Research, evidence & monitoring

Besides tinnitus proliferation and NEPA requests last decade to FCC for studies showing EMF safety, which both "bought" parties blew off for profit..... re Cell phone EMF’s (ElectroMagnetic Frequencies) and their serious impacts I sort of jokingly initially referred to the problems of isolation, narcissism, "anti-"social media vs actual direct communication, general dumb-downing, etc., initiated primarily by intro of common cell use in the early 2000's, by referencing the owners’ "addicting" cell phones ( which I call StupidPhones or ViewBlockers and do not use, while I do LOVE safe hardwired fiber optics and internet). It was only a few months ago now that I changed my own thinking about that somewhat meant to be a "teasing " term, "addictive". This is when I fully realized that these people are truly ADDICTED, and denial is one of the MAIN signs of addiction. Hence the question I have been too often asked, "How can you possibly live without one???" is not a casual sort of joke, but an honest but unacknowledged admission of genuine addiction. I have shared the following info with c 150+ different individuals and organizations and only 2 have ever brought the subject back up to me, one a lawyer friend, now convinced, who has argued in front of the Supreme Court in the past, and another, a nationally renowned ornithologist who said he would now add this threat to insects, in particular, outlined below to his already existing list of 1) habitat loss , 2) overuse of herbi-pesticides (which I have battled against alone and with my students for decades), and 3) climate change (a pathetically self-exculpatory abstracted term for those in our world-exploiting “consumer culture”) From a recent search "EMF harms to Insects" PLENTY to look at..... if one looks Here are a first few This first one below reiterates the dearth of focused newer studies ( due to unwillingness of cell addicts, + Telecom influence to obfuscate and squelch). My "anecdotal" evidence of YEARS (2009 until 5G arrival in early '23) of ALWAYS seeing probably hundreds of honey and other bees, + other insects, EVERY time I would go on a run through our burbs on all the yr round flowering plants or other insects around lights at night here is, in our poor at self-examination anthronarcissistic culture, unfortunately worth little. These days since early '23, I sometimes see ZERO insects on say a similar to the past heavily flowered 9 mile jaunt. Now I revel if I see 1 dragonfly or butterfly or one bat or maybe YAY even a few honeybees, usually only on one out of many nearby blooming plants, such as an in bloom Texas Ranger, which since my arrival here in 2001 always were formerly adorned with happily foraging bees. Much referenced in this article, that sounds horrible to me already, uses phrases such as "deserves further research of such and such type ". Denial and addiction hahah ! Even the "old" and "not focused" or dismissed as 'irrelevant' studies are so troubling to me that I can SO easily see how the cell industry has capitalized on human's fascination with and addiction to these devices as OVERWHELMINGLY and quickly as possible, while practicing what I call omitformation... just like with tobacco, the covid mRNA shots, or Roundup, or petro and global warming etc Don't LIE, OMIT just leave out and obfuscate anything that might deter profit. And with those amounts of $, one can buy all sorts of elections, legislation, appointees, rules, permits, loopholes, subsidies, etc. while ignoring any adverse science and ramming through basically untested tech. Take the $ and run before you have to (maybe) pay up later when the truth emerges ( eg Bayer Monsanto and current glyphosate settlements) The worst examples of fox guarding the hen house. The Telecom bought and dominated FCC rammed through 5G with virtually ZERO safety testing. Biological effects of electromagnetic fields on insects: a systematic review and meta-analysis and https://ehtrust.org/new-scientific-review-insects-threatened-by-emfs-including-5g-and-cell-tower-and-wireless-radiation/ and I do not always agree with all Mercola puts out, but value the work he does to collate and reference his sources This also, I think, talks about often poohpoohed EMF sensitivity in humans? https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2024/04/14/health-risks-of-5g.aspx?ui=93a5ed18b3438ac769725b337148474558c3bc7313758107668f5eef905cd1e6&sd=20170417&cid_source=dnl&cid_medium=email&cid_content=art1ReadMore&cid=20240414_HL2&foDate=false&mid=DM1557196 here are the links to the beekeeper association's' related studies I shared out a few yrs ago, now 3 yrs old https://www.beeculture.com/electromagnetic-radiation-part-1/ https://www.beeculture.com/electromagnetic-radiation-part-2/ Not sure exactly where I have also read about re cell radiation links to ADHD ( finally ! as I watched my students dumb down and lose focus since cell proliferation, even the very brightest we might send off to Exeter et similis), to hormone disruption in all animals, interference with plant cycles, various cancers from extra close regular exposure ( a small but well done study of Israeli electrical workers) etc etc .. NO PROBLEM HERE !!! just Scroll away and ignore wherever you are and whomever you might be with and your impact on the planet ! (why I call them ViewBlockers) $$$$$$$$$$ "normal" see... we "All" do it ! As I have mentioned to many before I believe, although I'd be happiest with close to zero cell EMF bombardment, the bees etc "seemed" OK with yrs of just 3 and 4 G and the same stupid overuse of herbicides and pesticides I have battled against for years that has not changed significantly since 5 G arrival. .......and more "anecdotal" evidence. when far enough away from urban sub-urban 5G's limited range of blanketing , say out at Corn Creek DNWR HQ miles from the expanding burbs (still !) or out in the wilderness desert and mts near me, I still see more insects. ( hard to believe but supposedly there are over 700 species of bees native to our Clark County !!!! must be some awesome specialization) PLENTY to see ......If one wants to look into all this, which virtually "NO ONE" seems willing to do, " Enough bad news already ?? vs learning anything negative about my "convenient" cell phone security blanket ?" Thanks Scott PS Although THEY will not tell you this , apparently your own cell phone emits its most dangerous EMF radiation levels when you have lowest bars as it is not receiving enough EMF's from elsewhere to connect.....please use speaker phone especially then ! Be well !

The FCC should admit that it has caused severe health consequences to millions of Americans. Some of these consequences are due to the Smart Grid, which pulses astronomical levels of radiation into people's homes. Please see documents submitted under comments number 202609253096515102 and 20260924206082875. The FCC should fully consider 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. The FCC is not a health agency and does not have expertise in medicine, biology or public health. Yet, the agency continues to assert authority over RF exposure standards and is preparing to reach conclusions about whether its existing guidelines adequately protect the public. The FCC has no mandate to protect the public health and should not be doing this. I urge the FCC to recognize the critical role of federal health agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and to rely on appropriate health and biological expertise when addressing the issues identified by the court. The FCC should hand off the duty to protect the public health to agencies that are mandated to do so.

Man made EMFs have been forced upon us without adequate safety studies. Now that the studies are out, we can know how harmful tech EMFs are and something needs to be done about it. Our children are being harmed by this radiation and we need SAFE technology. Please put this at the forefront. We can't let our children be harmed by this cancer causing infetility causing and on and on. Netherlands, Findland and Sweden are doing something about it. Why is the U.S. always the last to protect the children?

I bought my first cell phone in 1993 and from that day to this, I cannot use the phone for anything except text messaging. The reason for this is because text messages take only a second to transmit while calls require transmission signaling continuously. If anyone called me, in less than a minute, my head would be feeling like it was about to explode. Clearly, that was my body telling me that it did not want to be anywhere near signaling for phone calls that, while invisible, certainly impacted my body! I support doing more research on the health and safety impacts of cell phone radiation and I understand that such testing is currently done with plastic dummies, rather than on humans. In addition, the radiation levels allowed in the United States seem to be in excess of those in other countries. Finally, technology has evolved so much since cell phones were initially released and standards most definitely need to be updated to acknowledge that we have gone from 2G to 3G to 4G to 5G and I hear 6G will be released soon as well. Given that I have had such issues for so long, it seems wise to operate from the precautionary principle and err on the side of safety, especially since technology has changed so much over these years as well. Thank you for your consideration and for representing the health & safety of Americans! Sincerely,

The introduction of global Wireless technology has not been adequately studied for its potential non-ionizing effects; although these were being studied some time ago and ceased for the most part when the science was taken hold of by various interested parties such as corporations, government, intelligence, and military. The long history of wireless use testing is also withheld from the public because it was entirely in the hands of the interested parties for decades who were the ones studying it, and using it for testing of many dual purposes. Initial studies in Russia and other countries indicated all over body effects observed in both animal and human studies. We are now seeing on a mass scale, widespread effects when combined with other environmental factors such as heavy metals, pesticides, and harmful plastics in the air, food, soil, and water and now including nanotechnology that is being found in many products that we use and consume that are not in any way being ceased, regulated, or really even studied properly in ways that would benefit the consumer or the public at large, most of what is being published publicly is to promote its use in key industries. What are the regulatory bodies created to do if they are not supposed to regulate and hold to account predatory entities with products that may cause significant which are actively using the above in order that things like wireless technologies can be more effectively used for a host of many dual uses for their potential profit at the expense of the public at large? The Internet of Things is the Internet of Everything and has not been regulated for safety, it is being advanced without human consent in many ways though much of this has been presented in such a way as to manufacture collective consent, the only reason this could be possible would have to be because of the above interested parties largely having full control due to unbridled lobby access and using this for so called national security interests, global international agreements along the same lines, and corporate malfeasance. The public was lured into widespread use of a technology that was owned exclusively by the corporate military services which is also largely working in tandem with the government and its contractors, its organizations that spread into these academic and public health arenas taking hold and using the policies those entities use in which to keep the full extant of things hidden from the public such as national security, proprietary, GRAS, or some other type of non disclosure protection procedure being used in order to withhold important and life saving information from the public.

I am extremely concerned that the extreme ubiquity of wireless devices everywhere and of wireless phone towers everywhere has not been properly studied. I strongly urge the federal government to immediately take steps to retroactively study the exact timing, frequency bands and strength, and locations of different types of EMFs from all cell phone towers which encourage wireless devices everywhere as well as a retroactive study of the same data from all other towers emitting EMFs, including radio and TV towers, police communication towers and antennas, fire department towers and antennas, private corporations and private towers and antennas, CB towers and antennas, airport towers and antennas, private airplane towers and antennas, and all other forms of towers and antennas in order to be able to identify cummulative EMF exposure in specific areas. Create a overlapping radius of local and nearby overlapping radius of adverse health impacts of EMFs, using all sources of local medical diagnoses including the data from Medicaid and Medicare wiped clean of personal identifiable information (all contact info, exact age, name, relatives, emergency contacts, photos, and all data that may be used to identify a specific person), where addresses can be categorized into areas influenced most by specific tower(s), and ages categorized by 5 year groupings. Then, collect by zip codes surrounding the nearby hospitals; urgent type care facilities; endocrinologists and other handling diabetics and those with blood sugar control issues; eye doctors who test IOP and or do retinal and macular imaging for potential blindness warnings; to be cross referenced with suspected and related adverse health occurrences from various types of EMFs. This would include out-of-control diabetic Blood Sugar; Intraocular pressure (IOP) causing glaucoma; sleeplessness, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep for 7-9 hours; Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD); ADHD and related anxiety and attention focus disorders; cancer--all forms, broken down by type; sepsis and other infections; cardiac disturbances of rate, rhythm, blood pressure, EKG findings; epilepsy; tinnitis; and other issues being associated with EMFs, including increased death rates. The SARS ratings on mobile devices need stricter regulation to make them more accurate and more useful for purchasers to know the actual strength of the EMFs in terms of exposure time and SARS rating likely to produce various symptoms for various chronic illnesses. The current SARS ratings are unreliable for most predictive uses, and this needs to change. FCC should compile available information and make it available to the public in a useful way. FCC should outlaw mobile devices with SARS ratings known to cause problems that lead to pre-mature death. Perhaps a second measurement should be added to the SARS rating. From 2002 to 2018 a nature sanctuary in Iowa County, Wisconsin was isolated from cell towers being much lower than much of the surrounding area, and while the insects and the bees were dwindling in that surrounding area where cell phones received sufficient signals to be used. The area inside this nature sanctuary never received sufficient cell signals for any use whatsoever until 2019 when some phones began to ring or were able to sometimes be used within that sanctuary, and at the same time, remarkably the number of insects began to decrease by about 50% in a fairly rapid decline, and some bee hives on the property that had always thrived began to suffer some disassociation for the first time. Based on my observations, the rapid decrease was associated almost identically with the timing of the penetration of mobile cell phone signals into the area for the first time in the history of that nature sanctuary based upon the fact that the cell phones began to ring there for the first time in history and the fact that people were able to find places their cell phones worked deep in the central area where people did group activities together for the first time in history in 2019. Based on my repeated confirmation of this first time during 2019 on at least a monthly basis and at times more often, I concluded that I was observing that EMFs from the mobile phone cellar towers were the primary reason that bees were leaving the hives and unable to find their way back to the hives to which they belonged in this situation. There were no neonicinoid exposure in this area. In fact, this entire large sanctuary had never had any pesticide applications whatsoever for decades going back at least 50 years. In this way, pesticides can be ruled out as the new cause of the sudden decline of bees and insects in this special area that had been geographically protected from nearby farms which were on much much higher ground than the overwhelming bulk of this sanctuary through which a small creek meandered. Other surrounding area with different ownership was also mostly composed of the same woods and forest that surrounded this entire sanctuary property, and those woods and forest started at about the same altitude as the bulk of this carved out nature sanctuary, resulting in almost no cell phone coverage until 2019 on the back roads leading to this sanctuary and these farms, some of which raised cows, often seen in the woods. This nature sanctuary also had a tall grass prairie in it, where the cell phones also did not work until 2019. It had hills that rose up higher than that tall grass prairie but lower than surrounding adjacent lands owned by other folks, some of which contained a natural burial section, but again the cell phones did not work on this property until beginning in 2019 which was remarkably the exact time that several people began remarking about the rapid decrease in flying insects and some loss of bees in bee hives for the first time. The information in Arthur Firstenberg's books must be considered by FCC and incorporated into policies to restrict EMF harm to people that has long been recognized in his books by millions of people: The Invisible Rainbow: A history of Electricity and Life; The Earth and I; Microwavng our Planet: The Environmental Impact of the Wireless Revolution (Cellular Phone Task Force, 1997). He documented the basic fact that everytime a new EMF environmental source technology was introduced, starting at least with the telegraph, that a new bumb followed in the death statistics where that new EMF technology was being used to the extent it radiated outward from the source. Since non-ionizing radiation does this, that amazing fact has huge implications that these EMFs represent a source of physics dynamics that has not been sufficiently explored by science to identify the full characteristics of this energy source that departs from the more traditionally acknowledged energy sources and fuels. My personal experiential observations after the fact of installation of electric smart meters on the houses in my neighborhood on the opposite side of my block, when I remained uninformed and unawares of that installation in the mid-to-late 2010s, resulted in the sudden development of high IOP eye pressures that are known to call fast and sudden permanant loss of vision in people of Asian and Native American descent who have narrow angle glaucoma that does result in fast and sudden permanent loss of vision forever, which is a serious human health disability that must be avoided at all costs instead of let loose without regulation to harm human beings exposed to the EMFs that cause these IOP eye pressures to skyrocket upwards with this devastating effect. This requires quick action where the lens of the eye requires laser surgery to make a hole for the buildup of liquid pressure in the eye to escape before the person with narrow angle glaucome becomes permanently blind in this way. Other Americans of European descent tend to have increased IOP eye pressures from EMF exposures also, but the eye pressures doesn't skyrocket upwards super fast in open angle glaucoma where the IOP eye pressure raises much slower, allowing more scheduling in the timing to do that same laser surgery. After EMF smart meters were placed on homes in California, medical records were used to prove that number of people developing high IOP eye pressures suddenly raised, often happening to more than one person in a household immediately after the electric smart meters were introduced. Very similar situations developed with California electric smart meters pertaining to sudden near-death explosions in dangerous levels of very high blood sugar that developed in many households, often being diagnosed in more than one household member in the same time period or at the exact same time shortly following the installation of electric smart meters. It is very serious that people with closed angle glaucoma could go blind permanently from EMFs, and the bands of those EMFs must be identified and power levels determined that are associated with this permanent blindness, and those causes must be removed without delay from the US EMF tower system and cell phone usage system. It is very serious that people can develop rapid onset dangerously high level of diabetic level blood sugar that goes out of controllability at the 800 level range and the 900 range and however high that blood sugar is able to go when the person's life in that danger zone. The power levels and bands associated with this potential death threat and any permanent harm from out-of-control rising blood sugar must be banned from EMF usage across the USA in order to protect the lives of all Americans--none of which can be Constitutionally viewed as disposable by any government entity in the USA, especially FCC which has acquired a rather odd and reckless reputation for ignoring these problems which have been recognized in California courts as sufficiently documented rationally for the California Court System to order the mandatory removal of these EMF smart meters for electric usage at some point in the past. The fact that a pattern of such cases with out-of-control blood sugar developed in many houses shortly after the California electric smart meters were installed and that some houses had multiple victims of this sudden onslaught of out-of-control blood sugar shows that there is is a sufficient causal relationship that must be explored to protect people's from Type 2 diabetes or whatever. The FCC has failed to give proper consideration to the adverse health effects of EMF technologies to date, and this disregard of potential death from insufficient FCC regulation of this dangerous technology must change immediately going forward.

Wireless radiation standards in the U.S. are outdated and severely deficient. Thousands of independent studies have shown that there are numerous ill effects from RF/EMF, such as oxidative stress, cancer, and neurological disorders. I've been very sensitive to RF/EMF for many years, and unfortunately, levels continue to get worse. I have neurological symptoms from exposures. I've had to make accommodations to my living environment (e.g. special shielding) to try and limit my exposures. I'm currently looking for a new place to live because my exposures from neighbors have gotten so bad (e.g. wireless routers on 24 hours a day, Tesla cars charging all night long, which cause magnetic field levels in my house to double or triple, etc.) Thank you for reaching out for feedback.

I am writing regarding the FCC’s response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ remand concerning its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. The Court directed the FCC to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination that its guidelines adequately protect humans against harmful effects of RF radiation unrelated to cancer. Specifically, the court required the FCC to address the impacts of RF radiation on children, the health implications of long-term exposure, the ubiquity of wireless devices and technological developments, impacts on the environment, and the adequacy of the FCC’s testing procedures for cell phones and other portable devices. The FCC should fully consider 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. The FCC is not a health agency and does not have expertise in medicine, biology or public health. Yet, the agency continues to assert authority over RF exposure standards and is preparing to reach conclusions about whether its existing guidelines adequately protect the public. I urge the FCC to recognize the critical role of federal health agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and to rely on appropriate health and biological expertise when addressing the issues identified by the court. I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court.

Don't get rid of our landlines! The affects of wireless technology and the towers has very dangerous long-term impacts on our youth, animals, wildlife and our environment. Many of us still use these landlines as wireless technology is spotty and unreliable in my area. We also need these landlines in power outages and emergency situations.

I am writing regarding the FCC’s response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ remand concerning its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. This issue matters to me because my life, my career and my health has been irreparably harmed by the ubiquitous and insidiously ever increasing RF exposure. I am unable to live a normal life or perform in my career. My family has ostracized and then accepted my situation, although visits are fewer and short due to their dependence on their devices for their being and livelihoods. It breaks my heart to watch them utilize their wireless devices and to realize they have no choice in today’s world and recognizing the difficulty I have experienced by not using them and doing my best to avoid the RF radiation. I have had to become a recluse and cannot even go to a city park as they all have towers, placed there to avoid public scrutiny. Fear of being ostracized goes to a whole new level because the device addiction predicates that people are afraid to know or literally do not want to know deleterious effects of RF radiation. While I was still practicing medicine, I came to recognize that people would rather swallow poisonous chemicals with multiple side effects (otherwise known as pharmaceuticals) or have the AV nodes in their heart atria burned (“ablation therapy”) and undergo chemotherapy rather than recognize the cause of their anxiety, lack of cognition, insomnia, headaches, joint pain, insulin resistance, type II diabetes, high blood pressure, tachycardia, a-fib, cancer, etc., etc. I have researched the subject and written a book, still yet to be published because I was warned it would never be picked up by major publishers as they will not bite the hand that feeds them. Media rarely touches the topic for the same reason. Yet thousands upon thousands of people continue to proliferate their ownership and use of wireless devices while increasing their “pills for the ills”, undergoing procedures and opting in for surgeries, because, you know, “my insurance pays for it”. It is estimated that thirty percent of the population is experiencing symptoms from RF radiation exposure. If an evaluation of the pharmaceuticals used to address symptoms were included in that analysis, then 98% of the population would be shown to have one or more symptoms from the man-made frequencies that the FCC has allowed to proliferate in our environment at an unprecedented rate with no regard for safety. The FCC’s failure to adequately protect humans was seemingly purposeful since it has allowed legislation to pass in 1996 that prohibits communities and people from objecting to towers and antennae placement based on health or environmental influence. The FCC is a captured agency via lobbying and the the revolving door of the wireless industries’ and FCCs board positions and in my not-so-humble opinion, the agency should be dismantled. My ‘opinion’ is also supported by complete disregard of the Court ruling that directed the FCC to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination that its guidelines adequately protect humans against harmful effects of RF radiation unrelated to cancer. That’s right - on August 13, 2021, the D.C. Circuit ruled the FCC failed to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination. Specifically, five years ago, the court required the FCC to address the impacts of RF radiation on children, the health implications of long-term exposure, the ubiquity of wireless devices and technological developments, impacts on the environment, and the adequacy of the FCC’s testing procedures for cell phones and other portable devices. In July 2026, the FCC adopted a fourfold increase in power limits for wireless devices, with no public health analysis of what that would do to exposure. It has moved to end environmental safety reviews for cell tower projects. This is unfathomable! The FCC has an immediate obligation to fully consider 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. Since the FCC is not a health agency and does not have expertise in medicine, biology or public health, it must work with the HHS and other health agencies to evaluate the plethora of studies that DO show harm. WE DON’T NEED MORE STUDIES. Other countries have been gracious enough to provide valid studies that prove harm. Yet, the FCC continues to assert authority over RF exposure standards and is preparing to reach conclusions about whether its existing guidelines adequately protect the public. I urge the FCC to recognize the critical role of federal health agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and to rely on appropriate health and biological expertise when addressing the issues identified by the court. I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court.
