Occupational exposure

I have been sick from radiation since Wi-Fi first came to my home in 2005. It started slowly the sleepless, then later came the pain that has stayed with me until today. I cannot be with my Wi-Fi on and it's hard for me to live in an apartment. It's also hard to work. But what is most difficult is the lack of acknowledgment from doctors and medical providers. You have to essentially "prove" your illness to people. Imagine feeling horrible constantly and having pork tell you there isn't anything wrong. That you cannot possible be sick from radiation because there is "no research" to prove otherwise. So you hide in EMF support groups and find solace in deserted places. I hope someone reads this who can hear us. There are so many sick

I am electromagnetically sensitive. I bought a monitor to the Swedish standards in the early 80s which I could work on, but when my employer adopted computers in the late 80s there was no shielding. I had to leave. In the early 2000s I wired my house for ethernet cables and used shielded computers, but now there are cell towers encroaching on my house spreading cell signals RIGHT inside my home! I don`t use a cell phone but that does not protect me from everyone else`s cell towers. My daughter is far more electromagnetically sensitive than I am, We do not use a microwave and everything is ethernet or wired but she still got cancer from the cell towers encroaching more and more everywhere, including upon our home. There are no safe places anymore. I have severely disabled friends who have either died or are dying because of there being no safe places anywhere without cell towers where they can get food, water and sanitation. Now they are trying to take our landlines!!! They don`t want to maintain the wires for our phones! But we depend on wired phones! The captured regulators insist that the only harmful effects are thermal, which ignores decades of research and our lived experience. I consider anyone who uses a cell phone to be complicit in the murder of people I know and valued, included activists who were trying to educate the public. Like the tobacco firms before them, the tech firms are casting doubt on the real research, and regulators turn a blind eye to the harms because this industry brings in so much money and is so powerful a lobby. See Dr. Olle Johansson`s work and the Cellular Task Force, see the Bio Initiative Reports (https://bioinitiative.org/), see many other sources. Ask those suffering from the impacts and those who have no safe place to survive because cell towers are everywhere now and who are dying as a result. No one is counting their deaths. Some are now also cut off from all medical care because clinics and hospitals are contaminated with wifi and cell towers and cell phones. These people are marginalized and can not access work or incomes due to employers using wifi and cell phones and with towers on their buildings or across the street, so they have no way to save themselves anymore. EVERYTHING can be done with wired devices and it should be required that people do so. Convenience at the cost of killing off a % of the population that are the canaries is genocide and will eventually take down the rest of the population with them. And now the absolute insanity of tampering with the ionosphere and the earth`s natural electromagnetics could cause an extinction level event, including from satellites beaming destruction from above. Not to speak of blanketing the atmosphere with microwaves and not expecting that to cause fires and increase the warming of the planet -- and doing so from space of all things! The Roman Empire collapsed partly because it was using technologies that were convenient but which it didn`t understand fully -- like lead pipes in aquaducts. We are doing the same thing with electromagnetic radiation. You see convenience but you don`t want to see the poison that may well collapse our society.

I am a 67 year old retired Navy and airline pilot. Throughout my airline career I struggled sleeping in hotel rooms that were near a freeway. My guess is I am sensitive to the vibration. My life suddenly got a lot worse in 2018, the year 5G started coming online. It was getting more and more difficult to sleep in my new home and in hotels for work. Every year over the past 8 years it has only gotten worse. My cellular and WiFi sensitivities present themselves as a low frequency rumble that varies in intensity almost like an idling semi truck. Wearing noise canceling headphones does not eliminate it so I know it is not sound related. My wife or visitors cannot hear what I am sensing. It is at its worse when I lie down at bedtime. I am unable to relax to fall asleep. The signal stimulates my nervous system and my heart. I currently disconnect all devices in the house from cellular and WiFi. I power off my router and sleep in a bed with a canopy of fabric lined with silver and copper that drapes to the floor and rests on a floor mat made of the same material. It is not perfect but so far I seem to be sleeping better. A year ago I started a new job that requires me to work in a large city. This is a city with rough terrain. I assume that is why they have erected cell towers almost everywhere, even in neighborhoods. I had to go through 6 hotels before I could find one I could sleep in. One of the worst sleep experiences I had was a hotel that had a suite. All night I would move the mattress to different parts of the room to try and escape the signal. I basically had zero sleep that night. The next morning I started looking around the hotel for the large cell tower I knew must be nearby. In the front of the hotel on the street was a strange small antenna slightly higher than a light pole. I used AI to try to determine what this new antenna was. It is called a Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS). They seem to be on every other block in many of the neighborhoods in this city. Many are disguised as palm trees or cacti. It is suppose to eliminate dead zones for cell service. I believe it is the same technology used to distribute cell service in large buildings and stadiums. I have started traveling with a mylar tent which helped quite a bit but it is very hot and uncomfortable to sleep in. I finally found a basic old hotel surrounded on two sides by a very large wilderness area with no nearby cell towers and no DAS towers. The company I work for has a preferred hotel but I was not able to sleep there. I went through the process to get a medical HR accommodation so I can stay at this hotel as long as I am willing to pay the difference in cost. It is the only hotel I have found in this city that I can sleep in. Many times over the past 8 years I have felt hopeless and have wondered how I will be able to cope if cell towers are allowed to continue to spread and are allowed to be made more powerful. I cringe when I see an ad promoting 5G internet service into your home. I hope none of my neighbors will use that service but I am sure the pricing from cell companies will make it financially the preferred choice (no more underground lines to upkeep). I recently read that STARLINK received permission to expand their system by 100,000 more satellites. Don’t know if there will be anywhere on earth I will be able to go to escape that. I cannot express how grateful I am to be asked to provide details on how Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure is destroying my quality of life. It raises my hopes that people may finally realize how harmful and toxic to our environment these technologies are. Please feel free to reach out to me if further input or involvement would be helpful.

Question number two: I am a healthcare professional responding as an individual based on my own clinical observations. Question number three: a) All noted forms of exposure except wearables, unless that would include a pacemaker, and occupational equipment. B) The nature of exposure is through common household, business, and individual devices with frequency as per normal daily life. I do question if initial exposure could have been in my workplace of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the hospital I worked due to onset of adverse symptoms specific to that location and time beginning in 1990, that resolved when those restrictions were removed. Future adverse effects were noted with the growth of prevalence in normal society over the decades. Adverse effects multiplied with increased use of cell phones, including non smart flip versions, proximity to cell towers and use of cellular devise with decrease of symptoms noted with ending call and increasing proximity of both from person, personal devices used in home, places of business and worship. All of theses being experienced from late 1990 to present in increasing degrees. There is one other possible exposure that would date back to the 1970’s and continue to present. Even as a young child I noticed an odd sensation when at a particular home that was adjacent to very large power lines. C). Adverse effects noted are hot and cold temperature variations, an off balance feeling of being pushed, feeling of anger or uneasiness for no reason, hearing high pitched noises in one or both ears, feeling of floor or myself vibrating, not feeling like myself, increased blood pressure during these experiences, tingling of hands and arms, especially when holding a cell phone or iPad with increase noted in association of updates to software where as time to tingling decreased from needing approximately thirty minutes or more exposure to approximately immediate or proximity to a cell tower, electric shocks ranging from minor such as is noted when flipping a light switch to taking my breath away and causing me to scream out, brain fog, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, presyncope to degree of fear with driving my children, increased heart rate and respiratory rate, feeling of needing to flee an area but with no noticeable threat, general chaos feeling inside my body, soreness, inability to move arm or neck, menstrual difficulties, and a particular sensation when near electrical devises that are making a humming sound such as an induction stove top, a surge protector, speaker, electrical panel, and on certain locations of a departing airplane. I cannot say this is an exhaustive list. D). As above and noticeable changes have emerged as exposures have grown with attention to wireless devices, increase of use such as in areas that have more or more powerful devices, during nuclear stress testing, after smart meter installation, this spring after fiber installation on my road, and within five minutes of mammogram. E). Medical evaluation was sought specifically for some of the above symptoms beginning approximately 2007. It was continually dismissed until 2017. At my demand of assessment and treatment, heart block was identified progressing to complete heart block within weeks and resulted in placement of pacemaker. This began an ongoing event of more symptoms with greater severity of some, new ones, with alleviation or improvement of some, including two more surgeries resulting in a complete new pacemaker system being placed at eleven months post initial one. More medical evaluation was sought in approximately 2021 in correlation with an episode of whole body vibration, uneasy increasing to anxiousness, tingling of hand while holding phone, and anger noted with use of flip cell phone as never experienced before. My MD questioned specifically if I knew how close to a cell tower I was as these symptoms increased and culminated. I was able to identify that I was parked within feet of a cell tower and that symptoms subsided once I threw the phone away from my body and drove away as to increasing proximity to tower. Since, I have continued to seek medical care for these symptoms with a renewed emphasis since about 2024 where I noticed an increase in virtually all but particularly the onset of drenching night sweats, sleep disturbance, extreme menstrual abnormalities, and fatigue while staying in an air B n B where there was a loud humming noise every morning at the power meter that was coincidentally on the outside of the wall where I slept. Again, this is probably not exhaustive. F) As noted in E above. G) I have no supporting documentation without securing my medical record.

I was working in a small office with a huge electrical board behind me, AND driving a car with blue tooth, AND Router, electric meter, etc. I was about to lose my job, because my brain was not functioning properly, until I figured it all out. I covered the ele3ctric board with foil, stopped using bluetooth, and covered the router and meter, and took iodine. It changed my life. Forever.

“I worked for a telecommunications company for 30 years. I was dismissed after raising concerns that electromagnetic fields from mobile phones and the strong GSM signals in company laptops were causing me health problems, including headaches, confusion, and sleep disruption.”

My thyroid levels are normal for the first time in 20 years since turning off wifi at night and getting an hour of sun everyday. I was told to purchase medicine forever to compensate but I discovered a simple protocol after talking to a few other people with thyroid issues. One of my friends had to get their thyroid removed at 30 yrs old after working in a broadcasting tower and developing thyroid issues. I just figured the thyroid is the most sensitive organ to radiation so I should protect it . Now my lab tests confirm my anecdotal theory.

SCIENCE SHOULD FOLLOW THE SIGNAL We live in an electromagnetic universe. Every day, Earth receives signals from space, including radio waves from distant astronomical objects. We also use satellites, radar, telecommunications, Wi-Fi, and countless other technologies that rely on electromagnetic energy. The answer to questions about electromagnetic fields (EMFs), radiofrequency (RF) radiation, and wireless exposure will not be found in fear, speculation, or political slogans. It will be found in good science. As a healthcare professional, I strongly support HHS conducting a rigorous, independent, evidence-based review. We should examine actual exposure levels, frequencies, power densities, duration, modulation, cumulative exposure, and potential biological effects. We should study long-term exposure, children, occupational risks, and emerging technologies. We should distinguish biological effects from demonstrated health hazards, correlation from causation, and plausible hypotheses from reproducible findings. We should also acknowledge what remains uncertain. Science does not dismiss legitimate questions. It investigates them. Science does not manufacture certainty. It measures, tests, replicates, and challenges. We should not fear the signal. We should understand it. I encourage researchers, physicians, engineers, and members of the public to submit credible evidence and clearly identified research gaps to HHS before the October 21, 2026, deadline. The electromagnetic universe has been here far longer than we have. The least we can do is study it properly. Respectfully, Dr. J. Begalke

I suffer from Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance (IEI) and Multiple Chemicle Sensivity (MCS). I have many symptoms including Hi BP because I believe my 2022 heart attack was triggered by dental work, 5G, X-Rays, Wifi, and A/C unit. I had cancer removed from my lip in 2006 most likely caused by excessive dental x-rays and never getting any work done. I informed the hospital when I had my heart attack, I had Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS), we discussed non metallic stents and my inability to take medications due to severe side effects, they dismissed everything I told them, next thing I know there's a piece of metal in my chest I told them I did NOT want and a prescription for 7 medications, of which 6 gave me the side effects. I printed a folder with information about my condition because none of the doctors, I've explained my condition to since 2015 know anything about my condition. To date not a single doctor has looked at my folder including the doctor that prescribed the stent after a Methylene Blue Hypertension side effect in 2025 who asked me what I tell doctors that say I am crazy, I laughed, pulled out my folder and said, I offer them this folder with pier reviewed studies, Pub-Med articles and testimonial's from people like me, but to date no doctor has looked at it, he refused to look at it too, now that's crazy. My chest hurts all the time, either from the blood thinner medication side-effect, the conductive metal in my chest or a combination of the two and I suffered nerve damage in my back from his recommended stent surgery, I am now disabled. I have to explain the difference between Microwave Hearing and Tinnitus to medical professionals that could care less. I hear multiple pitches I can only describe as children with different whistles blasting them, all at once or just a few at a time, sometimes it stops altogether for a brief second only to start up again with a different pitch and the painful clicks and chirps. I also had the same pain in my chest I had with the heart attack for a period of 20 years at ages 12 through 32 diagnosed as indigestion/gas, this was when 1G cell phones were in use, coincidence? When 5G was rolled out in 2022, 20 years after 1G ended I had the same pain in my chest I found to be the one of four kinds of heart attacks most commonly mis-diagnosed as gas/indigestion. My Osteopathic doctor wants me taking medications I told him I've tried before, he says I should just take anyway, I informed him that's not why I chose an Osteopath. I wrote letters to President Trump in 2016 and RFK Jr before he became United States Secretary of Health and Human Services in 2025 with no replies from either. Instead, I had a heart attack, survived and I'm telling anyone that will listen. In addition, my father died of a blood clot, he was first class radar-man in WWII, he suffered from insomnia and headaches for sure, he passed in 1987, I've seen research that indicates those first radar-men reported radiation sickness side effects, it can damage DNA and be carried on genetically. A Neurologist told me come back when it gets worse, he didn't care I had been living in a van down by the river for the last 7 years to mitigate my symptoms (he refused to look at my folder too). It sucks being the smartest one in the room, and you're in a doctor's office.

Hello, yes, my health has been terribly affected, since SMART METERS, 56 TOWERS, ALL OF IT! I have had to opt out of my homes smart meters, because I was going to die, and almost did die,,due to the horrible affects on my personal health and safety, P;EASE BAN ALL SMART METERS, go back to only the ANALOG METERS, FOR GAS, ELECTRIC AND WATER,,,The water smart meter, was microwaving me,,,and turning my skin red,,,my BP has risen and I have sever anxiety, all thatnks to these MONSTER METERS!~!! i WOULD LOVE TO COME TO CAPITAL HILL AND TESTIFY ABOUT THE PROVELMS AND MY DOCTOR HAS WRITTEN LETTERS, CONCERNING MY HEALTH PROBLEMS, not to mention the fire hazards, sudden increase iin fires, deaths, from house s exploding into fires,,,and killing innocent people children babies and precious animals in facotry farms where they should never be those also need to be banned!~ PLEASE BAN ALL SMART METERS, WIFI ROUTERS THAT ARE ON 5G, ETC, I have had to use an ethernet chord , as I also cannot have wifi or routers,,,in my home,,but when I go to jobs or places with the meters, I become ill again!~
