From 2019 to 2023, I lived in a 3rd story apartment where I was unkowingly exposed to high chronic levels of emf. 
My husband and I moved there in 2019. Later that year, I started having inexplicable exhaustion, inflammation and body aches which have been worsening progressively while living there, despite me getting various therapies and lifestyle and dietary improvements. We also had unexplained infertility.

In 2022, I decided to get an EMF meter. My husband and I were surprised to measure very high levels of radiation in specific zones that resembled 'beams' cutting through our apartment, even when our wifi was powered off. Certain locations in our living room where we worked from home, and the kitchen where we spend a lot of time cooking, were registering levels of radiation that were far above the normal threshold.

In 2023, my husband was walking home and noticed a discreetly hidden cell tower in the parking lot a couple blocks from our apartment. He noticed that the positioning of the tower correlated uncannily to the angle of the beams in our apartment, entering from the side where we have a large glass patio balcony door. We think we have finally found the culprit for the ridiculous levels of emf we had been chronically exposed to, along with many other residents who may be suffering unknowingly because of it.

At that time, I reached out to the city to ask who authorized the tower location and height, but received a response that they have very little regulatory control over it. 

I am so glad we are finally looking into this at a federal level. Can we better regulate the companies to require actual research proving the required clearances to avoid health effects? Can we also require ongoing monitoring since this is a new technology and start getting some longer term studies?

Though we had lived in that area for many years and enjoyed its quiet and safe community, this issue has been so harmful to our health and quality of life that we decided to move out because of it. In 2024, I received laproscopic diagnosis for stage 4 endometriosis and adenomyosis. Looking back, I wish I didn't live in that apartment, or knew earlier so I could have moved out.

Now I am living in a new place with a lot less EMF exposure. I do not get the chronic headaches or fatigue that I used to feel in that apartment. I am on the journey to recovering and feeling better.

For the health and wellbeing of all US residents and citizens, please scrutinize the health impacts of these cell towers on the surrounding community. The proper location and height of these towers is so critical to the health of so many that could be impacted.
