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].

My house is located between two of those 5G antennas and it makes me feel very nervous and upset about intrusion of those objects on my life and my family's

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.

We recently converted our internet service to underground cable because I was forced to use a by-pass mechanism on my laptop to minimize radiation...that risk has now been minimized yet we still live within 1/2 mile of 3 5G towers which I can essentially do nothing about! In addition, one of the towers recently added more cells which is also frustrating. Please tell me when "enough 5G or radiation" is enough? We are burning the brains of our youth for what...and for whom?! These are our future leaders - or trying to be!

After losing 3 close friends to Brain tumors recently, I am concerned that it may be a result of wireless radiation exposure. Please limit and regulate EMFs!!

Just read the book or the beginning of the book (the invisible Rainbow) and you’ll be shocked just as I was

Dear HHS,

I worked at Intel on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth adapters. I know firsthand that I can't think as clearly when I'm around large concentrations of wireless devices. No, that's not because I'm looking at a screen; just being in their presence makes me foggy. There have been studies where they measure intelligence with and without a Bluetooth headset, and every time the headset is in, their intelligence drops; remove the cause, and intelligence resumes. That's a short-term effect. The long-term effect is headaches, reduced productivity, and various cancers around the location of exposure.

Wireless solutions have no place in our public schools. There's no reason computers, tablets, and cell phones can't be plugged in. In fact, you should require that all cell phones and tablets sold after 2028 include a coupon for a free wired Ethernet dongle and are capable of receiving calls and texts over a wired connection. Every product the size of a wallet and larger needs to be required to have an Ethernet port; that way, everyone has options.

Not only that, but we have too much technology in our airways. Older technologies like AM/FM, broadcast television, 2G and 3G cellular need to be discontinued. This will help clean up our airspace a bit. In addition, smart meters were never a good solution, and anyone who requests a replacement should be offered an Ethernet-capable replacement. If a residence doesn't have wired Ethernet, the meter can also connect to Wi-Fi. There's no reason to still have a different radio frequency broadcasting one that gets little use, but is transmitting all the time in any case.

Would you please help us minimize our exposure?

Sincerely,

Christian Blackburn

Have had endless migraine headaches since Con Ed installed 182 smart meters under my floor in the basement. Will be forced to move out of new york city because nobody cares. short wave radiation is lethal. you are killing everyone with cancer and you need to stop it.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. Neurosurgeon Dr. Jack Kruse views wireless radiation—cell phones, Wi-Fi, 5G, and other man-made “non-native electromagnetic fields” (nnEMF or non-native EMF)—as a major driver of modern disease through disruption of mitochondrial function, cellular water structure, circadian timing, and quantum biological processes. Robert O. Becker's work found proved these same drivers of disease. Kruse emphasizes non-thermal (not just heating) effects and links them to quantum biology: Mitochondrial dysfunction and water disruption: nnEMF impairs mitochondrial water production, causes cellular dehydration, increases reactive oxygen species, raises mitochondrial heteroplasmy, and reduces energy efficiency. Water is described as a carrier of electromagnetic information from the sun into cells; microwaves and nnEMF disrupt this. Stress response and signaling: It triggers a massive cellular stress response mimicking leptin resistance, a heart attack, or panic attack. It can cause chronic sympathetic nervous system overdrive (“microwave sickness” described in older Russian literature), leading to poor sleep, adrenal issues, cardiovascular problems, and more. Calcium signaling, DNA, and other effects: Interference with calcium secondary messengers, non-linear DNA damage, disruption of synchronization with the Earth’s magnetic field, and impaired cellular timing/coherence. Reproductive and developmental impacts: Kruse specifically warns against keeping phones in front pockets, citing potential effects on sperm, testosterone, and germ cells (with implications for offspring). He has discussed fertility concerns more broadly in the context of device proximity and urban/wireless environments. Kruse frequently references the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) animal studies (showing associations with certain tumors in rats from cell-phone-type RF radiation) and older Russian research on microwave effects, arguing that safety standards based only on thermal effects are inadequate. the negative health impacts of…

I am responding from the perspective of a homemaker wife.

Wireless radiation has created created chronic fatigue in my husband since we sleep right next to a home meter and iphone. His quality of life has been greatly compromised and we have plans to move after his fatigue dissipated when we lived in Italy for three months. I hope you recognize that we are being poisoned with EMF's everywhere. IT MUST END!

Five years ago, I experienced random (or so I thought) heart irregularities that I had not experienced before. I could not find the source. Then I started researching 5G towers and the effect they--and related technologies--were affecting people. I dug deeply. I even hired someone who was expert at discovering if and how much radiation was being absorbed in people's bodies (when exposed) and how much radiation was in various environments. Come to find out that my body was absorbing a great deal of radiation! Then discovered that there was a 5G tower aligned with the window in my bedroom! I then purchased a specialized blanket and equipment to mitigate that exposure and ultimately moved to a semi-rural area with no proximity to such towers and myu heart fluctuations ceased!

I therefore 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.

Wireless radiation is not harmless, as proven by scientific studies demonstrating the cellular damage the human body can sustain due to exposure, increased cancer risk after repeated exposure, and as evidenced by many fire departments refusing to consent to cell antennae on their structures, or within a certain distance from their structures. Please ensure the safety of American citizens by listening to the science and responding to it.

I teach the dangers on wireless radiation, have done a 4-hour podcast on the subject, and mitigate EMF like my life depends on it.... because it does

I am responding from the perspective of both someone who has been harmed by electromagnetic radiation, and from the perspective as a health care provider. When NY State installed a "smart" meter on my home in Rockland County many years ago, they did so right outside my bedroom window, about 4 feet from where my head was each night in my bed. Soon after, I began waking up early in the morning with shortness of breath and feeling like I was having a panic attack. I had never had a panic attack in my life and didn't even ever have anxiety. I would jump out of bed and run out the front door gasping for air. After a few minutes in fresh air, on the opposite side of the house, the symptoms would subside. This happened every night when I slept in my house. If I slept elsewhere, it didn't happen. Eventually I moved from that house. I now live in Massachusetts where Eversource is in the process of installing "smart" meters on all houses in the state. If we opt out, we have to pay $34/month for someone to come read our meter. The cost of living in Massachusetts is already insanely high and I will not be able to opt out. I have told Eversource this. I have told them I know from prior experience that I know RF makes me ill, and they say these are my only choices.

When I educate parents about their children and EMFs, I always make sure that they are aware that wireless radiation is not harmless and that they have to take precautions, especially for their small, young children.

Please help us out with this issue. It's exhausting and maddening trying to go up against these big corporations by ourselves.

Thank you for your help.

SERIOUSLY? Everyone I know understands the dangers of EMFs and WIFI Radiation exposure. It's been studied. We all know of the harm it can and does cause to human bodies. We don't really need years of study by agencies that are simply trying to push through more detrimental stuff on the public. But, if you really need us to tell you we're against this radiation exposure ... here it is. STOP POISONING US!!! Enough is enough. We know what we know and so do you all. We saw all the phony research on autism, covid, vaccines, etc. I could tell 35 years ago that SIDS was mostly due to vaccines on babies at 2, 4 and 6 month olds. Yet, here we are and the "experts" are still arguing that obvious link. Let's not take any more time to handle this radiation exposure risk to us all. Let's get it regulated NOW!!! Please!!!!

Hello, I am submitting a comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I live in Eugene, Oregon. About 2 years ago, our electric company forced everyone to have a SMART meter installed on their homes. I tried to request an analog meter but was denied. I have friends that would not allow them on the property, and their electricity was shut off and threats of arrest until they complied. I was given the option to opt out of the signal, which I have to pay extra for. They say the extra cost is for sending out meter readers, but I have always paid for this service. Since the SMART meter installation, even though I have the signal turned off there is still dirty electricity throughout my entire home, and I have difficulty breathing and difficulty sleeping through the night. I have spoken at multiple board meetings about the adverse health effects of the SMART meter, asking for the option of an analog meter, but am told that I will never be given that option because the electric company owns the meter. I am also a mother of 4 children. One of my daughters has chronic headaches when she is at school. She says that it is from being on computers all day long. We have hard-wired internet at home, and she does not experience headaches when using the computer at home. Please advocate for people to make their own choices with their home environment. Also, fiber optics is used in our home for internet, and it is very effective when used in schools overseas, not exposing our children to harmful EMFs all day long.

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.

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.

We started noticing ringing in the ears a decade ago, seems it goes up when we pass a 5G , 4 or 3g towers. Why does this happen and Why are these towers only on school campuses or close proximity? Seems something needs to be done with studies on these towers long before humans are exposed to them, especially our very young kiddos! I’ve seen many towers on preschool areas! Shame on telecom companies and cities to allow this to happen

Wireless Radiation Exposure is a known carcinogen. I have experienced the detrimental effects of these exposures, and so has my family. Our nervouse systems, sleep cycles, cognitive abilities are negatively impacted. Symptoms of these deleterious exposures include anxiety, headaches, restlessness, sleeplessness, brain fog, arthritis/joint pain, and more. Please protect humanity from these manmade harmful fields/radiation. It is your job.

I live near a 5G tower and it's a nightmare. Can't sleep, have headaches all the time, every day. I feel dizzy sometimes.
