My health was horribly harmed when a Smart Meter was installed on my home in March of 2012.\n\nThankfully, the Smart Meter was removed in 2013, and the analog meter was re-installed due to our PUC (Public Utilities Commission) who voted we could choose to have the Smart meter removed.\n\nI am a 30 year researcher on all topics regarding health and wellness. When I became harmed, I researched all the prominent websites that were honest and informative on the facts of just how harmful wireless radiation is to the human body, to animals and to the whole world.\n\nIn 2014 I became and educator, teacher and mentor in which I assist people who were suffering like I was from wireless radiation. \n\nIn 2013, I hired a Professional EMR (Electro Magnetic Radiation) consultant to teach me how to remove all the wireless radiation from my home, how to shield my home with a shielding paint so my neighbors wireless devices would not harm my health even more.... and my analog meter was re-installed for a very small fee.\n\nI am unable  to be in close proximity to all wireless devices, and no one is allowed      to come into my home with any wireless devices: cell phone, blue tooth, watches, computers,iPads.....and the list goes on.\n\n  Wireless radiation emits radiofrequency (RF) energy, a type of non-ionizing radiation that current major public health agencies categorize as a possible human carcinogen.\n\n Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic) based on an increased risk for brain and heart tumors.  \n\nReproductive Health: Studies link frequent trouser-pocket storage of active mobile phones to reduced sperm counts, lower motility, and potential DNA damage.Cellular Stress: Laboratory findings suggest RF exposure can induce oxidative stress and minor biochemical adjustments.\n\nVulnerable Groups: Children absorb higher proportional doses of radiation in head and skull bone marrow tissue compared to adults due to thinner skull bones and developing nervous systems.\n\nEffects on Animals and Wildlife Laboratory Studies: Recent systematic reviews backed by health organizations indicate high certainty that long-term, high-intensity wireless RF radiation links to specific tumor types in animals and humans.\n\nThere is an active community of advocacy groups, specific research institutes, and independent scientists who argue that current exposure guidelines are outdated and that low-level, non-thermal wireless radiation poses biological and environmental risks.\n\nThe most prominent groups, research entities, and individuals associated with this viewpoint include:\nRecognized Advocacy & Research GroupsThe Environmental Health Trust (EHT): Led for years by epidemiologist Dr. Devra Davis, Environmental Health Trust publishes literature and campaigns for stricter public policy regarding wireless infrastructure, 5G, and cell phone radiation. \nThey successfully sued the FCC to force a review of its 1996 testing guidelines.The Ramazzini Institute: A respected independent scientific organization based in Italy. Their large-scale animal studies looked at environmental levels of radiofrequency radiation (similar to cell tower emissions) and reported a potential link to certain types of tumors, replicating some findings of the U.S. government's National Toxicology Program (NTP) study.The BioInitiative Working Group: An international collaboration of scientists and public health professionals that published the BioInitiative Report. The report argues that existing safety limits are thousands of times too high to protect against non-thermal biological effects.\n\nNavigation and Behavior: Environmental studies report that low-level electromagnetic fields can disrupt the magnetic compass orientation used by migratory bird species.Insects and Ecosystems: Higher frequency bands (including 5G and broadband spectrums) overlap with frequencies that can act as environmental stressors on small insects, causing motor disturbances or behavioral changes.\n\nThe most important fact is human health globally is being compromised and millions of people are suffering  from exposure to Wireless Radiation.\n'\nThank you, Gloria Frank  *  Safe technology Educator                                  ","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0300","tags":["cancer-tumors","child-development","biology-metabolism","exposure-places","policy-standards","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"4633498c83dd5616f6eb15251c13b04a6ab6e89e776cc09f1e6bd6c766227da0","slug":"cancer-tumors-comment-0300","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0300","body_sha256":"c6411332c99f56f750edb6d9f64f79c15a74ca24707e98d6dcb2c4a24d984e7d","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"smart-meters","topics":[{"id":"smart-meters","evidence":"My health was horribly harmed when a Smart Meter was installed on my home in March of 2012."},{"id":"cancer","evidence":"Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic) based on an increased risk for brain and heart tumors."},{"id":"reproductive","evidence":"Reproductive Health: Studies link frequent trouser-pocket storage of active mobile phones to reduced sperm counts, lower motility, and potential DNA damage.Cellular Stress: Laboratory findings suggest RF exposure can induce oxidative stress a"},{"id":"children","evidence":"Vulnerable Groups: Children absorb higher proportional doses of radiation in head and skull bone marrow tissue compared to adults due to thinner skull bones and developing nervous systems."},{"id":"environment","evidence":"I researched all the prominent websites that were honest and informative on the facts of just how harmful wireless radiation is to the human body, to animals and to the whole world."},{"id":"standards","evidence":"I am unable  to be in close proximity to all wireless devices, and no one is allowed      to come into my home with any wireless devices: cell phone, blue tooth, watches, computers,iPads.....and the list goes on."},{"id":"mechanisms","evidence":"I am unable  to be in close proximity to all wireless devices, and no one is allowed      to come into my home with any wireless devices: cell phone, blue tooth, watches, computers,iPads.....and the list goes on."}],"summary":"The commenter reports illness after smart-meter installation and subsequent mitigation, and discusses claimed cancer, reproductive, cellular and wildlife effects in advocating stronger protection.","reviewed_at":"2026-09-22T14:53:58Z","review_method":"AI-assisted full comment-body review with exact source passages; September 22 CSV update","review_source_sha256":"d003d7ba2744a0527d475db65fa6eb9149e9629270bc64908a4a7e587fdbc53b","source_url":"https://rfsafe.net/hhs-comments/data/catalog.json","scope":"Original comment body; attachments excluded"},"forum_topics":["smart-meters","cancer","reproductive","children","environment","standards","mechanisms"],"primary_topic":"smart-meters","forum_title":"The commenter reports illness after smart-meter installation and subsequent mitigation, and discusses cla…"}
