Power lines, wiring & solar

Wireless radiation standards in the U.S. are outdated and severely deficient. Thousands of independent studies have shown that there are numerous ill effects from RF/EMF, such as oxidative stress, cancer, and neurological disorders. I've been very sensitive to RF/EMF for many years, and unfortunately, levels continue to get worse. I have neurological symptoms from exposures. I've had to make accommodations to my living environment (e.g. special shielding) to try and limit my exposures. I'm currently looking for a new place to live because my exposures from neighbors has gotten so bad (e.g. wireless routers on 24 hours a day, Tesla cars charging all night long, which cause magnetic field levels in my house to double or triple, etc.) Also, the medical community needs to be educated about RF/EMF because most doctors know very little about the subject (a similar situation to the lack of knowledge about nutrition). Thank you for reaching out for feedback.

EMF's ruin my sleep. I turn off my router before I go to bed. I do not like the brain fog either. I have a fireplace in my tv stand that has a heater. I was able to use it until 5 G came on. If I tried to use it, it would blow the circuit, so I had to move the cabinet so I could plug it in to another outlet.

To: US Department of Health and Human Services From: Kathleen Morris, age 83, Pittsboro, NC Dear Sirs, RFK Jr. said that if you believe that you or a member of your family has experienced an adverse health effect that may be associated with radio frequency or electromagnetic field exposure, share your experience. I am such a person. In 1998 I was living in an apartment in Ramsey, NJ, where, due to underground and overhead electrical wiring the magnetic fields were elevated. Magnetic fields are the “magnetic” part of the term “electromagnetic fields.” Magnetic fields are commonly measured in milligauss (mG) or microtesla (𝝁T), using a tool called a gaussmeter. The utility company came in and found that the reading in my apartment was 100 mG in most places. They said this was a healthy level. The real healthy level is and was around 2.0 mG or less. Then I bought my own meters for EMFs and learned to use them. My symptoms included not being able to sleep. I had to sleep in my car. By 4:00 am, when not many people were using electricity, the levels in the apartment dropped to where I could go back to the apartment and fall asleep. But that’s not the final outcome. I got a few hours of sleep but at the end of it my head and brain felt “frozen.” It felt like a rock and that I was not “myself.” Luckily I had a job where my time was flexible and I could “wait it out” until the feeling subsided, which was by about 1:00 pm. I had to abandon my roommate, break my lease, and move to a safe place. I could never move where there are elevated radiofrequency levels in the vicinity of cell towers. I can’t own a Smart Phone. I can’t drive modern cars with all their electricity. I can’t fly on an airplane or ride in an electric train… both of which give me the “frozen” feeling. I found out the hard way that I can’t use electric devices like cars or trolleys. If it got bad enough when traveling I would have to ask for help because I’d have trouble “thinking.” One time I had a wonderful vacation and took a train home that switched from diesel to electric on the way. There went the good feeling from the vacation. My normal recovery time for an incident like that was four days. I have Wi-Fi but it is about 40 feet away from my computer. Ethernet cable would be better. In order to stay “normal” I follow the “degree, distance, duration” rules. DEGREE refers to the power level or strength of the EMF being emitted by a specific source. DISTANCE is your most powerful defense against EMFs because of the physics of how radiation travels. DURATION focuses on the amount of time you are actively exposed to an electromagnetic field. To this day I am paying $15 a month for the right not to have a Smart Meter installed on my house because the new Smart Meters give off high levels of radiofrequency EMFs. A Smart Meter is the meter that measures monthly electricity usage and communicates over the air with the utility company. For my meter the meter reader has to walk up to the meter to read it. It is called an Opt-out meter. Thankfully Duke Energy provides an electric meter with NO EMFs! I doubt whether you will ever prove one way or another if it is genetic or psychological or an indicator of some level of poor health that brings on symptoms from EMFs. Mineral deficiency could play a role. Even too much grief in life could play a role. Reacting to EMFs could even be a survival mechanism because the body is an electrical unit, and it must "notice" as a living unit that it is in a foreign space when EMFs are out of its healthy range. There is also dirty electricity that I keep a watch on. Dirty electricity is considered a part of the study of electromagnetic fields. You can ask Magda Havas about that and how it causes cancer in school children and teachers. I did find one honest doctor. He said that the best he had for me was that I should move to a mountain top! I read every book I could find that was written by scientists and other professionals. I would have gone to the Environmental Health Center, Dallas if I could have afforded it. I have watched big business crush the ideas about EMFs that president Trump is now looking at. They actually “think” that if the EMFs are not heating the body then what could the issue possibly be. Ask the trillion and trillions of cells in the body what they think of that. I'm doing okay now as long as I practice what they call "avoidance, avoidance, avoidance." My next book will be Dr. Eric Berg's new book “Change Your Environments: Redesign Your Life to Reclaim Your Health,” published by MAHA Books on September 15, 2026. Thank you and good luck on your plans to help Make America Great Again. Very sincerely,

I’ve been experimented on since birth. Since 2011 I can hear the buzzing noise everywhere I go. Since I’m investigating the situation I know it’s frequency and I believe it’s coming through the electric grid. It is also patented. I have numerous mental health diagnosis’s and this caused nothing but trouble in my life. I had blockages in my small intestines and what I believe to be nanotechnology. Since I cleared the blockages, my ears and throat are healing.

My name is Samantha Perez. Let me summarize my experience and how I have become Electrical Hyper Sensibility: I had been experiencing a certain sensitivity to mobile phones for years (mainly loud ringing in my ears and tingling in my hands when holding the phone, but nothing worrying), but in January 2023 I started feeling sick (with up to 14 different physical symptoms (cumulative over the weeks). The triggering cause: working for seven months underneath the photovoltaic panels we installed at home in June 2022 (my office is directly underneath them). In March 2023, I contacted the Spanish association for people with Electro hypersensitivity and I went to see a doctor in Barcelona (one of the few specialists in Spain), who diagnosed me with Central Sensitivity for EHS due to overexposure to EMFs (I also had a mobile tower close to my home impacting my bedroom directly). From April 2023 onwards, I took drastic measures regarding everything related to Wi-Fi/internet/electrical systems (switched off the photovoltaic panels, shielded walls, and carefully controlled my environment in terms of exposure to electromagnetic waves and electric and magnetic fields) and full body detoxification and strengthen my immune system. It took me over a year for the symptoms to gradually disappear. The symptoms are entirely functional: when I am exposed to EMFs, they appear; when I am not exposed for a prolonged period, they disappear. At present, I experience symptoms when exposed: fatigue, bloating, the metallic clicking sensation, discomfort in the lymph nodes, swelling behind the knee, loud ringing in my ears. But my life has become more limited, as I have to avoid certain places and specially phone towers. I became for life “allergic to EMF”. I urge a solution at least to avoid more people becoming sick without knowing. New tech can´t play with our health. Thank you.

We are two Scandinavians who suffer greatly from solar panels & inverters, wifi, blue tooth, smart meters, electric vehicles, ev-loading stations, cell phone masts etc. since beginning 2011 & worse after 2018 & extreme after 2022. Hopefully this administration can stop this abuse so we can live normally again. It took a while to understand what was happening but now without a doubt we can see the connections. If we pass a house with solar panels we feel head-ache, nausea, spinning before we even see that the house has the panels. Inverters are not compatible with human health. Electric filters help a bit but we cannot live in a populated area cannot have wifi in the house nor smart meter. Can not walk past a house or neighbourhood with solar panels. Our dog also suffered, got heart issues & died. It is devastating.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of an individual who has been negatively effected by EMFs and RF radiation. In 2011 my home town became a pilot for the installation of Smart Meters by our electricity provider. I was not asked for permission to have this RF radiating device installed on my home. Within a day or so after the Smart Meter was installed, I was startled awake at night by a severe heart arrhythmia. It felt like my heart was going to leap out of my chest. The arrhythmia continued every night from then on. I developed insomnia as well, and both conditions continued whenever I was in my home. Interestingly, when I was away on a vacation (especially camping), I was fine. I sought help from my doctor and a cardiologist, but in their offices my EKG was text-book perfect. (WiFi was not widely used at medical offices at that time.) After a couple of years, I learned that my health problems were caused by the smart meter, especially when its data was downloaded during the night. Because I lived in a neighborhood close to other houses, I was also affected by my neighbors’ meters. In order to regain my health, I had to move to a different home with no close neighbors, and payed substantial fees for a non-transmitting electric meter. Even non-transmitting smart meters produce electrical harmonic frequencies throughout a home’s wiring. People who are electro-sensitive, like me, are negatively affected by these, too. So, I spent additional money to have my home evaluated by a building biologist, who installed electrical filters. I also became sensitized to WiFi and cell phone towers. I still get headaches from prolonged exposure to them. Therefore, I do not use WiFi in my home and keep my distance from cell phones and towers. Having a home that is free from RF radiation has helped me to cope with the omnipresence of these technologies. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

High power lines were brought in by various leaders and ultimately by eminent domain rule. As Marshall Township members (Michigan) were fighting this, Matt Davis (playing on a Marshall Board) told property owners to “take one for the team”. Fast forward and high power lines cut through various properties and run parallel for a section of 15 1/2 Mile road. With varied heart issues, I was blindsided when taking a run on the path I had for over 15 years. I did not realize at first what was happening. I was 3/4 of a mile into my run which normally has me in my groove. Something was wrong. It happened fast and I was in the road, a dead stop on my hands and knees, glad no vehicles were present. I could hardly catch my breath and took a minute feeling paralyzed then forced myself to push through. It took some time and I found my groove again. After mile two, I turned to head back home. All of a sudden, the tight chest and symptoms were back. Puzzled briefly, I quickly put it together. I turned around, ran out of it and resumed normal. It was the high power lines. Running parallel was debilitating and I cut through a farmers field to get home. No more running that path. Thank you for doing this research. We so need better awareness and protection.

Personal statement & Case testimony: Smart meters present a direct hazard to human health. My health was drastically impacted after our utility installed digital smart meters across our block. The day after activation, I experienced severe acute symptoms: * Neurological & Peripheral Distress: I instantly developed cognitive side effects and an aggressive attack on my peripheral nervous system. Within 48 hours, emissions coming from the walls caused such severe disruption that I came close to leg paralysis. * Severe Insomnia: I can no longer sleep in my bedroom. The continuous fields create a sensation like my brain is being 'zapped' and kept awake, resulting in debilitating insomnia. * Whole-House Wiring Radiation: Research and professionals confirmed that the Switch-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) inside these meters injects high-frequency 'dirty electricity' directly onto building power lines. The electrical wiring throughout our house—and electronics plugged into it—now re-radiate harmful fields into living spaces. * Inadequacy of Mitigation: Mitigating this required major changes to living arrangements and expensive filters, which lessen the pollution but cannot eliminate it entirely. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Federal guidelines rely on thermal heating limits (ICNIRP) and wireless RF, failing to regulate conducted voltage noise ("dirty electricity") from internal SMPS in digital meters. Testing shows digital/smart meters generate up to 35 times higher conducted noise on household wiring than legacy analogue meters, turning building wiring into an antenna that induces non-thermal biological stress, neurological disruption, and sleep degradation. Federal agencies must close regulatory loopholes, recognize non-thermal biological thresholds, and enact a complete federal ban on all digital and smart electricity meters, mandating a return to passive electro-mechanical analogue metering. TECHNICAL EVIDENCE: CONDUCTED EMISSIONS 35-Fold Noise Increase: Testing of 23 meter models by EMF Consult AS showed modern smart meters (AMS) produce noise levels of 49 dBµV vs ~18 dBµV in older analogue meters—a 31 dBµV (~35-fold) increase in conducted noise on household wiring. Root Cause (SMPS): Analogue meters contain no power electronics, producing zero conducted pollution. Digital/smart meters use active SMPS that chop AC voltage, bleeding high-energy transients onto power lines. Constructive Interference: Multiple digital/smart meters on the same transformer create constructive interference, compounding noise across neighborhoods. BIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS & SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH VGCCs & Oxidative Stress: Transients alter cellular function below thermal thresholds by opening voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), causing overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress. Piezoelectric Inner Ear Stimulation: The inner ear's tectorial membrane and otoconia convert ultrasonic oscillations into mechanical micro-vibrations, triggering tinnitus, head pressure, and brain hyperexcitability. Stress Biomarkers (Milham & Stetzer 2013): Filtering dirty electricity resulted in significant normalization of urinary dopamine and phenylethylamine levels. Metabolic Disruption (Havas 2006, 2008; Milham 2014): Studies show dirty electricity elevates blood glucose in sensitive individuals ("Type 3 diabetes") and correlates historically with diabetes/obesity epidemics. School Field Trials (Havas & Olstad 2008): Filtering power-line noise by >90% produced significant health improvements in 64% of teachers and improved student focus/behavior. Remission via Analogue Reversion: Court rulings (Oslo Appeal Court, French Linky decision) confirm replacing digital/smart meters with electro-mechanical analogue meters results in rapid symptom remission. CRITICAL REGULATORY GAPS Unregulated 10–150 kHz "Grey Zone": CISPR 32 / EN 55032 standards only measure conducted emissions from 150 kHz to 30 MHz, leaving 10–150 kHz—where SMPS transients concentrate—completely unregulated. Thermal-Only Paradigm: Guidelines fail to account for non-thermal biological signaling or conducted power-line noise. The only biologically safe standard is passive analogue metering. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FEDERAL ACTION Complete Ban on All Smart Digital Meters: Enact a federal ban on all digital/smart electricity meters (including filtered models), mandating a return to electro-mechanical analogue meters. Free Analogue Reinstallation: Require utilities to reinstall traditional analogue meters free of charge upon request. Close 10–150 kHz Loophole: Expand EMC standards to mandate strict limits down to 10 kHz. Adopt Non-Thermal Thresholds: Update exposure standards to protect against VGCC activation, ROS-induced stress, and electro-hypersensitivity.

Re: Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397 — Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure Questions addressed: 2, 3, 8, 9, 11, 16, and 18 I am submitting this comment as a concerned member of the public based on my personal experience and concerns regarding EMF exposure. I began noticing significant fatigue, headaches, anxiety, heart palpitations, and brain fog while working at the computer in my home office. My desktop computer, cell phone, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth printer were all located very close to me. After purchasing a consumer EMF detector, I observed elevated readings near several devices, with the highest readings near my printer. I began unplugging my printer except when needed and unplugging my computer after use. After making these changes, I noticed an improvement in my symptoms. I recognize that my personal experience does not establish causation, but it raised important questions for me about prolonged, real-world exposure to multiple EMF sources. I encourage HHS to study not only individual devices in isolation, but also environments where people are exposed to multiple EMF sources for extended periods. This is particularly important to me because the City of Columbia, Missouri, has proposed the 161-kV Grindstone-to-Perche Creek transmission line, including a potential Vawter School Road corridor. The proposed infrastructure would pass through developed residential areas and near places used by children, including Mill Creek Elementary School and its playground and Cale School. I respectfully ask HHS to include 60-Hz extremely low-frequency (ELF) electric and magnetic fields from high-voltage transmission lines in its EMF research and review, particularly regarding children and long-term exposure. I am especially concerned about the complete EMF environment of a school near high-voltage transmission infrastructure. Modern classrooms may contain Wi-Fi access points, laptops, tablets, Bluetooth devices, wireless printers, cell phones, electrical wiring, lighting, and other electronic equipment. If a school is also near high-voltage transmission lines, children may experience multiple types and frequencies of electromagnetic fields throughout the school day and over many years. I recognize that ELF fields from transmission lines and RF emissions from wireless technology are different and cannot necessarily be combined into a single exposure number. However, children experience these sources together in the real world, and I believe HHS should investigate whether simultaneous, repeated, and long-term exposure to multiple EMF sources and frequencies has health implications. For new high-voltage transmission projects near homes and schools, I ask HHS to consider recommending: * Public disclosure of modeled 60-Hz magnetic-field levels at various distances from proposed transmission lines; * Modeling based on actual conductor configuration and expected average and peak electrical loads, not voltage alone; * Modeling or measurements at nearby homes, schools, classrooms, and playgrounds; * Baseline measurements before new lines are energized and follow-up measurements after construction; and * Additional research on long-term ELF exposure and combined real-world EMF environments, particularly for children. I am not asserting that these exposures cause specific health effects. I am asking HHS to investigate these questions rigorously and provide families, schools, and communities with clear, evidence-based information about long-term and multiple-source EMF exposure.
