Re: Docket No. HHS-OASH-2026-0397; Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure; 91 FR 59792 (September 21, 2026); FR Doc. 2026-19252; regulations.gov Document ID HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0001 Perspective (Question 2): I write as a researcher and as a consumer; I file in my individual capacity, with affiliation for identification only, and my response rests on the methodological literature and on professional experience rather than on new data. I am an epidemiologist (Ph.D., University of Minnesota) and a security engineer who has built RF telemetry and software-defined radio sensing systems through two companies I co-founded. The strongest case for this RFI is its order of operations: asking the research community and the public to identify frameworks, evidence, exposure methods, surveillance gaps, and research priorities before any policy move is the correct sequence, the questions are well structured, and the instruction that respondents name the frameworks they rely on and the basis of their evidence is sound. I take no position on whether RF exposure below current limits causes harm. My position is narrower and prior: that question cannot be answered well until exposure is measured, so the most consequential questions in this notice are the exposure-assessment and surveillance questions. Summary of recommendations: 1. For each exposure framework HHS relies on, state the biological endpoint the limit protects against and the safety factor applied (Question 5). 2. Fund a national measured-exposure program: calibrated personal dosimeters and fixed software-defined radio monitors on a probability-based population panel, recording band-resolved field strength and duty cycle over time with published uncertainty budgets (Questions 7 and 8). 3. Disclose measured field strength at representative use distances, in plain units with stated uncertainty, rather than only a single maximum SAR value (Question 9). 4. Evaluate any new surveillance system against the CDC 2001 attributes before it is built, and give every registry an exposure denominator by linking it to the measured-exposure panel…

RE:

Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure

I would like some information..

I am a TI

and another one here has V2K

thank you..

this has got to stop!!

I'll add my signature for support when ever it is helpful

thank you much!!

This hurts and ruins lives..

has caused this V2K person MUCH TROUBLE

thank you

I am getting blasted my head feels like it is about to explode

Our current regulations are astoundingly outdated... originating when most people did not even know what a cell phone was! Likewise any knowledge of the effects of microwave radiation was an unstudied unknown. We need new, updated, protection!

Questions 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16 and 18 I submit this as a resident concerned about persistent noise, perceived vibrations, health effects, and possible RF/EMF exposure near my home. My family has lived for years in an all-electric home near Whitewater Hill in the Palm Springs area, beside an aging wind farm, with a freeway below and numerous communications and radio towers nearby. In November 2024, I awoke to a loud, high-pitched, sustained sound apparently coming from outside toward the wind farm. Similar sounds and perceived vibrations have continued almost daily and nightly, changing throughout the day and often becoming particularly disruptive late at night or early in the morning. I am concerned about a nearby 5G tower that appears directed toward my home. Its involvement has not been established by testing. The disturbance has caused prolonged loss of sleep, severe headaches, exhaustion and two early-morning hospital visits. I was evaluated for tinnitus and told it did not explain my experience. My hearing specialist added a white-noise setting to my hearing aids. I have reverse-slope hearing loss. I have spent nearly two years and considerable money investigating and trying to obtain relief: Southern California Edison came three times, including at 10 p.m. My solar company inspected its equipment several times. Tesla replaced both costly home batteries multiple times; a senior representative also inspected the equipment. I shut off electricity to the entire house twice for 24 hours. The sound and vibrations continued unchanged. One shutdown damaged a pool pump, costing $2,300. I painted an entire room, walls and ceiling, with RF shielding paint. I purchased and installed special RF shielding curtains. I replaced all household ducting. I reinsulated the attic. I installed a new attic fan. I kept a log of disturbance dates and times. I installed a metal fence intended as shielding. I tried to measure the sustained sound on my phone, but the display only thickened and did not yield useful measurements. I filed a written FCC complaint. I contacted Palm Springs code officials, who referred me to the county. I paid a San Diego company $3,500 to measure…

I am writing to request strong deliberation regarding EMF and RF exposure. The effects are largely similar to many of us- headaches, trouble sleeping, irritability, the list goes on. A government's role is to guard the nation and keep a set of principles that unite us. Installing and supporting the growth of Electromagnetic fields and Radiofrequency Radiation is a danger to the citizens health, I dont think that protects our citizens.

If it harms one person it should be enough to rethink.

Please consider your actions carefully as these decisions affect the heath of a decent portion of the nation, and even more that just haven't realized the root cause.

Please find attached a submission from the Soft Lights Foundation related to electromagnetic radiation in the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum from products that use Light Emitting Diodes.

I feel that EMF radiation has not been properly evaluated for human exposure and before we go to 6G we need to evaluate the effects this has on humans. My husband has AFIB and he has been holding his phone over his heart for years which I believe has contributed to this condition. He has been in the ICU for this problem and no doctor has ever brought up his EMF exposure as a possible explanation for his condition.

I've been hit with these microwave directed energy weapons assaults since May of 2006. It causes lack of concentration, forgetfulness, physical fatigue, mental fatigue, rashes, skin irritations, irregularities to internal organs, balancing problems and much more. I think suffering from these covert attacks could reach epidemic proportions if not stopped right away. It is imperative that a moratorium be placed with the deep state on the continued operations of this immoral and illegal targeting surveillance.These symptoms experienced are consistent with those of the Havana Syndrome. Thank you for taking the time and interest in dealing with this important situation.

Sincerely,

R.Ellis

1. & 2. I am responding as: caregiver for an individual

3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)WIFI, Mobile phone, etc.

3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):Our organization in the Netherlands help people in thier home's to reduce exposure from RF fields: (Founding "StralingsBewustZeist".)

During the years 2021- now, in city Zeist, Netherlands.

3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:Example: Lady with heavy heart-beat: we enlarged distance from her WIFI and her desk by a few meters, which reduce the radiation exposure with more than a factor 100 x. A week later her heart-beat was over.

3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:Later we helped people with grounding their body, which improved the health situation.

Example, with a grounding mat in bed, which helped people to sleep better.

3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?

3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?Example: Lady with heavy heart-beat: we enlarged distance from her WIFI and her desk, a week later heart-beat was over.

Some people recovered from head ache by grouding their body.

3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:Book: "Earthing, the most important health discovery ever!" by Clinton Ober, Stephen Sinatra, Martin Zucker.

Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:More than 100 homes were tested on RF radiation during those years.

HHS-OASH-2026-0397 RFI Questions 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 18 People should be able to rely on health protections without having to become scientists. When published research reports malignant tumours in exposed animals or damage to reproductive cells, the public has good reason to want those findings examined carefully. Understanding their implications matters to people who cannot assess the science for themselves. I offer the attached review, Health protection deserves clear answers, to help bring that evidence within reach. Important findings are scattered across technical journals and government reports. Their significance can be difficult to follow, especially for someone already worried about their own health or that of their family. This review gives concerned readers an accessible way into the original work, with the detail needed for scientific examination alongside it. A strong starting point is the cancer evidence, records RF-001 and RF-002. The US National Toxicology Program classified malignant heart tumours in male rats after prolonged whole-body radiofrequency exposure as "clear evidence" of cancer-causing activity. A separate lifetime experiment at the Ramazzini Institute reported a significant increase in the same rare tumour type at its highest exposure. These are disease outcomes in experimental animals. Their meaning for human protection deserves close attention, while recognising that these experiments alone cannot calculate the risk from everyday phone use. The reproductive findings, RF-006 to RF-008, are another important starting point. Experiments with isolated human sperm and whole-body-exposed mice reported impaired sperm function and DNA damage. Sperm movement and genetic integrity are directly relevant to reproduction. The findings warrant attention on their own terms; they do not establish infertility in people. The report explains the exposure conditions, identifies the related research groups and records what the experiments did and did not show. Other experiments examine whether radiofrequency exposure can influence tumour development in mice also given a cancer-causing chemical. They raise a distinct question about…

My history with this issue began September 2006 when National Grid came to my home and replaced our analog meter without our knowledge or consent with a digital smart meter. I immediately heard something that interfered with my sleeping. I never heard this before. I bought my home in 1999. There was never a problem with hearing a continual noise that never stops. Symptoms followed such as headaches and migraines of which no reoccurring history. I also had nose bleeds, nausea, muscle spasms, fatigue, to name the worst of them. I called the DPU, DPH, DEP, EPA, verizon and national grid hired noise experts electricians, power quality studies in my home with a dranetz. SPL octave band studies for pure tones. Learned in 1990 Barbara Kwetz signed into law pure tone regulations for MA. But to no avail. Our experts were not equipped to provide us with help or had conflict of interest. When the first generation of smart meters were rolled out the costumers of utilities and safe to say most of population were ignorant of what the impact of smart grid technology ie., radio frequency radiation pollution would negatively have on us when exposed. There is no escaping it where this technology is turned. The state did not complete a single test that would identify the problem and mitigate. It was a clown show. They also ignored an affidavit from arlo Guthrie who is a forensic sound engineer who identified pure tones are the source of the grid and telecommunications layer of grid. The agencies never reached out to speak with him. The testing the state planned, for a couple years allowed national grid to test at or property without hiring a disinterested party to watch the wolves in the hen house. National Grid left an SPL meter over night in our home and another outside and both had glitches and produced zero data to complete the testing protocol. Several demand letters later in 2012 in July we finally got our analog meter back. I felt better immediately and the severe symptoms have not come back since removing the digital meter. One thing I predicted would not be mitigated; that being the noise. The pulsed RF signals are causing interference on the uninsulated exposed wires…

I have been experiencing dew attacks everyday non-stop 24/7 since approximately mid 2019. Among many other symptoms, my entire body is being hit with a frequency called "buffeting" which causes vibrations. This has been severely debilitating and each day I struggle to function with even basic ADL's (activities of daily living). It is also extremely difficult to think clearly since my brain is experiencing ongoing trauma due to military grade weapons via airplanes, cell towers, & satellite. I have audio evidence as well as 2 separate scans - a RF (radio frequency) scan & a non-linear junction scan. This is due to synthetic nanotechnology which has been activated that resides within my body. This can happen to anyone worldwide. I am more than willing to provide further information upon request.

In March 2019 my wife and I were working in the yard of our home when we both were suddenly hit by an unusual, unexplained forceful blast that we will never forget. The blast hit us straight on and we were nearly knocked down to the ground by it. It took the air and energy right out of us and left us with an intense ringing in our ears that we continue to experience.

We did not know what to do and I wondered if we needed to seek shelter, call the fire department, or call 911. It was that shocking, confusing, and intense. We did not know if the whole area was experiencing this event. It ended up changing our lives for the worse.

In the days and weeks following we realized that the tinnitus was always present but lessened in intensity whenever we were away from our home. After researching and thoughtful deductions we came to the conclusion that the source of the forceful blast and our numerous symptoms was the cellular dish that had been installed on the city water tower near our home.

Since that time, nearly seven years ago, we have experienced tinnitus, severe sleep loss, brain fog, confusion, dizziness, headaches, burning sensations, fatigue, loss of concentration, memory loss, irritability. These symptoms intensify whenever we are in proximity to EMF sources. All the symptoms we live with became so intense and persistent that we sold our home as quickly as we were able, in order to relocate to a safer place. We now rent and worry if we will need to move again. This has been a negative impact on our physical and mental health as well as our financial well being.

The cellular companies are not transparent about the health risks and dangers of their structures, equipment, technology and the Electro Magnetic Forces they are using and producing. They continue to ignore the damage they are doing to the public while only concerning themselves with profits.

There're various things with this I could tell ya and so on but I don't have some sheaf of documentation etc because I myself am dealing with organized gangstalking of the worst kind anyhow including the local police as well as neighbors/slumlords etc who want me dead {but're just tryin' to do it quietly}. That bein' said from what I've experienced it seems to be quite-real in many aspects. I can't speak to some veracity of all-of-it-all-the-time but a lot of it at least incl. at least some aspects of the electronic warfare aspect from my life specifically to the best of my ability to perceive it all.

Just this morning and for at least a week every morning, I wake up like someone poured gasoline on my skin and lit it. I am so stiff and sore to move is agonizing. Some recent mornings along with this I have crushing headaches ! My hair has fallen out and my skin is rice paper thin. I told a Dr when asked how long ? About 5-6 years, and I have no clue how to stop this.

Regarding: Request for Information on EMF, RF, and Wireless Radiation Exposure Comment by Dan Feidt, Philadelphia resident. [Question 2 & 3] I am an individual consumer and former resident who experienced chronic, close-range exposure (<25 feet) to cell tower mast hardware on a residential building. This exposure was continuous (24/7), highlighting severe gaps in public safety frameworks. Crucially, another resident in my immediate living environment required a cardiac pacemaker during their residency near this specific transmitter array. This observation necessitates formal tracking to investigate if chronic, close-range residential exposure acts as an environmental stressor or accelerant for cardiac electrical dysfunction, even at levels deemed compliant with outdated standards. [Question 5 & 6: Outdated Exposure Standards] I urge federal health agencies to critically re-evaluate the FCC’s General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure framework (47 CFR § 1.1310). The current Max Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits are structurally deficient: 1. Outdated 1996 Baseline: The framework relies on guidelines adopted in 1996, failing to reflect modern 5G/6G densification, multi-frequency arrays, and multi-family rooftop placements. 2. Thermal Precedent Flaw: The 1996 framework protects only against acute thermal tissue heating over short intervals. It entirely ignores the biological realities of chronic, long-term, non-thermal cumulative exposure. 3. Preemption Gaps: The Telecommunications Act of 1996 blocks local municipalities from restricting placements based on environmental health concerns if they meet FCC limits, leaving residents completely vulnerable with no legal recourse or mandatory safety buffers near living spaces. [Question 7, 8 & 9] - 3D Volumetric Spatial Auditing: Compliance frameworks must evolve past single, static center-of-the-room data points. Testing should require a standardized protocol using an extended pole assembly with a calibrated tri-axial probe to systematically plot electromagnetic energy within every individual cubic meter of residential space to map "exposure hot spots" caused by reflections off internal building materials. -…

From Copenhagen, Denmark. Right now I don’t feel the radiation but I’m aware of it’s danger. Perhaps it’s just a question of time before my body tilts.

I switch off my internet at night and when I don’t use it and I keep my phone in a protective cover and never wears it on my body. Ther are many more ways to protect yourself, but they are very pricy.

I have several 5G towers close to were I live and when I look at them I’m thinking of how much radiation they send into my body.

Next year I think we are going to have smartmeters installed, but I will do what I can to prevent it.

Health effects from wireless radiation are not always obvious, but the cumulative burden could be far greater than we realize. Please help us find out how to minimize the harm.

I am glad HHS is 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 investigating this important issue.
