Towers, antennas & siting

As a massage therapist, I have seen firsthand a number of clients having distinct health issues as towers move closer, smart meters are installed regardless of refusal, and devices become so ubiquitous and unavoidable within every day life. This ,,technology" has literally never been tested on human beings, and I'm witnessing just how unequipped are nervous systems are to handle the horrible repercussions. I, also, recently heard that the FAA and aviation has also never been adequately tested, in terms of interference and safely landing planes. This industry poses no shortage of health risks and needs to be adequately evaluated....yet another institution where we are placing profit over human health. Please do the right thing by humanity.

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: After installation of a 5g tower within 1/4 mile of my home, we have experienced strange muscle pains along with GI issues. 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.

This issue matters to me personally because I am electromagnetic sensitive and have a negative reaction to wireless radiation and strong magnetic fields. Because wireless and 5G technology is everywhere, it is hard for my body to recover enough to heal. I am concerned about my children who are exposed to wireless in their school s. 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.

The FCC needs to reconsider the parameters regarding any ‘HARM’ that they are looking at. Previously they have only tested for the transference of ‘HEAT’ – that shows a disturbing lack of understanding of EMFs. I hope it is understood that devices such as microwave ovens, cell towers and cell phones emit certain frequences that cannot be seen, felt or smelled by a regular human being. This does not mean that they don’t exist and/or don’t cause harm! Take the example of X-rays. When I was growing up, when you went to a shoe store, you would expected to find an X-ray machine in every store so that customers could check to see if the shoe was a good fit for the foot. As kids we would take great delight in checking as many shoes as we could. It would take many years before it was discovered that X-rays were actually harmful to the human body! I suspect that the FCC is not taking the similarity between the seemingly harmless EMF frequencies and the dangerous effects of X-rays seriously enough. I was made aware of the effect of EMF’s when I was at a conference a few years ago in a hotel that was right next to a cell tower. One woman complained of feeling unsteady and slightly sick. She couldn’t come up with any reason why she might feel that way. When she moved closer to the center of the hotel the miserable, unsettling feelings would reduce a little. When she went outside she felt like collapsing, almost like her energy was being drained away from her. Since then I have heard of people who have had similar experiences and it has since been revealed that certain people are more sensitive to these EMF frequences than others. Like in the woman at the conference, no one else noticed anything untoward. Also, the FCC years ago was testing for the effects of the EMFs on plants. They promised to go back and do more of those tests, but they never did. I suspect that much could be learned by doing more investigations in that arena.

1) Walking through the millimeter-wave Airport Scanner caused my vision to change. It took 8 hours for my vision to stop being blurry, and start reading again. Later that day -in 2012- I have learned that in UK already had substantial data about damage to cornea of the eye, testicles, and breast tissue. An organization of passengers pushed for removing these scanners from airports. 2) 5-G router siting 5 feet from my desk cause my neck getting hot, and thyroid tissue feeling stressed, after 2 days of sitting at that location. After I moved 20 feet away- no longer a problem. But certainly concerning. Thank you.

This issue matters to me personally because: I am a practicing Internal Medicine physician with additional expertise in Integrative Medicine, which uses biologic strategies to reverse chronic illnesses. I also suffer from chronic illness myself, and as such have found myself extraordinarily sensitive to the presence of the microwave carrier frequencies used ubiquitously by the telecom industry (cell towers and cell phones), home and office connective infrastructure (WiFi routers, computers using WiFi, office equipment continuously emitting wireless radiation, even the newer automobiles that continuously emit wireless radiation. I have extensively measured my local environment with a portable, handheld wireless emissions meter and made a note where they are particularly high. I have discovered that whenever I am exposed to these areas, even for an hour or two, I experience physical effects. This happens in a relatively stereotyped sequence, starting after about 3 hours with activation of my sympathetic autonomic system (ie, "fight or flight" system, due to immediate damage), then progressing to difficulty sleeping that night, sometimes accompanied by a "restless legs" feeling (which I otherwise never have) and then fairly profound fatigue for the next 2 to 3 days, until my system recovers, utilizing passage of time in the relatively "safer" environment of my home, along with several biological strategies required for recovery. Fortunately, I have been able to eliminate wireless devices in my home by using a router which connects via data cable to my computer, along with using hardwire connections to printer, etc. Measurements of radiation have confirmed fairly low levels, though I still have ambient radiation from neighbors, local cell towers, etc. I also keep my cell phone on airplane mode except to text, essentially never using my cell phone for calls. I have also noted extreme stiffness of my knee joints when in high exposure areas. I also believe that, even in the relatively lower exposure area of my home, my sleep is unnaturally difficult, and that my bowel function is unnaturally sluggish. Certainly as a result of my own experiences, let alone millions of my fellow countrymen and women and children who don't have the benefit of a medical education and experience practicing Integrative medicine to understand this exposure from a technical perspective, 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.

I came down with EMRS in 2012. Since then, I have been electrosensitive making it difficult to go anywhere since the levels of RF radiation almost everywhere are too high for sensitive individuals, and unhealthy for all since the FCC limits are outdated and unsafe. My health has suffered including nerve and thyroid damage. Thankfully, I have the resources to have bought a home is an area that is currently safe, with no cell towers in my vicinity. My greatest fear is that this safety could easily be threatened by the telecom industry putting a cell tower or small cell up near my home. I would have little or no recourse to do anything about it with the current FCC rules.

There is a cell tower a mile from me and in 2022 At&t put in new WIFI. Since then I got a melanoma on my face. . I am usually very energetic, lost it and suffer bad fatigue, acquired lots of popping in tendons, intense sneezing and congestion. Pain all over my body that I struggle to get to work. My little cat was diagnosed with diabetes in Jan 2023. He has none of the normal markers to have gotten it. His appetite slowed to a snails pace where before he was a food hound. I noticed 2 elm trees right outside started just drying up. Had to fertilize this year to bring them back. I have been in this house 23 yrs. and the last 4 have been hell, I just don't feel like myself . I even put WIFI protection stickers on my computer and tablets. This on top of all the sky spraying chemtrails, Life is becoming unbearable anymore.

I am sensitive to Radio Frequencies, My head hurts, my arm gets a deep irritation, and my ears ring loud when I am in an area that has cell phones, routers, blue tooth or cell towers. I have to prevent such things from operating in my home which is getting harder to do with so many products equipped with RF antennas. I am greatly limited because most product come with high frequency Radio Frequency signals that pulsate even when products are turned off. I would ask that the FCC adhere to the courts ruling to do extensive reporting on the following as ordered by the court: The harmful impacts of RF radiation on children. The health implications of long-term exposure to RF radiation which has been shown in the NTP study on Radio Frequency in 2016 showing strong correlation to the harmful effects from low RF exposure. The invasive and unavoidable exposure of RF from wireless devices and technological developments since the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines were last updated in 1996 which avoided the science on non-particle radiation. The impacts of RF radiation on the environment. To correct the inadequacy of the FCC’s RF radiation testing procedures for cell phones and other portable wireless devices. And to require all devices equipped with an antenna to emit a RF or to receive a wireless signal also be equipped with a physical switch to turn the antenna off so antennas are prevented from emitting or receiving or searching for a RF signal so that the owner or operator may have the personal choice as to when and how often they may be exposed to the Radio Frequency. These switches would make buying a new car possible, as well as staying in a hotel where smart products occupy each room and allow for having more modern products in the home or class rooms that do not exposure families and children to this harmful radiation. Thank you

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. I am very concerned about the effects of EMF's on all of us. The studies that have been done to date, show drastic health impacts and impairments on both humans and animals; and I would hope that no more animals are tortured by human experimentation in the name sake of science. 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.

This issue matters to me personally, because of all of the EMF's I have so much difficulty sleeping, and it seems to be affecting many people. This has been affecting my health in a negative way. I've noticed this more and more over the last 10 years. My younger brother, who actually worked on the cell towers for many years, now has ALS and only has, maybe 6 months to live. He just turned 58. These frequencies are harmful to all, and we need to address this problem now. There has to be a better way to advance our technology without harming the people, the animals and the planet. 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.
