I am responding as: an individual\n3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)Public transport equipped with wireless technology (trams, busses, trains, planes), where nearly all passengers are constantly scrolling on their cell phones.\n3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):I have been experiencing health issues since 2020 when 5G was introduced in Belgium and in most other EU countries. An average tram ride takes 10-20 minutes, a domestic European flight 2-4 hours.\nMy body always responds to the EMF.\nThat's why I avoid public transport, and when I do have to take a bus, tram or train I always look for a seat away from other passengers. I often change 2-4 times of seat when new passengers get up and all the seats around me get taken. But sometimes there is \"no escape\" possible.\n3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:A fatigue overwhelms me, I start sweating and my vision gets blurred. I have had light cataract since 2021. Once home (low radiation home) it takes half an hour to a few hours before the symptoms disappear. But of course my cataract does not disappear.\n3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:According to the intensity of the EMF, adverse health effects appear within about 15 minutes to an hour. The fuller a bus, tram or train compartment, the faster the effects.\n3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?Although I gave my family physician scientific information on the impact of EMF, he is not interested in the matter. After I gave him the information I asked his opinion during the 2 next consultations (over a period of 1-2 years). He twice said that he did not have had the time yet to read through the information.\nFor the majority of the medical establishment there is a taboo, omerta on the topic!\n3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?I avoid public transport. I rather walk or bike.\n3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:I have not found yet any studies on EMF in public transport.\nBut there is this website https://carsradiation.org/\nAdditional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:   \nB1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:public transport (bus, tram, train, plane), mobile phones, wi-fi\nB1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:No idea.\nB1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed:No idea.\nB1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):Yoga and a shiatsue massage every 3-4 weeks to calm my nervous system.\nGardening, being in nature.\nB2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless:These are not health conditions but may be related to my sensitivity; empathy with all life, great sense of responsibiity.\nB2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant:   \nB3. For each subquestion please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any)\nB3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure:yoga\nshiatsu\norganic food\nintermittent fasting\nB3b. That you recommend, but you’re not positive that they help:supplements: omega 3, vitamine D, organic herbal teas.\nB3c. That helped you but you don’t recommend. (e.g., the benefit did not last long or the side effects were too harmful):   \nB3d. Treatments that had no effect:   \nB3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse:65-74\nB4. What is your age range?65-74\nB5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields?2020\nB6. What country, state, province, or major city were you living in when you first noticed your sensitivity to wireless or electromagnetic fields?Belgium, Flanders","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5580","tags":["health-experiences","exposure-places","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"548484bfcbae50d16e478131b8f792b7457cf55c5b3ee617bcf96ec5d198ce77","slug":"health-experiences-comment-5580","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5580","body_sha256":"95cc0361de0c9b8ce7ccbee22d11470bdedcdcd57795b97147ccde3b7b584a78","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"access","topics":[{"id":"access","evidence":" body always responds to the EMF.\nThat's why I avoid public transport, and when I do have to take a bus, tram or train I always look f"},{"id":"wifi","evidence":":public transport (bus, tram, train, plane), mobile phones, wi-fi\nB1b.
