Research & federal duties

It's a well documented scientific fact that wireless radiation of all kinds is dangerous for a myriad of reasons and hasn't been held to the scrutiny it should, considering it's impact on all adults and especially children with growing brains and bodies. There hasn't been adequate safety testing or accountability by those who push it's unlimited use. This is unbelievable in 2026, since it's dangers have been well known for years, falling on mainly deaf ears. .

LED lights, including LED headlights, impact my life when I’m driving at night in my older vehicle that does not have LED headlights, I get blinded. These headlights are extremely bright and disruptive to wildlife and their circadian rhythms. The Food and Drug Administration must comply with 21 U.S.C. 360ii to test and evaluate LED headlights for biological safety not only for humans but for wildlife as well.

I am deeply concerned about the potential long-term health effects of chronic RF radiation exposure from wireless infrastructure placed close to homes and schools. In summer 2025, a Verizon cellular antenna was installed directly outside my home without my consent. My family, including my children, now lives in close proximity to this equipment, and I have personally noticed feeling physically different when the antenna appears to be operating, although I cannot establish causation. I urge HHS to prioritize independent, long-term research on cumulative RF exposure, particularly in children, and to require greater transparency, monitoring, and public notification when this infrastructure is placed near homes and schools.

I am a member of the public concerned with the unaddressed potential health and environmental risks of radiofrequency (RF) radiation from wireless infrastructure and devices. I have been reactive to wireless radiation and I urge you to review the scientific evidence in full. Accordingly, I strongly urge the Commission to, under the weight of the scientific evidence, find that the current RF exposure limits are insufficient to protect public health and the environment. They should be lowered to reflect the science previously disregarded by the Commission.

I am submitting this comment as an individual member of the public because I have personal concerns and experiences involving electromagnetic fields (EMF), radiofrequency (RF) radiation, wireless technology, and possible effects on health. For around five years, I have considered myself a so-called “targeted individual.” I believe I have been subjected to electromagnetic exposure that I associate with what I perceive as targeting, including exposure I believe may come from 5G infrastructure and satellites. I understand that I cannot independently prove the source of these exposures or establish that they are deliberately directed at me. I am asking HHS to investigate concerns like mine seriously rather than simply dismissing them. During this period I have experienced symptoms including skin rashes, dizziness, memory problems, difficulty sleeping, and problems with concentration. These experiences have affected my daily life. I have sought medical help and diagnosis, but I felt that the healthcare professionals I encountered were not sufficiently informed about possible electromagnetic exposure. I felt that some of the approaches taken did not address the concerns I was trying to explain. I have also used an RF meter in my home. I observed what appeared to me to be significant RF readings even when I was not aware of a nearby 5G tower and mainly knew of Wi-Fi or other wireless equipment in the area. I understand that a consumer RF meter reading alone cannot identify the exact source of a signal, determine whether an exposure is harmful, or prove that exposure caused a symptom. However, these observations made me concerned about how much wireless radiation people may actually encounter in their homes and local communities. I believe there needs to be more independent research into long-term and cumulative exposure to RF and EMF. Research should look at real-world exposure, including 5G, future 6G systems, Wi-Fi, satellites, smart meters, wireless medical devices, wearable technology, Internet of Things devices, smart homes, and other sources people encounter every day. I would like HHS and other relevant agencies to examine whether current exposure standards adequately reflect long-term, repeated, and combined exposure from many wireless sources. Exposure should also be measured in a consistent and transparent way so people can better understand what they are being exposed to in homes, workplaces, schools, and communities. I believe healthcare professionals should have access to balanced information about electromagnetic exposure. This information should clearly distinguish what is established, what remains uncertain, and how people reporting symptoms can be properly evaluated without automatically assuming that EMF exposure is either the cause or not the cause. I am also concerned about privacy and the possibility of unwanted surveillance or monitoring. I have concerns that government agencies or other organizations could potentially use technology in ways that people do not understand or consent to. I recognize that concerns about government surveillance are not the same as verified evidence that surveillance is occurring. I believe these issues should still be subject to appropriate legal safeguards, oversight, transparency, and independent investigation. I do not believe people who live peacefully and have committed no crime should be subjected to secret technological monitoring or interference. Government use of advanced technologies should have clear legal authority, meaningful oversight, accountability, and protections for individual privacy and civil rights. I also believe we should consider whether every new wireless technology is necessary and whether wired alternatives can be used where practical. People should have meaningful choices about how much wireless technology they use in their homes and workplaces. My concerns are not only about children. I believe the entire population deserves clear information about environmental exposure to RF and EMF. Research should also examine whether different groups may experience different levels of exposure or sensitivity. I would also like more research into possible environmental effects, including effects on wildlife and ecosystems, as wireless infrastructure continues to expand. Most importantly, I am asking for independent, transparent, long-term research. I am not asking HHS to accept my personal interpretation as established scientific fact. I am asking for my experience, and the experiences of other people reporting similar concerns, to be treated as information that can be investigated properly. The public deserves clear information about electromagnetic exposure, better ways to measure it, honest communication about uncertainty, stronger privacy protections, and research that is independent from commercial or other conflicts of interest. Thank you for providing members of the public with an opportunity to comment on this issue.

I've been targeted with electromagnetic weapons since July 2007 in apparently a modern MKUltra program. At the first approach it felt like pressure on the skin at the right side of my head, curiously the side that faced the street and a hotel in front of the apartment I lived on. I had to avoid the rooms that faced the street otherwise and it worked for the first month or so. Then eventually it started from the apartment above and the pain on my head was extreme. I went to sleep in pain and shortly after waking up they resumed the targeting. No one helped me because no one believed me. When using heavy shielding like thick metal they increased the power and I felt very dizzy, I had to use gel packs and anything that could provide some shielding back then, then eventually used velostat + magnets that helped block it somewhat. But it didn't stop, and it wasn't just electromagnetic radiation: I've experienced almost 20 years of an absolute nightmare, and also found out I'm not alone in this, i've found many other REAL targets online, most from the US. However for now I just want to address that targeting, experimentation and torture with electromagnetic weapons is active and happening in the US and other countries. Please don't dismiss the US targets claims as paranoid hallucinations or delusions from schizophrenics, we need a serious investigation from competent authorities from the US, because seems like no one else is even interested on investigating the harmful effects of non-ionizing radiation. Thank you for your time.

I wholeheartedly urge the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to take meaningful action to reduce public exposure to wireless electromagnetic fields (EMFs) as much as possible. Wireless infrastructure has gotten out of control. People often have little to no practical control over continual exposure to wireless emissions when cellular towers, small cells, and other transmitting equipment are installed near their homes, workplaces, schools, and public spaces. Residents should not be expected to simply accept involuntary, around-the-clock exposure without meaningful transparency, independent health review, or practical options. In my view, wireless radiation levels and the density of wireless infrastructure have become seriously too high. The government has a responsibility to apply the precautionary principle, support truly independent research on long-term and cumulative exposure, improve public disclosure and measurement requirements, and establish stronger protections for homes, schools, hospitals, and other sensitive locations. HHS and other federal agencies should also strongly encourage wired connectivity wherever it is practical. Fiber, Ethernet, and other wired systems can provide fast, reliable communications while reducing unnecessary wireless exposure. Federal policy, grants, building standards, and public-infrastructure programs should prioritize wired connections over defaulting to more wireless transmitters. Please treat reducing unnecessary wireless EMF exposure as a public-health and consumer-protection priority.

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 a senior citizen who is relatively informed about about these matters, but from the perspective of a concerned member of this world without a background in this field. Although I believe I have been adversely affected by these technologies, predominantly with chronic insomnia and a general feeling of malaise, I think my symptoms pale in comparison to many others. I have attended informational meetings and listened to people who were experiencing far more severe symptoms. One person had to move out of his apartment, struggled to find a suitable and affordable rental, and was staying with friends and family, which did not bring him relief. Parents were concerned for their children. My biggest concern is for the children, wildlife, and all sentient beings. These technologies are adversely impacting all creatures. Plus, the equipment and towers are an eyesore. The FCC doesn't seem to care and neither do most of our elected representatives. If they cared, they would take action and ameliorate the situation. 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.

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 patient. I have personally been affected by wireless radiation. I get extremely nauseated, itchy and buzzy all over my skin when using my iPhone or iPad connected to Wi-Fi.. I have had to disable 5G on all my devices to be able to touch them even for a short time. I get very anxious when near 5g towers or around large groups of people using phones like in a coffee shop or at my place of worship. I can not use any smart watches or even Bluetooth watch for tracking my steps. I was burned on my wrist from the red light against my skin on the Apple Watch and stop wearing it, as it didn’t matter which wrist i wear on I get burnt and buzzy feeling. I have to keep wireless router off at home as long as possible unless we need to print from our wireless printer.. We bought a house purposely with zero smart features as I am so sensitive. 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.

I am writing today regarding your request for information of EMF's, RF Radiation and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I write as an individual impacted. On June 8, 2023 I was awakened in the middle of the night by a loud lawnmower-sounding noise, louder from right the side of my bedroom. I have lived here now 25 years (22 when this event occurred). I actually called the police (never having done so in my life) , even tho I imagined the dispatcher making circles with her index finger near her temple (get a load of this complaint....) Over the next week or two I invited neighbors in and inquired if they heard the sound and one actually did. Being woken up constantly, I began to call the electirc company and on numerous occasions they came out in the middle of the night- I had them come into the house and listen- although they were nice (and believed me) they could do nothing but refer me to engineering. BTW, a few of them said they could not hear the loud buzzing or ringing as they had tinnitus. Working around strong power lines I now understand how that happens. But back to my situation- I learned quickly that my next door neighbor had installed solar panels on my side of their roof and the panels 'went live' at about the same time I was impacted ('struck'.) Eversource (the power company) came again, this time realizing there was an issue they needed to handle. In the meantime I was staying at friends' homes or in hotels intermittently as I could not sleep. Eversource recognized the problem I was experiencing (they called it harmonics) 'perhaps' caused by the inverter on my neighbor's panels (sending energy back to the electric company) I requested (and partially paid for) the solar company to check on the issue. This 'evaluation' by the solar company consisted of a cell phone computer check. As mentioned, Eversource realized there was an issue because I went to great lengths to get fixed what I initially thought was a fairly simple problem. I couldn't have been more wrong. The power company (and the town) sent 6-8 employees (including managerial) who spent two days evaluating and eventually rewiring 8 houses (house to pole) in addition to replacing a transformer. All this took months and in the final analysis I now have a chronic condition - constant tinnitus and had to get hearing aids and some medication as the 'solution'. The issue (tinnitus) is now within me, tho when I am out in nature ( at the beach, in the woods or mountains) the ringing is negligible or in the background. Not so at home where I often like it quiet. This is a serious issue. I sincerely hope all of our exposure to this damaging radiation is studied in the proper fashion. It has harmed me irreparably and I do not want this to go unnoticed.
