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…)WiFi 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):Since it became ubiquitous in people's homes - over a decade. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:Insomnia, vertigo, restlessness, panic attacks. 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:Immediately started experiencing insomnia. Over time, other side effects occurred, including vertigo, restlessness, and panic attacks when exposed. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?No, because the medical field doesn't acknowledge the harmful effects of EMF radiation. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?Yes, I only use hardwired internet in my home and unplug the WiFi router when traveling. However, if I am unable to unplug the router when traveling or visiting friends, I experience the negative effects. 3g. Any supporting documentation?

Original comment · unedited text

I, Morgan K, submit this filing as testimony and consideration the the HHS review of radio frequency and electro magnetic frequencies which include wifi routers, smart meters, cellular towers, 5g, 4g, 3g, 2.6g, all smart phones and cellular phones, fiber optics, wifi towers and antennaes. I am extremely concerned for the health of myself, my children, my pets and all humans who are subject to very detrimental and damaging frequencies that have been overtly studied and found to cause extreme disease, cancer and even death. I have been experiencing negative effects from RF since I was 18 years old when I began to notice terrible headaches any time I would use my celllular phone to my head. I soon began to notice that the DECT cordless phone would cause me to have insomnia if I did not unplug them and take the batteries out. Some of my primary concerns are cell towers, antennas and wifi towers within 5 miles of homes and schools. My children and I have suffered from RF exposure that caused headaches and migraines, dizziniess, inabiltiy to focus, learning difficulties and disabilities, insomnia, elevated cortisol levels, extreme heating to the head and more. Findings from many studies including the ones I have attached to this filing show without a down that these inorganic frequencies are causing these symptoms and more. They are also causing infertility, birth defects and long term impact on unborn children. As stated in the paper titled A review of potential health risks of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure from mobile phones and base stations in children and pregnant women (see attached), "It has been reported that chronic exposure to low-intensity GSM-like radiation (900 MHz) in female Sprague–Dawley rats shows mixed outcomes. There have been no pathological changes in Short-term studies, whereas long-term studies indicate significant reduction in survival (~9%)." So even lower frequencies as low as DECT 900mHz cordless phones pose a huge risk to humans and the environment. My mother has been effected by these dangerous frequencies when she was diagnosed with cancer. The correlation between RF and Cancer has been demonstrated by the studies I have…

I am writing to let you know how EMF's, RF Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure have personally impacted me, plus share their impact on several of my friends. I admit that I am addressing them as an entity, as I do not have access to technology that can single out any one risk to life. But I do have access to my own life experience. "Smart" electric meter: Duke Energy installed one on my house without my prior knowledge. Subsequently, I began to experience frequent awakening during the night; the "smart" meter was located at the far end of my home, away from my bedroom. After a convoluted process involving Duke Energy and notarized paperwork from my primary care physician, I was finally able to get it replaced with a manual read meter, resulting in improved sleep. Two friends of mine both experienced major sleep disruption as they live in a condo with "smart" meters just outside their bedrooms. One has now moved out and is experiencing improved energy and health. The other, financially unable to relocate, created his own inside protections to help shield his bedroom; he, too, is experiencing improved health and functioning. Cell towers: the more that go up, the worse I feel. My personal symptoms include awakening suddenly in the middle of the night with a vibrating, quivering, physical sensation in my chest and abdomen of several minutes duration. Please note that three male friends, of varying ages and with whom I compare such experiences, all experienced similar sensations on that same night around that same time. And this has recurred multiple times since. While it does not seem to be related to age or gender, it may have something to do with our more sensitive temperaments (all are empaths, three of us are healers). We've concluded that someone "turned up the juice" at those times. A woman whom I've met told me that she has to sleep in her car on the Blue Ridge Parkway to get a better night's sleep. Cell phones: have you ever witnessed a bright, personable child evolve into a zombi-like young teenager, after she was given a cell phone by her grandparents (against the wishes of her parents)? I have. It's tragic. Just look around. So many people are…

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

I am responding from the perspective of a concerned member of the public.

The pervasive increase in wireless radiation has eroded my, and numerous friend's wellbeing. Confusion/poor concentration, tinnitus, fatigue, muscle weakness, and insomnia have become issues as no where I can go anymore is safe. My home which is supposed to be my sanctuary but is flooded with fields no matter how much I turn off, unplug, and how many circuit breakers I switch off.

I support HHS 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 providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

Subject: Professional Comments on EMF/RF Exposure Frameworks and Public Health Observations From a professional standpoint within the Michigan legal and advocacy sector, this comment is submitted anonymously to safeguard organizational identities while contributing vital observations gathered from public intake. Over a period of several years, a number of individuals have sought professional consultation regarding physical grievances, environmental instability, and institutional barriers stemming from exposure to various electromagnetic fields (EMF) and radiofrequency (RF) frequencies. Many complaints show a deeper concern regarding pulsating frequencies in particular – Wi-Fi, 5G, and Bluetooth are common issues. Primary concerns brought forward during these consultations involve radio frequencies emitted by consumer wearables and cellular devices, with 5G infrastructure frequently cited as an accelerating factor. Furthermore, individuals have reported sensitivities to workplace LED lighting systems introduced into healthcare and commercial facilities, as well as providing an outpouring of criticism regarding outdoor LED lighting creating vision difficulty and a blinding effect. A distinct subset of inquiries involves the recent rapid deployment of fiber-optic installations. Documentation presented during these intakes indicates that standard installations frequently fail to prioritize the mitigation of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Specific technical areas of concern include improper grounding techniques and the utilization of copper tracer wires. There is significant concern that the integration of 5G and small-cell infrastructure onto existing tracer wires inadvertently elevates ambient radiation within residential zones. Additionally, the strategic placement of converter stations near high-density residential areas introduces low-frequency magnetic fields that communities are ill-equipped to shield against. Consequently, individuals are increasingly requesting regulatory requirements for enhanced insulation, structural shielding, and strict hardwired enforcement policies that explicitly prohibit the retrofitting or attachment of wireless small-cell…

Original comment · unedited text

Public Comment — HHS-OASH-2026-0397 I hold a PhD in Biomedical Sciences (Molecular Medicine) from the University of Iowa and a BSc in Biology from Tufts University. My background includes over three years of medical training in an MD/PhD program, biomedical research, and environmental health research development. My current work focuses on real-time indoor fungal monitoring and citizen-science approaches to understanding environmental exposures and health. I have personally experienced significant illness associated with water-damaged, mold-affected indoor environments. I cannot establish that electromagnetic fields (EMFs) contributed to my illness, nor am I reporting confirmed electromagnetic hypersensitivity. My experience has nevertheless reinforced the importance of investigating poorly characterized environmental exposures before preventable harms become widespread. Biological mechanisms: Non-ionizing radiation lacks sufficient photon energy to directly ionize molecules, but that distinction does not establish biological inertness. Human physiology depends on membrane potentials, ion transport, and electrochemical signaling. Under appropriate conditions, external electric and time-varying magnetic fields induce currents and affect excitable tissues, as demonstrated by medical applications such as transcranial magnetic stimulation. These established effects do not prove that everyday wireless exposures cause neurological harm. They do justify evaluating specific frequencies, field strengths, modulation patterns, and durations rather than treating non-ionizing status alone as a safety determination. Environmental interactions: I encourage HHS to examine whether EMFs can influence indoor fungal physiology, including growth, sporulation, allergen production, oxidative-stress responses, or secondary metabolism. This is a hypothesis, not an established explanation for mold-related illness. Evidence that ordinary household wiring, Wi-Fi, or cellular signals increase mold virulence or toxicity is insufficient. Controlled studies should compare realistic exposures with sham conditions and measure fungal outcomes while controlling for moisture, temperature,…
