ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My being exposed to wifi, cell phones, smart meters, etc has caused me much discomfort and pain due to the microwaves created and received by these devices. Man creates his artificial environment, and then that created environment recreates man. The nature of electromagnetic fields problem (unlike cigarette smoke which is harmful) is that you can't see it or feel it. But the damage is being done non-stop. The engineers who created this technology hid behind the fallacy that if these emf could not raise the temperature of a person's skin, it was totally harmless. Nothing could be further from the truth. Some call this emf man made pollution: dirty electricity found on the electrical wires in a house. Using an ociloscope will show radio and microwave activity associated with power switch mode transformers that convert 110 volt alternating current fields (aka ELF extremely low fields) into pulsing direct current fields. These energy saving devices were forced on manufacturers to save energy, but create micro sparks or arcs that resonate with the integrity of human cells. In fact the arcing makes the cell membranes leaky. With leaky cell walls you now compromise the integrity of the body junctions that serve as barriers to prevent unwanted toxins to enter. These junctions include the skin barrier, the gut barrier and the brain barrier. Hence cell phones, wifi, smart meters and smart devices cause human beings much damage to their body's primary defense barriers. So now due to cell phones, wifi, smart meters, etc people now have compromised immune function due to leaky skin, leaky gut barrier and leaky brain barrier. The FCC and FDA are asleep at the switch and not protecting people from the damage done when people are exposed to radio and microwaves produced by smart devices including cell phones, wifi, personal computers, etc. Government has a duty to regulate commerce that causes harm to the planet, the people, the livestock, the bugs, the fish, the most fragile living forms on this planet.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I always feel an acute sensitivity to the 5G towers, and am always praying one is not planted close to my business, because I would have to sell. Recently I booked an AirBNB while travelling, and unknowingly ended up in a place one block from a 5G tower. I couldn't sleep the entire three days, had a non-stop headache and some nausea, and couldn't wait to leave. I have a friend who got deathly sick from being too close to a tower. I've always felt appalled that we as citizens have absolutely no say about where these are placed, especially when there is so much evidence as to their negative effect on human health. I personally don't need the internet to be that much faster at that price, and now 6G is coming? Heaven help us....

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I began to suffer from extreme insomnia, chronic health issues, etc. after the installation of our WiFi router and the purchase of cell phones back in 2004. These issues went on for more than a decade until I was diagnosed with myelin issues and emf sensitivity. I moved to the country, disabled all WiFi, had the smart meter removed and installed ethernet cable for our internet. I am now able to sleep and my health issues continue to heal. Whenever I encounter a friend or family member with insomnia, I instruct them to unplug their router at night and leave their cell phone in a room far from their bedroom. This always improves their symptoms. This is real. The technology is toxic. The children are being harmed the most.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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. This issue matters to me personally because: I feel the effects of the humongous two-tier cell tower that is within hundreds of feet from my home. Not only has it lowered home values in my area, but more importantly I feel what it emits in every cell of my body. I feel in my body, the constant bombardment of waves coming from these towers, cellphones, WiFi, repeaters, and satellites pumping out toxic waveforms. How much more evidence do you need that this bombardment is responsible for 20th-21st century epidemics of chronic insomnia, anxiety, depression, agitation, and gut-brain health issues. And probably cancer. There used to be tons of wildlife where I live, but even birds and bees have seemingly lost their way from this onslaught. Let's face it, we know that lobbyists and conflicts of interest have full control of government agencies, and have for a very long time. It is time for people like me and my family to matter--integrity, ethical concerns... instead of greed and a desire to hurt-torture-kill human beings in the name of 'saving the planet.' Money is a narrative created by those who created it and propagandized it into 'reality.' A Monopoly game is as real as the system we are all subject to. PLEASE, wake up and do what people hired you to do before we didn't matter anymore. That said, 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 and things identified by constituents.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am sensitive to wireless radiation. Over the last few years my sensitivity is getting worse. I get headaches are increasing in severity. I have insomnia - much worse with wireless on, lessoned when I can turn wireless off - at least in my apartment, however I am unable to block wireless from the neighboring houses. Everything seems worse now - allergies seem to be increasing in severity, and when I am sick with the flu, those symptoms are also worse. I attibute the worsening of symptoms to be the direct result of the increase in wireless radiation - as I can see increases in the amount of wireless networks available in my neighborhood and my local area. Wireless radiation harms people. I am older - and I see the effects. What is is doing to our children?

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Since the City of Austin installed two smart meters on our house, which back up directly to the bed wall of our bedroom, I have not been able to sleep normally, as I have all my life. I bought an EMF meter to determine the level of RF/ microwave radiation, and in our bedroom it was far higher than the level considered safe, with peaks that are orders of magnitude higher still, occurring 24-7-365. I installed faraday fabric on the wall behind our bed, and the RF/ microwave level dropped considerably, although it was still high nearest the wall. My wife and I believe this entire wireless 'revolution' is damaging to human health and well-being. We urge strong regulation of this industry to rein in industry abuse. Users have not been given the information needed to make decisions about wireless products.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been negatively impacted by artifical EMF's for the last decade. I can feel the impact on my body as it causes migraines, tinnutis, sensitivity to sounds, smells and vision. I also become extremely dizzy and cannot form clear thoughts. I am unable to sleep or function when surrounding by them. During COVID the power company installed a smart meter on my house without any notice. Therefore I couldn't opt out before it was installed. The 30 days it was on my home was the sickest I had ever been. I couldn't get out of bed and I couldn't form coheisive sentences or thoughts. I had a debilitating migraine for those 30 days. I had to send an official letter from an attorney to have it removed and a digital meter put on instead. There was no way for me to receive my analog, non-transmitting meter back. There is sufficient evidence of the dangers of artifical EMF however profit seems to be put over health of humans time and time again. I vehemently oppose any smart technology and the increased use of EMF we are exposed to that we cannot opt out of.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The FCC has been directed to explain its guidelines to protect humans from harm including crucial forms of life that support humans including food sources. , this concerning lackadaisical rules and guidelines concerning RF, EMF, cell tower placement, wifi pollution and the inability for the population to have input over the abuse of Tech to over ride any possible restrictions/studies. . The FCC should not have sole... they are not in the medical field. Only health experts who work with sick people. Since 1996 I have chronic pain, palpitations, double vision, insomnia unexplained but notably around computer/phone/near 3-5G

I live 500 meters from a high level 5/6 G tower. I have been experiencing severe headaches and restless sleep(I must wear special hats to mitigate some of it's effect to help with the pain) Also we used to have bees and they always died after a year These towers that are in residential areas and school zones must be taken down now.

RF radiation exposure that i have been exposed to has caused Brain fog, hearing problems/buzzing and fatigue. This has reduced my ability to work. Pleaase update your regulations to reflect the negative effects of RF radiation. Thank you Beth Chiodo
