I wanted to offer my experience with EMF sensitivity. Prior to 2019 I did not have WIFI at my house. I owned an IPHONE but had very limited cell service in the rural area I lived in Arkansas and only used my IPHONE on my lunch hour at work. In 2019 I moved to California to help my daughter out with a new baby and lived in an apartment which had 24/7 WIFI and my daughters house also had 24/7 WIFI. I developed insomnia and anxiety to such a degree that after a year I moved back to AR. I later got married and my husband needs WIFI for his research but we unplug the WIFI box at night. Now, whenever I experience anxiety I am unable to look at my phone for more than 15 minutes at a time because it increases the anxiety. Also, at a doctor’s office I went to recently, they had a large TV in the waiting room with a movie playing and I was extremely uncomfortable with what I can only imagine was EMF exposure. We do not watch TV at home and only watch an occasional movie due to my sensitivity. The rural area we now live in does not offer landline phones so I have no other choice but to use WIFI.

Dear Robert, I’m extremely grateful for you focusing on this vital issue. I’m began to notice symptoms in 1993 when I began dating, my now ex husband. My neck & head ached & I was extremely tired after spending time on his company car. It would ease off & I’d be absolutely fine, at home. No one has a mobile. He also mentioned that he got headaches when he was working & in the car. And like me, he’d be fine, in his home. I then asked him to think what he did differently at work. He replied he uses his mobile. At home, he’d use the landline. When we’d go out, he would take his mobile with him & put it in the car. He’d then keep it on his body, when he was either in the office or on site working. I bought my mobile phone in 2014. I noticed the same symptoms, with additional nausea &’dizziness. It was as if I was moving in slow motion. I felt dreadful! I looked into finding a solution & found a decent cell phone shield. My symptoms disappeared. Approximately, two years later, I bought a newer mobile. Within a day, all my symptoms returned. I had forgotten to attach a cell phone shield! I thought I can’t wait for one to arrive, so I managed to detach the one from my old mobile & used superglue to attach it to my new one. No need to guess how I began to feel.

I developed electromagnetic hypersensitivity after moving from my home in a rural setting to a small city of around 40,000 people. My symptoms began after living in my home for 3-4 years. I worked as an RN at a large medical center. I was active with no medical conditions and on medications. I have always been involved and active in environmental health issues. I knew enough about "smart Meters" to have the meter on my new home removed as soon as I moved into the city. After living in my home for 2-3 years I began to have symptoms of extreme fatigue walking up 1 flight of stairs. I would wake every morning with deep burning in my eyes and a headache. I noticed that the burning would ease when I ate breakfast in the kitchen area. I then developed other vague symptoms - one night I got up with feelings of pain in my intestinal tract and I passed out in the bathroom and fell to the floor. I went to an Integrative Medicine physician for an evaluation. I had developed lupus and hypothyroidism. I had a strong sense that these conditionals had an environmental link. I had my house tested for EMR and "dirty electricity. The levels of EMR and dirty electricity in my home were extremely high. I lived in an area near many cell towers and my neighbors smart meter was abouy 12 feet from my bedroom. I am one of the lucky ones, as I was able to move back out to the country. I have gained my health back completely. I am active once again and take no pharmaceuticals and live a happy life in a low EMR environment. I am sad for the many others that are suffering from EMR illnesses. It was a very difficult time for me and my family. Barbara Cruickshank Earlysville Va.

EMF pollution has a silent impact on the health and wellness of Americans. Symptoms are often dismissed. We need real science to back up and catch up with what many Americans are actually experiencing. We also need to ensure that any studies or research that does exist is shared openly.

After investigating several school cancer clusters, this non-ionizing radiation crisis must stop! It is a proven carcinogen and the FCC has done nothing after the win with the CHD/EHT on August 13, 2021, of which I was a plaintiff. I lost a son who was near a cell tower on the SDSU San Diego campus and 4 men in the same room/building were diagnosed with brain cancers. I found several documents of illegal emissions with this cell tower, which is still on campus and near students/faculty/staff. To date there have now been over 20 deaths from this cell tower. You add any other form of wireless and it is a disaster waiting to happen. ALL of the school cancer clusters (at least 6) have been contributed to wireless radiation and the deaths of many children. The school districts release epidemiological reports and all investigations stop. They know not to have 'Toxicology Studies and Reports' to be had. Another issue to stop! The FCC is a captured agency via industry and many arms of the ITU (International Technology Union), one included is the ITU-BDT (Technology Development Bureau). The State Departments gets meetings between the ITU-NTIA and the FCC to collaborate. This must also stop. We have the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in this country and my son and many of these other wireless radiation victims deserved the right to their health and safety! Please, make the FCC review the 11.000 paged documents of harm and if they cannot change the standards, another department such as HHS must take this issue on! We can no longer wait since satellites are now upping their transmission powers by 700%. This will not only effect you and your loved ones, but the whole human race. Doctors must also be educated on the symptoms of wireless radiation exposure. My son had many of these symptoms at the time, yet I didn't have a clue about what was causing them. One prominent symptom was loss of memory. I have attached a picture of the cell tower and please notice the dead tree foliage. This has destroyed my life and the lives of my family. ~Virginia Farver~

We all know they harm us. Why does the government allow this? Also we need to be able to take our health care to holistic clinics and hospitals! I have stage 4 colon cancer and have spent my life savings treating it. Now there is nothing left for retirement at age 66. I will now be one of those older people working till I dye! again a corrupt health care and corrupt pharmaceutical corporation!!! I have spent over 60thousand to get well and get rid of my cancer cure me!! I did all the things on line and with a holistic team to put me v=back together. My Medicare take home is about 889.00 a month. Please fix this as well....Thank you Chris Vedder

Wi fi is a huge driver of disease. It has negatively affected my health in multiple ways. There are countless studies freely available on pubmed showing that wireless radiation adversely affects mitochondrial function,increases inflammation, and damages the brain. Corporate greed is the only reason in continues.

I am unable to use my laptop computer on my lap because I end up with abdominal cramping. This seems like a clear indication that something from the computer is impacting me physically. It also fits with the instructions that come with my "laptop" computer, which say, do not use this on your lap! I experience the same issue if I hold my iPhone in my hand for more than 10 minutes or so while searching the internet.

I strongly support a thorough and independent review of human and environmental exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs), radiofrequency (RF) radiation, and wireless radiation. I personally suffer from the radio waves from wireless devices. It is uncomfortable. Our exposure to wireless radiation has increased dramatically with the expansion of cell phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters, antennas, 5G infrastructure, connected appliances, and other wireless technologies. Yet questions remain about the potential effects of continuous, cumulative, and long-term exposure, particularly when people may be exposed twenty-four hours a day in their homes, schools, workplaces, and communities. I believe public health standards should be based not only on whether RF radiation produces heating effects, but should also continue to evaluate research concerning possible biological effects associated with long-term, low-level exposure. This review should consider children, pregnant women, older adults, people who report sensitivity to electromagnetic exposure, and individuals who may receive unusually high cumulative exposure. It should also examine potential effects on animals, birds, insects, pollinators, plants, trees, and other living organisms. Human health cannot be considered entirely separately from the health of the environment in which we live. I encourage the government to support independent research that is free from industry influence; examine cumulative exposure from multiple wireless sources; evaluate whether present exposure standards adequately address modern technologies and long-term exposure; and consider practical ways to reduce unnecessary exposure. Where reasonable alternatives exist, people should also retain the ability to choose lower-exposure options—including wired connections and non-transmitting utility meters—without being penalized for doing so. Wireless technology provides important benefits, but technological convenience should not replace careful scientific evaluation and prudent public-health protections. When scientific uncertainty exists and exposure is widespread, a precautionary approach is appropriate. I respectfully request that this review be comprehensive, transparent, independent, and attentive to both human health and the health of the natural environment. I deliberately made this **firm but scientifically defensible** rather than saying that all EMF or RF exposure is already proven to harm every living cell. That will make your comment harder to dismiss and, in my view, more effective.
