Exposure limits & oversight

At first, 30+ years ago, I almost thought "they" were crazy. I was wrong. "they" are NOT crazy! Some folks are VERY, negatively sensitive to ALL of the above-EMF, 5 or 6 G, RF, Wireless Radiation Exposure. In my Internal Medicine practice, many of my patients have on going accounts as to how different forms of radiation affect them negatively. It is my hope you folks at HHS can help with accountability and help with compliance with regulations to protect the population. Thank you for providing a venue for feedback from we who are being affected! Sncerely, Charles C. Adams, MD

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.

Please ban blinding LED head lights. Very dangerous, I have to cover my eyes. Lights from the car behind me, shinning under the car in front is confusing. The lights are to blue. Many people are blinded by the lights and can't see after the car passes. Give law enforcement tools to ticket cars with blinding head lights Thanks much

I'm Norwegian living in a state where the EMF exposure limits are equal to the USA. I've developed EHS (electrohypersensitivity) and have been working volunteering for regularly measures to the the health risks since 2016. I have experienced economic dismay, adverse health effects and a lower life quality. There are approximately 1 to 2 people committing suicide in norway each year because of thise extremes. there are estimated between 3% -9% experiencing disability because of exposure.

This is my second comment but an important one. Very Important: Please look into laws that would make every smart device that emits a wireless signal to have a button to turn it off, for people who want to opt out. It is increasingly hard to find appliances anymore that do not put out a signal. This should be the case for cars as well. Also, no one should have to pay much extra to opt out of smart meters (from power company), and perhaps it should even be outlawed, being that they put out substantial pulses of energy. The digital ones also put out 'dirty electricity'; people should be able to request analog meters (not just non-emitting). Please don't leave out 'dirty electricity' from your studies, which can come from that, as well as LED light bulbs (cannot even find halogen bulbs in stores anymore), fiberoptic cable, or adapter boxes on things plugged into walls like chargers. There should be standards to reduce 'dirty electricity'. Thank you.

Thank you so much for doing this. I'm concerned about the amount of radiation allowed to come from cell phone towers, especially rural ones. This needs to be reduced; existing science is already clear that cancer rates increase for people living closer to towers. Please look into radars. Recently the radar in Duluth, MN tilted its beam down toward earth to capture lower clouds. They said it would not affect human health but it was based on the units of energy per period of time, disregarding the fact that when the beam goes through, it is very intense energy, which concerns me. As a sidenote, though unrelated, please research MRI contrast! Many people have become very ill from it, including myself, and radiologists tell patients like myself there are no side effects. This must be investigated ASAP. Thank you.

I believe I have experienced detrimental health issues related to EMF/RF wifi and wireless radiation. My ears ring and other issues relating to devices. In the process of reporting concerns and seeking physical health evaluations but would like to know more about what is the reason for these effects and how are being controlled or is there any particular oversight comittee relating to these technological issues. it would be helpful to receive information that I can inturn share with friends and family to help document and relay symptoms and concerns. Identifying the source of these issues will also help with finding out how i prevent future exposures and become familiar with what what possible treatment options are too. I would be willing to share more if you would like more specific details.

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 adult son purchased a condo in North Bergen, NJ. On the day he took possession, we drove down from Canada with his belongings. As the guys unloaded, I cleaned the already-clean kitchen with my non-toxic cleaning supplies. I started to feel dizzy, spaced out, and got a headache, symptoms which persisted through the weekend that we were there. I thought it might be mold, so I ran diffusers with tea tree oil and we ensured vents and ductwork were clean. We returned a couple weeks later, and the same symptoms started up again. On our third visit, when the snow had cleared we ventured out for a walk with our two little dogs. That’s when we noticed the cell tower at the bottom of his street, beside The Home Depot. I was immediately concerned, so we paced it out on the way back to his condo. A quick check online confirmed that the tower was on the borderline for an unsafe distance from our son’s living space. The next time we came to visit, the symptoms again returned… until the guys unloaded and brought up a Qi Home device that we decided our son’s condo needed more than our home did, since we live further from the closest cell towers and I do not have any symptoms (even since removing the device). Within a half hour of the device being placed in my son’s condo, my symptoms resolved and have never returned any time we’ve visited him since then. Thankfully, my son did not have the same sensitivity, but that doesn’t mean his health was not being negatively affected by the cell tower radiation (he did complain of fatigue and brain fog before we gave him the device, but hasn’t complained since). I am glad we had that Qi Home device, which cost several thousand dollars. Most people would not be able to afford that, and should not have to remediate radiation from a cell tower erected too close to their homes. People like me are the canaries in the coal mine, we are sounding the alarm and must be listened to. Cell towers should be better regulated, to ensure safer buffers between them and living spaces, so that people like me don’t feel sick, and everyone long-term doesn’t get sick from constant exposure. Please take our stories seriously and move the towers further away from where people live. Thank you for reading.

EMFs, RF and wireless radiation exposure is increasing at an alarming rate without serious consideration of the science showing evidence how harmful EMFs, RF and wireless radiation exposure is to living beings and the planet. Safety needs to outweigh the growth of this exposure.

Thank you for the opportunity to testify to the horrible effects EMF has on the human body. When I hold my smart phone my hands ache. I can feel the waves pulsing through my body, clear to my feet. It feels like my bones are being stripped of life. I cannot get a good nights sleep. The EMF waves make me so fatigued , they zap all my energy. It is very difficult to live like this day after day. I really noticed a huge difference when 5G rolled out. I wear a EMF protection beanie, jacket, a blanket under me and over me. I also wear a copper bracelet to help decrease the pain. My skin itches, and it feels like bugs crawling all over my body. It never goes away. My eyes are dry, and my vision is getting worse. I just had open heart surgery. I can feel the EMF waves effect my heart and its rhythm. Oh please regulate this for the sake of peoples health. This is an injustice to the people when we have no choice where towers are placed and poles put by our houses and in our yards, and smart meters changed out without our permission on our houses. Other countries don’t allow this because they understand the health effects.
