Our environment is a shared, communal resource. The air we breathe, the land we inhabit, and the spaces where our children grow are not the exclusive property of industry, companies, utilities, or stockholders. Yet corporations profit from infrastructure that introduces electromagnetic exposures into environments shared by families with little opportunity to object. Telecommunications providers, SMUD, PG&E, and Comcast benefit economically from expanding electrical and wireless infrastructure. Meanwhile, children and communities may bear environmental and health risks without informed participation, compensation, or adequate long-term scientific assurances. The profits are privatized, while potential risks are distributed across the public. As a mother, I invest my body, time, resources, and energy into my children's health. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, nutrition, education, and medical care are investments in their neurological development, cellular health, and future well-being. Why should corporations introduce additional environmental exposures without adequately demonstrating their long-term safety for developing children? Children are stakeholders. They cannot negotiate exposure conditions, commission independent studies, or participate in infrastructure decisions. Their inability to consent creates a greater ethical responsibility for adults, corporations, and government agencies. The long-term neurological effects of chronic RF exposure, particularly during critical developmental periods, warrant independent investigation. I am concerned about mitochondrial function, cellular homeostasis, oxidative stress, neurological signaling, reproductive development, and potential intergenerational consequences. The absence of conclusive evidence of harm does not establish safety under every exposure condition. There is also a serious security concern. Telecommunications and electrical infrastructure are increasingly interconnected with digital control systems. Cybersecurity vulnerabilities, unauthorized access, deliberate interference, and malicious manipulation deserve independent assessments. These systems should be protected against misuse, including intentional…

It’s horrible seeing my sister in law go through this and feel sick from wireless. They need to research this more, and set real standards for safety and health based on science. The wireless industry is not protecting our health. We need more protection from public health agencies and effort to examine the effects of RF radiation on our health without delay.

1. Who I am professionally: I am a licensed professional counselor and life coach practicing in Texas, mostly in DFW area. More EMF in multifamily residences. I lived in Ft Worth for 16 years and relocated to Dallas in 2025. I have rented an apartment in both cities rather than owned or rented a home. This is important to mention because from my personal apartment, I have been within range of as many as 25 other residents’ Wi-Fi sources. Which means I have been within range of the effects of the EMF from their wireless devices. My experience in the Ft Worth apartment homes was with high magnetic EMF and somewhat lower RF inside my unit. The most significant measurements for EMF are from my current apartment home in Dallas. At my current apartment, there are 11 smart meters located approximately 6 ft. from my bed mounted on the outside wall of the building and located outside the bedroom of the unit directly below me. The measured RF in my bedroom is higher than I’ve ever lived with before. They range from 600-1500 uW/m2 at the level of the bed and 400-4,000 uW/m2 at the level of the floor. Both of these values register either in the severe or extreme range for frequencies recommended for sleeping areas. The highest levels are in the living area. They range from 19,000 uW/m2 – 40,000 uW/m2 and are located over the location of the wi-fi device in the unit below mine. Other averages in the unit are from 400-24,000 in the living/dining areas. 2. What I have observed and experienced physically: First, I want to state that I have prioritized my health since I was 13 years old. Committed to exercise, healthy diet, outdoor activities, good choices for indoor activities, friendships, etc. I’ve lived a healthy life. I’ve had no need for regular prescription medications other than an occasional antibiotic when I was in my teens. I’ve been fortunate to sleep well, feel energized and motivated, and live a healthy mental/emotional life. Since the jump to 4G and especially 5G, and in the residences I’ve been living in, I’ve experienced the following: • Sleep disturbance • Anxiety (never before in my life had I experienced anxiety) • Restlessness • Cognitive slowing that is…

Original comment · unedited text

I am a senior woman and have been Electrosensitive for over 25 years, starting with a Nokia analog cell phone. The radiofrequency prevalance has made my life exceedingly challenging, to the point where I could no longer find places to rent that I could tolerate because of the proliferation of Wifi and other wireless pharaphenalia. That forced me to live in a van for the last 4 years, not my first choice, but a survival necessity.

I have been aware of health risks from Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) and RF wireless radiation for many years. Here is a website that has a list of research links for your consideration: https://ehtrust.org/send-science-to-the-fcc-govt-is-asking-for-evidence-you-can-help-now/ Because I have been aware of the dangers, to the best of my ability, I have created a safe environment for my husband, our son, and I where I can better control the RF wireless radiation levels inside of our home. We do not have WIFI in our home and haven't for years. We have internet but we have it safely hard-wired. We kindly ask anyone entering our home to please turn off their Cellular Data, Bluetooth, and WIFI on their phones and tablets as my husband and I do the same. Rarely do we need to use the internet on our phones but if we do, we do it quickly and away from our son and then once we are done, we make sure to turn it back off, immediately. We have asked our neighbors to apply faraday cages on their digital meters and they gladly obliged. We take all these measures, and I could go on listing more, because we are aware of the dangers of exposure to EMF and other sources of RF wireless radiation. We do the best we can, to control what we can, knowing once we leave our house, it's a battle zone of cell towers, cell phones, wireless and digital “smart” utility meters, public Wi-Fi, and other sources of RF wireless radiation. The last thing I want on or around my home and my child is a cell tower or wireless smart meter. I am completely opposed to 2-way wireless "smart" utility meters, digital utility meters, and opt-out fees. Wireless smart meters are data collecting devices that were forced on Americans and they emit harmful radiation. I have participated and continue to participate in state and national campaigns asking for utility meter choice legislation. I have collected signatures of Ohioans opposed to these meters and have sent them to state lawmakers. Here is a link for a national campaign for utility meter choice legislation: https://childrenshealthdefense.org/community-forum/support-utility-meter-choice/ I have filed several complaints already about smart and digital meters…

Original comment · unedited text

As an American physician, I am deeply concerned that U.S. electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure standards have not been updated since 1996 and address only thermal effects. In a rapidly evolving wireless environment, outdated guidelines warrant rigorous reassessment. Current permitted exposure levels exceed recommendations from building biologists and most other countries. As cell towers, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, smart meters, electric vehicles, and other wireless technologies proliferate, finding places with reduced exposure is increasingly difficult for sensitive individuals. Dismissing validated non-thermal effects simply because this radiation is non-ionizing ignores biologically important interactions. My own experience with electrohypersensitivity (EHS), since 2017, has included insomnia, migraines, lightheadedness, trigeminal neuropathy, and tinnitus, associated with nearby Bluetooth devices, cell towers or transformer stations. I reduce exposure to cope: avoiding housing near towers, limiting Bluetooth, using wired headphones and computer peripherals, keeping devices on airplane mode, disabling Wi-Fi overnight. I have had to leave certain hotels and forgo modern conveniences such as smart-home devices and electric vehicles. Even ordinary appliances increasingly incorporate unnecessary and unavoidable wireless or bluetooth connectivity (air filters, electric toothbrushes, etc), making exposure reduction difficult. The expansion of data centers is concerning due to EMFs from the facilities themselves and associated high-powered electrical infrastructure. Public participation in decisions about cell towers, power lines, and data centers is extremely limited (my own community fighting a data center build with the guise of public input,) leaving residents with little control over exposures. My patients have described a range of concerning experiences: man in his 40s with occupational exposure linked radiation-associated cancer; mid-aged female with cognitive decline and severe EHS after a transformer was installed near her home; a veteran whose military exposures have forced him into homelessness and food insecurity in Minnesota's winters as he can't tolerate…

1. & 2. I am responding as an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…) Bluetooth, Wifi, flying in airplanes (maybe due to wifi and all the devices?) 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years): I finally healed it and am no longer intolerant, except the radiation from flying in airplanes is still quite hard on me (thus I rarely fly). I keep Bluetooth turned off on my devices because it will still give me a headache. Ok with wifi now. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced: Headaches, heart palpitations, dizziness, vertigo, brain fog 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: Yes, I had symptoms appear in 2018 after years of happily using technology. We discovered (after hiring a specialist to inspect our home with various meters) that we were directly in the path of a radar tower, and the house (big open kitchen/living room with huge windows in the Berkeley Hills) was being hit with radar every 12 seconds. I left that house and felt immediately better. Also good to add that I had extensive radiation from PET and CT scans during cancer treatment 2011-2013, so I think I was overdosed and that contributed to my heightened sensitivity/reaction to it. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis? I saw many doctors, and no one diagnosed it as EMF intolerance. I realized it on my own after getting away from all Wi-Fi, turning devices off, and finally feeling OK. Then I saw that when a device or Wi-Fi was nearby, symptoms returned. I met others with the same symptoms and was validated. Began my recovery process. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects? I had to move to a small cabin in the woods away from everything and quit my job (couldn't use a computer or phone), then was able to use a computer when hard-wired through Ethernet. I felt immediately better! 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant…
