My family lives in an over 55 mobilehome park. We have a EMF detection meter which found that on either side of us that the meter shows in the orange to red zone for increased unsafe EMF. Our homes are close together, one neighbor likes Netflix so has double the wi-fi which is always on; our other neighbor has a transmitting digital electric meter, which when transmitting alarms the EMF meter. We have our technology hard wired and don't use wi-fi or bluetooth. We are able to turn off the system at night. I get headaches in the kitchen and front room where the EMF meter alarms.
I also worked in a city at a city maintenance yard for 17 yrs. At that facility there we at the time worked for 10 hours, four days a week with transmitting radios, which may have included 20 - 30 two way radios and there was a large antenna on the roof over our heads. A year or so after I worked there I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia with widespread pain, brain fog, and general malaise . Which later became so bad that I had to retire early. Our society is so into our technology and it has been researched that it is not our safe friend at present. But like most addicts it is hard to give up the tech or even try to use it wisely. My husband and I are captive where we live. I think the existing information which there is a lot of should be revealed, and looked at more closely by the HHS. Don't we have enough things out there to maim or kill us? Thank you for accepting my thoughts on EMF.
Ever since I had a concussion 5 years ago, I've been markedly EMF sensitive. Mostly wifi, and sometimes 5G, but also household AC. My cell phone is limited to 4G, and I do not use wifi in my residence 90% of the time, but I am surrounded by it from neighbors. Fatigue, foggy headedness, depressed mood... I am not the only one, it's simply not possible. I have been able to isolate this over the last number of years, when I go camping in the summer and there is only a weak 4G signal, I start to feel better in many ways. I also know that it's not just camping, because the rejuvenation has in some years worn off within -hours- of re-entering a wifi-plastered neighborhood where I live. The idea that "because EMF's don't clearly and obviously affect 51+% of all people, we don't need to do anything about them" is ridiculous. There are well over a thousand studies done within Europe, many of them available in English. In a globalized world, we can't be considered reasonable and responsible leaders if we don't take lessons from other parts of the world. I'm pretty sure science works in Europe too... therefore their findings are valid. Furthermore, I have tried various EMF shielding / dampening / conditioning devices with some having high impact, and others perhaps being too strong / not compatible with me. Another set of datapoints confirming this is a serious issue dramatically lowering the quality of my life, and my ability to serve people in the health & wellness industry, my family, friends, and community.
We need more oversight regarding the proliferation of cell phone mast placement, directional accuracy, power density. We shouldn't have cell phone masts that are 300 ft from classroom like we do here at the local highschool. It's not necessary and it the amount of radio frequency radiation saturated the air keeps increasing all the time, so there really is no way to accurately study possible dangers. There is research out there showing harm from this technology, but it is buried by industry funded research. People are wising up to industry and government collusion. We can be so much smarter than we are being with the placement of towers. Adopt standards like other countries in Europe where you aren't allowed to have a tower within 500 meters of a school. Make the providers dial down power density of the cell masts so that areas are not "overpowered". Also, the whole idea that non-ionizing radiation is safe, is totally laughable. Again, there is research, buried under industry funded research, that demonstrates that non-ionizing radiation is not harmless. The people understand that the big telecom companies are getting a free pass, because of lobbying and "cozy" relationships and partnerships with government entities. The Federal Communications Act of 1996 hasn't been updated for safety. We only had 2G then. There was a bogus attempt to modify it in 2021 or 2022, effectively keeping it exactly the same in regards to safety.
It's not just cell phone masts that are an issue. Wireless proliferation in classrooms is also out of control and the effects of it are unknown. Placement, power density, and directional accuracy can also come into play with wi-fi routers in the classroom, so the kids aren't in an "overpowered" environment. It's not supernatural that we are having so many neurodegenerative conditions amongst young people that cannot be explained away by saying our diagnostic tech and diagnostic capabilities have improved. Yes they have improved, but that doesn't mean that's the only reason we are seeing more cases of autism, adhd, anxiety issues. I grew up in the 80's and 90's. I knew one kid with anxiety issues. Now a majority of kids struggle with anxiety. I believe a big part of this is due to wireless radiation proliferation and unnatural light spectrum of newer lighting technologies like LEDs and older tech like fluorescent lighting. There's no intelligent reason that we have to live in an "overpowered" environment. Talk to utility engineers and RF engineers...it can be remedied.
Public Comment and Policy Recommendations Regarding Aggregate RF, EMF, Conducted Electrical Interference, and Child/School Exposure
Please see the attached document for my full public comment. I am submitting these comments to address the critical public-health implications of prolonged, cumulative, multi-source radiofrequency (RF) and electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure, conducted electrical interference (dirty electricity), electrohypersensitivity (EHS), and lighting/electrical stressors in homes, schools, and communities.
The attached document outlines specific concerns and actionable recommendations regarding:
- Children and Educational Environments: The impacts of dense wireless infrastructure, school-mandated Chromebooks, and classroom lighting/dimmers.
- Real-World Aggregate Exposure: The necessity of measuring cumulative environmental loads beyond isolated laboratory conditions.
- Systemic and Neurological Health: Biological plausibility, mitochondrial health, sleep architecture, and the lived realities of electrohypersensitive individuals.
- Practical Engineering Alternatives: Proximity reduction, wired Ethernet alternatives (USB-to-RJ45 adapters), manual wireless radio deactivation, and transparent parental disclosure in schools.
Thank you for your time, independent research, and consideration of these public health safeguards.
Respectfully submitted,

Docket No.: HHS-OASH-2026-0397
Question Numbers: 3, 18
September 30, 2026
The EMP Victims collective – Victims of Electromagnetic Pollution – has been giving a voice for nearly two years to those who suffer from EMR Syndrome.
We launched an international appeal, “EMR-S (EHS) Is a Humanitarian Emergency,” on February 14, 2024.
Today, our website, www.empvictims.org, brings together:
- More than 4,600 messages from signatories to our Appeal, reporting electromagnetic suffering around the world;
- A series of video testimonials documenting lives shattered by mobile phone masts, mobile phones, Wi-Fi routers, smart meters and other wireless devices communicating through radio frequencies, as well as by electrical and magnetic pollution, and also the indifference, or even denial, surrounding this suffering.
People affected by EMR-S syndrome are environmental sentinels who alert us to the biological effects of EMFs and to the immediate and imperative need for zons free from wireless radiation for those who are most severely affected.
We are also calling for a radical change in standards in order to protect those who are not yet suffering, particularly children and pregnant women, who are among the most vulnerable
Our Appeal has been received by institutional officials who refuse to take into account the health and environmental consequences of the exponential increase in levels of artificial EMFs.
We support Robert F. Kennedy Jr., U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, in the hope that the toxicity of electromagnetic radiation will finally be recognized and that each state will take the necessary measures to protect its population.
(Attached are the appeal, the 4,653 messages submitted by signatories as of 30 September 2026, and the European Commission’s response.)
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 submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. In a previous office suite where "acceptable" levels of mold were detected, I experienced adverse reactions following the building-wide installation of 5G. The testing professional stated the 5G can exacerbate sensitivities to mold even at "acceptable levels." In my current office suite, "acceptable levels" of mold were detected. The building had 5G existing when I moved in. I have continuing adverse reactions daily.
Radiation level is extremely unhealthy you need to go back to wiring things Wi-Fi is really affecting my health in a very negative way and I need to get off this phone it's affecting my brain neurologically it's affecting my speech and my memory and causing extreme nerve discomfort and hyper arousal causing a lack of sleep. Also it makes it hard to even walk if I'm on it a long time it affects my lower spine and in the library my whole right leg can go all numb at times.
I'm going to take AT&t to court because they recently took my non-internet landline away and it's significantly negatively impacting my health this is wrong and this is profit over people and you need to start paying attention it isn't just social media harming people it's the radiation.
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 healthcare professional, researcher. I have had over the last 30 years about 10 high level cases that required significant lifestyle changes. The most extreme are currently living offgrid with minimum electricity and it must be DC. Those that chose to stay in their homes restrict use of electricity with no wireless technologies. Over 90% of my patients showed some toxic response to EMF especially wireless. Most eliminated wifi and minimize cell use to emergencies. Symtoms included headaches, panic attacks, weight gain, metobolic syndrome into type 2 diabetes, muscular aches, weakened immune system, lowering of job performance and skin conditions such as moles and skin tabs.
Having grown up in the 60's and 70's we saw the pollution, air and water, littering. Now the biggest pollution is the EMF Cloud! These invisible toxins are major contributors to the current mental wellfare crisis in this country as well as their continued inflamation leading to cancer and heart disease.
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

I was poisoned by the misuse of organophosphate pesticides as a child and have had lifelong complications including many chemical and environmental sensitivities that eventually resulted in a stroke in 2022. At that time, I was put through two MRI brain scans without contrast, CT scans with contrast, EKGs, and doppler heart tests in a small span of time. After all the testing was completed, I developed severe electromagnetic sensitivities. I cannot be around cell phones, cell towers, wi-fi, or even hard-wired computers for any length of time. My life has become even more precarious and isolated than ever before. I cannot safely leave my home for any length of time due to the ubiquitousness of chemicals, cell phones, cell towers, smart meters, wi-fi, and various wireless security devices. I cannot work; I have not been able to get disability, as environmental sensitivities are not generally accepted in the medical or Social Security arena; I do not have a regular doctor because those that are chemical, wi-fi, wireless device free, and recognize environmental sensitivities are out of my price range and do not accept my Medicaid insurance which I stand to lose in a few months because I cannot fulfill any work requirements, and as I said above, I cannot obtain SSI or SSDI. My only support system was my parents who recently died, I am in serious debt and facing a potential lawsuit, have a few months of money left if the debt collectors do not seize it first, and am facing homelessness and a very uncertain future. I would not wish environmental or electromagnetic sensitivities on my worst enemy. Things stand to get worse for all of us as the proliferation of wireless continues unabated worldwide - even nature and camping sites are no longer safe as wi-fi and cell towers have been put in these areas as well. How does one live in this ever-increasing toxic world? I am not sure I will be able to for much longer.
