ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure.
I am responding from the perspective of a parent and concerned member of the public. In 2012 I was exposed to high levels of microwave radiation from two smart meters which were installed directly ont he exterior wall of my bedroom. I experienced a number of symptoms which included: brain fog, fatigue, whole body irritability, dizziness, and a squeezing pressure in my head. I was forced to move out of my apartment and seek alternative housing. This exposure has developed into a sensitivity i didn't have prior to that exposure. Wether or not the utility meters are technically "smart" meters or not is besides the point. They emit high levels of pulsed radiation 24/7. Now, 13 years later, I am living in a house with my wife and two daughters. We don't use wifi(we use ethernet) and we use our cell phones very conservatively. Over the years following my exposure I was pushed out of a number of different jobs becasue I couldn't tolerate the environment. Traveling anywhere via buses, trains, airplanes is very difficult. I work as a private contractor practicing a type of physical bodywork( Structural Integration/ myofascial work) which requires me to rent space for sessions. I am very limited in my options because of either a cell tower placed too close to the building, a banck of smart meters on an adjacent building or wall, or too many smart devices, etc. It's not that I cannot be around wireless radiation at all. i can. It all depends on the proximity and strength of the source. I want to be clear. I did not suffer from this condition prior to my exposre to smart meters in 2012. In fact, I used my cell phone and connected my laptop to wifi frequently. I didn't think anything of it. After figuring out what was causing my symptoms( I was lucky enough to hear someone else talking about it) I started looking into the effects of wireless radiation on biological health. There are 1000's of studies showing harm from exposure to wireless radiation. I am very grateful and hopeful that the HHS will take the necessary steps to consider the evidence and take appropriate action to upgrade and enforce proper regulations and exposure limits. I've attached some files as evidence of action taken by other countries and as evidence of biological harm from wireless radiation.
I support HHS 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 HHS 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.
