As a mother of young children, I am apalled that the FCC has not updated its wireless radiation limits since 1996. Moreover, the FCC regulation that forbids municipalities from updating wireless ordinances that include restrictive zones near homes and schools based on health concerns is outrageous. It has severely limited our community's ability to protect families from having small cell facilities installed in front of their homes.
My hope is that the FCC will update its compliance and test procedures to reflect the latest scientific data about adverse effects of cell towers and remove barriers to municipal regulations.
We must study the harmful effects of wireless radiation from cell towers more. As a Realtor I am increasingly hearing buyers that don’t want to live near cell towers, especially the new 5G small cell towers being placed right outside homes in residential areas. They are threatening our health and property values. Please do whatever you can to shine light on the harms and the fact that states like Florida have stripped local authority on the matter to where we cannot control how close they are being put near homes, schools, parks etc. Childen and the elderly are most vulnerable to these harmful frequencies (sources on the EHTrust.org website). We must protect these people. Please reach out if you need anything, I’ve been helping lead this charge on the grassroots level for almost a decade now in Florida.

CA firefighters are legally exempt from having small cells and macro towers built at their stations because of the documented, permanent brain damage it caused.
Here is the link to the medical documents that were submitted to the FCC for public comment regarding the study and SPEC brain scans of these firefighters. The document was too large to include as an attachment, so please copy and paste the link.

Their symptoms and experiences start on page 31. Below is an excerpt from the study.
“Their symptoms included:
Headaches
Extreme fatigue
Cognitive impairment
Anesthesia-like sleep where the men woke up for 911 calls "as if they were drugged.
Inability to sleep
Depression
Anxiety
Unexplained anger
Immune suppression manifesting as frequent colds and flu-like symptoms
Real-life examples of these symptoms are best briefly characterized by:
1) Firefighters got lost on 911 calls in the town they grew up in on several occasions.
2) In one instance, four firefighters sat in the rig in a stupor with the alarm sounding in the background, unable to remember how to start the engine.
3) A medic with 20 years of experience who had never made a mistake forgot basic CPR while resuscitating a coronary victim.
The brain scans of these men revealed two things: Parts of the brain showed reduced blood flow known as hypoperfusion, suggesting compromised function in these particular areas.
Other parts of the brain showed a pervasive hyper-excitability of the neurons, suggesting exposure to RF radiation was causing the neurons to continually fire in these areas without the benefit of rest. When neurons (brain cells) cannot rest, they ultimately die."
If our firemen are exempt from this, our children and families should be too. This equipment does NOT belong at schools nor near homes.
I have been studying the effects of harmful EMFs for the past few years and as a result I have taken precautions to turn my cellphone on airplane mode when not in use, to disable smart connections in my appliances, and to switch my digital meter to an analog one. My sleep score has increased and my vitamin d levels have improved. I have a more regualqted nervous system and my immunity has gone up. I have noticed though that when using my cell phone for a prolonged period of time 15 mins or more I feel a tingling sensation in my hand that radiates up to my arm. This is not carpal tunnel. It’s the effect of electromagnetic radiation. It’s much less noticeable when my phone is set to LTE versus 5g but it’s still there. The fact of the matter is that our bodies are electromagnetic beings and EMFs disrupt our natural biology. It makes your blood stagnant, it impairs circulation, and it prevents the bodies natural ability to send bodily signals and functions. The FCC must be held to the same standard other regulatory bodies are to create safety for humans. We are living in a time of the largest unprecedented experiment on the human body. Our children’s lives depend on it. The rise of data centers and cell
Phone towers are creating infertility in animals, so I can only imagine the impact to humans.
The Military has been astutely aware of the effects of electromagnetic fields of myriad frequencies and intensities on humans for 50 or more years. Attached is a composite of the many studies that have been done over the years. We don't need more studies. We need implementation of the efforts that have been blocked by the Military and 3 letter agencies for too many years, leaving our entire human population subject to the degenerative and mind control effects of such fields. I have been testing and observing the effects for 40 years and the results continue to manifest their damaging effects. Please don't do more studies. Just approve the new exposure standards that were provably correct years ago and blocked from rollout ever since. The Bioinitiative Report is available here since it was too large to attach(https://bioinitiative.org) Thank You.
I am asking the Department of Health and Human Services to seriously consider stronger regulations and precautionary protections regarding electromagnetic fields (EMFs), particularly in and around schools.
I work in a school every day, and I have personally experienced symptoms that I associate with prolonged exposure to EMFs, including migraines and physical sensations that I describe as body/energetic pain. Whether or not the science has fully established the connection between these exposures and individual symptoms, I believe people deserve to have their concerns taken seriously and to have reasonable options to reduce unnecessary exposure.
Schools are especially important because children and school employees can spend many hours a day in these environments. With the increasing presence of Wi-Fi networks, wireless devices, Bluetooth technology, cell towers, and other sources of radiofrequency exposure, I believe we should be asking whether current standards adequately protect people in places where they spend significant portions of their lives.
I am not asking that technology be eliminated. I am asking for a precautionary approach: stronger research, transparent monitoring, reasonable exposure standards, and consideration of lower-exposure options in schools whenever practical.
As an employee who spends the majority of my day in a school building, I want to feel confident that my workplace is as safe as reasonably possible. I hope the Department will consider the concerns of people like me and take meaningful steps toward understanding and addressing potential health impacts of long-term EMF exposure, particularly in schools.
Thank you for considering the experiences and concerns of school employees, students, and families.
They are trying to force e us to get smart meters. Coming to our home and we said no. Tripled our bill because we didn’t get one. We are sick from so many around us headaches dizziness ect. We are concerned over illnesses and fires. I told them it was fraud and they said we don’t what you’re talking about here’s the name and number to install a smart meter. Thank you and appreciate all you do for us patriots!
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 parent, grandparent and concerned member of the public. In the city of Maple Grove, MN there are several 5G towers with toxic warning signs just several feet away from the schools playgrounds. Also, the electric smart meters were installed in the past two to three years with no notice to homeowners. In the past couple of years, I have personally experienced a lot of dizziness, ringing of the ears and nausea and believe it could be related to these smart meters.
Just yesterday, September 23rd, my daughter came home to a notice which was a paper rolled up and placed on the handle of her front door, stating the city shut off her gas because they installed a gas meter on the outside of her house while she was gone at work. The city did not provide any previous notice to my daughter that the meter was being installed. My daughter has three children and had no hot water, heat, or gas for the stove. My daughter called the city right away who stated they needed to get inside her home to complete the work and would send someone out to her home at midnight. My daughter told the city that she has to work in the morning and her children have school so they sent someone out at 10:30 PM. Why is the city not notifying residents they are installing these meters and why are they doing it late at night? My daughter was very confused and concerned about how this was being handled by the city and felt she had no choice. In the past couple weeks, I also contacted the city due to they sent me a letter in the mail stating that my monthly bill would triple in addition to being I charged a $16.78 quarterly fee if I chose to opt out of the water smart meter installation. The city of Maple Grove stated they would have to average out my service bill - so why did they triple my charges when my usage did not change.
The city of Maple Grove previously installed electric smart meters without the consent or knowledge of home owners. There have been several posts on different social media sites from the Maple Grove residents who are very upset about how the city is handling the installation of smart meters with no knowledge or facts provided of what safety risks are involved. I read posts from residents stating the city just showed up on their property to install the meters and not telling the homeowner what they were there for or what they were doing and the residents asked questions the city did not respond. I sent the city of Maple Grove an email asking what the safety risks are from these meters and how many incidents or concerns they have received. The city stated there are no risks and no reported incidents. All responses received from the city were very vague and mostly one word.
I have to wonder if the city is not disclosing safety risks because they don’t know or if they do not want to disclose. When the city stated there have been no incidents I wonder if this is due to residents not being aware that a meter has been installed on their home. Residents could be experiencing health issues and not have any idea the meters could be causing them.
I find it strange that when the city installed “electric” smart meters they did not notify or obtain consent from homeowners or provide an option to “opt out” of the installation. Now, when installing the water smart meters they are requiring residents to set up an appointment for installation by September 2026. The city stated that if anyone “opts out” of the installation of the water smart meter the city will average out their quarterly bill, but instead the city charged me “TRIPLE” my average bill. My average quarterly bill has been between $95 and $110 but when I received my current bill, the city charged me over $350. Is this more fraud in the state of MN? In addition to tripling my current service bill there is the added quarterly fee of $16.78. This is illegal and wrong in so many ways! Please, please help!!!
Most importantly, please help and protect the citizens of this country from the deadly and toxic effects of radio-magnetic frequency found in so many devices (smart meters, cell phones, computers, microwaves, televisions, light bulbs, etc.). The manufacturer's of these products and the people that “push” them need to be held accountable and should be responsible to each person’s safety and health. Please reach out if you need any documents or copies of letters from the city of Maple Grove, MN as I can provide them.
Thank you!
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. My input is as a very concerned member of the public.
I have had the habit of carrying my cell phone in my back pocket for years. My home is bathed in wifi radiation; sources include a router, cell phones, microwave, LED lights, Smart appliances, cell towers (5G and 6G?). As I have researched this topic, I was led to buy an RF meter to simply see if the warnings were real or not. I think it measures uw/m2. What I found was disturbing. My microwave was reading at hundreds of times the lmits that Europe on average have established, even while standing two rooms away! My router was reading several thousands higher, although it dropped substantially 20-30' away.
The most concerning thing is that I believe the FCC has done NOTHING to study the RF effects beyond the actual physical heating effect to tissue. I am deeply concerned about this and ask the FCC to immediately limit our exposure to these radio frequencies. I will add that I am concerned about prostate test results we are monitoring for elevated indications of a problem (cancer?). We have not been sleeping well, suffer headaches (including migraines), muscle weakness and other issues. There is no indication that these are caused by RF exposure. Why? There are no apparent legitimate studies of this possible link in our country.
Please take a primary role to investigate this potential hazard on behalf of your fellow citizens. Make us healthy again! America's average longevity should be the longest in the world given our technical expertise, yes?
Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

Public Comment to the Federal Communications Commission - I am Kim Konte, founder of Non-Toxic Neighborhoods, a national nonprofit working to protect children from environmental harm where they live, learn, and play.
Children are not little adults. Their nervous systems are developing, and they face years of exposure to wireless technology: 4G and 5G networks in their communities, devices in their hands, and Wi‑Fi routers mounted overhead in many classrooms. The country is already planning for 6G, while the FCC continues to rely on radiofrequency exposure limits adopted in 1996.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans. That classification does not prove that classroom Wi‑Fi causes cancer. It does mean the FCC should take unanswered questions seriously, reduce unnecessary exposure to children, and require independent research focused on their health. Children’s clinicians and independent scientists must have a meaningful voice in setting safety policy.
An experimental study reported impaired insulin secretion and increased oxidative stress in the pancreatic cells of rats exposed to Wi‑Fi frequency radiation. It does not establish that Wi‑Fi causes type 2 diabetes in children. It raises a question the FCC should investigate: could long-term exposure affect children’s metabolic health?
At a 2019 Senate hearing, Senator Richard Blumenthal asked wireless industry representatives to identify independent research on the biological effects of 5G. They said they were unaware of such studies. He concluded: “We’re kind of flying blind here, as far as health and safety is concerned.”
The National Toxicology Program’s 2018 animal studies found “some evidence” of cancer in male rats exposed to 2G and 3G cell-phone signals. Those studies did not test 5G or the combination of wireless exposures children experience today. A federal appeals court later found that the FCC had failed to adequately explain its decision to retain its exposure limits, including its response to evidence about children and long-term exposure.
The FCC must answer the court, require independent research focused on children, and stop treating wireless access as the only way to connect a classroom. Schools should use hardwired internet as the default and limit wireless exposure wherever practical. Children’s health must come before the next wireless rollout.
