The effects of wireless frequencies are NOT fully known. I have a friend who lived near a tower and other sources of frequencies who complained of many symptoms---headaches, nervous conditions, hearing low vibrations and more. She ended up committing suicide.

I see hundreds of clients in my clinic with all manner of diseases. Brain Fog, Cancer, fatigue, Afib etc When these same clients go out of town, away from Cell towers, they get better. 5G towers put near homes are causing the most havoc. My wife gets ill every time we go to the downtown area of our city, where there are a huge number of towers. She can't go to our downtown area because of the cell towers. Studies have been shown towers must be at least 2000 or more away to mitigate damage.

For too long, telecommunications companies have gotten away with gambling with human and animal health via radiation exposure. We need real controlled studies about the potential harms and long-term effects of radiation and chronic exposure to non-ionizing radiation, including children’s vulnerability, long-term exposure, environmental and wildlife impacts, and potential health effects involving reproduction, the immune system, and DNA damage. Here's a link to a relevant news article on this topic, which unpacks the harms potential of radiation pollution: https://www.newsweek.com/migratory-birds-bee-navigation-5g-technology-electromagnetic-radiation-934830 Pollution affects us all, and no person has consented to being chronically poisoned by radiation exposure because informed consent of harms has never occurred. Updated guidelines that take into consideration changes in technology since 1996--and which place a moratorium on new technologies until their potential harms can be properly understood from an informed-consent perspective--are imperative for human and animal health and general welfare.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am responding from the perspective of a concerned member of the public, a Dual USA and Canadian citizen, and as one who is negatively affected by man-made electromagnetic radiation. I personally suffer from tinnitus and severe vertigo. When I was living in a city with smart meters, cell towers, neighbors wi-fi, etc. my symptoms were becoming more severe as time went by. About 2 years, ago we moved to an acreage where the emf levels are low the great majority of the time and since we have moved here I have not had any more vertigo attacks. In my opinion, man-made electromagnetic radiation is the latest, greatest environmental pollutant and it has become ubiquitous in our present world. Many people as well as all life in the environment is negatively affected, as we have evolved to function in the natural electromagnetic environment. I support the FCC 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 the FCC 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.

My son is complaining of the 5Guw that is causing him to have sleepiness nights and headaches on campus in Panama City. I personally can not handle 5G as it makes me sick and gives me headaches with dizziness.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have a good friend who must live with shielding from emf fabric due to being so sick that she cannot function. Exposure to emfs must be thoroughly investigated through research done not by technology funded research but by scientists with no conflict of interest. Our children and our lives must be protected from this reckless exposure. With cell towers (large or small cells) near homes and in neighborhoods and schools, our children are in danger. Exposure to emf's also is proven to affect our children's concentration, wildlife, and even bees ability to return to their hives. Do you want a cell tower near your child's window where they sleep and in neighborhoods where children walk and play? Please be wise halt this madness and provide research that is done with integrity and that is not funded by the tech companies who profit from additional cell towers being installed. Thank you,

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I strongly oppose cell towers within 100 miles of any population. I also oppose smart meters. We live in a townhouse that has 6 smart meters within 6 feet of our bedroom. Since the meters have been installed, we have suffered significant health issues that have disappeared when we stay overnight somewhere else. Several studies done in several countries have all concluded using cell phones increases the risk of cancer. Several people have reported ill effects from living close to a cell tower. Cell towers disrupt other living organisms, particularly bees, by decreasing their populations and disrupting their form of communication and flying patterns. I do not consent to cell towers being anywhere near where people inhabit.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
When wireless started, I began not to feel well. Year after year more wireless "things" make it into the environment. Every year I feel worse than the year before. I have been forced to spend thousands of dollars to try to protect my health. More towers that we know now are toxic and now this Arc GIS Surveillance System has been fired up in my city and I am having major issues with my thyroid, my feet, ankles and legs are swelling and have blisters. My legs are in a great deal of pain. This all started after September 6, 2026. After the Arc GIS was installed and fired up. My hair is falling out, and I have a metal plate behind my thyroid I feel like my thyroid is being cooked and my esophagus is burning. I cannot eat solid foods because it hurts too much. I wake in the morning and go to the kitchen where I immediately feel the LED streetlights that are more powerful than ever. I have fainted in my house, had heart attacks and strokes because of streetlights that are apparently operating above 8G. I can read the signals from the streetlights I read in town, but I can't read the LED streetlights on my street. I talked to Scott McCollough about this and was told some of the streetlights are now operating at 9 or 10G. This is a death sentence for me because I have EMR-s, a well under the house and a metal plate in my neck. I have no life. I cannot go where I like and I cannot do the things I would like to be able to do once again. I would like to be able to work so I can pay my bills, but I can't because of all of the toxicities in every building and street and highway. I do not feel safe in my house. I feel like and experiment and a target. I am in a great deal of physical pain and suffering greatly. I would like all of this turned off before I expire. I should not feel the way I do, and I am so angry this is potentially ending my life. I am not enjoying this one bit. My husband has metabolic syndrome from all of this, and now he is having symptoms of EMR-s. I pray he doesn't go down because then we are really screwed. If my husband gets so sick he can't work, then what? I asked AI if all of the wireless was operating above the legal safe limit set by the FCC. It told me all of the cell towers since 2017 have been operating above this legal safe threshold. I asked what % above the legal safe limit set by the FCC the Arc GIS is operating. It said 900% above the legal safe limit. There is no oversight and no testing with mass spectrometers. There is no accountability. If this continues there will be no life. The birds are disappearing from my area, the bugs are almost gone, the bees have left the area or died, the weather modification and the constant barrage of toxins sprayed on us every day make it impossible to grow food. I want my life back. I do not want to continue to see my grandchildren and great grandchildren being harmed. I fear they will not make it to adulthood at this rate. I have had 2 of my grandchildren crying on my front porch because the wireless hurts them but they can't tell their parents because they don't want their parents talking about them the way they talk about me. That made me cry. Children are dying in my city at an alarming rate. I want it to stop and the only way it will ever stop is to take the towers down and stop using this dangerous weapon we call wireless. Before 5G I almost died from the amount of wireless I was being exposed to. When all of the wireless was turned off the rash on the top 1/3 of my body went away in three weeks. This included taking the smart meter off the house. I had Mast Cell Activation Syndrome from the smart meter and when the sending unit was removed, I could eat food again, use shampoo, wash my clothes with laundry soap. I was getting my life back and then 5G went up and is still going up. It hurts like hell. Since the Arc GIS system was turned on apparently thousands of people have been complaining about the same kinds of health issues I'm having. that's a lot of injuries. Please stop this now while we still have a chance to reverse some of the damage to humans and the environment. Thank you

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have self-diagnosed EHS (Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome). I choose to live in a rural area away from wifi hotspots, cell phone towers, and 5G antennas. And the home I live in has an analogue meter instead of an AMI (Smart meter). After 20 minutes of exposure to AMI technology (within 30-40 feet), or RF/EMF, I start to experience mood disorders, neurological problems, and pain. This includes anger, anxiety, and what feels like needles poking into my brain. After about 30-60min of exposure, my symptoms increase to include panic attacks, neck and shoulder pain, dizziness, and suicidal thoughts. Because of the prevalence of RF/EMF, I cannot be inside a mall or large grocery store for more than 30 minutes before the pain/dizziness begins. I cannot be inside smaller businesses, such as restaurants, libraries, and doctor offices, for more than an hour. I cannot hang out at the homes of friends and family unless I stay 30-40 feet away from their smart meters and RF/EMF emitting devices. I cannot use a smart phone, nor can I be around other peoples’ smart phones while in use. And when I use my flip phone to make/receive calls, I have to hold it 2 feet away from my head. And I cannot live within one mile of a cell phone tower. In the past, I’ve bought several different RF/EMF blocking materials and devices to shield myself from this radiation, but they didn’t work. I recognize that I am abnormally sensitive. I attribute that sensitivity to the 2 medical conditions I’ve been diagnosed with: The first is dysautonomia (an impaired autonomic nervous system), and second, I have myalgic encephalomyelitis, aka ME, (a chronic low-grade inflammation in my brain). Sensitive individuals like myself should probably be taken seriously. We are the canaries in the coal mine: an early indicator of potential danger. But...I’ve noticed that the vast majority of the information of EHS, on the internet, is derogatory. Some websites have suggested that suffers, like me, are mentally ill, or that we are “making it up.” This is a painful reality, but I try to remind myself that this is how it goes with new illnesses until enough public awareness is achieved. Jack Dorsy (Twitter founder) is also a sufferer – maybe he will help raise awareness someday.
