Towers & siting

Local communities must have control over their environment and hopefully one day soon reject the technology. It is an overreach of the federal government to control and direct this invasion of American communities. My cancer diagnosis in Jan 2020 can easily be attributed to direct beams from a "repeater" in the public area behind my home office.

Thank you SO MUCH for opening this discussion! I have been telling people for decades that EMF / RF is like cigarette smoking -- smoking was everywhere, doctors endorsed it -- and then one lawsuit showed how much companies knew about the health problems, and it was gone. Time is valuable, so I will give a super quick overview of my personal experience with the problems with EMF / RF -- 1. When my son was a baby, he screamed whenever we drove past a cell tower. 2. When driving on the highway, I'll get a head ache, og over a hill, see the cell tower, think, "Oh, that is why my head hurts!", it will hurt until a hill is between me and it; until the next headache and the next cell tower revealed minutes later 3. I had to stop flying, after wifi on planes came, as I was getting nosebleeds 4. My horses take people cell phones out of their pockets and flip them into mud. 5. I wondered why I was getting pneumonia after concerts and similar large gatherings; it was being around so many people in such a small space, with their cell, wifi and bluetooth antennas all blazing away 6. The keyless entry cars give me a head ache. 7. Everyone who has taken my advice, to turn wifi and cell phones off at night, has noticeably benefited 8. I sleep better after making sure that there are no live electric wires running in the wall behind my head 9. Tinnitus inside the house (with really high dirty electricity), but not outside, or when the power is off. 10. The bald eagles on my land have not been able to raise chicks in the nest that gets the full force of the cell tower; plus the high RF areas have killed my trees, including the tree with the bald eagle nest. 12. My children became unhappy and difficult when we moved to a high EMF/ RF area 13. Visitors to my hard-wired, no wifi house sleep better than elsewhere, in spite of the dirty electricity

I would like to know why cell phone towers are being installed in densely populated neighborhoods without consent. One was installed right next to my home with zero regard for our health.

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 for the future health of myself and my children. Ever since 5G wireless radiation has become the norm, I have experienced tinnitus and headaches. I live within a mile of a cell tower and I have become very sensitive in my hands all the way up to my elbows when holding a cell phone. I believe that HHS should be investigating the short and long term effects of EMF’s, RF radiation and Wireless Radiation exposure. 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.

Digital meters, 5G, and strong electric lines affect me in various ways! The meter on our house cause severe sleep deprivation and I feel a constant vibration inside my body. Some days/times it's much worse than others, but always constant! I can see a 5G tower from my home, only a few blocks away. Vibrations for stronger after it was installed. Wi-Fi contributes. I also feel a pressure and can get headaches when close to strong power lines. I have also experienced tooth pain and jaw pain from the same and possibly from some other strong electric/EMF fields/devices... As I have have experienced those symptoms without being able to identify what could be causing it...Alway while driving. But after getting some distance away, the symptoms disappear.

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 a concerned citizen and health researcher/coach. As a homeowner in Carlsbad...I was subjected to increased radiation exposure from from the installations that took place at Calaveras park during 2020-2021 with not public notice or input. My professional EMF meter confirmed that what was coming in through my window as excessive and greatly effecting my nervous system. This disruption in my sleep was profound and caused many issues for me...disturbing my daily work like....such as brain fog, irritability and flu like symptoms that have been proven to be associated with EMF exposure.

Wireless radiation and it's effects is something that has been on my mind since the introduction of 5G. As a parent and concerned citizen, I do not believe enough research was conducted before the US changed to 5G towers. It seems to me that since that happened, there has been more and more people affected by cancer today than in any other time in history. I would really like to see more research done in this field. This is why I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation.

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 a working Mother. Wireless radiation has affected my family when chosing daycare and schooling options for my children. ou, your child, your family, or someone you care about. The affordable daycare and public school by me are sandwiched between a new 5G tower. Long term exposure and health effects were a stong concern for developing brains. As a result my family now has to pay more for a different daycare a school that does not have towers next to them. I support people affected by wireless radiation including parents who do not get a say before a tower is installed at or near a school. I believe HHS should address this issue because all parents should have a say regarding the exposure to their children in schools and daycares.

I have tinnitus that started the same month that 5G cell towers went up in our area in 2021. I have lived with this ringing ever since. Mold also started growing in our home since the towers went up. I have lived here over 15 years and have never had a mold problem. Since 2021, areas of mold growth have shown up and in 2022 I was diagnosed with a mold illness, which caused multiple symptoms and a trip to the ER. Please study the safety of these towers and remove them from residential and school areas. This radiation should not be raining down on where people live and where children sit at school. Thank you.

As a retired lawyer and energy practitioner, I vehemently oppose the concept of having EMFs, RF and Wireless transmission every where we turn. The human body is unable to handle the impact of being continually bombarded with electromagnetic frequencies that are not in sync with our physiology. To have towers installed near homes and businesses, especially schools, is playing havoc on our bodies. I have seen and read the studies that demonstrate the impact these frequencies have on the brain, especially upon children. It is devastating to health. I have purchased lead covers for our phones to try to help protect us from EMFs continually emitted from them. I have argued with power companies not to install smart meters on my homes and do not use any of the smart electronics for appliances. The impact on human health is so profound, that when there is an opportunity to reduce the impact on humans, every avenue should be taken to protect our health. Our country is already staggering from the impact of all the pharmaceuticals that are being ingested, so please take action to help sustain our civilization in a mindful way.
