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 concerned parent and individual who has been impacted by exposure to EMFs, and has seen the effect it has had on others. I have a degree from Yale University and have researched electromagnetic fields and wireless exposure for my own personal education.

EMFs, mostly from cell phones, wifi, smart meters and cell towers have: interfered with sleep patterns, memory and impacted more than a few friends and their families. One friend can’t sleep with the wifi on. Another can tell you when he is within proximity to a cell tower with amazing accuracy. One other can’t own a current cellphone because it gives him an instant headache. In the early days of the wireless boom, reducing exposure made all the difference, even though it often required that people isolate, losing their communities and even their homes in some cases, if they were living near a cell tower. But nowadays it has become harder and harder to avoid exposure. Our society depends on technology. Unfortunately the lack of sufficient safety studies and examination of the potential health hazards before launching into commitment to the widespread use of wireless devices, has created a silent but real public health issue. I feel strongly that we need to safeguard our population, and especially those vulnerable individuals like small children and the elderly by doing the proper research without the influence of interested parties skewing the results. We owe that to the future .

I encourage HHS to take an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation on the human body. When you do, I hope you will include the experiences of the many individuals and families who report being affected alongside the scientific evidence, identifying and closing the gaps in current research. Please make wireless radiation and public health safety a federal research priority! Our kids will thank you! As will yours.

My experience include a strong headache and 8 on a scale of 10 after a new cell tower was build and activated. previously I never had a migrane headache like other people. I went to Sweden. There everyone I met were either harmed by electromagentic radiation or knew people who were! In Sweden, I felt fine for 4 days. I relocated. Four days again headache reaapread. GRRR! This experience repeated again and again. I slept uncomfortale in the rental car. Rarely I asked a homeowner for a shower. To get food was distant. I slept in a Swedish log cottae with a ground fire in the middle space and laayers of deer for to sleep on. Nice. I had to leave. New guests were arriving. To continue: People harmed by electromagnetic radiation may carry in their bodies a remembered injury from invisible electromagnetic radiation. My home is similar to a faraday cage. No wifi, no drones, in a no fly zoen, NRQZ protected by USA - Congress in 1956. A person viisted was here for 10 , minutes. She HAD to leave immediately. She did not alow her body to forget the consstatn invisible pain (in a faraday cage) in our home. I tried to contact her. No luck. A hospital diagnosed her having "Vibroacoustic disease". (VAD) in her obivuatry (2025). She had died. I feel sad and very helpless. Harmful places I detected: Creek and rivers carry frequencies (My reactions were confirmed by a medical doctor / scientist) still lakes, ponds reflect a constant frequency. A rock cliff reflects radiation emitted from vehicles. Trains (higher frequency as the train approaches: lower frequency as it moves away) affect many. I could not live near a railroad. From experience, the radiation harms and frightens me. I experienced the ding ding of an approaching train, the gate arms lowered, I braced myslef. No train. The dings stoopped. No train. Wish, the trains train very quickly passed.

I have been burned by my cell phone. I developed a sensitivity to radiation after. Cell towers, SMART Meter Banks, industrial routers, and other wireless technology, together are very dangerous. Children have developing bones and brains. Most schools have cell phone towers. Many fire departments also have towers. The laws protecting citizens are very old. We are in a different time where the old laws are not relevant to modern digital technology. Blood, brain and bone cancers will increase. If this technology can penetrate brick buildings it can penetrate bones. Please consider updating the health and safety regulations for wireless technology. Before we continue to advance in science and technology, please ensure the health and wellbeing of people and wildlife are not in jeopardy.

Greetings - I am writing to provide first hand knowledge of the effects of EMFs, RF radiation and wireless radiation exposure on the public, and more specically, my wife.

My lovely, outgoing wife was a dedicated, hard working school teacher who loved her profession and her ability to interact with children. Approximately 11 years ago, my wife's school district upgraded it's wi-fi system, thereby over saturating the school's teachers, staff and students with EMFs, RFs and wireless radiation. She along with other teachers immediately felt ill from the radiating wireless routers.

The results on my wife have been devastating. She now suffers from headaches, burning skin, foggy headness and multiple other symptoms. Tragically, this all could been avoided had the school district heeded the warnings of multiple experts who warned of the consequences of oversaturating the school with wireless routers. In addition to my wife's symptoms, the resulting harm has had a profound effect on our lives together. My wife cannot travel, even for short distances, without experiencing symptoms. We can only spend limited time at restaurants, movies or with friends at their homes. My wife can no longer work which has caused us a substantial financial burden. In all, the results of these exposures have been devastating.

The effect of EMFs, RFs and wireless radiation on the public must be studied and regulated in the hopes that these injuies will be prevented from harming innocent people in the future. Water in a reservoir can be helpful to people. Once the reservoir is broken and water comes flooding through the dam, the effects are devastating. Such is the case with EMFs, RFs and wireless radiation. The dam is about to break.

There are already numerous studies showing biological harm. Here are some: https://www.americansforresponsibletech.org/science

Original comment · unedited text

Perspective I am submitting as an individual, a parent, and a family caregiver. I am also a public school teacher of 14 years. Experience Our home is within sight of commercial radio broadcast towers. Soon after we moved in, I suddenly developed significant metabolic dysfunction and systemic inflammation that no doctor has been able to resolve while we live here. This is not lifestyle. I eat as clean as possible, am extremely active, and changed nothing about my diet or lifestyle when these problems began. Both of my pregnancies were in this home. In my first, I had major complications during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, and my child was born with significant birth defects requiring multiple surgeries. In my second, lab work confirmed metabolic and hormonal problems that affected my child's development and birth, and I again had major complications. These were not random or unexplained. These are all known issues from non-native EMF exposure from the broadcast towers and nearby power lines. After my first child's birth, a cellular antenna was installed about half a mile from our home, mounted on power lines. We received no notice and could find no public registration or record of it. We only knew it existed by seeing it. After it was installed, my postpartum recovery worsened. My metabolic and hormonal problems increased, my migraines got worse, and I developed slow wound healing. Many of these reflect impaired cellular repair, including autophagy, mitophagy, and overnight repair. My metabolic problems and inflammation continue to increase, raising my long-term risk of serious disease, including cancer. My husband has always been extremely healthy and active and still plays sports as an adult. Even so, his bloodwork now shows changes in his cholesterol patterns and markers associated with heart disease risk. Neither of us changed our diet, lifestyle, or anything else that would explain this. We both had the same bloodwork changes in the same month, right after the antenna was installed. My doctor has told me we have done everything we can medically, and since my health is not improving, we need to move. We are being forced to move, at significant…

Argues that low-frequency and supraharmonic exposures are an overlooked contributor to chronic illness, discusses terminology across professions and requests investigation.

AI-reviewed source analysis of the original text, not verified medical findings. Attachments are not reviewed.

Original comment · unedited text

Every chronic illness correlates with the introduction of exposure to frequencies from 2-100 kHz. This variable has not been accounted for in primary scientific research. Looking at all the graphs of years and rates of increase to this exposure is convincing that there is a correlation that needs investigation. This exposure came before the proliferation of smartphones, earbuds, and WiFi routers.

There are three professions that recognize these frequencies.

2-150 kHz is termed as

extremely low frequency (ELF) and low frequency (LF) in the radio world,

kilo Hertz alternating current (KHFAC) in the medical field,

and supraharmonics (SHs) in the electrical engineering realm.

There is no argument on whether these frequencies are present and biologically active as they pass through the skin unimpeded.

Inject them into the electric field of a home or school and now you have an extremely high power density of RF. And even greater when touching a grounded surface.

I have had complications from EMF since 2021 when I contracted COVID and this resulted in Long COVID symptoms that continue to plague me to today. I am a 30 year teacher and since the onset of technology being pushed in every school, I have had symptoms of erratic heartbeat, anxiety, depression, muscle tightness, inability to sleep at night. I see chronically in my students the same symptoms including eye pain and headaches. In 2019 my classroom included my laptop, a smart TV, Chromebooks that are one to one with students and even my very own router placed above my classroom door. In 2026, I found a lump in my left breast and am being treated for breast cancer. However, I have EMf Ultrasensitivity that is complicating my recovery. My breast works as an internal "antenna" for EMF. Smartphones and Laptops and especially my router are the worst offenders! I have a large burn mark all over my left breast. The skin is like cooked and microwaved meat. My cells are weak in my breast and cannot fend off the EMF waves. The skin is burned. I cannot handle being in the overwhelming environment at school with all the wireless technology and routers and fluorescent lights. The lights also trigger my untrasensitivity. My day at school creates an electric shock or zing that feels and it does burn my skin and breast. My breast is hard and my muscles around my breast and to my back become tight and ache unbearably by the end of the day. I cannot attend large gatherings or social functions where there are security camera, checkout lanes, routers, cell phones or computers of any kinds. It is difficult to go to grocery stores or do any other shopping. Walmart is the worst. School is one of the most polluted environments for me in my life currently. I will be retiring in May of 2027 due to the toxic radiation from EMF and how it is literally cooking me and killing me. At home, I have my laptop landline wired and my phone is also landline enabled. We turn our wifi off at night. My smartmeter on my house literally traps me indoors and on bad days, I feel it through the house wall. At school, my laptop is ethernet wired and my smart TV and router are unplugged. However, when the…

Re: Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure---Docket No. HHS-OASH-2026-0397 Submitted by: Tim Humlicek Missouri City, TX 77459 Perspective: Parent/family member of child with autism and member of the public Date: October 21, 2026 I appreciate HHS' request for information regarding EMS, radiofrequency radiation, wireless technologies, and human health. I am submitted these comments primarily concerned as a parent with a child of autism (ASD). I am not asking HHS to conclude that RF/EMF exposure causes ASD. I am asking that HHS recognize the substantial public-health importance of the question and support rigorous, independent investigation into whether RF/EMF exposure may contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder, either independently or through interaction with genetic susceptibility and other environmental factors. This distinction is important. The current evidence does not establish a causal relationship between RF/EMF exposure and autism. However, neither does the available evidence justify treating the question as resolved. There are several reasons why this subject warrants a coordinated federal research effort. 1. ASD is a common and increasingly identified neurodevelopmental condition with a highly heterogenous genetic architecture, yet a common group of symptoms. Most syndrome with a genetic cause have relatively few genetic causes, not thousands, as have been associated with ASD. Individuals should question shether these genetic findings could also be bystander effects in addition to contributing to ASD and associated comorbidities. 2. Genetic findings explain only part of the biological complexity of ASD, and gene-environmental interactions are increasingly being recognized. 3. Multiple biological processes implicated in ASD--including oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, altered clacium signaling, immune dysregulation, cellular stress, and altered neuronal signaling--have also been investigated as potential effects of RF/EMF exposure 4. Experimental mammalian studies have reported neurodevelopmental, behavioral, oxidative,…

Describes a chronic surgical head wound and residual mesh as reasons for concern about 5G exposure, and requests expedited safety research and revised guidance for vulnerable groups.

AI-reviewed source analysis of the original text, not verified medical findings. Attachments are not reviewed.

Original comment · unedited text

An expedited safety review of 5G EMF is of personal importance to me. I have a chronic head wound due to a failed surgical closure. I'm missing a section of bone and have residual "mesh" still in a couple of places in my head (residual from the cranioplasty). The mesh is like having an antenna in my head. Prior to 5G, I wasn't overly concerned, but did a lot of research on EMF from multiple sources. I'm aware that the FCC has not adjusted its guidelines for "safe limits" since the 1990s. The explosion of wireless devices since their last revision of their "safety" data is non-existant. The increasing "speed" of wireless connections has made it impossible for the average person to protect themselves by choice due to the increased number of towers that they need for 5G and the breaching of previous "no go" zones for these towers - hospitals, schools, nursing homes - to keep young children and vulnerable adults safe from exposure to EMFs that can affect their brains, interfere with bodily healing and certainly cause a decline in intellect and memory. I have no articles to send you. I'm just a regular person who has taken the time to look into articles written by others. This is personal to me. Please do the studies that should have been done years ago!

This is a serious matter that needs stricter regulations for the health and well being of current as well as future generations. We are electro-magnetic beings! Please do your due diligence and research the evidence and make integral, responsible decisions. Children’s and infant skulls are thinner so radiation can penetrate more. Thank you.

Original comment · unedited text

I am responding as: an individual. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…): mobile phones Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years): Almost every single day, a few hours of duration, once or twice a day, since 20012. Adverse health effect(s) experienced: Fatigue (some times extreme fatigue), pain, migraines, decreased body temperature, heart arrhythmia, cognitive problems (mainly in concentration and short term memory), irritability, non-restorative sleep. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects: It is difficult to know, since I have been sick for a few years, with the symptoms I mentioned above, until a change of my usual home in 2012, in the mountains, where the radiation was very low, made me realize that I was reacting to the radiation of the mobile phone, and then I began to realize that this radiation made me sick. When you live surrounded by artificial radiation, as it happens today, it is difficult to perceive that this radiation is what makes you sick. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis? Yes, although today the main recommendation is to avoid as much as possible exposures. Other palliative recommendations were provided by physicians, mainly to increase antioxidant intake. Yes, I was diagnosed by four different physicians. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects? Yes, the main step has been to get to live in a place where artificial radiation is very low, so that exposure only occurs when there are neighbors nearby. Nevertheless, I had to shield part of the house, since from one year to the next, radiation increases everywhere. Of course there were changes in the effects, in fact, If I hadn't been able to find a suitable house and shield a part of the house, I don't know if I would still be alive, because my sensitivity is very high. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information: There are thousands of…

Hello Gov USA

I had a very bad experience with radiation, I guess it was 5G, strong pressure, I lived in a house where it was installed, just entering the room I would feel strong pressure in my head and constant ringing in my ears, only leaving the room to go to the bathroom or outside would the ringing and pressure disappear, at that time while living there I was very sick, my skin was just burning, dry, I thought my ears would fall out, my eyes were burning. I went to the doctors, allergy medicine, antibiotics, steroid creams, nothing helped, but only knowing what I had done helped me move out to live somewhere else, and my health improved, my skin healed and everything else healed within 2 weeks, I don't even want to remember it was something horible, so people have to check the places they live, especially where they spend the most time, so that there is nothing that makes you sick, and you You are unnecessarily visiting doctors, you are polluting your body with medications that are prescribed for you and do not help, and will not help as long as you live in a room where there is radiation
