The commenter reports worsening insomnia and other symptoms after meter installation and relocation, and …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am writing as a patient who is concerned about the damage. All wireless radiation is doing to my own body on a Cellular level. I have experienced chronic insomnia which has worsened in particular after a smart meter installed on my home several years ago and also after we moved, and we have a Cell tower close to us and now or more reliant on Wi-Fi. I have definitely noticed worsening in my condition such as nights without any sleep, agitation, nervous system, disorientation, migraines, and chest palpitations. I’m also writing as a member of the public who is concerned over the well-being of all humans and in particular are most vulnerable, which would be children and the elderly as far as I know there has not been a long-term studies on human health and wireless radiation, which is increasing faster than studies could even keep up with if there were any valid studies that weren’t run by special interest groups. I urge you to rain and cell towers and smart meters at the very least and educate the public about turning off Wi-Fi in the evenings or whenever possible to use a hardwired system.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I urge the FCC to recognize the critical role of federal health agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and to rely on appropriate health and biological expertise when addressing  evidence and concerns about the adverse health and environmental impacts of wireless radiation. This issue matters to me personally because: I live under a water tower/cell tower.  I am in my home 24/7.  I cannot escape the radiation.  Radiation towers do not belong in residential neighborhoods. I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court.

The commenter reports palpitations, anxiety and impaired thinking around towers and Wi-Fi.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
They do affect people. I’ve been affected. I have heart palpitations anxiety when I’m around cell towers, Wi-Fi, etc. Mental thinking declines.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a 74-year-old female in excellent health and suffer from EMF/RF hypersensitivity. It started in Spring of 2023 when I upgraded to an iPhone 14. Upon using it, I experienced tachycardia, multiple arrythmias, light headedness, loss of energy and confusion. I stopped using my cell phone and began extensive research into the cause. With the help of a Building Biologist recommended by SafeTechNC.org, I was able to keep myself safely distanced from the wireless radiation from cell phones, routers, blue tooth devices, computers and cell towers. Meanwhile, I visited two cardiologists; one in Wilmington, NC and one at Duke University Hospital in Durham, NC. Both cardiologists said that my heart is healthy but reacting to outside stimuli. I told them about wireless radiation and my cardiac response to it. They could not confirm wireless radiation as the cause, because they had never heard of such a thing. So today, after countless attempts to build my resilience to wireless radiation, I continue to be sensitive but not hypersensitive. I am grateful for that. Susan Barrus

The commenter reports electrical tinnitus and cognitive symptoms while working near an air-base cell site…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My name is Michael, I worked at March Air Reserve Base for almost 5 years starting in October 2020. From which I have continuously suffered with electromagnetic hypersensitivity(EHS), specifically electrical tinnitus. The previous employee of who's office I took over died of cancer, he worked there a long time. A close office proximity coworker the time I was there died of cancer, he worked there 17 years. Many others having excessive health issues around me, eventually myself only overtime. I was born and raised in rural WY and have experienced the lowest and quietest EMR environments and the highest and most variable man-made ones at MARB. A large problem was the illegal cell tower site that was at a very low height of 25 feet and directly facing my office and parking space 200 feet away. At first, while the pandemic was ending, it wasn't too noticeable. When the base started filling up again and when the adjacent building was finished. The cell tower was operating at a much higher power more often with greater variability. Which was when I started noticing the tinnitus, memory, and cognitive problems. I complained but was dismissed and ridiculed. The workspace RF/MW power density went from 4 mW/m2 daily average to 14 mW/m2 daily average. Which is some of the highest to found besides similar condition around other cell towers. It was only noticeable over a few years of changing conditions. While being well versed in electrical theory, observant and having a lot of expensive meters. No one else would notice this. Lots of us are being adversely affected but can not physically associate any exposure with any health effect or condition because the complexity of exposures and delays of effects.

Sheryl Morley 72sherylmorley@gmail.com I become sensitive to EMF’S 8/2015. I am no longer working. I was using an android phone to learn 2nd language and it was on all the time next to me. I left windows open in the back ground of the phone and I also worked in a Building with windows and a cel tower close my and a router in the office.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
After smart meters from electricity, gas and water have been installed on the side of our house, cables from Frontier put on the power lines too close to the houses and cell towers put up 2 blocks from our house plus 5 G street lights there is literally buzzing on the street and everywhere you go. I had an expert EMF guy come and measure. Everything is at an extremely unhealthy level. Also, weather modification frequencies and Chemtrails continue daily. We are not able to move but where do u go? This all is many causing health issues: * Tinnitus * Heart Palpitations * Flu like symptoms * Body aches * Constant noise makes it hard to relax and puts the neighborhood on edge l, (people fighting) hurting the nervous system. * It causes insomnia and waking up when the buzzing is turned on. * It lowers the immune system greatly and disrupts thoughts. PLEASE DO SOMETHING NOW AND STOP THIS. Thank you

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Since the smart meter implementation project has begun and mini cell antennas were installed on my neighbor, I started having severe tinnitus, and heart palpitations, and fainting. I also noticed that trees near antennas were unhealthy and damaged (photos attached.)

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Since my late 40s, no matter the city I'm located, I can tell the direction of cell towers after the first night. I can hear and feel them. So, for 36-years cell towers and RF signals have been encroaching on my life. Consider me the 'canary in the coal mine'! The government is allowing the populace to not only be subjected to land based debilitation but the entire globe is being "irradiated' by the multitude of satellites in orbit. Humans are not the only lifeforms on the planet exposed to the negative effects of RF radiation!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have lived next to a high voltage transmission line for 12 years. A few years ago a cell phone tower was also placed about a half mile from our house. I have now been diagnosed with leukemia as of 9/18/26. I am the health freak of my family. Always mindful of what goes in and on my body. I have exercised and eaten healthy foods since I was 13 years old. I am now 46. To have leukemia makes no sense if you understood my lifestyle. I have an EMF meter. Inside my home ranges from 11mG to 16mG. The closer you get to the transmission line, the higher the number. It reaches 40mG directly under the line, which is our responsibility to mow and maintain. I measured my oldest son’s home and nowhere in his home does the measurement get above 0.5mG. Where I sleep measures in the range of 9mG to 12mG. They say there isn’t enough research to prove EMF’s cause cancer. I. Am. The. Research.
