Please stop putting up these electronic devices that hurt people, birds and animals. Proper research and care must be taken so no harm is done. Please be mindful of our caretaker responsibility for our earth which we are custodians too.

My daughter is very sensitive to EMFs. She cannot hold a cell phone for any length of time without becoming very anxious and escalating into screaming

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 as the mother of a child on the autism spectrum. As a parent, I want to understand the environmental factors that may affect my child’s health, development, and daily well-being so I can make informed decisions.

Wireless technology is part of everyday life in our homes, schools, and public spaces. Parents need clear, trustworthy information about exposure and whether children, including those with developmental differences, may have particular vulnerabilities that warrant further study.

I am not claiming that wireless radiation caused my child’s autism. I am asking HHS to take parents’ questions seriously and support rigorous research that helps us understand whether these exposures affect children’s sleep, attention, sensory regulation, or other aspects of their health. Families should not be left to sort through conflicting claims without meaningful guidance. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Federal agencies with expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health should carefully evaluate the scientific evidence and listen respectfully to individuals and families who report being affected.

I urge HHS to identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and prioritize research that includes children on the autism spectrum. Please translate the findings into clear, practical guidance that parents and schools can use, including what is known, what remains uncertain, and whether measures to reduce exposure are warranted. As a mother, I want answers grounded in sound science and a genuine commitment to protecting children’s health. Thank you for giving families an opportunity to be heard

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 parent, family member, caregiver, and concerned member of the public. I follow Dr. Devra Davis for over a decade and her website https://ehtrust.org/.

She should be consulted as she has done a deep dive into EMF & Cellphone radiation.

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.

Sincerely,

Francesca Ortolano

We the people paid for fiber optic cable - but got the super harmful 5G towers instead. That was grand theft from the people!!! Wireless has been

proven to be harmful to ourselves and our environment. I want to know who made the decision to do the 'bait and switch' because they need to be

held accountable. Please do your research and respond to me just who chose to do all this harm! In addition, AT&T is threatening to remove our land line phones when many of us chose not to use cell phones. Not only are they harmful but they destroy our right to privacy since we are tracked everywhere we go and don't even know who or what is tracking us. We must abolish this harmful technology and restore our right to have the fiber optic cable we paid for.

Every night I wake up at 4-5 like clockwork and cant get back to sleep. Most nights I cant get back to sleep either. I hear a noise like something is running outside all night and I wear ear plugs for my husbands snoring .It blocks that noise, but not the motor runninng in my head, thats why I feel its a frequency. Never quiet at night anymore, I hate it!!!! I hear the noise during the day too, when its quiet.

1996 regulations are archaic and useless, like Model-T regulations being applied to modern automobiles.

It is time to rewrite these rules, putting public safety and awareness up front, instead of industry profits. Telecom should NOT be writing it's own rules!

I am a wife, a mom of 4, an RN, an avid volunteer, and now highly sensitive to EMF's. I have had zero health issues until in February of this year I was in a "Smart Neighborhood" after recovering from the flu and covid. My body felt recovered, but my immune system was still clearing it. I was there to visit a sick relative in the hospital. The first night there I began having chest pressure, a resting heartrate of 120, and tingling in my hands and feet. I went to the ER to see if I was having a heart attack. Once I was cleared at the hospital, the tingling continued to spread up my arms and legs. The tingling turned into burning like I was on fire. I cut my trip short and came home and immediately saw my Dr. After multiple scans, I was asked what kind of EMF's I had been exposed to. That was when we realized that the EMF's from the "Smart Neighborhood" and the hospital exposure combined with my recovering immune system has essentially poisoned my system. Since then, my genetics testing has shown that I have the MTHFR mutation. They say 40-60 percent of the population has this. It makes my system more susceptible to any type of toxin. To this day, 9 months later, I am unable to touch a live cell phone. I am unable to be near a live cell phone. I am hardly able to navigate in a wifi environment. It has crippled my ability to work, go to church, and volunteer as I did. I have spent thousands on supplements, red light therapies, iv infusions, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage therapy, etc. to try to help mitigate this. We have hard wired our home so that I can function here. But I will say that even living on 12 acres, I can pick up on up to 5 different wifi signals in my home from nearby farms. It's almost impossible to get away from it all. I know my situation is extreme sensitivity. But, I am clear that many are suffering milder effects and aren't correlating it to EMF's. Headaches, random nausea, exhaustion, brain fog, etc. Because we live in such a world that you can't hardly get away from it, it is hard to connect without the right Dr. When we try to go away for a trip, I have to drive because a plan is one of the worst. I can't hardly find a place that…

I have been gangstalked all my life

For some folks, EMFs, RF and Wireless radiation exposure is a reality. I have seen people's lives stopped to a complete halt with life long suffering. They have to live in remote places and take extreme care to avoid all the radiation that they humanly can. Some have built homes and basements to shelter themselves from it. It is a real issue for some.

They had proof that wireless radiation exposure is harmful to us. It has been proven beyond a doubt. I have read many reports that show proof of these facts. Please help to protect our little ones especially. I have requests to NOT have Smart Meters installed at my home and I was told I will be penalized financially. That is not fair that I am trying to protect my family. Please consider the proof that is being provided.

I am writing from the UK.

A few years back I spent several hours in the centre of Manchester just after 5G was introduced. That evening, I experienced really bad cramping in my arms and legs. I thought nothing of it at the time, although I don’t suffer with cramp normally. Roll on a couple of so years, and I was visiting Manchester again and remember seeing a new mast on top of a building. Again, I didn’t think anything of it. My husband and I went for lunch at a nearby café, and I suddenly experienced the same cramping as before. Within half an hour I felt dreadful. Very weak with a headache. My husband supported me in walking back to the metro to head back to base. I spent the next 3 days in bed, with a raging headache, feeling and being sick. My husband spent most of the time trying to cool me down with cold, wet cloths. It took a couple of weeks after that for me to feel vaguely OK. I am convinced that I experienced some sort of radiation sickness.

We don’t live in Manchester but the town in which we do live now has several masts and I have constant white noise and mild ringing in my ears (we are WIFI-free in our house). I avoid city centres and public transport, concerts etc as much as possible, and feel like life is gradually shrinking as I try to avoid being in areas with high levels of EMFs, something which is nigh on impossible to achieve nowadays..

I am submitting this comment as a consumer concerned about long-term exposure to wireless radiation from phones, Wi-Fi routers, cell towers, and other connected devices.

I urge HHS to conduct a thorough, independent review of whether current exposure limits adequately protect public health. This review needs to consider those most heavily exposed and should examine potential effects beyond tissue heating, including evidence concerning cancer, reproductive health, and children’s development.

Please prioritize research that reflects how people actually encounter wireless radiation: repeated exposure over many years, often from multiple sources and devices used close to the body. Assessments should consider signal strength, pulse patterns, duration, and combined exposure.

Please consider Melnick and Moskowitz’s 2026 analysis of animal data, which argues that existing exposure limits may inadequately protect against cancer and reproductive harm (https://doi.org/10.1186/s12940-026-01288-6). I also ask HHS to evaluate Lai and Levitt’s review of exposure intensity, duration, and signal modulation (https://doi.org/10.1080/15368378.2022.2065683), and Scarato’s review of US regulatory gaps and proposed reforms (https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2025.1677583). These papers warrant careful consideration alongside the broader evidence, including studies that have not found adverse effects.

I ask HHS to:

•Assess whether additional protections are needed for children, pregnant women, and other potentially vulnerable groups.

•Support long-term research with safeguards against industry conflicts of interest.

•Provide clear information about exposure and practical ways to reduce it, including wired alternatives in homes and schools.

•Recommend updated standards wherever the evidence shows that existing limits are insufficient.

Consumers should not have to navigate these questions alone. Please use this inquiry to advance transparent science, meaningful oversight, and public health protection.

We seek comment on whether “the five articles on which the majority opinion relied… do not

challenge a fundamental premise of the Commission’s order” and we ask the same question as to any

record information that the panel identified in arriving at its holding.

• One such article, the dissenting opinion noted, purported to present evidence of non-cancerous

“oxidative effects” but conceded that it “[did] not provide conclusive evidence of causal effects

and should be interpreted with caution until confirmed in other population.

• Another meta-analysis, the dissent observed, summarized the results of human studies on the

behavioral effects of RF radiation and identified “31 studies that showed no significant behavioral

effects compared to 20 studies that showed behavioral effects,” including “four [that] found

behavioral improvements, not negative health effects.

• Yet another, according to the dissent, failed to “address the critical issue—whether RF radiation

below the Commission’s current limits can cause negative health effects” because it examined the

International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection’s (ICNIRP) recommended RF

exposure limit, which “is significantly higher than the Commission’s current limit—0.08 W/kg

averaged over the whole body and a peak spatial-average of 1.6 W/kg over any 1 gram of

tissue.

• And yet another, the dissent noted, acknowledged that “the health effects of [exposure to

radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs)] are still unknown … [and] to date studies

addressing this topic have produced inconsistent results.

Hello, my name is Arlet Rodriguez. I’m 26 years old, & I’ve been negatively affected by RF/EMF biomonitoring. In the year 2020, in the start of COVID lockdown, my cp devices were hacked into/infiltrated. I had a Blue Journal app, for ex., which began to ask sexual questions as prompt ideas. I was prevented from applying to a coding bootcamp stipend, & couldn’t complete my education. My underwear was stolen, & later on, my vid camera & Kindle. My car was broken into, & a piece next to the driver’s seat was missing, so I began to feel too scared to drive. I began to experience the effects of synthetic telepathy 24/7, commonly referred to Voice-To-Skull tech, but it wasn’t obvious at first; the transmissions were faint. Even so, a man with a black mask walked past me and tapped his ear as if signaling to listen. A few weeks later, I woke up one morning to very loud & abusive transmissions. I thought of it as assimilation, brainwashing, & also a possible earpiece that was put into my ear/s. A short time after, I noticed that there were white stains on my orange velvet couch, & realized that I was being human-trafficked. I tried to be protective of my personal belongings and body, but even when I would lock myself in my home completely, I would wake up to objects moved to another place in the room. I didn’t know this back then, since the digital billboards on freeways would only provide a picture of “Casper the Friendly Ghost,” but now I understand that they use some sort of tech to push and move objects, or possibly invisibility cloaking. It was also difficult to think, because the continuous and painful transmissions would limit my ability to do so, thus I would suffer sleep deprivation, trauma, isolation, and fear in my own room, not being able to process on how to solve this problem. Soon, I decided to walk in the city to try & find a women’s shelter, where I would have others surrounding me. But, I would be put instantly to sleep, or cognitively interrupted. One night after I was taken to a motel room, a cop car sat outside, & I fell asleep after. One morning after I accidentally fell asleep at the Beverly Hills Park, a policeman asked me a few questions &…

I do not believe these technologies are safe for us. I do not trust long established standards and parameters set by institutions with conflicts of interest toward their development.

believe we need to look at the research of Dr. Martin Pall, Dr. Jack Kruse, Dr. Robert Becker and others.

These devices and frequencies have significant impact on our cells, melatonin levels, sleep quality, nervous system, cognitive function, circadian rhythms, and recovery. They also greatly increase our risk of chronic disease.

Historical benchmarks are too conservative and only look at the limited lens of heating of tissues and ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation emitted from them is also harmful. I have felt the effects myself and can measure with a personal EMF meter to confirm symptoms + exposure.

I often get debilitating headaches if using devices too long and close to head, nearby source, and being near cell towers.

Please do the right thing and regulate these technologies to become aligned with our biology.

With its unique position geopolitically, America must be a leader in this direction globally.

If i stand under a wifi router my brain works slow. Before heavy metal clearing. My brain felt as if there were not space enough in the scull, when i drove on the high way in areas with high wireless exposure. In rooms with a lot of gadgets turned on with high wireless communication, i get tired feel sick, an get Quick heart pulsation in hours after. I get sick when drivning in el cars.

Hi, for many years I have had a cell phone but about 20 years ago my health really went downhill so I spent 4 years with the local doctor. She was very thorough in searching within the limited medical practice with all sorts of tests but could find nothing but the pain and lump kept getting bigger. Then I realised that if I turned the wifi off, I felt a little better so I did some research and found a lot of information on line. I shared this with my doctor but she told me that 'the experts' said there was no problem with anything electromagnetic/radiation coming from wifi. Fortunately with the help of Jesus (not found in most wified churches as its also filled with experts.'

I am still here with my eyes wide open to the corruption that is all around me.

I am a survivor of NDE but I didn’t see all the lovely sights of lights, bells and whistles as imo this is only one side of what happens to people who have a ‘return to their body too soon’ and is part of a deception? Beyond this is exactly what the Bible tells us – eternal hell.

We all sometimes forget – we all face the Ultimate Judge at the end of our lives and we will have to take account of every deception, lie, theft, adultery, sexual deviation, etc etc etc. No-one gets through to real freedom without Jesus.

Blessings, Loren Brown

I have been under the above radiation since 2020. Apart from the usual illness it has caused mutilation on my gums and aged badly.
