Wi-Fi, meters & wireless devices

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,

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.

Hello, I am EMF Sensitive and have spent countless hours and a lot of money, along with others in our city to stop the smart meter roll out to no avail. When I was not at home, 2 city policemen showed up at my property ( I have video) along with 2 city employees, one of whom placed a smart meter on my home even after I spoke to the city council several times and submitted certified letters asking for health information on the smart meter. No city official/employee ever responded to my letters, no one returned my calls or addressed my concerns that I spoke of at the city council meetings even though they took my information indicating that someone would get back to me. Once the smart meter was on, I decided to just wait and see if it actually did affect me. It started right away, with me having sudden onset of headaches, sleepless nights and generally feeling ill to my stomach. My husband called the city within a week to ask them to replace with the opt-out meter. Our city charges $24.65/ month for the opt out and has expressed that they want it to be expensive to keep others from opting out. Xcel charges about $11/month ( county provider)You can imagine what a hardship this expense is but many of us are sick from this exposure. We feel it is extortion. Many in our community have opted out( I believe over 300) and significantly more said they would opt-out if they could afford the fee. Someone did a Nextdoor poll and a large portion of our community did not want these harmful devices on/near our homes. Once the opt-out was placed on our home, my headaches went away and I could sleep better. Since they have been placing these devices in our neighborhood, I still feel ill in my home. I have learned there is what my electrician calls dirty electricity everywhere now and I am still being affected my neighbor's smart meters, so it is hard to get away from these frequencies that are harmful to humans, animals and even our plants. I know that before they changed out my original meter, I felt good, especially after I replaced the LED lights for incandescent ones. Now, since the smart meter and opt-out meter roll-out, I feel ill in my own home and a lot poorer, too. We should not have to pay to keep our bodies healthy. I believe that it is extortion. There has to be a better way for our health and the health of future generations. Thank you.

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.

I urge the FCC to respond to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ remand concerning its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. The current guidelines do not adequately protect humans against harmful effects of RF radiation unrelated to cancer. The impact of RF radiation on both adults and children are serious matters and the FCC and critical federal health agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, should rely on appropriate health and biological expertise when addressing the issues identified by the court. This issue matters to me personally because my husband developed a severe reaction to electromagnetic radio frequencies after contracting Lyme Disease. He experiences a very specific type of headache with exposure to wifi routers, cell towers, and all types of electrical devices. We have to shield our computers with nickel shields to reduce his exposure; and we do not have wifi in our house and we use ethernet only. There is an elementary school adjoinnig our property, and these children need protection. Cell towers are being placed on school property, church properties and at parks, all places where children are being harmed. I was a public school nurse in the 1980's and am well-aware of the types of diseases children faced in that era. They were few. Today, children are sicker than ever. They need protection from harmful influences, including radiation. I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to personal experiences and evidence and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court. Do not put off this important matter.

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.

I lived in my house since 1996 without incident. However, shortly after the next-door neighbor's smart meter was installed I became violently ill.Although I never had experienced any of these symptoms in my life, I began vomiting blood, having severe chest pains with difficulty breathing, stabbing muscle and joint pain and an enlarged thyroid, documented by my physician Our previously healthy dogs all began losing weight, vomiting, losing hair AND TWO DIED. A second physician stated in writing that if I got a smart meter, I would die. I was forced to move into my car and then live in a tent.An electrical engineer measured dangerous levels of radiation and conducted emissions emanating from the neighbor's house, as we do not even have WI-FI.Since 2019 I have been forced to be itinerant , being unable to live in my home due to the neighbor's smart meter.Wireless technology is borne of cupidinous greed.

When a smart meter was placed on my home by Tacoma Power I had severe reaction. My normally sound sleep turned into a sleep nightmare. I felt like I was being shocked awake multiple times a night, every night. My heart had always been regular rhythm. After smart meter was placed my heart was very irregular and pounding. I was foggy headed and twice, two different days, forgot a pot on the stove with the burner on- which if my husband had not come in when he did could have caught fire. The heart and sleep issues happened from day one. When I was away from home at work with no smart meter exposure my heart was absolutely normal. I asked via email 2-3 times for the smart meter to be replaced with an analog meter but they refused. The power company did not honor my request to stop that toxic exposure. They did agree to "intermittent use" when my husband phoned them (after the second time I left a pot on a burner for an extended time). Intermittent use of smart meter meant I had symptoms at random times which I assume correlated with their turning it on remotely. Fortunately for me the smart meter stopped working and I am safe/ok again in my own home. That smart meter encounter was terrifying.
