Wildlife & environment

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.

Thousands of peer-reviewed articles (https://bioinitiative.org/?sm_guid=MTA1NDMyOXw1OTY3NTg4OXwtMXx0ZHJlaWVyQGhvdG1haWwuY29tfDkwNzgyMTd8fDB8MHwzMzQ1NzQxNzR8MTA2MXwwfDB8fDE5NjY5ODJ8MA2) have shown that wireless radiation at levels allowed by the FCC can harm children, adults, plants, trees, birds and their migration, pets, wildlife, pollinators and other insects. The FCC must follow the D.C. Circuit Court's 2020 order in EHT v. FCC to address how wireless radiation affects children and the environment, the health implications of long-term exposure, and the increase in the vast number of devices and changes in technology since 1996.

I was living in Honolulu, HI when it opened as the first Iridium satellite gate and when the full system was activated. My health and quality of life was immediately affected. I can't sleep as well, think as well, and have had increasing health issues related to radiation exposures as the levels have increased since then. I have been diagnosed by an MD, under WHO codes, as having radiation and microwave sickness. I have had to move 4 or more times, pay to opt out of smart meters and to modify my home environment, and have lost access to public spaces. I have been forced to use cell phones while traveling, and now even for banking and government services, and have no phone at home options other than voice over internet, which is very poor quality. The more the wireless in integrated into public utilities and public spaces the sicker I have become and been forced to restrict my travel and social life. It has made me functionally disabled with no place of safe shelter and no way to communicate normally and at great financial cost. I don't need or want wireless radiation in consumer products, and I don't want highly conductive nanoparticles or semi-conductive materials in my food, medicine, clothing and household appliances and products, because it increases my sensitivity. If putting wireless objects against or near your body is not advised by manufacturers and doctors, why would anyone want to put wireless objects inside your body? Making a hand held cell phone that can't work without contact to your hand is a health hazard, and a terrible design for communication devices. I have telephone jacks in my recently built home that are now useless and the replacements are much more expensive. I don't want pulsed microwave radiation running through the wiring in my home. How about adapting the technology to people and not forcing people to pay for and adapt to new technology that only benefits the really big plans of the military and corporations that should not be involved in human eugenics or in transforming the planet into a wireless AI system.

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.

When very overweight and no longer losing weight, my nutritionist recommended that I consider turning off all my computer and bedroom power every night, making my landlines corded instead of wireless, (I didn't have a smart phone), and make all computer technology corded with EMF protected cords from Less EMF. In other words, he suspected my high EMF environment (like most Americans) was causing weight gain. I was eating a diet that normally allowed me to lose weight fast, but it had stalled. After 3 weeks of dramatically reducing home EMFs, my daily weight loss restarted and continued when the only thing I changed was emf exposure-not diet or exercise. At that point, I spent the money and bought expensive meters and studied EMFs.

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,

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.

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

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 my son and I often have tinniutus and head pressure/migraines from the wireless technologies that plague our home. We turn off our wireless at night, which has helped to a point, but are still surrounded by many neighbors who leave theirs on 24/7. We often do not feel well the longer we are on our cell phones and laptop because of such direct exposure of wireless frequencies. We can literally feel the uncomfortable frequencies driving past the cell towers or being near a smart meter. The wireless frequencies are disturbing the cells within our bodies because we are made of frequencies as well. It feels as if we have been guinea pigs/research subjects for so many experiments, and it's about time someone is putting a spotlight on wireless radio frequencies and its harmful consequences, so that we can do something meaningful about it. Overall, I believe that 1) homes and workplaces would have more reliable connections with wired services for phone, TV, computers, equipment than what wireless can provide. 2) There is also more security from being hacked with wired services. 3) There needs to be ethical longitudinal studies into wireless frequency and how it affects not just humans but also wildlife--animals, plants, soil, water, air, environment as a whole. 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.

It is long past time to make sure that we are all protected from electromagnetic fields and wireless radiation. Many studies have been done that show the damage can be severe, especially for higher radiation levels such as 5G. The next generation that is being proposed, 6 G and higher, will be even worse. Some people are more seriously affected than others, but already it is hard for those most affected to find places where they can be comfortable. I have several friends who are immediately affected by the presence of cell towers and other emitting devices. However, even those who are not aware of it are being affected. All these forms of radiation damage not only humans, but also domestic animals, wildlife, and even plants. It would be nice if industry was more capable of restraining itself or if education about the dangers wasn’t being smothered by monetary influences, but since that is not proving to be the case, we need laws and regulations to stop the increasing prevalence of radiation before we do further damage to ourselves and our planet.
