I have shortness of breath, and am fearful that 5-g could make me worse. I do avoid any 5-g exposure as much as possible.\nAs a person who fears 5-g, I am restricted geographically. For instance, I missed an opportunity to buy a lake property, Paddock Lake, WI, because when going to see the property, i saw it was within a few hundred feet of a 5-g tower. I fear the health effects for me and for my visiting family, especially the grandchildren who range in age from 6-11. \nI believe the communication-industry profit drives the community to allow 5-g in spite of the welfare of the community. The tower near Paddock Lake, WI was on Fire-station Property. I am sure it was an economic benefit for the station, but not a health benefit for the firemen or  the local neighbors. That tower was the sole reason I would not buy the home on the lake. It is not a risk I can take, though I would have loved to live there had I not been so fearful of 5-g.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-3818","tags":["child-development","exposure-places"],"source_hash":"9c172090642cef56c2525f1862b3b224d170c1388fdbd9df5bafc0870ca238ad","slug":"child-development-comment-3818","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-3818","body_sha256":"70b908604e1d6d3b5415323298101f7d8aa384f7d1a9ab28410194bcf6bb58ff","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"cardiac","topics":[{"id":"cardiac","evidence":"I am a citizen who fears 5-g, as I have high blood pressure, 152/80, though taking medication as prescribed by a cardiologis"},{"id":"infrastructure","evidence":"when going to see the property, i saw it was within a few hundred feet of a 5-g tower.
