#3: I am commenting regarding the FCC's response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals' remand concerning its decades-old highly outdated radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. The FCC should fully consider the overwhelming evidence and real-world experiences concerning the health and environmental impacts of wireless radiation, including non-cancer health effects, impacts on children, long-term and cumulative exposure, cancer, and impacts on wildlife and the environment and critically also bees and pollinators that we all rely on for our food!” *A major review by Germany’s NABU and other NGOs analyzed 190 studies, finding that 72 out of 83 scientifically relevant studies reported negative effects of non-ionizing radiation on insects, suggesting EMR acts as a driver of insect decline alongside pesticides and habitat loss. Here is just one study of many100s I have seen over the years documenting the harmful results of RF Microwave exposure to all biological beings, I believe the FCC and HHS should review: The landmark 2018 National Toxicology Program (NTP) study, which provided comprehensive evidence of significant health risks from radiofrequency radiation (RFR). -The NTP study demonstrated significantly increased rates of Schwannomas and malignant gliomas (brain cancers), as well as chromosomal DNA damage in rodents exposed to RFR levels mimicking lifetime human exposure. −The study is particularly critical for children because their developing bodies absorb higher RF radiation into their brains and bodies during sensitive developmental stages. −Research indicates that children’s brains absorb 2-3 times more radiation than adults, and their skull bone marrow absorbs a roughly 10-fold higher local dose, making the NTP’s findings on DNA damage and tumor growth highly relevant to pediatric vulnerability. The FCC is not a health agency and does not have expertise in medicine, biology, environmental or public health… This issue matters to me deeply because my parents suffered greatly from RF exposures, as well as myself. After moving into a house that had 3 smart meters positioned right outside our bedrooms, we all started having insomnia and low…

I live in Rio de Janeiro, and I would like to report what happened to me 2 months ago.

I consider myself moderately electrosensitive, and I had an episode of brain fog. I am an architect and was in a work meeting. After 1 hour in the same place, I started to feel discomfort and looked for what could be the cause. Generally, it is the proximity to a modem or Wi-Fi router. I didn't want to interrupt the meeting, but 15 minutes later, I could no longer pay attention to what was being discussed in the meeting, nor could I write anymore. The group had to end the meeting outside the venue so that I could continue participating.

My most common symptoms were body aches, without explanation and without a fixed location. They could appear one day and not the next. I have also experienced headaches and palpitations, but the intensity needs to be high and for a longer time. I have the Safe and Sound Pro II meter and I was able to verify this.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure.

As a concerned parent and member of the public, I support further research into the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation, particularly its long-term effects on children and other vulnerable populations.

With wireless technology becoming increasingly common in our homes, schools, and communities, I believe it is important that federal agencies thoroughly examine potential health risks, consider the experiences of individuals reporting adverse effects, and identify gaps in existing research.

I urge HHS to prioritize independent scientific research, evaluate current safety standards, and ensure that public health decisions are based on comprehensive, transparent, and up-to-date evidence.

I have suffered for the last decade from extreme sensitivity to RF and EMF. I have meters that measure both and have been able to confirm over and over that in low EMF/RF environments, my body can rest, but in high environments, I react as if it is plugged in to the wall- my whole body feels as if it is on fire (nerve pain), and I frequently experience arrhythmias in high exposure situations (again, I have confirmed this with my meters). I have been to many doctors, who can not find anything wrong with my heart or body even though they can see it reacting to outside stimuli in a very exaggerated way. I am asking for more study of this problem, as the effects of high EMF and RF exposure have been my family and it is in every public space, at high levels, so very hard to avoid if you are sensitive. My children are also sensitive and experienced very poor health when living near a tower and next to power lines. When we moved to a place that was low EMF/RF, their health issues dramatically decreased. I’d like more research to be done so that we can keep our children and vulnerable populations safe and not degrade the health of everyone else. I’m hoping for more conservative, wise use of technology in the future and I know that the science will show support for that, if it is studied and measured thoroughly and appropriately.

Thank you for providing the public with an opportunity to voice these concerns.

I am submitting this account as a mother, patient, and caregiver whose entire family experienced years of serious illness while living in a home subsequently found to have an open neutral on the electrical utility’s primary distribution system underneath our home. After leaving that home, my daughter RH, now 19, then lost 5 years of substantive education, friendships, social development, and independence due to electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), which is a sensitivity to everyday wireless signaling. I, too, continue to experience this sensitivity. RH and I have debilitating physical reactions with continued exposure to wireless signaling, including skin burns, blistering, rashes, boils, hidradenitis suppurativa, swelling, migraines, neuropathic pain, muscle tightness, dizziness, cognitive impairment, memory and processing difficulties, brain fog, exhaustion, and systemic inflammatory symptoms. For RH, attempts to return to school and ordinary activities after her year of medical leave were ineffective because of wireless signaling throughout the community. Our family moved into our Chapel Hill, NC, home in 2015. Over the following years, we developed serious neurological, cognitive, dermatological, and systemic illnesses. RH suffered profound cognitive deterioration, with neuropsychological scores in the first percentile; I developed cognitive impairment and small fiber neuropathy. After a year of our begging in 2020, Duke Energy discovered their corroded line improperly buried beneath our property. Magnetic field measurements exceeded 100 milligauss, beyond our meters’ range, and we experienced electrical shocks from metal surfaces. Unlike the electrical failure, which could be identified and escaped, wireless environments are virtually impossible to avoid. It is persistent sensitivity after moving from the home, not the history of our electrical exposure, that I am asking HHS to prioritize investigating. Without EHS, RH could have returned to life. Instead, she required medical leave, homebound education, and extensive accommodations under Section 504. Friends’ electronic devices and wireless networks became barriers to participation. She lost not only…

I have been negatively impacted by EMF radiation for many years, Exposure to EMF's have affected my health a well being. I live in a choosing community. My building has four units and a mechanicals room, which means for a number of years I have had to live with 5 smart meters on the outside wall of my living room. If I stand near these meters outside I experience debilitating nausea. I have also experienced incredible fatigue, sleep disturbance, and dizziness inside my house. I have done some shielding which is very challenging. I still do not experience the level of wellness that is my birthright. I do not have a smart phone, smart appliances or any other smart devices or equipment. Unfortunately I cannot get away from everyone else's smart phones and devices. Unfortunately I am exposed to a sea of radiation from internet, wifi, cell phone towers and all those 'smart' things in our world. I know there are many scientific studies verifying the harm to human health and well being. I am terrified of 5 G and the intended blanketing of our earth with EMF radiation to be projected from thousands of satellites towards us and all plant and animal co-inhabitants of out planet. Can our species really be that insane?

Thank you for this opportunity to speak out. I am a single female in my 60s and I am a 'Targeted Individual'. I am tracked, targeted, photographed, gang stalked and tortured electronically 24/7 and although I have been targeted for decades, the torture began February 2, 2024. I purchased an Electromagnetic Radiation Tester and that provides some feedback as to the levels of exposure in my rental home. This home was built in 2022 in a smart city and the power outlets emit very high levels over 100V/m. Inside the walls are over 200/V/m and the Smart TV's emit over 300 V/m. This is known in the targeted community as a 'Kill Box'. The extreme level of EMF/RF torture is done at night while I am asleep, and I consider this to be 'Energy harvesting' to benefit the federal data center nearby. I wake up in extreme pain with a terrible headache, body shaking uncontrollably and unable to close my hands. The extremely loud ringing in both ears causes vertigo and memory loss. I'm disabled because of it, but the SSDI will not approve disability income, even after failing my doctor's tests, hearing tests and mental examinations required by the SSA. Someone is torturing me to degrade my ability to live freely and contemplate suicide. I consider myself to be enslaved. If I go to a hotel, I will be tortured much worse than at home. If I go on a hike, people will harass me and divert me from my intended destination. If I go to the store, people will block my access to shelves or items I intend to purchase - we call it 'Gang-stalking'. I do not keep my cell phone on for more than an hour a day. I do not have wearables. They drug my water and perform procedures while I'm asleep. I wake up with injection marks, scratches, wounds and I am raped and drugged during the night. The technology they use is 'no touch' non-lethal torture, but I can feel everywhere on my body where they target and the source's general direction. There are implants in my vagina and I am raped electronically almost nonstop. They have installed a sensor in my car seat so I get no relief. My vehicle is vandalized and I'm followed and photographed everywhere I go. Once I have been tagged, a drone hits me in the…

I was living in renovated apartment in Manhattan with electrical room behind my closet wall. This room supplied several apartments around me. I didn’t recognize immidiately it was the cause of my health issues. Looking back it started with psychiatric issues to the point I was diagnosed with depression and offered antidepressants. Developed insomnia. Started to coming up with random ideas to travel and sleep away. My guests were complaining they cannot sleep in my place because of apparent ‚noise’ despite the fact there was no noise.. I was exhausted from lack of sleep. Daytime wired but tired. Them random nerve & muscle pain - went to rheumatologist, but they found nothing. Then headaches, terrible headaches like my head was about to explode ( I never had headaches prior). I remember one time I decided to go to ER, but suddenly the power went off ( in Manhattan !) and everything went black. Apparently they tested 5g that summer. Maybe it’s all coincidence or just physics - these old buildings electricity supplies were not designed for that amount of EMF. After another travel I realized my phone charger was burnt. I remember I thought ‚funny, these cables burn like my nerves’. Later on I was diagnosed with small fibers neuropathy. I felt like someone opened pandora box - I got so sick. I remembered when I was using WiFi& Bluetooth printer the air was so condensed - my tablecloth was shaking ( I recorded it). The muscles pain became unbearable, in order to do laundry on 2nd floor I had to do breaks on my way to elevator. On 1 of those trips I stopped by the door with ‚electrical Room’ sign on it and I asked myself - why the hell I didn’t see it sooner ? I bought emf radiation meter and it hit the limit in the closet next to the room. Oh and my bathroom was next to this room too. I remember once taking a bath and keeping my head under the water and asking myself - what is this weird noise ? Then I saw small vessels on my legs breaking apart. I have telangestasia ever since. I developed MCAS - the moment I took my phone to my hand - my fibers were burning and my face & chest went red from MCAS induced by radiation. I went so influenced by this exposure I couldn’t sit next to Bluetooth for month due to nerve pain - and I could always tell someone has Bluetooth on. I looked like a zombie witch gray skin and loosing hair like crazy.

Thank you for bringing the topic of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation and its impacts on human health to HHS and giving it the national attention is has so needed. I’m submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. You can find my comments and scientific research in the attached files.

thank you for the this opportunity, I have waited a long time to tell my story.

If it is possible for the HHS dept to just have a EMF dept, so our voices can be heard.

Hello,

Thank you for this opportunity to provide the DHHS with information on this important topic. In order to both provide evidence to support my concerns and to hopefully make things more easily accessible, I have included many resources in the form of a PDF document that also contains my personal comment in reply to the invitation to provide our experiences with exposure to these technologies. I am a former military spouse and was born on a military base in Fort Knox Kentucky and then married a member of the National Guard who eventually decide to join the Active Duty military. I will be providing my personal experiences as someone that has potentially been a human research subject that I provide the background of this history in my attached comment. I know that the DHHS' NIH in 2011 under former President Barack Obama had formed his Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, and my comment will include evidence to support my own personal history with similar experiences to those who gave their testimony; though I admit that I ran out of time to put together a much more detailed testimony, but I hope that what I have provided will give the DHHS enough information on my experiences that I began having in the late 1990's time frame. There are many people reporting this and we all would like to have a Congressional hearing on this in order to bring this experimentation into the open, but I am very appreciative of this opportunity and hope that I have completed my comment as requested in the Commenter's Checklist.

Thank you

Please see my attached Affidavit.

I believe I am experiencing symptoms of Havana Syndrome, which has been connected to directed energy exposure. When I went to my nearest medical facility for help, they acted like they had no idea what it was and basically told me they were not equipped to help me. I suffer with these very painful symptoms and experiences DAILY.... extreme pressure in the head, feelings of choking, clogged ears, pressure behind my eyes and vision issues, unexplianed bands of heat around my neck and under my breastline. During one incident my spine felt like it was on fire. In the last MONTH, most of the joints in my body have begun experiencing sudden clicking, from my spine, to my neck, to my knees, to my wrists. During another incident I experienced what I can only describe as the feeling of coolent flowing through my entire body like liquid through a tube. I have also had many degrading experiences with my genitals as well. I have full body muscle weakness, brain fog. One incident included severe abdominal burning, which is now causing extreme shortness of breath DAILY. Let's not forget the nightly sleep depreivation. A lot of the damage happens while I'm trying to sleep. I wake up feeling like I'm burning, so I jump out of my bed and move to the couch. I burn there and I attempt to sleep sitting at the dining room table. I burn there and I literally lay down in the hallway. I burn there and I move and lay down in the entryway. I have even moved outside and attempted to sleep on our porch swing. I get very little sleep in a night, as you can imagine. Please help me and all the members of this tortured community.

See attached file(s) Katie Webb, QuantaX Technology HHS-OASH-2026-0397 HHS must act now to reduce unnecessary wireless radiation exposure and protect biological fidelity: the precision with which living systems develop, regulate energy and information, repair damage, and recover. I support and present John Coates's complete comment, included in the attached PDF with my position statement and our illustrated plausible pathways. Low-fidelity biology is the upstream vulnerability HHS must investigate and prevent. Mistimed calcium signals, mitochondrial and redox mismatch, impaired repair, and persistent compensation can reduce the reserve needed for healthy development and later challenges. The S4–Mito–Spin framework connects these processes through specific molecular targets and measurable functions. A standard based on average absorbed energy cannot, by that number alone, characterize biological timing, recovery, or developmental susceptibility. The cancer evidence demands action. NTP and the Ramazzini Institute reported malignant heart schwannomas in male rats. The WHO-commissioned animal review rated evidence for increased glioma and heart schwannoma as high certainty. Melnick and Moskowitz (2026), applying EPA risk-assessment methods, calculated that the public whole-body limit is 15–900 times above modeled exposure levels for one additional cancer per 100,000 people, depending on daily exposure duration, and 8–24 times above their male-reproductive protection estimates. HHS and EPA must derive health-based limits and reduce avoidable exposure while completing that assessment. Put the Yale developmental findings at the center. Aldad and colleagues found hyperactivity, impaired memory, and altered prefrontal-cortex synaptic transmission in mice exposed prenatally to cellular-phone radiation. Yale's senior author described the experiment as showing that prenatal cell-phone exposure caused ADHD-like behavioral problems in mice. Cakir and colleagues subsequently identified delayed radial-glial differentiation and BET-mediated developmental effects in human cortical organoids. A developing child gets one chance at each developmental window. HHS must respond with…

Why is NJ PSE&G charging me $12.00 per month for not having a SmartMeter installed in my home? It emits radiation that causes cancer and I have cancer. My doctors advised against the SmartMeter, even if it emits low radiation. They refuse to stop charging me the $12.00. PSE&G should pay me a refund of all these months of charging me the unnecessary and unauthorized bill of $12.00. I offered to read the meter myself and call or phone it in, but PSE&G advised me on the phone that, "This is not a discussion!". Please intervene on my behalf and stop these $12.00 charges. Please advise. Thank you. Susan Scherman, RN, BA, CSN

To Whom It May Concern, In August 2012, at 3:AM while I was sound asleep, I was suddenly jolted awake by a painful electrical brain shock. The surge started in my head, ran down my spine, and my heart raced with adrenalin. It was such a strong jolt it felt like a punch in the stomach. This was the start of a 6-year-long search for a diagnosis to the brain shocks that became my nightly horror. My symptoms were debilitating. Not only was I having brain shocks, I had nausea, tinnitus, vertigo, neuropathy, and random nosebleeds. During this time, I saw many different specialists, but none could give me an answer. One day, while searching the internet for "brain shocks", I found information that led me to microwave radiation/RF exposure and symptoms. What caught my attention was "nosebleeds". I had not had a nosebleed since I was a child until these brain shocks started. On the internet I was able to find more info and speak with others that were having similar symptoms. The symptoms became more obvious to me that my shocks were from wireless radiation. The worst culprits were the Smart Meters pulsing wireless radiation outside my bedroom window 24/7. The Electric & Gas Company installed them on every home without warning. There were 3 smart meters outside my bedroom wall. My shocks began with the installation of these smart meters... AND... being outside my bedroom wall explains why the shocks came at night while I was sleeping in that room. I bought an RF measuring meter and began removing anything with wireless radiation. I had my Smart Meter exchanged back to the original analog meter. Removing all these things made a big difference in my health but I still had to deal with my neighbor's two Smart Meters located outside my bedroom wall. I tried sleeping in other rooms in my house but still felt electrical "shivers" (like mild shocks). So I decided to build a Faraday Cage to sleep in. A faraday cage is made of fine gauge metal screen on all 6 sides. Microwave radiation cannot pass through the screen. I have been sleeping well in my faraday (for 7 years) with 8 hours of restful sleep every night. I still watch my RF exposure during the day going out in the world…

15 years ago, the 'straw that broke the camels back' was a zero turn lawn mower - a little larger than the average. Started getting rashes as I mowed my 12 acres over a 3 week period. Third week i got a rash on my breast - not good. Never sick at 55 years old and as I went to Naturaopathic Doctor found I had cancer, lyme and started noticing everything electric, magnetic and wireless was affecting the cancer and could feel each exposure. Now 15 years later, cancer is gone though I can feel the old spos activate with much exposure at all, I can still feel all electric, magnetic and wireless exposures. Only got better because i built a zero wireless radiation home with ultra low exposure to electric and magnetic radiation... and I stay in it most of the time. I can't live a 'normal' life - though yes, I am thankful this has led me away from being one of the zombies walking around with head down staring at their screens. This is an entire human experience problem - not just about those of us who can't function normally. Can't go on trips with a group of people in cars, can't stay long at family gatherings, have to put up with close family members being mad at me because I need them to turn their phones off in my mostly safe home, have no hope of ever being in a serious relationship again because no one will give up their wireless technology permanently for another person, can't take care of my own yard (magnetic field) and SO much more. I cry as I type this though I haven't cried about it in a long time, just seeing the whole picture of what has happened in 15 years. BUT I have found purpose and fulfillment in helping others because though it took me years to figure out and get somewhat better, others are completely devastated and don't know what to do or where to turn for help - having a high suicide rate. It's only a matter of time before each person will have their 'lifetime radiation cup' filled (all at different times) and will have to go through this... for the rest of their life. Is someone going to stop it? It's long past due! Please help. Everyone is inflamed (many to the point of cancer), can't sleep (their cells are vibrating), brain fog and memory…

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS's Request for Information on EMG, RF and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am a concerned member of the Public and I support HHS in taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation.
