Exposure limits & oversight

I have worked my whole life. Staring at age 13. I put myself through college two times. I served as a career firefighter for 7 years. I now work as an RN serving my community. I finally was able to buy my own home as a single woman, for my son and me. This was a monumental for me with a lifetime of effort to make it happen. Two years after moving to a remote location, in a direct effort to move away from cell towers and the physical effects I endured. A company placed one next to my home. No notification was given. I spent 2 years trying to find the source of vibration and noise in my once quiet home. In Aug 2026, they erected a new and larger tower. This allowed me to finally discover the source of disturbances. I can not sleep in my home. I have spent thousands of dollars attempting to shield the microwave radiation. Their rotating antenna is directly pointed at the roof of my home, 300 yards away. I am at a loss for what to do without governmental assistance. I beg you to give us some rights to be able to move away from the RF and cell towers. I have always taken responsibility for my health. I research and choose a healthy lifestyle so I do not become dependent on the governmental system. The exposures I now experience disrupt my sleep and, at times, have completely blocked me from sleeping. I attached 1 page of the letter written to the company. Page 2 would not attach. Thank you for your time.

The Global Indoor Health Network is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing education and awareness of the health effects of mold and other indoor contaminants, including the harmful effects of microwave radiation. The use of EMF and RF devices is growing exponentially. These devices transmit wirelessly using Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) and Radio Frequencies (RF). They are NOT safe and are harmful to adults and children. The toxic nature of electromagnetic fields dangers comprising electrical voltages, radiofrequencies and microwaves is a clearly established fact in the international medical literature, that has accumulated over the last 250 years. Federal regulations protect the public only from the thermal (i.e., heating) risk due to short-term exposure to high intensity, cell tower radiation. The Federal regulations ignore the thousands of studies that find harmful bio-effects from long-term exposure to non-thermal levels of radiation. A good starting point for learning about the scientific literature on this subject is the October 4, 1971, report from Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI), titled "Bibliography of Reported Biological Phenomena (Effects) and Clinics Manifestations Attributed to Microwave and Radiofrequency Radiation" (and also see the 1976 follow-up report that added seven supplements). The report lists numerous health effects caused by radiofrequency (RF) radiation and includes references to more than 2,300 published research papers on the biological responses to radiofrequency and microwave radiation. This tells you there were already more than 2,300 published research papers on this topic prior to 1971. Thousands of additional papers have been published over the past five decades. Barrier Trower, a retired British Secret Service Microwave Weapons specialist, summed it up, saying "By 1971, we knew everything that needed to be known." Another expert in this field, Jerry Flynn, is a retired Canadian Armed Forces captain with specialized training and 22 years of experience in Electronic Warfare and Signals Intelligence. Flynn has worked with U.S. and NATO armies in this specialized capacity. He said: “The U.S. military has known for decades that the RF/microwave frequencies most harmful to man are those within the band 900 MHz to 5 GHz. These frequencies penetrate all organs of the body, thus putting all human organ systems at risk. Smart meters emit these precise frequencies which, when combined with certain pulsed modulation characteristics and power densities, are most harmful to the brain, central nervous system, immune system, and can cause cancers. This is precisely why these frequencies are used in microwave weapons of war.” Dr. Devra Davis states in her book "Disconnect: The Truth About Cell Phone Radiation, What the Industry Is Doing to Hide It, "there is a growing body of evidence surrounding alarming new scientific understandings of cell phones, other commonly used microwave radiating devices, and the new 5G network currently being built-out nationwide. We don't want to believe our new toys to which we are so attached--and which bring in enormous profits--could also cause our demise or that of our children. But science is not about belief. Governments' responsibility to their citizens should not be either." In relation to the harm being done by these devices, it is important to mention Havana Syndrome. As you know, a phenomenon called "Havana Syndrome" has affected many CIA agents, Embassy workers and American citizens. It is believed to be caused by microwave radiation attacks, most likely using cell phones or cell towers which can be used to target high levels of microwave radiation -- aimed at individual people or individual locations. It is believed that government officials were targeting opponents of the smart grid and 5G network with significant increases of microwave radiation. Another good resource is the paper titled "Electromagnetic Fields Disease" by Dr. Carlos Sosa and Dr. Pedro Sierra. This paper provides an overview of the history of this topic, in addition to discussions about pathophysiology, diagnosis, epidemiology and treatment.

I became severely electro sensitive close to 20 years now. It has been completely life altering!! My husband also became sensitive about 10 years ago. We had to close our business & move to a rural area THEN the cell tower came in the area & has been amped up with even more equipment. I was very much into all the latest electronic gadgets right from the beginning. Now I have issues in the house with low magnetic fields & electrical fields. How can one escape any of this without sacrificing actually living! The cost to try to protect ourselves and even our precious pets! They seek out spots in and around the home to feel comfortable in. It's so obvious plus I have purchased multiple meters to test the levels with. The regulations are basically non-existent, favoring the telecom industry. This is not advancement! yes it's all very convenient which is the 'hook' to gain more consumers for their fancy phones. The regulations are completely outdated and the medical field does not even address the affects that this has on the body & mind. We would like to see a complete unbiased, non industry analysis with more input & studies on how we can make this technology harmonize & heal instead of harm all living things!! In order for me to write this comment I can only use a hardwired computer system and we have shielded our home & have to wear special garments to protect the brain & body. It is a dysfunctional impairment meaning, take away this harmful technology & we will feel better. There is nothing wrong with us other than the electro poisoning that we are faced with every single day!! Where can we go, to be free from this when the planet is saturated in unnatural frequencies!! How can one even conduct a proper study when there is essentially not even a control group unless they are put in some kind of frequency free zone to test the differences between no wireless technology & the usual complete assault of frequencies everywhere!! Have we really advanced?? Dr. Olle Johannsen, the environmental health trust website, Keith Cutter & many many more scientists & electronic specialists have provided much information on this very serious situation! Many have no idea why they feel so ill all the time! There is a wide spectrum of adverse symptoms. We were so happy to hear RFK Jr recently address this concern. It clearly affects a developing child's brain in a negative way. It affects EVERYONE. Much like when cigarette smoking became a fad with Doctors saying that it was completely safe! People who didn't smoke had to inhale the toxic fumes & just accept their second hand smoke exposure cancer! Similar situation here, people being forced to the exposure of wifi without a safe space for those who do not want that exposure! Our symptoms range from burning skin, damage to the eyes, headaches/migraines, loss of train of thought, memory decline, irritability, nervousness, lack of sleep, joint & muscle pain...all of which I have experienced on a regular basis! Our quality of life has been diminished!! Please do what is right, study the real science not the bought & paid for industrial science that is based on fraud & money. We so appreciate this request for information by the Department of Health & Human Services!! This should have been offered many years ago because so many people have been suffering or have even resorted to ending their lives due to the negative & extremely harmful affects of EMFs, RF and Wireless Radiation Exposures! here are a few links https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg2bmhtelts https://aches.substack.com/p/emfs-and-hospitals?publication_id=5148018&post_id=215964545 &isFreemail=true&r=x697&triedRedirect=true https://www.youtube.com/@emfremedy thank you for this inquiry!! PLEASE do what is right for everyone!! This is a massive concern! sincerely from my heart to yours LR

I am grandmother of 21 and great grandmother of 9. I see children getting anxious, not sleeping well and not as vibrant and active as they used to be. I also have been affected and no longer put my phone in my bedroom and am noticing that I sleep so much better. Sleep is when our bodies heal. I notice that my grandchildren have chronic illness complaints. Our children need to be protected. Please look at peer review studies which show EMF harms. Let's protect all of us! Please update clear science and guidelines for these devices!

The increase in these frequencies has had life altering effects on my family. My husband has EHS. This has greatly affected our income. He can only work from home and can often be "triggered" by things we haven't thought about. He can't go out like a normal person. Can't go to his childs sporting events, because there seems to be a tower whereever there is an open field. He can't go on a vacation - even if we did have the money. This is like an imprisionment on our family, and the crime, having health that is affected by electromagnetic fields. Now so many people are wearing EMF's...he can't even go near people. The worst thing is that we are seen as "crazy" because people don't want to know how bad EMF's are. There is very little support out there. It would be really good if there was a diagnostic code for this condition. At least it would be recognised by the medical community. While I am speaking about the medical community is one of the things that scares me the most is that hospitals now have high levels of EMF's. There need to be laws around this. Our child had to go to hospital and my husband couldn't even be there because he would get sick. No place is safe. How does he recover? God has his back and we believe he will, but in the meantime it would be good to know about treatment protocols. And, most importantly, there needs to be laws around the levels of frequencies, especially in hospitals and churches. This has had a profound affect on our lives. And, if it was 25 years ago, this condition didn't even exist because there was not the level of radiation that there is today. Please stop this level of EMF's. Stop towers, make sure they are not emiting high amounts of radiation. Because this is a silent killer.

This is a scam. The Secretary of Health and Human Services is a lawyer consultant looking to create specific evidence linking a “health issue” to cases. It’s a fishing expedition designed to give RFK power to win in court. It’s a mockery of what the Sec of HHS should be doing, as RFK has no Medical degree, no public health degree, and no experience in anything relevant for health, but is necessary to run the nation’s healthcare system, child support policy, and social services, just to name a few. RFK should be fired or resign immediately.

When I had mercury amalgam poisoning in October 2020, I became disabled to work as real estate agent because it made me become hypersensitive to the radiations of cellphone, wifi and similar technologies. It made me weak and some parts my body numb. It also caused my left eye to be completely blind. I needed to move and live in a camping tent in a foresty land in order to be away from electronic and electrical radiations. I applied for disability benefit with SSA but unfortunately they do not consider Electrohypersensitivity as a disabling illness. I feel that it is very unfair. Change is needed. Because of my experience, I want mercury amalgam fillings be banned and that the public must be warned and be prevented from the adverse effects on health by the radiations of cellphone, wifi, smart meter, cellphone towers and other similar technology.

Across the nation many residents are concerned about the small cell wireless antennas being deployed in our community. These powerful antennas, part of the next generation of wireless technology (5G), are being placed in close proximity to our homes, schools and other places where we engage in the activities of our daily lives, even though there is no science that assures their safety. This is an undeniable risk. The rapid rollout of the next generation in wireless communications known as “5G." In neighborhoods like ours across America, so-called “small cell” antennas need to be installed close to homes and apartments to facilitate this new technology. The deployment raises serious issues that should concern everyone in our community: safety, security, privacy, property values and health. The FCC’s human exposure guidelines for the radio frequency (RF) microwave radiation used for this technology are decades out of date and the agency has dismissed the results of decade-long research on RF microwave radiation and human health completed last year by the National Toxicology Program that showed “clear evidence of carcinogenicity.” Because the health and safety of our families is at stake, we demand a moratorium on further deployment of 5G until it can be proven safe. NOTE: This is a security and privacy issue. Wireless networks are relatively easy to hack compared to fiber-optic wired networks. Data from your phone and other wireless personal or home devices can be easily captured and marketed. In addition, small cell installations have the capacity to house cameras for facial recognition, as they do in China. What guarantees do we have that the technology will not be abused? This is a safety issue. Local zoning codes are meant to protect our safety, but the wireless industry is fighting those codes. Most existing utility poles (the preferred location for small cell antennas because it’s cheap) were not designed to withstand the hundreds of pounds of additional equipment, and severe weather events could bring down the poles, causing damage to our homes and property. Our local officials should have the right to decide where those new antennas and their equipment are placed. But perhaps most troubling is the news about our health. A recent (2018) peer-reviewed study by the National Toxicology Program of the National Institutes of Health – the most prestigious health research organization in the world – proved that exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation, the kind emitted from all wireless devices and their infrastructure, causes cancer and DNA damage. Not maybe. Their language says there was “clear evidence of carcinogenicity.” We urge you to visit www.AmericansForResponsibleTech.org to learn more about these issues and what you can do to protect your home and family.

**SUBMISSION TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES (HHS)** **Regarding:** Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure **Docket Reference:** Related to Federal Register Notice (Document 2026-19252) **Subject:** Incorporating Non-Thermal Biological Frameworks and the Scientific Legacy of Dr. Robert O. Becker into Modern Regulatory Safety Standards I. Executive Summary As HHS reviews scientific data regarding human exposure to EMFs, RF, and wireless radiation, it must address a fundamental flaw in existing safety paradigms: the reliance on thermal-only thresholds. To establish safety standards protecting public health from chronic wireless environments, HHS should integrate the bioelectromagnetics principles established by Dr. Robert O. Becker (former Chief of Orthopedic Surgery and VA Medical Investigator). Dr. Becker’s pioneering research and historical testimonies—such as his 1977 *60 Minutes* evaluation of the Navy's ELF "Project Seafarer" grid—prove that living organisms are highly sensitive bioelectric systems vulnerable to non-thermal radiation. II. The Flaw of the Thermal-Only Paradigm Current federal exposure limits assume electromagnetic radiation only harms human health if it causes thermal burning or acute heating. Dr. Becker’s work directly refutes this, demonstrating that uncontrolled, non-thermal electrical and magnetic fields interact directly with living tissue at a cellular level. Living cells maintain delicate electrical potentials governing growth, healing, and communication. Ambient, non-thermal radiation acts as an external disruptor to these networks. Evaluating safety based solely on tissue temperature ignores the primary biological mechanisms through which EMFs cause harm. III. The Bioelectric "Double-Edged Sword" Dr. Becker’s warnings were grounded in clinical success using bioelectricity for tissue regeneration. He pioneered using precise, low-voltage currents to stimulate cellular repair and heal complex bone fractures that would not mend on their own. This breakthrough established a "double-edged sword": 1. **The Beneficial Axis:** Controlled, specific electromagnetic frequencies can positively interface with living tissue to accelerate healing and guide growth. 2. **The Hazardous Axis:** Because biological systems are profoundly sensitive to minute electrical signals, exposure to uncontrolled, ambient electromagnetic fields (from consumer electronics, power lines, and wireless infrastructure) can distort internal signals, causing systemic biological dysfunction. IV. Documented Non-Thermal Pathophysiology HHS must re-examine biological impacts through non-thermal data. In his evaluations, Dr. Becker identified clear physiological disruptions that current wireless standards fail to mitigate, including: * **Serum Triglyceride and Cardiovascular Stress:** Human subjects exposed to low-frequency magnetic fields in controlled trials (Pensacola, FL; Clam Lake, WI) experienced considerable, rapid elevation in serum triglycerides within 24 hours—a verified medical indicator of biological stress and elevated risk for cardiovascular events and stroke. * **Stunted Growth and Stress:** Serving on the first ad hoc committee evaluating military ELF data, Dr. Becker highlighted data proving that exposed animals grew at a slower rate and exhibited systemic markers of chronic physiological stress. V. Mitigating Institutional Bias and Funding Suppression A critical component of this RFI must include an audit of how safety data is evaluated. Dr. Becker documented a systemic pattern where independent scientific projects were terminated and stripped of funding the moment they documented positive biological effects from low-frequency radiation. Furthermore, he cautioned against "pre-biased" oversight panels consisting of individuals who have already publicly committed to the safety of infrastructure, making them structurally incapable of objectively evaluating ambient hazards. HHS must rely strictly on independent science insulated from industry influence. VI. Conclusion and Regulatory Recommendations The proliferation of modern wireless networks has subjected the public to unprecedented, chronic ambient radiation. Dr. Becker’s historic conclusion—that he would not want his family to reside within an active ambient antenna system—remains an urgent warning. We request that HHS: 1. **Move Beyond Thermal Limits:** Establish safety thresholds based on cellular and cardiovascular biomarkers. 2. **Account for Cumulative Exposure:** Revise guidelines to reflect chronic, 24-hour exposure to dense wireless environments. 3. **Fund Independent Bioelectromagnetics Research:** Revitalize federal funding for independent studies exploring long-term impacts on endogenous bioelectric networks.

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.
