I am writing under your question: Public Experiences and Reported Potential Adverse Health Effects. \n\nI have been biologically impacted from EMF/RFR for many years. I have a medical diagnosis from my physician and have attached a redacted version of the letter that she provided to the U.S District Court Court stating this diagnosis, and that I would not be able to participate in Jury Duty, due to the biological impacts of the EMF/RFR present in the court's environment-the request for dismissal was granted.\n\nI want to begin by saying that millions of people around the world are biologically affected by EMF/RFR and these numbers are steadily growing as a result of our everyday exposures. In my own life, I have had to make significant changes in order to stay healthy in our modern wireless world. When exposed to EMF/RFR via wireless/cellular devices and infrastructure, I experience biological flu-like symptoms, ear pain and heart palpitations which quickly resolve once I am away from these exposures. While these are the biological effects I observe in the immediacy,  I also note that EMF/RFR has been demonstrated to cause inflammation and Oxidative Stress which play out in the body over time. \n\nProtective steps in daily life:\n-No wireless devices-everything is hard wired\n-Landline- no cell phone. \n-Opt-outs for all smart utility meters\n-Driving an older car with no EMF/RFR\n-Financial investment monthly for extra charges for utility meter opt-outs \n-Financial investment into RFR/EMF meter, RFR/EMF blocking curtains, tents. clothing for use when outside the home and when traveling to secure these environments. \n\nFor reference:\nRFR/EMF blocking clothing-$100- $350 per item\nRFR/EMF meters- $300- $500 per meter, \nRFR/EMF blocking tents- $1500- $3500 \nRFR/EMF blocking curtains $300 per set \nUtility smart meter opt-outs$10 - $75 monthly per meter. \n\nDaily realities:\n-No safety from RFR/EMF anywhere outside home.\n-Can no longer work outside of home.\n-Necessity of RFR/EMF protective clothing & products outside the home.\n-Ongoing difficult asks and conversations with family, friends- regularly\n-All appliances, cars, computers, devices have to be hard wired and safe with RFR/EMF; immense and time consuming effort maintaining and finding these resources- ongoing\n\nConsiderations\n-More and more people are seeing biological effects with growing exposures.\n-The industry blocking info on biological & environmental harms and thus the solutions. Bio-effects are 100% preventable.\n-Regulatory agencies and policy makers are not regulating this discussion due to the immense power of telecom.\n-The U.S. has a poor history with environmental toxicants, action not taken on lead for over 70 years after established as unsafe, similarly with asbestos, PFAS, tobacco.  \n-Our millennials, the first generation to grow up with significantly increasing exposures to RFR/EMF identified as the  unhealthiest generation on record according to the Blue Cross Health of America Report. Directly correlates chronologically to increased EMF/RFR exposures\n\nSolutions; Industry, Regulatory Agencies & Policy Makers: \n-Formally acknowledging the biological/environmental effects of EMF/RFR\n-Instituting safer biological emissions/exposure standards\n-Instituting emissions to be capped at 10 Microwatts per meter squared per all devices/infrastructure- align with biological exposure guidelines.\n-Instituting safer designs of cell phones, devices, infrastructure\n-Instituting “off means off” on all cell phones, wireless systems/devices-no transmitting in airplane or when wireless options are “off.” \n-Instituting factory settings of all wireless devices at the lowest setting and making them adjustable.\n-Instituting that EMF/RFR emission standards are set and regulated by HHS/FDA/medical/scientific experts.\n- Instituting rules prohibiting those regulating telecom in the FCC/HHS/FDA from being employed by the telecommunication industry for at least 5 years before or after their regulatory position has begun/ ended.\n-Re-open the TCA and allowing biological/environmental health and safety considerations.\n-Review the New Hampshire Commission's 390 page report and use it as a model for protective policy with wireless radiation.  \n-Institute the industry assuming legal liability for the safety of their products.\n\nThank you for your consideration and I hope that you will use this inquiry as an opportunity to make the changes that are both doable and will allow for a healthier, safer and better future for us all. \n\nAttached:\n-Physicians letter- redacted\n-Henry Lai- Genetic Effects of Radiofrequency Radiation \n-Heroux/Chamberlin: Cell Phone Radiation Exposure Limits and Engineering Solutions\n-New Hampshire Commission Report ","attachments":["https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6953/attachment_3.pdf","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6953/attachment_2.pdf","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6953/attachment_4.pdf","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6953/attachment_1.pdf"],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6953","tags":["health-experiences","biology-metabolism","exposure-places","policy-standards","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"4b215dc7603c1d8d7c774eb966358821ef09280c4151faebe92ae692b3e5661d","slug":"health-experiences-comment-6953","classification":null,"forum_topics":["awaiting-review"],"primary_topic":"awaiting-review","forum_title":"Dear HHS, I am writing to participate in the collection of information regarding the biological effects o…"}
