Towers & siting

Increased cancer risk to people living around high power voltage lines, and cell towers. Drier skin, rashes, cancer. Big cities experience wave consolidation, where multiple 4/5G up to 71GHz consolidate and create locations where power can be increased many times over. In some cases you can even power a lightbulb over the air, and metal objects may appear magnetized, electro-staticity also increases. Same effects can be seen on IT workers within datacenters. Often just walking by server exhaust they may become electro-static charged, they experience dry skin, and rashes.

3 years ago I remember a tower going next to my house . I thought, all my family, animals bees etc are healthy. Now, we are constantly fighting headaches, insulin issues, stomach aches and swollen glands. We never had any issues and now it's been in abundance. The tower has continued to add to it and it right by a school. Sickening. We are now delling our house and moving for the sake of our children . Our government knows and is failing us as a society.

I am a Board Certified physician in practice for over 43 years. I have personally experienced and have many patients that have experienced detrimental effects with EMF radiation exposure. Headaches, brain fog, agitation, heart palpitations and insomnia are the most common complaints. It is extremely difficult to minimize and impossible to fully shield from the ever increasing amounts and intensities of wireless radiation that we are being exposed to without informed consent. I was threatened with being jailed many years ago by APS when I refused to let them install 4 "smart" meters 5 feet away from where I conduct my medical practice. Just recently, I had to take my newish car to several places at great cost to disable the multiple electronic signals being broadcast within inches of my head. It is becoming an increasingly difficult world to navigate for those of us aware of our EMF sensitivity. Sadly, so many many more are not aware of these signals being a causative or contributing factor to their medical issues. Independent studies must be done and citizens must be informed and given options on saying no to wireless radiation including cell towers, "smart" devices, wifi etc.

Re: ET Docket No. 13-84 — RF Exposure Issues Subject to Remand in Environmental Health Trust v. FCC To the Federal Communications Commission: I submit this comment as a member of the public concerned that the FCC’s current radiofrequency (RF) exposure standards and testing procedures may not fully reflect today’s communications environment. Wireless technology provides enormous benefits. My concern is not opposition to Wi-Fi, cellular networks, satellites, wearables, 5G, 6G, or emerging systems. My concern is that safety testing and regulatory review should evolve as rapidly as the technology itself. The Commission should not presume that RF exposure below existing limits is harmful where causation has not been established. But scientific uncertainty should not automatically be treated as proof of safety. REAL-WORLD AND CUMULATIVE EXPOSURE People may now be exposed simultaneously to phones, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, wearables, computers, connected vehicles, smart-home devices, cellular infrastructure, satellites, and other RF sources. The FCC should examine whether its framework adequately evaluates aggregate and cumulative exposure rather than considering devices mainly in isolation. Testing should reflect foreseeable use, including devices against the body, near the head, worn for long periods, and operating multiple radios simultaneously. Where relevant, it should also consider multiple frequencies, modulation, pulsed transmissions, beamforming, and changing duty cycles. LONG-TERM EXPOSURE AND CHILDREN Modern exposure can occur throughout the day and over decades. The FCC should distinguish short-term exposure from chronic, cumulative, and lifetime exposure. Children deserve specific analysis because they may begin using wireless devices early and experience exposure over much longer portions of their lives. The Commission should clearly explain the scientific basis for concluding that its limits and testing procedures adequately protect children. NON-CANCER EFFECTS The Commission should rigorously evaluate credible evidence concerning possible non-cancer effects, including neurological, cognitive, reproductive, oxidative, and other biological endpoints. Inconsistent findings or methodological limitations should lead to careful analysis, not blanket acceptance or dismissal. The FCC should identify which findings have been replicated, whether credible dose-response relationships exist, how exposure was measured, whether appropriate controls were used, whether confounding factors were addressed, and whether observed biological changes represent actual adverse health outcomes at exposures relevant to FCC limits. ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS Environmental impacts also deserve meaningful investigation. Research should distinguish possible RF effects from tower lighting, collisions, habitat disruption, construction, and other confounding factors. A lack of high-quality independent field studies should be identified as a research gap, not automatically treated as evidence of no effect. PRIVACY, SECURITY, AND MALICIOUS USE As RF-dependent technology becomes ubiquitous, the FCC should also recognize related privacy and cybersecurity risks, either here where relevant to technological developments or through a separate proceeding. RF energy itself does not collect personal information. However, wireless systems can create mechanisms through which devices may be identified, tracked, impersonated, disrupted, or subjected to unauthorized interception. Documented concerns include rogue cellular base stations, rogue Wi-Fi access points, wireless identifiers, Bluetooth vulnerabilities, spoofing, jamming, interference, and techniques capable of distinguishing devices through characteristics of their RF transmissions. As wireless systems expand, regulators should consider unauthorized tracking, location-related metadata, RF fingerprinting, malicious interference, and transparency about what systems transmit, collect, infer, retain, or disclose. REQUESTED ACTION I respectfully ask the FCC to modernize RF compliance testing; evaluate aggregate, long-term, and lifetime exposure; specifically address children; transparently evaluate non-cancer effects; identify replicated and unreplicated findings; support independent environmental and human-exposure research; improve public access to testing methods and assumptions; and establish recurring review of RF standards as technology evolves. The United States can lead in communications technology while also leading in independent research, transparent safety standards, privacy protection, and realistic exposure assessment. Scientific uncertainty should lead to better measurement, better research, and better safeguards—not complacency. Respectfully submitted,

Please stop the proliferation of 5G, Smart Meters, Dirty Electricity, 5G/Cell Towers. Researcher have documented the harm that's being done on the celluar level and found that 5G being transmitted and received by Smart phones/watches, and Wi-Fi. It's urgent that cities and counties have the ability to to properly oversee wireless, telecommunications—while granting sweeping advantages to industry. There are bills being introduced that wants to rewrite federal law to override and basically steamroll local authority by limiting fees. ALSO tightening shot clocks, and removing reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act and the National Historic Preservation Act for modifying cell towers and wireless sites.

They're using 5G cell towers and satellites in space to beam human minds with pulsed microwave radiation, radio frequencies for mass mind control. Along with DARPAs brain computer interface for remote neural monitoring, this is being done be CIA, NSA, DHS to name a few federal agencies involved.

Hi. I am a 64years Old man in Good health with no inner Body damages. When they turn on the 5G towers in the evening i get a high pitched tone inside my head. It's constant! During the nigth they put on microwaves wich makes my head sweat. Only my head! In the morning i feel angry and grumpy. I Get headaches. I feel fatigued. Then the planes comes and sprayes the skies with sulfour dioxide wich poison all living creatures. It lingers in the sky up to a year! Then they turn on the frequencyes! Anxiety and nearvous behaviour. This is warfare! This is wrong! Who gave America promition to do this? DARPA, H.A.A.R.P., WHO, WEF, UN and Nato are all in on it! Why? Using the weather blaming climate change! Manmade climatechange! They can controle storms! And they do! They made the Earthquake in Christchurch NewZealand! This must stop! But greed, Corruption and envy will make it go on! Take out the Rotschilds! Stop the centralbanks! Stop BlackRock! Stop the zionist jews! There is a major problem with Israel! Do the right thing here! Stop them all!

**Title:** Challenging the Consensus: Occupational EMF Exposure and Firefighter Wellness  Challenging widely accepted perspectives is never easy. In the mid-19th century, Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis discovered that childbed fever deaths plummeted from 18% to 1% simply by requiring doctors to wash their hands after autopsies. Yet, the medical community resisted his findings for decades, discrediting him until he died in an asylum. It took generations for Body Substance Isolation (BSI) to become universally accepted.  In 2026, challenging the consensus remains difficult. One critical topic is electromagnetic field (EMF) and radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure and its detrimental health effects on firefighters and the general public. Because of the unique infrastructure of fire stations and the nature of the job, firefighters are chronically exposed to higher levels of EMFs from communication systems, station wiring, and nearby cell towers. Research suggests this long-term exposure may be linked to increased risks of mental health disorders, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.  The historical connection between electrification and health dates back to 1869, when Dr. George Miller Beard documented "Neurasthenia" (weak nerves), noting symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and heart palpitations. Beard observed that it primarily affected the educated classes—who, at the brink of the second industrial revolution, were the only ones with widespread access to electricity. In 1894, Sigmund Freud catalyzed a shift that reclassified these symptoms as psychological "anxiety neurosis," causing the medical community to treat it as an inherent human condition rather than an environmental issue. While Western psychiatry dropped the diagnosis, Asia and Eastern Europe never adopted Freud’s reclassification; neurasthenia remains frequently diagnosed there today as a sign of chronic environmental toxicity. Firefighters frequently experience these exact symptoms, often dismissing them as standard shift-work burnout.  Cancer is the third leading cause of death among firefighters. In 2009, Dr. Samuel Milham, author of *Dirty Electricity*, found that firefighters face elevated risks for various cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, melanoma, and prostate cancer. Notably, respiratory cancers were not disproportionately elevated despite regular exposure to smoke. This discrepancy strongly points to alternative carcinogens, such as chronic EMF exposure from communication devices and station infrastructure.  Current human safety limits fail to protect first responders. There are two distinct categories of safety metrics: one for electronics and one for humans. Electronics standards are based on the principle of interference—recognizing that even a weak wireless signal can disrupt a device. Conversely, human standards set by the FCC and the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) are strictly thermal. They only protect against acute tissue heating. This completely ignores the reality that our bodies operate on complex bioelectrical cell communication, leaving us completely unprotected against non-thermal biological interference.  Change is urgently needed. In 2021, the Washington D.C. Court of Appeals ruled that the FCC's existing RF safety standards were "arbitrary and capricious," mandating the agency to provide scientific justification for its extraordinarily high limits. Years later, the FCC has failed to adequately address this mandate, while telecom infrastructure continues to expand near fire stations, schools, and neighborhoods.  Immediate, practical solutions can be implemented at fire stations to create healthier environments. The most critical area to protect is the common sleeping dorm. Placing cell phones in airplane mode when turning in for the night drastically minimizes cumulative radiation exposure. Moving Wi-Fi routers out of sleeping quarters, removing unnecessary Bluetooth devices, and utilizing distance as a shield are vital first steps. Ultimately, we must operate under the Precautionary Principle: if an action or policy carries a suspected risk of severe harm to human health, protective measures must be enforced even if some cause-and-effect relationships are still being evaluated by the scientific mainstream.

Hello. My name is Nancy Tolsma. 3116 Maui Drive, Mitchell SD. Until April, 2025 , Jay, my husband, and I lived at 800 W. 16th Avenue, Mitchell SD. At 800 W. 16th Avenue, we had a cell tower near our house. In September of 2020 I started having a strange feeling in my right lower arm. My right side of my torso. As the months went by, I became very tired. My legs had the strangest feeling of being strangled when I played down. I felt like there was a hand on the lower left back side of my head all the time. My memory got worse and worse each passing month. I was told I had neuropathy probably, because my feet cramped and tangled so bad. I got tinnitus in my ears, that got louder and louder as months went on. By April of 2021, I was ready to tell my husband I should quit driving because I couldn't remember where I was going when backing out of the driveway or what was the best way to get to my destinations. He is a CPA, so I didn't want to tell him during tax season, as he was already very busy. I went to my Dr. and had him check me, he said everything was good. The reason I was so tired was from cell towers. CELL TOWERS???? WHAT ARE THOSE???? I told my husband after tax season and he said a couple just started coming to our church that had moved from Minneapolis area to Mitchell because of all the cell towers there making the wife extremely sick. When I had blood work done, I said I wanted a panel done for EMF on me. The Dr. told me there was no such panel but said I was hypersensitive to EMF. Both my husband and I had serious health issues from living by the cell tower, that now after a year and a half have majorly gone away. The tinnitus has gone from a 10 to a 1. The feet are so much better and no neuropathy...just EMF damage All the other symptoms have left. The legs are backk to normal. The pressure of the hand on the back of the head is gone. The arm is normal again, as is the stomach tightness. The memory is better, but am taking supplements to help, knowing that was very serious. Please stop all CELL towers from going up. My husband talked to Larry Thomson, who flies to DC all the time to testify about round up and the technology. He told Jay the only reason we have cell towers is to be like China, and track people. It makes no speed difference on people's cell phone service. I don't want to be like China. I had to move in order to be able to live, because of cell towers. I know 2 dozen others who testified to City council on the damages on their lives because of cell towers. Please bring them down. Thank you.

Hello, I am writing the HHS concerning the impact that wireless technology has had on me. I am extremely sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. I am what was referred to 30 years ago as having “microwave sickness”. I stared experiencing symptoms such as; headaches, brain fog, dizziness, and horrible pressure in my head in late 2017. These episodes were so severe that I could no longer work outside the home. I tried to work from home, but I was so sick I could only work for a few hours a day. One day it seemed like everything was magnified. This was the day a smart meter was installed on our house. I spent a couple weeks arguing with the electric cooperative to get it removed. I was charged a removal fee and an additional monthly fee due to someone having to physically read my meter. The symptoms calmed down for a while. I was also mitigating what radiation I could. Then there was more towers and antennas installed within a 3 mile radius of our home. This made it impossible for me to function. I was unable to take care of myself. We then decided we needed to move. We moved to a rural area in Tennessee away from the suburb of Nashville we called home. Since we moved I have regained some of my life. However, it is becoming harder for me to enter cities where there’s more wireless technology. This limits me and my abilities. I’m currently unable to work. I am unable to drive to areas with lots of radiation without someone with me. I am unable to go shopping without someone with me. I have had to change doctors because I can no longer go to the cities where they are located. I have a hard time going to any healthcare provider because of the wireless technology used in their offices. I am unable to get a haircut due to the wireless technology in the salons. I’m unable to go to any type of entertainment; such as dinners out, concerts, plays, movies due to wireless technology. I can’t go to church or attend weddings or funerals because of the wireless technology. We’re no longer able to travel due to wireless technologies in places of lodging. There are so many smart devices that even when we try to do something in nature like hiking, seeing a waterfall, going to the beach, or site seeing, we can’t. Everyone around you has a smart phone, smart watch or wireless earbuds. Wireless technology has hindered me and my ability to thrive in life. Wireless technology has rendered me practically a hermit. We’ve spent thousands of dollars moving, mitigating wireless technology, apply protocols just for me to survive the environment we live in. Wireless technology has had a harmful impact on my health and quality of life.
