Wi-Fi & indoor exposure

I am sensitive to EMF. It started about 10 years ago when DTE Energy, in Michigan, put a smart electric meter on my house. Shortly after every morning I would wake up feeling weak and nauseous. After leaving my house it would go away. Went to my doctor to try to find out what was causing my symptoms. No answers. After about a year of this I had a lightbulb moment! Could it be my meter and WiFi router. My electric company has an opt out program ( wonder why?) so they replaced my meter and phone company moved my router from under my kitchen table to a corner of the basement. Miraculously the very next day I was cured! Every now and then it reoccurs if I’m on the computer too long or if I forget to unplug my Roku box. I’m managing but am afraid of the proliferation of cell towers everywhere. Thanks for listening. Even now years later some people don’t believe me. I say I’m the canary in the coal mine.

I'm convinced that my "tinnitus" is from emf radiation. I never had a problem until I cut my cable and went wi-fi. I also got a 5G phone and they installed a smart meter on my house to measure electricity usage. I have tried various things to get rid of it and nothing has helped. It's not in my ear but is like a buzzing sound in my brain. It has also gotten worse since I bought a new car which, of course, is high tech. I also had my house tested and it is, of course, blanketed in radiation from the cell towers. Even if I had no technology in my house, everywhere is blanketed. I keep my modem off most of the day and have purchased cage-like things to cover my modem and the smart meter on my house. Nothing has helped. I have also gotten a phone that is on 4G, except when my modem is on. barSome times are louder than others. As with many things, I feel this is something that is out of my control and has been thrust upon me. I especially hate that all of the newer cars are high tech.

I am clearly impacted by common household electronics, experiencing brain fog, irritability,and headache onsets after more than 75 minutes in front of a computer, even using shielding devices. We have done our best to have a "dumb" house---no smart appliances, Alexa-type devices, E-readers, Bluetooth speakers, etc., and have our WIFI on a timer to be off all night. I notice a buzzing/edgy/unpleasant energy when walking near electrical towers, so avoid them whenever possible. We are deeply concerned that EMF ratings of cell phones and other common devices are highly inaccurate, clearly meant to disguise real outputs, and that the U.S. government has so completely "accommodated" profiting industries, without appropriate scientific studies and consumer protections. A reversal of such policies cannot come soon enough. Thank you for your interest, and may corrective action be forthcoming.

Subject: Importance of Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Standards for Sensitive Individuals I am writing to express my concern regarding the widespread deployment of advanced electric meters and the need for stronger consideration of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure standards, particularly for individuals who report sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation and electrical pollution. As government agencies and utility providers continue to implement newer metering technologies, it is important to ensure that public health considerations remain a priority. While many consumers may not experience noticeable effects from wireless smart meters, a growing number of individuals report symptoms they associate with electromagnetic exposure, including headaches, sleep disruption, fatigue, anxiety, and other quality-of-life concerns. Regardless of ongoing scientific debate, these citizens deserve reasonable accommodation and the ability to choose alternatives that meet their needs. Many residents are requesting access to analog meters or non-transmitting digital meters that do not continuously communicate through radiofrequency signals. In areas where analog meters are no longer available, utilities should consider technologies that minimize emissions and avoid generating "dirty electricity," which refers to high-frequency voltage transients that some experts and consumers believe may affect sensitive individuals. Several utilities in California and other jurisdictions have implemented opt-out programs that allow customers to choose non-wireless meter options. These programs demonstrate that consumer choice can coexist with modern utility operations. Providing alternatives offers a practical and respectful solution for residents who have health concerns while preserving access to utility services. I respectfully urge policymakers and utility regulators to: Review and strengthen EMF safety standards as scientific research evolves. Recognize the concerns of individuals in all areas who report electromagnetic sensitivity. Require utilities to offer reasonable alternatives, including analog meters where feasible. Encourage the use of metering technologies that do not rely on continuous wireless transmissions. Evaluate and address concerns regarding dirty electricity generated by certain electronic meters and grid technologies. Promote transparency by providing clear information about meter emissions and available customer options. Regarding my own situation, turning off wifi at night and mitigating the effects of the smart meter enhanced the quality of life while enjoying a better sleep. There are certain underlying health conditions like autoimmune diseases and cancer, where having less oxidative stress at night helps the body to heal more efficiently. Although citizens who have environmental sensitivities may benefit the most from higher safeguards everyone especially seniors and babies would also benefit making a healthier America. Public policy should balance technological advancement with consumer choice, health concerns, and individual rights. Allowing residents to select lower-emission metering alternatives is a reasonable accommodation that can improve public confidence and help protect vulnerable populations. Thank you for your consideration of this important issue. I appreciate your commitment to protecting public health.

Yes, I have headaches, tensions, I feel it like a tension waves. In my phone Samsung I have turned usage of 4D, but my new Wi-fi has only 5D unfortunatelly. They stopped to produce 4D. So I turn off the wi-fi and internet in my mobile phone ever I dont need them and when I go to sleep. If they remain switched on -I am up at 3 am and can't sleep more. Also if I am in a car/bus and somebody near me has a call -I geel the negative enrgy and soon starts headache, tension. It is said, when you move -the signal os 28x stronger to provide a stable conection. I feel differently from the moment they put a special big Antenna 500 m from my house. Then few months later I started to feel dizzy and not well in my body. I saw few days later -there are on the same building next 3 antennas... crazy.. and my next experiance is the knowladge and I saw there is a graphen in my blod. Small parts that react with 5D. My friend has naturopatic consulting and does research of blod drop. She told me once there were a couple and he had graphen and she didn't. So she asked them where they liveand they jave answered, that he is in the town, buying products from big supermarkets , till she is living +20km from the main town and they geow vegetables by themselves. Thats all.

I came down with what is now called EMRS (Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome, previously called EMS/ Electromagnetic Sensitivity) in 2012. I had a range of symptoms most of which I never had had before, including heart palpitations, chronic fatigue (constantly tired), nerve damage to my hands including loss of grip strength, brain fog and leaky gut. My tongue and throat sometimes felt swollen and prickly. My scalp and body often felt prickly. I felt restless, sleepless, and anxious. I sought medical help to no avail, whether allopathic or alternative practitioners. Finally, two friends said it sounded like I was electrosensitive. I started reading and studying, learning about the issues related to dirty electricity and RF radiation. What I learned led me to understand that the solar system I had installed in 2010 was partially responsible for my condition as were the cordless phones I was using. I got rid of the cordless phones and went to a land line. I installed a whole house electrical filter on my electric panel as well as some individual dirty electricity filters inside the house to clean the dirty electricity. I installed Ethernet throughout my house to avoid Wi-Fi. I started feeling better but since I lived in Los Angeles, there were cell towers and neighbors Wi-Fi so I ended up creating a Faraday cage around my whole house. My health improved immensely, though it was difficult to go anywhere since the levels of RF radiation almost everywhere are too high for sensitive individuals, and unhealthy for all since the FCC limits are outdated and unsafe. Ongoing, my health has continued to be somewhat problematic including developing thyroid problems which I also attribute to EMF. I continue to have pain in my hands and occasionally other symptoms such as difficulty sleeping. It got too difficult for me in LA. I sold my home in LA and bought a home in the rural mountains, in an area that is currently safe, with no cell towers in my vicinity. My greatest fear is that this safety could easily be threatened by the telecom industry putting a cell tower or small cell up near my home. With the present laws giving too much power to the telecom industry, I would have little or no recourse to do anything about it with the current FCC rules. I would like to see regulations changed so that cell towers would be banned from proximity to schools as well as from residential areas. The FCC exposure limits should have been changed after EHT won a law suit against the FCC: https://ehtrust.org/transcript-of-press-conference-following-eht-federal-court-victory-over-fcc-wireless-radiation-safety-limits/ but nothing has changed. There are plenty of international independent studies that prove that RF exposure is dangerous (https://www.americansforresponsibletech.org/scientific-studies) but again nothing has changed. There should be more education about the truth of the danger, including to the medical professions. The telecom industry should be publicly required to admit the danger of cell phone, Wi-Fi and other wireless technology. Additionally, children need to be protected with regulations if necessary.

House smart meters are bringing wireless radiation into our homes through the electricity. I’m currently having to replace an electric reclining couch with a manual couch because of emf radiation affecting our health. We time off our router at night as well because that was a blocker to sleeping and healing. You can feel the difference in a home when you block these waves. I care for my 92 year old mother who was diagnosed either Alzheimer’s. There is a big difference in her behavior after placing a usb blocker in the outlet closest to where the smart meter is on our home and turning off the electricity to the couch she sits in often. There’s no doubt that the big poles everywhere are emitting radiation that interfere with healthy human function. It definitely needs to be tested.

I got my first cell phone about 20 years ago. I found that if I held it to my ear when using it my ear and the sourrounding area on my head began to ache, it was painful, so I learned to always use it as a speaker phone and keep it at least 6 inches from my head and then I did not have any pain. To this day I still never put the phone up to my ear. About 15 years ago I got a wifi system in my house. I began to have an irregular heart beat. I did some research and found out that the wifi signal could be causing my irregular heart beat so I disconnected it and went back to a wired system and my irregular heart beat stopped. I lived with a solar electrical system for a year where the inverter was near where I slept and found my tinnitus got worse during that time. Once I moved away from there it stopped getting worse. So those are 3 ways that I have noticed that EMF has negatively affected my health.

Studying the health effects of wireless (RF) radiation when so many people have complained that they experience health problems after a smart meter was installed at their home or a wireless antenna went up near their place (let alone against their will) should just be common sense. I as a concerned citizen find it scary that wireless technologies are proliferating rapidly yet the health effects of them are not being addressed by appropriate authorities. My family members all insist on using their cell phones and WiFi devices in close proximity to me, every group home where they house people with disabilities (some of which RF radiation may have caused their disabilities) I have been in has WiFi and does not offer cable/ethernet internet access in the residents’ bedrooms. One group home I looked into even keeps the WiFi router for the entire house in a resident’s bedroom! Please step up to the plate and study the health effects of RF radiation. Then adopt “best practices” rules for the placement of infrastructure that produces RF radiation to balance the need for the public to have access to communications and communication devices with the need to keep our exposure to RF radiation to the minimum levels necessary and to protect people with EMR syndrome. Thank you for your time and attention to this issue.

After moving from an isolated rural location on a lake into a small town in 2000, in short order, I noticed physical symptoms: - incessant ringing of the ears - cardiac rhythm disturbances - insomnia - body itching None of this has ever left to this day. The difference in locations was denser exposure in the town, neighbors' wifi, my own wifi, and no longer enjoyed a clean dial-up web connection. It is as simple as that. This collective of symptoms is certainly mentioned in the literature as related to EMF exposure. Now that I am in a city seniors development, where I am surrounded by even more neighbors, and in eye-shot of two large cell towers, I am never really comfortable with accentuated symptoms. Governments must no longer ignore the accumulated data that puts us all in jeopardy, and especially the young developing brains. Let's clean up our acts of self-destruction.
