Reports increased ear hissing after a nearby tower installation and raises concerns about consent and tow…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
With the new cell tower installed a few months ago, within a mile from home, the hissing noise in both ears has greatly increased. I don’t have WiFi, neither smart meters around home, and use a special radiation protection wallet case for my cell phone. It’s noisy in my ears. Nobody gave consent for those towers around homes, businesses and schools. A high school kid next door had cancer. Her school has a cell tower on the land. Who is going to protect people against the interests of companies?

Requests stronger tower siting and power-density controls and lower classroom wireless exposure. Raises c…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We need more oversight regarding the proliferation of cell phone mast placement, directional accuracy, power density. We shouldn't have cell phone masts that are 300 ft from classroom like we do here at the local highschool. It's not necessary and it the amount of radio frequency radiation saturated the air keeps increasing all the time, so there really is no way to accurately study possible dangers. There is research out there showing harm from this technology, but it is buried by industry funded research. People are wising up to industry and government collusion. We can be so much smarter than we are being with the placement of towers. Adopt standards like other countries in Europe where you aren't allowed to have a tower within 500 meters of a school. Make the providers dial down power density of the cell masts so that areas are not "overpowered". Also, the whole idea that non-ionizing radiation is safe, is totally laughable. Again, there is research, buried under industry funded research, that demonstrates that non-ionizing radiation is not harmless. The people understand that the big telecom companies are getting a free pass, because of lobbying and "cozy" relationships and partnerships with government entities. The Federal Communications Act of 1996 hasn't been updated for safety. We only had 2G then. There was a bogus attempt to modify it in 2021 or 2022, effectively keeping it exactly the same in regards to safety. It's not just cell phone masts that are an issue. Wireless proliferation in classrooms is also out of control and the effects of it are unknown. Placement, power density, and directional accuracy can also come into play with wi-fi routers in the classroom, so the kids aren't in an "overpowered" environment. It's not supernatural that we are having so many neurodegenerative conditions amongst young people that cannot be explained away by saying our diagnostic tech and diagnostic capabilities have improved. Yes they have improved, but that doesn't mean that's the only reason we are seeing more cases of autism, adhd, anxiety issues. I grew up in the 80's and 90's. I knew one kid with anxiety issues. Now a majority of kids struggle with anxiety. I believe a big part of this is due to wireless radiation proliferation and unnatural light spectrum of newer lighting technologies like LEDs and older tech like fluorescent lighting. There's no intelligent reason that we have to live in an "overpowered" environment. Talk to utility engineers and RF engineers...it can be remedied.

A self-described neurologist reports patients attributing headaches and other problems to towers and smar…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a neurologist and I see patients all the time who describe their experiences with EMF's or wireless radiation exposure causing symptoms. They complain of headaches or health problems starting after a cell tower is put in near their home, or after a smart meter is put in, etc. I am extremely concerned about the effects of all of these things on our health. After nearly thirty years of explosive wireless growth, do we actually know what constant, cumulative exposure to all of this is doing to us? Cumulative exposure from dozens of wireless devices needs to be studied instead of only testing one device at a time. RF levels need to be measured in schools. Children are even more sensitive to the effects of these exposures. We should all be able to know what our actual exposure is. As a physician, I think there should be a national system for doctors to report suspected RF-related health effects.

Opposes involuntary RF infrastructure near homes and schools, requests updated government studies, and de…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I oppose the RF infrastructure and its effects being forced on us and our children without our permission. And what about any real, updated studies done by the government who regulate these things being put up disguised as fake trees popping up at neighborhood parks, 100 ft or less from homes, right next to middle schools polluting our natural world’s and bodies frequencies. I witnessed over the last 8 years at our neighborhood park that we have frequented since my 8 yr old wasold a toddler, this poor little baby pine tree suffer and struggle to grow and thrive, at first, it just looked dead and like it wasn’t going to make it at all, after a couple years it seemed someone was really trying to keep it alive for whatever reason and had to give it special attention, it was propped up from falling over dead with a wooden pole, then the ground around it was aerated and fertilized, and maybe they even had to shut down the fake tree next to it so it could heal and survive, I don’t know, but it hasn’t grown much in height or girth, but it isn’t brown and dried and falling over any longer. Although maybe it was just God, because I remember my kids and I praying for that poor dying pine tree, I recall my 5 yr old son crying when I explained to him about “bad energy” of the fake tree and how it could be killing the real trees. It broke my heart and made me proud at the same time, this little 5 year old boy already knew what the idiot adults in control of these such common sense yet so impactful decisions in our country and communities just can’t seem to figure out. When will the pollution in our air, water, food, schools, government end???? You’re killing us and yourself and your children. Wake up. You that hold the power, Do the right thing, be noble and just in all you do, it affects us all for better or for worse. Put people over profits because if you have no more people, you won’t have any profits , and is your profit worth innocent lives and their quality of life?

Reports headaches, insomnia, brain fog, auditory symptoms and palpitations attributed to a buried power l…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Request for Information Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397 Public Experiences and Reported Potential Adverse Health Effects 2. I submit this comment as a concerned citizen with 2 direct years of constant EMF exposure from a buried power line along our foundation emitting excessive EMF (magnetic). In total, I now have 6 years of personal experience related to EMF exposure and health effects. 3. After moving into a newly built condo, my husband and I started to suffer from headaches, dizzy spells, high pitched & popping auditory symptoms, insomnia, brain fog, and other issues such as anxiety, irritability, heart palpitations, etc. After researching our combined symptoms and possible causes, we purchased an EMF meter and eventually identified that there was a high EMF (magnetic field) originating from a 20+ year old power line that was buried at the foot of our foundation and supplying power to the entire neighborhood(s). In addition, Dirty Electricity was also an issue in our new condo. After going before the City Council 4 times and contacting experts in the field and escalating the issue to the power company, the power company agreed to move the powerline away from our foundation. a. Primary issue: Power Conductor Line supplying power to neighborhood(s). Secondary issue: Dirty Electricity b. 24/7 excessive EMF (magnetic) ranging from 12 to 30 mG (and much higher during peak demand months) at the living room floor/exterior wall up to the master bedroom and through the entire depth of the condo. The EMF dissipated to about 1.5 mG in the driveway on the back side of the condo. Exposure started in January of 2020 when we moved in and it dropped significantly on January 28, 2022 when the old power line was turned off and relocated further away from the foundation from its original location. However, the EMF magnetic field consistently hovered around 0.5 to 1.0mG thereafter and we found it necessary to sell our home due to our new "electromagnetic hypersensitivity" resulting from 2 years of constant exposure. c. The adverse health effects we experienced included headaches, insomnia, brain fog, auditory anomalies (ringing, high & low-pitched noises, popping sounds), dizzy spells, memory issues, heart palpitations, anxiety, irritability, electromagnetic hypersensitivity, etc. d. The health effects first appeared shortly after moving into our new condo. We did not understand why we were experiencing these symptoms and did not know about EMF. It was almost a full year of confusion, headaches, dizzy spells, etc., before we started to research what could be causing our health effects and bought a Trifield EMF meter in December of 2020. e. Confidential PHI f. The steps we took to reduce EMF exposure from the power line included moving into the guest room (furthest from the source of the EMF) and, at night, turned off the main power breaker to minimize EMF while we slept. We continued to have symptoms but, at times, seemed less severe than when we were sleeping in the master bedroom (2nd floor above the power line). We avoided the living room, where the EMF was highest. For the EMF exposure from the dirty electricity, we had the electrician remedy by rewiring the bundled neutrals in the electrical panel & boxes (this was the easy fix). g. Exposure logs with readings throughout the house and pictures and videos recorded. Exposure Standards and Risk Assessment 5. Please consider reviewing international exposure standards and building biology guidelines to establish regulatory frameworks to evaluate potential adverse health effects of human exposure to EMF. For example: 2012 BioInitiative Report’s precautionary guidelines and the Building Biology Precautionary Guidelines for Sleeping Areas (SBM-2015). pdf • AC magnetic fields .2 – 1 mG • AC electric fields .3 – 1.5 V/m • Body voltage less than 10 – 100 mV • Radio Frequency radiation less than 10 μW/m² Also refer to: EHS & MCS website: EHS & MCS - Research and Treatment European Group - Electrosensible-Recherche et traitement Also refer to: Building Biology Institute: Healthy Buildings For Sustainable Living - Building Biology Institute and their 25 Building Principles 25 Building Biology Principles - Building Biology Institute n. Please consider establishing guidelines and regulatory standards for proximity of power lines, sub stations, cell towers, etc. Educate the general public about hazards of all types of EMF and what they can do to minimize exposure. With cell phones, require lower SAR and require all cell phone and wireless radiation to post their SAR levels along with possible health effects. For Power Conductors and Sub Stations, establish safe limits and do not allow day cares, nursing homes, homes, or places of business to be built within at least 100 feet (refer to California’s standards on this – that is one thing they did right!). Refer to attachments for full Comment. Thank you.

Alleges covert microchipping and directed-energy harassment through satellite and cell networks, describi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am one of many, many around the world who have been covertly micro-chipped and tortured/harassed 24/7 with directed energy weapons and using most of the time the satellite/cell tower wireless networks.My case is one of a civilian Anomalous Health Incidents, unrecognized by any doctor and proof that cognitive warfare is working. My extended family has two children: Joel, seven years old was pacified with a cell phone while nursing as a result; he suffers from a constellation of syptoms and when we take to doctors, they don't know how to diagnose or treat him. Bresly 12 years old, at her young age is almost blind due her excessive use of wireless screens. We live surrounded by two cell towers within 110 meters the vegetation here keeps dying and birds don't come to next any more. Thank you.

A self-described nurse reports vibration, noise and severe sleep disruption attributed to a nearby cell t…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have worked my whole life. Staring at age 13. I put myself through college two times. I served as a career firefighter for 7 years. I now work as an RN serving my community. I finally was able to buy my own home as a single woman, for my son and me. This was a monumental for me with a lifetime of effort to make it happen. Two years after moving to a remote location, in a direct effort to move away from cell towers and the physical effects I endured. A company placed one next to my home. No notification was given. I spent 2 years trying to find the source of vibration and noise in my once quiet home. In Aug 2026, they erected a new and larger tower. This allowed me to finally discover the source of disturbances. I can not sleep in my home. I have spent thousands of dollars attempting to shield the microwave radiation. Their rotating antenna is directly pointed at the roof of my home, 300 yards away. I am at a loss for what to do without governmental assistance. I beg you to give us some rights to be able to move away from the RF and cell towers. I have always taken responsibility for my health. I research and choose a healthy lifestyle so I do not become dependent on the governmental system. The exposures I now experience disrupt my sleep and, at times, have completely blocked me from sleeping. I attached 1 page of the letter written to the company. Page 2 would not attach. Thank you for your time.
