Wi-Fi, meters & wireless devices

Very large very tall cell phone tower put in near my place of business causes headache and heart palpitations when I am in the location nearest the tower. Purchased monitor shows levels of EMF often too high to measure.

I want the dangers surrounding RF, 5G, EMF, ELF, and other frequencies in the air from Cell Phone towers eliminated. There's a reason you don't want to live by a cell phone tower or use your cell phone at the gas pump. Who knows how much 5G, EMF, RF and other forms of artificial Radiation that are around us now. No one wants to get sick by going to the airport. There are no regulations. I'm a concerned citizen and a Air Force veteran. RF and everything like it needs to be regulated.

Being around mobile phone signals, wifi and bluetooth gives me a headache. If I stay away from those signals, keep devices switched off and use shielding materials I'm okay. But it's getting harder to avoid the radiation day by day. Every day the number of signals and the strength of the signals seems to increase - the results I measure with my wifi analyser and EMF meter are radically greater than even 1 year ago, with the biggest difference near my home being the increasing strength of my neighbors wifi routers, plus all the extra backhaul channels that residential grade routers are running now. Epidemiologists have noted a huge increase in certain cancers of younger people since 2000. I know it's hard to pinpoint the cause with certainty but if the EMF associated with wifi wavelengths can cause a noticeable acute effect (headache) in me, imagine the chronic effects it is likely also causing in everyone else. I would like to see our safety agencies listening to science voices from outside the telecommunications industry when it comes to considering likely exposure doses and possible health outcomes from the increasing prevalence of wifi signals around us.

Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of Reassessment of Federal Communications Commission Radiofrequency Exposure Limits and Policies ET Docket No. 13-84 COMMENTS OF JANET DAVENPORT This filing provides comments from Janet Davenport in the above-referenced proceeding. I am a member of the public concerned with the unaddressed potential health and environmental risks of radiofrequency (RF) radiation from wireless infrastructure and devices. SUMMARY I am filing a report for a friend who is so sick with EHS that she can't even use electricity let alone get online to comment on her condition. She is an individual consumer living in Australia. Janet had to have the wiring in her home restructured so that all other wiring was separate from it. She uses no electricity and keeps warm during winter using candles. With exposures to wi-fi, mobile phones and cell towers, within 3 minutes she suffers severe migraines and begins vomiting. It can take her weeks to recover from simple exposures so for the most part she is completely isolated with no support from anyone. As I have EHS too, we write to each other and have done for years. It helps her not to feel so alone. I know Janet would like to see awareness raised on EMF dangers and protocols set in place to protect vulnerable sensitive people like herself. ARGUMENT Janet understands the full effects that EMF can have on the human body from her personal experience. She also gets printed newsletters and magazines to keep her updated on EMF research. Some of the points she would like to illustrate on these effects include: 1. The Effects of oxidative stress on the body including cancer, free radicals, blood chemistry. Oxidative mechanisms of biological activity of low-intensity radiofrequency radiation - PubMed 2. The acute health effects caused by smartphones and antennas which have proven to cause red blood cells to rouleaux creating hypoxic conditions in the body. CONCLUSION Accordingly, I strongly urge the Commission to, under the weight of the scientific evidence, find that the current RF exposure limits are insufficient to protect public health and the environment. They should be lowered to reflect the science previously disregarded by the Commission. Dated: 26th September 2026 Sincerely, JANET DAVENPORT Site 14, 2 Evans Rd Canton Beach, NSW 2263 Australia

If I am exposed to WIFI and/or mobile phone radiation I experience a “Fight, flight or freeze” reaction. My heart rate increases and I feel anxious and nauseous. If I am exposed for a period longer than about 90 minutes I experience extreme muscle tension and knotting which often leads to migraines. I also experience a “pause” in digestive processes, resulting in indigestion and constipation. These health effects have lead me to lose employment and makes it almost impossible for me to find work as I require a “radio quiet” area to live and work, something that is increasingly difficult to find. It causes me extreme anxiety. Sincerely, Lisa Greenhill

I am submitting this comment in response to FCC’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of an individual, retired Registered Veterinary Technician, parent, and human being. During January 2020, my family and I were sick with what seemed like a bad chest cold with cold/flu like symptoms. This was at the exact same time that AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile were all firing up their many 5G towers around the California central valley where I lived at the time. This was right after thousands of 5G towers were fired up in and around Wuhan China in September/October 2019 causing cold/flu-like “covid” symptoms”. I have also worked from home using a laptop computer and wifi router which caused me symptoms of irritability, anxiety, depression, dizziness, headaches, nausea, heaviness in the chest, fatigue, sleep disturbances, tinnitus and other cold/flu-like symptoms. Once I took out the router my symptoms improved but it wasn’t until I left my job to move out of state and was no longer working on a computer for 40 hours a week that I really started feeling better. I have had these same symptoms whenever I spend any time in a residence or building that has wifi and/or a large amount of electronic equipment, like the San Joaquin County building where the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors meet. I and others were sick for several days after spending hours waiting for my turn to speak in a Planning Commission meeting to address a legal matter regarding an illegal cell tower contract by the San Joaquin River Club where I used to live. I have also worked in several veterinary emergency hospitals with a lot of electronic equipment including fluid pumps, ultrasound machines, laboratory equipment and a CT scanner which caused irritability, anxiety, etc. I currently live in a low EMF environment which has really helped to alleviate my symptoms of Electromagnetic Radiation Sickness/Syndrome. I recently had an experience in which I had to gave my iPhone 16 on my person for at least 8 hours during the day because I was waiting for an important phone call in a town with several cell towers and 5G service. By the time I got home and no longer needed to have my phone on, I felt ill like I had the “flu”. I felt nauseous, had a headache and had to go to bed early. It took a couple days to get back to normal. I support FCC taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation and finally updating the 1996 guidelines. 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 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.

Sept 24, 2026 ET Docket No. 13-84 Reassessment of FCC RF Limits/Policies. I'm Jaime Schunkewitz, an electrical/biomedical engineer with an advanced case of electromagnetic hypersensitivity and accompanied chemical sensitivity. I was a process control engineer commissioning oil refineries, and chemical plants. Tremors in my forearms were a sure sign of neural damage according to Dr. Rea. Later while a principal software engineer in R&D, I could no longer endure the excruciating pain from the EMF emitted by my PC at work. I cut the cord and went wireless at the times. Pulsed microwaves emitted by wireless devices are an existential threat to my health and existence. Cell phones, Bluetooth, wifi all cause acute, severe symptoms including headache, tinnitus, fatigue, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), cognitive decline, insomnia, chest pain, heart fibrillation, muscle weakness, digestive gut pain. The effects accumulate, so the more time being exposed the worse the symptoms become, and longer recovery time is required. If I don't have an opportunity to recover then a feverish illness take over, where I'm bedridden. I'm only able to type because I'm 25 feet from my laptop using 10x binoculars. The keyboard is an analog/passive matrix with fiber optic isolation. My trackball is shielded and also fiber optic isolated. The laptop runs on the battery, charged by a linear power supply, with a short wired Ethernet cable, the modem and router run on linear DC power supplies , all wired without WiFi, and filtered to keep the noise from conducting onto the power lines. The printer is the most brutally noisy device, and turned on for a few seconds at a time, even with blutooth disarmed. The setup still becomes painful after several minutes of use, more so when on-line. Any witness can see my face turn red following short exposure to EMF. My face now burns constantly since smart meters were installed in the neighborhood. I visited my MD the same week they were installed, when he prescribed a topical ointment for Rosacia, because my face was beet red. At the time I wasn't aware the SMs were commissioned. I've become a prisoner in my own home, terrified of becoming ill from the ubiquitous cell towers, cell phones and other wireless devices. Even though we have an analog electric utility meter the pulsed microwaves from other houses still effect me, both from the radiation and high frequency noise conducted onto the power transmission lines. I don't have a smart phone, there are are no wireless devices in the house, there are no switching mode power supplies, No one uses a cell phone in the house. So there are no contradictions, I do all I can to avoid EMF just to stay alive and be as productive as possible. Otherwise I'll fall into a malaise, never to recover. In two instances my heart has ceased beating, until my hands froze and unable to utter a word. That occurred in the early stages of my syndrome, before remediating. I hide outside in a shed when the oil furnaces are on, same for TVs the washer, vacuum, blenders, etc. I can tell when a cell phone is on, even while standing idle; first tinnitus, then a headache. The symptoms don't just disappear when the phone goes off, rather they linger for hours,, even days, depending on the baseline of my sensitivity and exposure to EMF and chemicals. I can feel a 5G phone as someone walks in the house. Countless scientific studies prove the detrimental health effects of pulsed microwaves, yet the most credible, stark evidence are people like me. We've warned others, cried for help and recognition only to be bullied, tortured, ridiculed, ignored, left to fend for ourselves. My own MD told me I have to be my own advocate when I requested assistance in providing accommodations at the office. They refuse to turn the 50 inch TV off for me. It's playing gibberish while I'm suffering from oxidative stress, Add the cell phones then the symptoms begin to build with time, my heart rate quickens. When the chest pain begins I've entered a more acute stage, when gone too far a feverish sickness ensues a day later. Smart meters violate the right to privacy and the inalienable right to pursue happiness. All of us should have the option to have analog utility meters. Schoolchildren are at risk, screen time is pulsed microwave time. The combination of EMF and chemicals is the leading cause of chronic disease via activation of voltage gated calcium channels and subsequent oxidative stress. The single most effective way to make America great again is by cleaning up the environment from chemicals and EMF. The current rise in pollution, including atmospheric mercury, concurrently with pulsed microwaves is undermining us. Best Regards, Jaime Schunkewitz.

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.

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: As a beekeeper, I have personally seen the effects of 5g wireless radiation on our pollinators. We had a 5g tower installed less than 5 miles away several years ago. After the towers installation, I began to have excessive bee colony deaths over the winter. This had not been an issue with my colonies prior to the towers installation. In addition, to the bee losses, I began to experience an increase in headaches when at home. As a nurse, I began to do research and learned there is emerging evidence of the health implications for both animals and humans from 5G technology. I was appalled at how communicatuons companies and the FCC have failed to conduct any independent research on the effects of their technology! This is unacceptable! Further, the towers are unsightly and decrease property values and are bypassing any resident input on their placement. 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.

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 !
