I have also seen the results of high electromagnetic fields in my own environment at home measuring extremely high fields from my electric smart meter, Wi-Fi router and nearby cell towers With my meters. I have read through some of the 1000 studies or so that have been done on the biological effects of electromagnetic fields and have determined that they are not , for the most part,  frequencies and power levels, that are compatible with human biology, and the field strengths are getting higher and higher. Ever since my analog electric meter on my home was replaced with a higher power Wi-Fi meter I experienced tinnitus ever since. And when I am close to a transmitter I always know because my ears ring louder. I have even gone to the point of using shielding paint to at least Shield my bedroom so that while my body is in a rest and digest and repair mode at night it is not being impacted by these electromagnetic fields affecting our electromagnetic bodies as our heart and brain and cells all run based on frequency and voltage that's why there are EKGs and EEG's to measure the electrical activity of our organs. Also every cell has a voltage gated calcium channel and Martin Pall and others have shown the delirious effects on these from electromagnetic fields at various Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G and 5G frequencies. Please fund real research that isn't biased or funded by the telecommunication companies and en act much stricter limits. We are definitely headed in the wrong direction with Ever increasing power levels. We do not use any wireless devices in our home and have our home hardwired and fiber optics could certainly be used more in place of wireless transmitters.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-2997","tags":["health-experiences","exposure-places","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"54da7a657a6cba514bcf7d83b0326c33c823fca1a01a09e8ec432af578ab218c","slug":"health-experiences-comment-2997","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-2997","body_sha256":"bc2e1e9ac5a26022c3b2def8e83db21e5558319f104da54eb6756cf6abfc01fe","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"smart-meters","topics":[{"id":"smart-meters","evidence":" extremely high fields from my electric smart meter, Wi-Fi router and nearby cell towers With my meters.
