Please create meaningful EMF standards. Good effects will redound in human health and our beloved natural world, and will stimulate our economy. Of course you are familiar with the U.S. National Toxicology Program’s 2018 “most extensive study to date,” determining that cell phone emissions cause tumors in male rats and DNA damage. https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/whatwestudy/topics/cellphones/index.html?utm_source=direct&utm_medium=prod&utm_campaign=ntpgolinks&utm_term=cellphone Immediately addressing the exposure of our school children seems a natural priority. My own story: Awareness of EMF sensitivity came to me after 54 years of age. Perhaps that’s when SmartMeters and a nearby Verison hotspot came in, or — as effects are cumulative — maybe that’s when my bucket overflowed, so to speak. My sensitivity spiked on a single day, after a medical test that day. Thereafter, there was no place in my house I could sleep before purchasing a sleep canopy — which is fragile, difficult to maintain, and does not stop all EMFs. And I continued to lose health from daytime exposure. I had a breast cancer operation in 2008, and was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease thereafter. I sold that house and moved. As you doubtless know, there are many, many symptoms which vary per human body and source, focus, direction, timing, and power of signal or flow. I seem sensitive to all three types of EMFs. Inability to sleep and feeling unwell are perhaps the words to describe my most abiding symptoms. Before selling my unhealthy house, from which I couldn’t move before finding a healthy place, I got down to 88 pounds (height 5’5”) despite eating 5000-6000 calories a day. After four years of recovery in a healthy-EMFwise location, seldom venturing into the world, I’m back at 120 pounds and feeling good. Hashimotos disease has disappeared. But my EMF sensitivity continues to grow, despite my seeking medical and energetic cures. I am unable to withstand exposure in work places, so I can’t work; a doctor exempted me from jury duty; I am grateful for protective film in my car windows. I laugh: I am one of the few to benefit from Covid precautions; six feet of distance in checkout lines makes others’ cell phones easier to bear. Monetary costs are of course significant: selling and buying houses, cancer treatment, seeking medical remedies to EMF harms, being unemployed. One knows that my new house may become untenable too, since the telecommunications industry calls the shots. I know others who are EMF sensitive. One is housebound at 50. Others don’t want it known that they are sensitive or feeling unwell, beset, pained. One of my silent EHS friends is an M.D. Another is a school official. I imagine that these standards would limit most stringently the harmful frequencies currently in common use (frequencies originally used, as I hear, in military weapons research). If I were in your position, I would favor the building biology guidelines for dwellings and places where children or the sick congregate. Knowing that those limits will be exceeded many places, work toward safety would be done in stages, first with no new installation or upgrades permitted in impacted areas; second with phased reductions in permitted output of damaging EMFs. Much more healthful frequencies exist, and technological improvements to favor health can offer great economic opportunities and environmental improvement. Some healthier options are already available, but cannot compete against the entrenched practices while those are allowed to set the standard. I wish courage, far-sightedness, and compassion to attend you in your considerations.
