1. & 2. I am responding as: individual
3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)close cell phone tower
3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):I did not pay attention at the time the cell phone tower was installed. I never paid attention to them much. In April of 2019, I started feeling, not myself at work, and then an avalanche of symptoms occurred over a year. This tower is located very near my office. Work hours 8:00 am to 7:00 pm, Monday through Friday, Saturdays 8:00-12:00.
3c. Adverse health effects experienced: overheating=felt like being cooked, excessive sweating. Then I experienced headaches, increasing in frequency and severity, tinnitus, inability to sleep, body pain, memory issues, GI problems, fatigue, hair loss. Then heart palpitations, swollen ankles, bleeding gums, excessive bruising & dizziness. It feels like being poked all over my body & with pressure around man made emf.
3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects. We did not know for sure what was causing the symptoms until after a staycation at home. This was before they upgraded the tower by my home. My symptoms had improved, and after the 4th night I could sleep. It had to be the newer cell tower by work. I tried to shield, wired up, and had a no wireless devices policy at work & home.  Over time you keep getting exposures from people around you who forget to shut off their devices, the cell tower, smart meters that forget to shut off their devices. The reduction in exposure was not enough at work, too much EMF everywhere.  I progressively got worse to where I was forced to give up my work and live in my basement, I could not even tolerate going up to my main floor in my house. I could not tolerate anything. 
3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought?  No, I live in my basement where I could eventually function and was able to sleep and heal. The world outside, doctor's offices, hospitals are full of wireless devices and have cell towers by them and on them. 
3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects? Yes as stated above. Work= shielding, stopped using the front half of my office building closer to tower. Shielded walls closest to the tower. Wore shielded clothing, had patients not bring wireless devices.  We stopped using wireless devices. We purchased an emf detector to scout out all emitting devices ( TV, Modem, printer, remotes, etc.) We paid for a building biologist to evaluate our home for safety. Removed smart meter off home,& painted the cell tower facing wall of our home with shielding paint. This gave me safer areas to be but the EMF was not low enough & my symptoms got worse to where I had to give up work & move into my basement at home where I still live today.
3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements: We do from our building biologist who is an electrical engineer too. His equipment was hard for us to understand, but we do have copies of his scans of our home. He did say that our home was one of the worst residences he had ever tested at this point and recommended us to move. I was not able to work at this point so we did not have him test the clinic.
