See attached file(s) I am doing my best to expose a major multiple systems problem that goes way beyond human biology and crosses into many systems responding simultaneously to multiple exposures. We are more than human and what we are is much broader than our system realizes, and the narrowness of our systemic structures fails us.

Any efforts to protect the public from potential harmful effects of electromagnetic emissions is greatly appreciated. Precautionary measures are important. Also important is to take seriously the concerns and requests of those who have been harmed due to electromagnetic emissions.

Thank you for this opportunity to comment. I'm an attorney and I'll get straight to the point. As you may know, in the US, personal‑injury suits against telecom companies for harm from RF/EMF radiation have a very low success rate, and there is no well‑established "winning" strategy. The two walls that defeat most of these cases are (1) proving medical causation — courts require you to show your specific illness was caused by the radiation, and the US scientific record has not met that bar — and (2) federal preemption under Section 704 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, which bars local/state regulation of towers based on health risk and has been used to preempt state tort claims. Government action is long overdue. There is much the HHS can do to help electromagnetic radiation (EMR) victims in the United States. To wit: 1. Upgrade the NTP carcinogen classification (biggest single lever) The National Toxicology Program (part of HHS) already found in 2018 that RF radiation is "reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen" — the weakest tier in the Report on Carcinogens, based on a 10-year, ~3,000-animal rat study. If HHS upgraded this to "known" human carcinogen, it would: Give plaintiffs a federally endorsed causal finding to cite at summary judgment, directly attacking the #1 barrier (causation) Support failure-to-warn claims: if the government classified the hazard, defendants can't argue they "didn't know" Be hard for courts to ignore — federal agency findings carry substantial evidentiary weight 2. Fund and publish definitive human epidemiology NIEHS (NIH) could run or commission a large prospective cohort study of RF exposure and specific health outcomes. A published HHS finding of a dose-response relationship would be the strongest possible causation evidence. The current NIEHS position — "the probability that EMF exposure is truly a health hazard is currently small" — is what defense lawyers cite to kill cases. 3. FDA: set lower performance standards + require warnings FDA has authority under 21 CFR Part 1030 over RF-emitting electronic products. It could: Lower MPE limits below current FCC levels (which are based on thermal effects only, not non-thermal)…

I wish I didn't suffer or have a sensitivity to EMFs, but I do... I am a tech person, and at times, I must limit my exposure due to my sensitivity or the side effects that may occur... I have a drone, and yet there are times I cannot fly it because I cannot stand the pain or pressure that it brings on to my head and my chest... If I fight the pain or try to ignore it, I get angry, easily agitated, and sometimes become full of rage! I do not like feeling like that. I am a kind person, a protector, and someone who would go out of my way to help anyone in need. I do not like the feelings that I get around certain devices. It has only become harder to go out in public or to other homes. May it be customers' houses, visiting friends or family, all because of this wireless technology. There is nothing SMART about being hit and surrounded by non-ionizing microwave radiation ALL day long in your HOME... I can say for me, the signals emitted from a cell phone with service but data and wifi OFF I don't notice or feel any different. I practice turning my data OFF when I don't use it. I do NOT use WIFI it affects me the worst. If I must, it's in a controlled area only to update devices that don't accept Ethernet cable with adapters. Newer phones, particularly "Samsung" and "Apple," At times, I can hardly stand to be near one. It can cause a long list of side effects, including vertigo, chest pain/pressure, depression, anger, trouble thinking, to name a few, and can occur as fast as someone just showing me a picture on their device. For 6 years or more, I suffered in my own home because of an active micro cell that is less than 30ft from my pillow. Living here was a brutal punishment... It was torture 24 hours a day for an individual like myself... I spent thousands of dollars to protect myself and my family... The products that worked best were shungite, shielding clothing, and silver fiber bed canopies. It gave me some relief, or should I say protection, from this weapons-like device. I am happy to say that for over the past year or more I feel normal again in our home! I never thought I would say "It is good to be home!" ever again... I never thought I would feel normal…

This document provides a detailed, chronological account of a persistent and coordinated campaign of harassment, physical surveillance, unauthorized medical intervention, and digital and financial compromises. These actions began in 2021 within the New York City shelter system, continued through an involuntary hospitalization in July 2025, and have persisted following a relocation to Indianapolis, Indiana. The specific physical symptoms and environmental anomalies detailed below align closely with documented public profiles of electromagnetic frequency (EMF), radiofrequency (RF), microwave, and cyber interference. I. NEW YORK CITY SHELTER SYSTEM AND INITIAL SURVEILLANCE (2021–2025) The campaign began in 2021 while navigating the New York City municipal shelter system. During this period, a high-density tracking protocol was established, consisting of continuous human surveillance. Individuals executed organized proximity stalking routines both on foot and by vehicle to track daily movements, commutes, and routines. Concurrently, technological and environmental interference was documented. Fixed hardware nodes were positioned near immediate living spaces within these facilities, broadcasting low-frequency carrier waves directed at the living quarters, which disrupted sleep patterns and enforced a state of systematic isolation. II. FINANCIAL AND DIGITAL COMPROMISES (2021–PRESENT) During the 2021–2022 period, the targeting expanded into financial and cyber vectors. Personal bank accounts were actively hacked and compromised, disrupting financial stability. Furthermore, from 2021 through the present day, personal electronic devices, phone networks, and private communications have faced ongoing unauthorized access, device manipulation, and electronic surveillance. III. DETECTED FREQUENCY INDICATORS AND PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS Between 2021 and 2025, the ongoing environmental disruptions were accompanied by specific physical, neurological, and auditory anomalies that correlate with recognized profiles of electromagnetic and radiofrequency interference: • Pulsed Electromagnetic Sensations: Regular experiencing of sudden, highly localized, and rhythmic physical strain,…

On the evening of October 11, 2026 my husband and I checked into a villa to spend a 6 night vacation. I immediately started feeling dizzy. I brushed it off from being tired from the 13 hour drive.

But when I layed down in the bed my body felt like it was vibrating inside especially in my neck and throat! I was very scared! I turned my head and noticed flashing colored lights coming from a box behind the nightstand by my head. Ah Ha!! A router! We do not have one of these in our house because I know they can give me headaches and make me feel extremely exhausted.

I moved to an upstairs bedroom to try and get some sleep. ( It was 12:30 am by then)

The vibrating finally subsided after alot of deep breathing and praying!

I kept trying to wake up the next morning but I kept feeling so,so tired and aching! About 11:35 am I called the management desk and requested the router be removed immediately. They did but the 1st day of my vacation was ruined. I felt like I had been run over!!

I had to lay down and rest every afternoon and take aspirin for aching!

So I'm supposed to check for routers and cell towers near any place I spend the night? Really!!

2: My perspective:myself & family 3a-c: WIFI mouse – rash on hand appeared after ~1yr. Wouldn’t go away until I stopped using it for a week. Rash came back upon return to use. Returned to wired mouse & rash hasn’t returned. AMR smart electric meter (precursor to AMI): Power company advised it transmitted data ~ 1-1:30 a.m., coinciding with same time I had begun awakening suddenly every night. I had the meter removed and replaced with a non-transmitting meter and now sleep through night (WIFI, bluetooth, & cell phone off also.) AMI smart electric meter (pulses every few seconds): installed without parents’ knowledge, on same wall where Dad’s (w/pacemaker) bed was. He experienced sudden decline in health, inexplicable bloodwork; Dr later said was very likely due to AMI meter (once that coinciding installation was discovered & discussed.) AMI meter replaced with a non-Smart meter and his blood work and health improved. AMI meters are also invasion of privacy with the data collection. WIFI & bluetooth(home): over time & exposure, several symptoms became regular occurrence: nervous tension, unexplained anxiety, heart palpitations, irritability, agitation, short-temper, brain fog, headaches, restless sleep (myself & family–bulk of/worst of symptoms alleviated when began keeping WIFI & bluetooth off most of the time, especially at night.) Still have some low-level symptoms; neighbors’ WIFI still infiltrates the house. WIFI (schools): mid-way through my child’s schooling, WIFI boosters were installed in the ceilings in the middle of classrooms. My child began to complain of headaches and agitation, and harder to focus. Symptoms would go away during Summer months & return when back in school. One of the schools was in very close proximity to a cell tower. Anecdotally, several cases of childhood leukemia and teachers with cancer have arisen over the yrs. WIFI + cell boosters (office): Installed ~every 30 feet on ceilings starting ~2018 & expanding throughout whole building complex during 2020-2024 era. Symptoms began shortly after installation and close daily exposure-i.e. creepy crawly sensation on skin, especially scalp/brain, low level to escalating headache and…

Please please, please take action to help us on the road. The bright headlights and " fog lights " are so horribly bright, a person can't even see the fog line to help while being blinded by the oncoming lights of othe cars and trucks and motorcycles!

It used to be illegal to drive with the high beams on. Affecting other drivers. These modern lights are brighter than anything from our past. I literally am forced to turn my sideview mirrors down and my rear view mirror up when driving at night to protect my vision from the rear. I also have a "sunscreen" I use that is attached to my visor. This is pull down to block the left side of my windshield. This makes it possible to drive home from work at night.

Biological life including humans need an environment that is fold with earths natural EMFs. Man made EMF degrades health and earth frequencies. Please reduce the exposure to man made EMFs and Radio Frequencies.

We are really in a public health emergency with all of the wireless devices and waves of exposure all around us. These exposure levels are said to be thousands of times over what could be a possible safe level where the science tells us that there really aren’t any truly safe levels for this kind of radiation (microwave exposure). There are thousands of studies, many collected in the Bioinitiative Report BioInitiative Report: A Rationale for a Biologically-based Public Exposure Standard for Electromagnetic Fields (ELF and RF) that demonstrate clearly that these exposures, even at very low levels, have dangerous biological effects. There is even an important study known as the EU Reflex Study which demonstrates that wireless radiation damages cells and DNA on pare with nuclear or gamma radiation. Reflex Study Finds Genotoxic Effects 2004 In city life we are completely surrounded and penetrated by countless exposures from every direction. There is not only the danger that comes from one cellphone,which is enormous, but the cumulative exposures from our neighbors, those coming from satellites, cell towers, smart meters, Bluetooth speakers, multiple WiFi routers in schools with multiple cellphones and other devices. It is a non-stop bombardment which is the cause of extraordinary health damage including cancers, neurological disorders, dementia ( Dr Sharon Goldberg says even in teenagers now) cardiovascular disorders, brain damage, blood toxicity, and anxiety, among many other health problems. I became extremely sensitive to these wireless microwave radio frequency radiation exposures after buying and driving an electric car. After a two hour drive I had an intense neurological breakdown where I could no longer sense the periphery of my body nor could I remember or track my thoughts. It was quite like I was experiencing dementia with a feeling of squeezing across the top of my head as well as a feeling that my brain was vibrating. I healed over time by avoiding all wireless exposures as much as possible as well as consuming large doses of many supplements, but I remain an electro sensitive person whose body is intensely disturbed by surrounding wireless exposures.…

I'm a 69 y/o resident of Portland, Oregon. In fall of 2019, I became aware that my behavior & energy levels had changed significantly. I can only describe it as a thick brain fog/zombie-like state. I didn't know why. Then, when checking my microwave oven for radiation leakage (it was leaking and I did get cataracts). I was shocked to find I was getting red warning readings whenever I approached the family room phone. This phone was a GE multiple handset phone using DECT technology. We had 7 of them spread throughout all 3 levels of our house in various rooms so that one could call someone in another part of the house and use it as an intercom system. All 7 handsets were emitting harmful levels of electromagnetic radiaton AT ALL TIMES 24/7! I know this because I invested in a meter to detect the amount of radiation. One of those headsets was on my nightstand, mere inches from my head where I was sleeping nightly for years. As soon as we disconnected the phones, the zombie-like condition and my brain fog vanished. Interestingly, around this same time I was walking around the outside of the house when I suddenly felt extremely nauseous, diizzy and began having pains in my head. I was next to our electrical meter. My EMF reader confirmed that it was emitting harmful radiation. PG&E confirmed it had recently switched out our old meter with a new SmartMeter. I asked to have it removed and have had to pay extra money every month since then because "they have to come by to read the meter". The point is, my body and brain had become sensitized/attuned to the frequency of the DECT phone. Consequences to me have been life-altering. I cannot use my cell phone. I cannot be near anyone else's cell phone that is "on" or too close to me without experiencing head pain (different from a typical headache), nausea, and dizziness. I have had to install Ethernet in my house because Wifi causes me physical pain. No more microwave oven. Basically, anytime I am surrounded by other people I am in pain from their cell phones (Ex: waiting rooms, grocery store lines, any group events, etc.). I have become largely homebound as a result. When going out, I have to wear a special cap to…

NO MORE 5G , 6G. The towers are making us sick. And feel so bad. There are children in this world we deserve the life that God wanted us to have. Stop being greedy, money is not everything in life.

My name is Salvador Roman, i was exposed a electromagnetic radiation, because in front of my house there a cell phone tower, to 50 meters, after 8 months to lived there, i was sick, i started a feel headaches, tinnitus, burning sensation in the back , it was unbearable, i leave my house after a year,i write from Mexico, thanks a lot!

The US has known for at least since 1971 about the bioeffects of RF wireless radiation exposures from the Naval Medical Research Institute Study titled, “Bibliography of Reported Biological Phenomena and Clinical Manifestations Attributed to Microwave and Radio-Frequency Radiation.” The study listed pages of symptoms resulting from RF exposures that were compiled from over 2,000 global citations on non-ionizing electromagnetic fields proving non-thermal injuries are a common side effect. Many independent studies have been done since then with similar results. There is nothing new under the sun to continue the wait to decide if RF radiation exposures can be harmful. Issue a surgeon general letter warning about RF radiation exposures being a possible carcinogen or harmful to your health with overuse or improper use of any digital device, especially with digital screen time and how it can damage your eyesight. Require labeling to display a similar message on these digital devices just like cigarettes and nicotine. Technology can be beneficial, if it is built, used and taught to be used in a safe and responsible manner. However, overdensification of neighborhoods with 175’ cell towers for Internet of Things, no wired alternative to smart meters and turning vehicles into mobile base stations is going in the wrong direction, consumes too much energy, generates too much electropollution, and makes healthy people chronically ill and/or disabled unnecessarily.

I minimize my exposure to wireless radiation because if I don't, I get debilitating headaches. My house is hard-wired to ethernet, but last year my city (Longmont CO) installed smart meters; the "opt-out" was still a smart meter creating dirty electricity. There are 4 smart meters clustered in my neighbor's yard, very close to my bedroom. I would wake up with a headache daily. I purchased a "Blushield" device to help mitigate the effect of the EMFs and that helped with my headaches. It is unbelievable that we don't have a choice about the enormous amount of EMF exposure and many people are suffering greatly. I am lucky that my symptoms are manageable, but it necessitates limiting my exposure; I cannot be in large public gatherings where everyone has their cellphone on (i.e. sporting events, lectures, concerts, etc); the last time I tried this I experienced vertigo, lightheadedness, dizziness, and nausea. PLEASE STUDY THE EFFECTS OF EMFS ON PEOPLE, especially children, as well as plants, insects (bees), and animals, before we continue into next generation 6G, 7G.

After reading this, it saddens me to know that this 5g cell tower is harming our family and all the other families without knowing it. This WILL be SHUT OFF and I'm not going to stand here and let this stay on. Staying in this household for long periods of time being next to this tower gives me so many side effects that were listed and I can't concentrate nor be as happy as I normally am when I'm away from the 5g tower. For example, In Michigan when we went to camp, I was able to think, do work around the camp ground and not have side effects, and I can actually SLEEP! These cell towers placed around our neighborhoods should be down IMMEDIATELY! No one should feel anger and so much rage as I do or even my family. As said, I have to wear an emf beanie in order to focus and do work on my computer. When the tower was shut off I was able to spend time with my family and not have anxiety or depression. Seeing my dad wake up this Wednesday morning (3/5/25) with rage and anger I knew just then and there that the towers must have been turned back on by ATT. The emf has been my only protection from these cell towers and when I feel sick or stressed the cell tower next to my parents house makes it even worse pain and suffering. This is a very sad and depressing thing that my dad has to go through this pain due to the "ElectroSmog" and seeing his family in pain makes me deeply frustrated and emotional. I am done watching ATT just turn back on the cell tower and making me feel miserable. This is not right and unacceptable! I want to live life happily with my family and enjoy the moments with them and not make life a slow and miserable death. EVERYONE'S HEALTH is on the LINE! Get rid of this cell tower now, Me and my family should not have to move away just because we feel like death.

Sincerely,

Jacob
