WALLINGTON, NJ: OUR CHILDREN LIVE INSIDE THE SIGNAL, 24 HOURS A DAY. Every person in Wallington lives within half a mile of a cell antenna installation. Most live within half a mile of two or more. I ask HHS to make Wallington a pilot site and to come see it. My full report is attached. ABOUT ME. Szymon Sikorski. Medical degree; 20 years in medical research analysis, the last five on cancer. Parent of a child in Wallington public schools. I write for no institution. For six years I lived and worked from home near the Hathaway Street Park cell tower. Day and night. Then I was diagnosed with cancer. Now I live with it, and with the fear of it getting worse. How much of it came from six years of round-the-clock RF and EMF exposure? No one can tell me. No one ever measured it. PEOPLE SEE ONE TOWER. WE HAVE SIX INSTALLATIONS. They carry more than 70 panels, most hidden in plain sight: on a water tank next to an elementary school, an apartment roof where families sleep directly under eight antennas, a self-storage building, an old water tower and a chimney. You may see a tower 2,000 feet away and miss the antennas much closer to home. Not one has ever been held to Wallington's own 500-foot rule. THE WARNINGS ARE NOT NEW. The World Health Organization's cancer agency (IARC) lists radio-frequency radiation, and magnetic fields from electrical equipment, as possibly causing cancer in humans. In 2019, and again in 2024, its advisers called a new cancer review a high priority. The American Academy of Pediatrics told the FCC its limits do not account for children and pregnant women, and a federal court ordered the FCC to explain how they protect children long term. Firefighters asked for a federal study of antennas on their stations in 2004. It was never done. WHY 1,500 FEET? In Germany and Israel, studies found more cancers among people living within about 1,150 to 1,300 feet of cell antennas. A 1,500-foot buffer covers that distance. Legislators keep proposing 1,500 feet or more from schools; in New Hampshire, 1,640 feet from homes and schools. In Wallington, 83% of homes are within 1,500 feet of an installation. 24 HOURS A DAY, NOT 30 MINUTES. FCC limits were set in…

Why hasn’t there been regulation on the overly bright vehicle lights that blind you anytime you are driving especially at night. These lights should be banned and a better option for lights should be implemented. To not look at what these lights do when driving is just ignorance.

In July 2023, I was admitted to ER and overnight to the hospital for heart issues. Then spent two days having Multiple tests were run with no conclusive evidence of any heart Trouble! I was sent home and had my two smart meters on my property removed and then a month later ended up wearing a heart monitor for three weeks journaled everything and recorded every time my heart acted up and what I was doing and discovered I could not spend more than 45 minutes at a time on my wireless laptop without giving me palpitations and creating arrhythmia and chest pain pains! It was quite an eye opener. Of course, the journal entries were highly edited and showed NO correlation!?! Three months later, I saw the top southern Oregon cardiologist. Except for some unusual EKGs and all the rest of the tests were inconclusive, the Doctor asked me, what I thought the issue was - so I shared, that I felt the cause of my cardiac issues was EMF exposure. His comment and I quote “I’m not ‘allowed’ to discuss that with patients.”. I asked him why, and he would not explain the censorship. (I was shocked!) Although he did say that “ I would never use my cell phone next to my brain because I don’t want brain cancer.” AND he does not carry it in his hip pocket next to “his boys” because he doesn’t want prostate cancer! So obviously, he believes that EMF is causing cancers, but he’s not allowed to talk about cardiac problems!?! Prior to my experience, my husband has had cardiac problems ever since smart meters were attached to our home. Once they were removed here in Oregon he no longer has cardiac issues! September 20, 2026 I travel to Oroville, California and was in town less than 24 hours before I had to leave because I started having cardiac issues; palpitations, arrhythmia, shortness of breath and chest pains, so once again EMF is the culprit because I was in a large city with lots of EMF and undoubtedly 5G. Once out away from the city symptoms reduced enough for me to travel home! LIVESTOCK AND PETS All our farm animals have also been exposed to long-term EMF. Once the smart meters were installed in 2015 the 80 lb mixed breed dog developed systemic lupus, and inflammation all over her…

I am currently experiencing symptoms from smart meters that were put on homes . There is a constant loud ringing and pressure that is low frequency. I have reported this last year to the government but nothing was done. It causes sleep disturbance insomnia irritability and anger. Delusions and symptoms that mimick alzheimers. Psychosis headache and tinnitus. Personality changes. The can control the intensity and the amount of emf and power. The can turn up the gas pressure and if there is a small leak they will turn it up so high that it will seep out and fill your house with gas and carbon monoxide and nobody will never know. These meters should be against the law. They are controlling people house with these things.

Dear Robert F. Kennedy jr,

I have been affected by Emfs for many years. It started when I drove my BWM for years every day for many hours. I started to feel strange and finally realized it was from the radiation from the car. Since then I feel pain from computers and telephones - not so much from television.

It basically affects my head, my stomach, or lymnphsystem. If a use any train, I can suddenly feel an ache in the bach of my head, turning around, someone is using the phone right behind me. If I sit down and someone's telephone is at midlevel, I feel it in my stomach more.

It seems to me that it comes from the immunsystem on my head, making me think that people with compromised immunsystem is affected more.

Since I have a sensitive nervous system to start with, it affects me more. If you know about ayuruveda, litterature varns specifically Vata people to stay away from electronics as Vata is more sensitive than pitta and kapha. Vata people often get diseases related to the nervous system.

Also, led and lighting tubes are also affecting me.

I have a phone and computer but use as little as possible. It is not to be confused with people who are allergic to all electronics.

Note that people with electric cars now start to feel nausiated when sitting in their cars.

When I was ill, I was so sensitive that I could feel how it seemed like it was coming from the head and went out and into my body, sort of grabbing the stomach. I now assume that all diseases come from the body protecting itself by borrowing what it needs from other parts of the body. If this is constant, you have an autoimmun disease.

Believe me, this is true.

Very truly yours,

Gabriella

We have a responsibility to address this. It is as important as the food we eat and the water we drink.

MY NEIGHBORS AND ANIMALS ARE DYING I am SICK. My family members have been SICK SINCE more than a hundred UNREGULATED TOWERS WENT LIVE over our community. This has been a challenge for me to get anyone to help in my community. I wanted to share my story in hopes of helping others. My story is one of many in Terrebonne Parish. After multiple (9) 300-foot 5G towers were put over our homes, four 300-foot 5G towers were put over my home and animal sanctuary, and four 300-foot towers were put over my office. At the same time, smart meters were put on my home, along with those of every other Entergy customer. I began getting sick, very sick. It began in my petting area with heart palpitations, headaches, vomiting, ringing in my ears, confusion, bleeding gums, insomnia, nightmares, dizziness, anxiety, ears buzzing 24 hours a day, severe fatigue, muscle weakness, and more. I have now been diagnosed with radiation syndrome / EHS (electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome) caused by extreme exposure to radiation. Many residents are experiencing similar symptoms. Countless children are now suffering. Being a very healthy person my whole life, this has been a life-changing situation. I am usually the one helping others; now I need your help. I never thought this could happen until I was forced to face it by becoming sick. I'm not sure where this illness will take me. However, I must do all I can to protect my family and my community. Seven neighbors on my street and friends have died after the towers went live over their homes. Many other residents are also sick. My community is surrounded by towers that have no regulatory testing information, nor does our planning department ask for it, citing the FCC's outdated RF radiation guidelines. I became certified in RF radiation testing. I now test the towers and smart meters. I can confirm that the EMF (electromagnetic frequency) / RF (radio frequency) radiation being emitted is extreme for every single product, tower, and smart device I have tested. It has been a fight to protect my family, my community, and myself, with EVERYONE CITING THE FCC'S OUTDATED RF RADIATION GUIDELINES. I had to learn all I could about this to protect…

thank you for this open consultation to all and I would be happy if my testimony could help disabled people like me. My profession was computer science and I became disabled (recognized by the MDPH, a French organization for the recognition of disabilities) following a permanent exposure to excessive radiation: I lived 35 m from a relay antenna (2g, 3g, 4g+) and the office WI-FI box was placed on my work table. I was also surrounded by all kinds of electronic and computer equipment. I spent a lot of time on the phone as part of my duties. I suffered a lot in my body for 2 years without understanding why until a doctor understood that my neurological, cardiac and hormonal problems were induced by the radiation around me. As soon as I went into a white zone, I was better after a while. I had to radically change my life: moving to a gray area, unable to work even with an adaptation of the workstation (disability declared by social security) and social life reduced to nothing because repeated exposure to the waves hurts me. scientific publications on the subject: Hu, C., Zuo, H., & Li, Y.

L.S.,

I am an entrepeneur who sells bedding-products and apparel that protect people against the adverse effects of EMF's. These products have a protective component in them which is peat-fiber. See: www.gaiaheartworkz.com.

The issues related to EMF exposure fall in the category of DEFCON 1. The point with EMF's is is that they kill Life. We all know of the bag of frozen blood that was put in the microwave and given to the patient who then died. We can handle some EMF's, but from 4G and onwards it starts to result in symptoms of harmful exposure such as feeling “being thrown off your rockers”, feeling disconnected from Life and Life-Forces, of your soul and spirit, from your sense of being part of the spiritual world, from your inspiration, your intuition. It can get you into a state of being locked up in your physicality’s, in your intellect, in depressed thoughts, negative emotions, in fear, in being anti-social, in your instincts. Since EMF’s consist of cold energy they can thus even result in cancer (known to be a cold illness).

Since we have electrical currents in our body as well, the EMF's merge with those and subsequently amplify our currents to an unnatural and harmful level. One can feel this amplified exposure e.g. the top of our head, our temple, the middle-front of our forehead and the Atlas-point in the lower back-part of our skull. Our ears get affected by the EMF’s and you can hear it by a continuous buzzing high pitch monotonous ringing crinckling sound. People can experience it as having a hard time falling asleep (wheels keep spinning) and feel like they have a feever, but are not actually sick.

The result is that you can't function anymore as a healthy human being. Since there has been no actual thorough research done on these affects, this avalanche of EMF exposure should thus be seriously scaled back.

If you need more information feel free to contact me on: shop@gaiaheartworkz.com.

I have had someone or something speaking in my left ear mostly since November 23 1983 around 3:30 pm . Since then I've had several other things start happening and it has only progressively gotten worse. I've had my feet constantly low and slowly burned . I've had what I believe to be a laser enter into my body and cause health issues . I've been hit so hard with extremely low unhealthy frequencies that have caused me to have breathing issues . I have a list of issues caused by what has been said to be a directed energy weapon non-stop for years now along with the fact they have messed with my central nervous system and used subliminal messages to the point of them changing my word , even actions . This is DARPA known and now listed under space force as it is considered nuclear energy weapon . It's some of tue very same type of military weapons used in Venezuela . It is a no touch torture and it's been happening to me for decades . I've been told that it's because someone had me put onto a watchlist for terrorism of which I've never done nor even had the time or desire to do . When it started I was a young single mother of 2 elementary age school children and a full time job . I'd no time to even think about a plot against anyone and I was a good person who wasn't that kind of human . This needs STOPPED and I'm not nor have I ever been crazy . Make this end as I do not want to die on a program I rightfully should never been on .

I am a fifty year old woman. As soon as I applied for social security disability I started noticing lots of vehicles, black windows, sometimes no plates or out of state following me. I worked for a company that could be responsible for this? Im not sure who or what organization but its happening.

I was denied, hired a legal representative and won. However, since I have been stalked, threatened. Almost hit by a car that went up on the curb. V2k, electronic harassment and many more disgraceful disturbing and illegal activities. I Believe RFK was also a target. Due to his intelligence and connections I think "whomever they are " tried to silence him too. Please stop 702 shut the fusion centers down!!!

My biggest concern is the law enforcement surrounding RF and EMF. I have recorded illegal levels in my home. When a plane crashes does the black box tell us what EMF or RF was present? It should! I think this study is a big step in the right direction, but we must police it as well.

Question 2: I am responding as an individual consumer, a mother, and a member of a household where both adults work from home. I am not a scientist or medical professional. My comments are based on my own experience. My husband has submitted a separate response describing his own experience and measurements. Question 3: From 2022 to 2024 we lived about 400 metres from a mobile phone base station that carried 5G. My husband’s meter readings outdoors facing the mast were much higher than at our current home. Our house also had a lot of wireless technology, including Wi-Fi, several smart speakers, and wireless smart lights, switches and sensors. I worked from home, using my mobile phone regularly, with my desk beside our Wi-Fi router for most of the working day. While living there I had two miscarriages. I also developed tinnitus, anxiety, pressure in my head and difficulty sleeping. When we became aware of possible risks, we removed all the wireless devices from the house after both miscarriages, and in late 2024 we moved to a home further from base stations, where we do not use Wi-Fi and indoor readings are very low. My symptoms went away completely after the move. We conceived without difficulty and I have had a successful pregnancy. In late 2025 my symptoms returned. Only afterwards did we notice that a nearby base station had been rebuilt taller, with six new antennas; the operator has since confirmed the site runs 5G. By late 2026 my symptoms had become unbearable. We now sleep inside a shielding canopy over the bed, and we have fitted shielding to our windows. I understand that miscarriage is common and has many causes, and that other things in our lives changed when we moved. I am not claiming that wireless exposure caused my losses or my symptoms, and I know my observations are not blinded. Some research exists on exposure in pregnancy, including mobile phone use and living near base stations. That gap is why I am writing.

Dear Department of Health and Human Services: Thank you for listening to the concerns people have about wireless technology. I began suffering from EMR (electromagnetic radiation) Syndrome about 25 years ago. The chronic symptoms I have struggled with over the years include tinnitus, head and facial pain, head fogginess/dizziness, eye and vision problems, nosebleeds. My doctor and I spent years trying to determine the cause of my symptoms. I saw various specialists including an ENT doctor and at least three different neurologists. I had a CT scan and two brain MRIs. I had no success with any of the prescribed treatments, and none of my health care providers could figure out what was going on. Finally, about 10 years ago, I stopped using a cordless phone and took other steps to reduce my RFR (radiofrequency radiation) exposure. In doing so, I experienced a dramatic reduction in my symptoms. The general public needs to be aware that wireless radiation is harmful to human health. I have lost three jobs in the last nine years because my employers refused to provide a safe working environment. In the most recent incident, a WiFi router was located near my desk and I asked for permission to move the router at least 15 feet away. My boss refused to accommodate my request. When I told her that my doctor had advised me not to sit in such close proximity to the router, she terminated my employment. In the United States, we, the public, are not adequately protected by our safety standards. Thousands of peer-reviewed scientific studies, accumulated over decades, report biological effects from exposure to non-thermal, non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation (the kind emitted by cell towers, smart meters, WiFi routers, cell phones, Bluetooth devices, etc.). Our safety regulations do not to consider the bioeffects of wireless radiation at non-thermal levels. Nor do they consider the cumulative effects of long-term exposure over a period of years. The regulations consider only short-term exposure from a single source. They fail to consider exposure from multiple simultaneous sources, such as occurs when you, for example, use a cell phone or tablet near a smart meter in a…

Sivani Saravanamuttu, M.Phil., Ph.D.

Independent Researcher and Author; Founder of Project Plain Talk

I submit the following comments on the HHS RFI on Electromagnetic Fields, RF Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure.

My perspective draws on my peer-reviewed 2013 review (Sivani & Sudarsanam, Biology and Medicine) previously filed as Exhibit 19 in FCC ET Docket 13-84, and my book - The Digital Pied Piper Effect (2018) - which treats RF-EMF health questions as a systems problem involving both biological responses and behavioural patterns that increase cumulative exposure, especially in children.

Key points (detailed in the attached PDF):

- Exposure and behaviour are entangled; studies should measure both and attempt to separate their effects.

- Priority needs include real-use dosimetry, longitudinal cohorts from early life and transparent evidence syntheses.

- Individual sensitivity (including EHS/IEI-EMF) requires better methods (e.g., proteomics approaches proposed by Leszczynski) rather than relying solely on self-report or short provocation studies.

- EHS recognition and prevalence data are concentrated in high-income countries; comparative data from other regions are lacking.

- Coordination across FDA, NIH, CDC and related agencies is needed, with attention to non-thermal mechanisms as hypotheses requiring further testing and to practical exposure-reduction options.

The full response, with citations and mapping to specific RFI questions, is attached as a PDF.

Triple board certified physician here including in Brain Injury. It's simple. EMF changes biological signaling in a detrimental way, even at levels FAR below thermal effects. It is no less than a neurotoxin that our government has failed to protect us from. Change that. For one of a thousand studies on this topic, see Int J Radiat Biol. 2026;102(4):421-434. doi: 10.1080/09553002.2026.2617592. Neurotoxic effects of 3.5 GHz GSM-like RF exposure on cultured DRG neurons: a mechanistic insight into oxidative and apoptotic pathways.

The radiation from wireless devices and my smart meter makes have migraines and headaches. There are many others who have the same symptoms and it causes anxiety and distress may even potential cause cancer with long term use…please consider the voice of the people being harmed.
