in the power levels and scope of EMF radiation are likely responsible for many medical problems but overall this remains poorly documented. In addition, there needs to be far more research done on this issue and more acknowledgement of the research that has been done to date such as the WHO’s identification of EMF as a possible carcinogen. I sincerely hope both the FCC and HHS will update very outdated health standards about the use of 5G technology to reflect the current research and place far less emphasis on research that has been sponsored by the wireless industry.

I think cell phones need to be banned. All they do is put out EMF radiation after years and years and years of having these stupid things I think we need to all go back to Landlines and answering machines. The kids have lost all social skills there’s headaches my son even stays up all night long and he’s 13 because he’s addicted to the thing. And then can’t get him up in the morning to go to school because of lack of sleep. He complains of headaches he complains of his eyes hurting, and I tell him is the white light on the cell phones. He sleeps with that thing by his head and there’s been a lot of articles about brain cancer and using your phones where it’s under 30% all it does is put out radiation. They need to be banned. They need to not be allowed in school and I know the schools are saying they have band the Esco the kids are still sneaking out their backpacks and using them my son tells me stories about it just like the vaping someone needs to do something about vaping at school that needs to stop cause they’re doing it in the bathroom.

Original comment · unedited text

EMF has had a very adverse affect on my body, particularly after "smart meter" was added to my home without my knowledge. The meter is on a wall adjacent to my living room, and I'm unable to spend a lot of time in my living room because of it. There is constant pain in my right shoulder and I suffer with digestive issues that are related to EMF exposure. Sleep deprivation is also a problem I have that's related to EMF exposure. Sometimes what is deemed as progress is detrimental to the biological and physiological nature of the human race. EMF is one of those things and it's forcing people to live off-grid.

I have been affected by living in a house with black mold. along with living within less than half a mile from a 5G Tower .03 mil from my house in Decatur, Illinois. They also had installed a "Smart wireless meter" in the room I was in. Now I am Electro-Sensitive for 20 years, progressively getting worse over a 20 year span. I currently have to live outside the cities and towns, and away from cell towers and without electricity. It's very difficult to survive. Every day is a fight for my life and I cannot stay inside the cities for very long periods at a time. It makes surviving and living more difficult and has not been easy to deal with this way of life. For 4 years I have lived outside of the cities and towns, completely. Before that I was still inside the city while my symptoms continued to get worse. I currently am in the forest and mountains. This has not been easy to find a solution to or heal from, i have tried many different things, but not much has worked. It continues to be the biggest challenge I have faced, having severe symptoms associated with EMF's and Microwaves, Electric & Magnetic fields. I do not have much help and every day is a struggle. Thank you for reading my comment.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure.

I am responding from the perspective of a [patient, parent, family member, caregiver, healthcare professional, researcher, advocate, concerned member of the public, or other].

PERSONALIZE YOUR COMMENT HERE: Tell HHS how wireless radiation has affected you, your child, your family, or someone you care about. You may describe the source and duration of the exposure, health effects experienced, when they began, whether reducing exposure made a difference, and how these experiences have affected daily life. If you are an ally, describe why you support people affected by wireless radiation and why you believe HHS should address this issue.

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.

Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

Original comment · unedited text

To whom it concerns,

Ever since 5 G was turned on in my area on February 2020 my ears and my wife’s ears have been ringing nonstop ever since. I know this is from the 5 G being implemented. Even my smart phone hurts my hands after it starts to ping back at the cell phone towers. The hurt is bad enough I drop my phone immediately to stop the intense pain shooting in my hands. The brain fog has been going on for the same amount of time ever since February of 2020. We need up to date facts on EMF radiation poisoning. We need doctors able to recognize these symptoms and condition. We need laws to restrict the harmful amounts that are being broadcast through our airwaves. We need to hold the producers of this kind of poison/pollution accountable, fined, and/or imprisoned. Life for me is unbearable since February of 2020. The ringing in my head is bad enough that I often question why do we need this???? We got along just fine with 4 G. Now I learn that they are thinking of turning loose 6 G. I hope and pray they never do this for I believe that 6 G will be the end of me. Presently 5 G is driving me to the edge of insanity, 6 G would topple that and end any form of relief for me .

Sincerely,

Dr John H.

Case closed.

Abstract

A mind controller is disclosed. The mind controller can induce a user's brain waves into an alpha wave state or a theta wave state by sensing and analyzing human brain waves and then transmitting a mind control audio message suitable for the analyzed human brain waves to the user, so that the user can improve mental concentration power or memory for himself/herself. The mind controller for activating brain waves generated from the user's brain, includes: an EEG(Electroencephalogram) sensor for sensing frequency band corresponding to alpha waves and theta waves from the brain waves generated from the user's brain; an MCU(Memory Control Unit) for analyzing whether the brain waves sensed by the EEG sensor are alpha waves or theta waves through a built-in program of a brain wave analysis program pack and controlling output of a message, which corresponds to the alpha waves or the theta waves, out of mind control audio messages of an MP3 pack; an audio decoder for demodulating signal converted into data in the MP3 pack by control signal output from the MCU; a D/A converter for receiving signal provided from the audio decoder and converting the signal into analog audio signal; and audio output means for converting and providing the analog audio signal into sound.

'The number of studies showing adverse effects on living organisms induced by different types of man-made Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) has increased tremendously. Hundreds of peer reviewed published studies show a variety of effects, the most important being DNA damage which is linked to cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, reproductive declines etc. Those studies that are far more effective in showing effects employ real-life Mobile Telephony (MT) exposures emitted by commercially available mobile phones. The present review - of results published by my group from 2006 until 2016 - compares DNA fragmentation induced by six different EMFs on the same biological system - the oogenesis of Drosophila melanogaster - under identical conditions and procedures. Such a direct comparison between different EMFs - especially those employed in daily life - on the same biological endpoint, is very useful for drawing conclusions on their bioactivity, and novel. It shows that real MT EMFs are far more damaging than 50 Hz alternating magnetic field (MF) - similar or much stronger to those of power lines - or a pulsed electric field (PEF) found before to increase fertility. The MT EMFs were significantly more bioactive even for much shorter exposure durations than the other EMFs. Moreover, they were more damaging than previously tested cytotoxic agents like certain chemicals, starvation, dehydration. Individual parameters of the real MT EMFs like intensity, frequency, exposure duration, polarization, pulsing, modulation, are discussed in terms of their role in bioactivity. The crucial parameter for the intense bioactivity seems to be the extreme variability of the polarized MT signals, mainly due to the large unpredictable intensity changes. The number of published peer review studies showing DNA damage and related effects induced by Radio Frequency (RF)/microwave Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), especially by Mobile Telephony (MT) EMFs, on a variety of organisms/cell types under different experimental conditions is increased considerably in recent years [1–36], in spite of attempts to dispute some of them [37–39]. Specifically, the damage on reproductive cells of different…

Original comment · unedited text

This comment is about the blue wavelength visible light spectrum of LED lights emitted by most vehicles on American roadways today. The blue-white light is way, way too bright, too harsh, and too blue for our roads. Not only are the lights too blue and too bright, but they also point too high. We now have lifted pickup trucks, long-haul semis, and jeeps that are blasting this sharp blue-white light directly into the mirrors of sedans. Lower-to-the-ground vehicles, such as Teslas, Audis, and BMWs have their lights pointed too high as well. When this is combined with the intensity, color, and sharpness of the light, it makes driving on the road at night unmanageable.

I am one of over 80,000 victims who have submitted a petition to change our laws surrounding blue-white LED lights on our roadways. There are many, many more who are victims as well. The rise of use of these lights has changed my life, keeping me from using the roads after sunset. I would like to use America's roads at night once again.

Thank you for your time.

2. Individual. 3. I could write a book! Houston 2025 to 2021. RFI and EMFs making life extremely difficult for 20 years. I live in Florida now. I bought a meter though I know monitoring what [they] are doing to me doesn’t stop it. I’ve felt the attacks mostly on my head, headaches, difficulty concentrating, ears ringing, lethargic, feeling the torture turn on. Also, I have had many years where I get pin holes in my skin, if I am outside for an extended length of time. I have documented much of the torture with pictures but there is no way to document it all for 20 years. My cell phone constantly sets off the meter. Trip to Nebraska in 2010, [they] destroyed this trip, [they] destroyed the opportunity to have a relationship with my cousin’s stepdaughter, a very nice black woman. We were talking and getting to know each other, exchanging phone numbers the day we met and the next day she wouldn’t even look at me. A very common sequence of events for the past 20 years. People are nice to me the first time I meet them and always followed by a negative reaction. Also, [they] placed my seating card nearest to the wall so that the wait staff had to crowd my chair and had the opportunity to harass me over and over and over until I moved my chair so [they] couldn’t do it any longer. FUSION CENTERS. CRIME VICTIM OF REVENGE PORN (I have not seen it, but men always assume the same things, their comments are similar.
