{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4276","number":"4276","name":"Pierre Toson","organization":"","posted":"2026-10-24T04:00Z","received":"2026-10-15T04:00Z","body":"I am submitting this comment as an individual who has experienced severe and life-changing health problems that I associate with exposure to electromagnetic fields, particularly radiofrequency (RF) radiation from wireless devices.\n\nMy sensitivity to wireless radiation began approximately four years ago. Gradually, I noticed that exposure to devices emitting wireless signals appeared to trigger or significantly worsen symptoms similar to those associated with fibromyalgia, including physical pain, exhaustion, and a profound reduction in my ability to function both physically and mentally.\n\nAt the time, I was living in Paris and working in the IT industry, which meant that I was surrounded by wireless devices and exposed to multiple sources of RF radiation on a daily basis. Despite trying to reduce my exposure, I gradually became less and less able to cope with the demands of my professional life. I had to progressively reduce my working hours and responsibilities until I eventually reached a point where I could no longer work at all. Approximately two and a half years ago, I also had to leave Paris and move back in with my parents in the countryside in an attempt to improve my health, at age 30.\n\nAlthough my current living environment has significantly less wireless radiation than my previous one, exposure is far from absent, partly because there are mobile phone base stations in the village. My symptoms remain severe and have a devastating impact on my daily life. Whenever I have to leave the house or when other people use mobile phones inside the house, I experience a significant worsening of my symptoms.\n\nConversely, I have noticed that spending time in quiet environments with very low levels of wireless radiation can bring some relief and allow me to recover a small degree of well-being. This observation has become one of the most important factors in my efforts to manage my condition.\n\nThe consequences extend far beyond physical discomfort. I have lost my ability to work, I rarely see my friends anymore, and I am no longer able to participate in ordinary daily activities. Rather than truly living, I feel that I am merely surviving. This is particularly difficult because I desperately want to regain my health, return to work, become active again, and rebuild a reasonably normal life.\n\nOver the past four years, I have consulted dozens of doctors and healthcare practitioners, including practitioners working in alternative approaches. Unfortunately, none of the treatments I have tried has provided meaningful or lasting relief. So far, the most significant improvement I have experienced has come from being in quiet environments with very low levels of wireless radiation, and also having an healthy diet, cooking fresh and organic products helped me.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4276","tags":["health-experiences","exposure-places"],"source_hash":"c7c5e1347b7eb92135c6cc2476b1c7158853d66db26fa5fae03ef116dca427a9","slug":"health-experiences-comment-4276","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4276","body_sha256":"f6e10a99623fadefa03ab560dfa9c9465d4289be5dd5d6e55aa13ed45fee5e5d","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"ehs","topics":[{"id":"ehs","evidence":"uency (RF) radiation from wireless devices.\n\nMy sensitivity to wireless radiation began approximately four years ago.
