Still wondering whether your Smart Meter is safe or not? Maybe you’re
thinking all the fuss certain people are making about smart meter
radiation is based on misinformation and emotionally-charged beliefs,
and that their symptoms are all in their heads.
Well, there have been heated emotional arguments on
both sides of this issue, many based on too little information. What we can’t argue with, however, is science—
independent scientific research and reports—and there is much available to us now, telling us about the dangers of Smart Meters.
Sage Associates Report on Smart Meter Radiation
For example, take the
report
an independent research team, Sage Associates, recently published,
entitled “Assessment of Radiofrequency Microwave Radiation Emissions
from Smart Meters”. This is a detailed report basing its conclusions on
clear evidence of Smart Meter dangers.
The conclusions of the research team include the fact that Smart
Meters often may not even comply with Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) safety standards. And these standards in themselves are
insufficient for measuring smart meter radiation levels.
The report also outlines how FCC standards, set back in 1996, were based on studies with
healthy 6’2”, 220 lbs men exposed for short periods of time—very
different from the situation with Smart Meters, in which women,
children and people in fragile health are continuously exposed to the
radiation, often from more than one smart meter.
Furthermore, the regulations
only tested for thermal damage—and
the health risks researchers are finding are from non-thermal effects.
Also, other sources of radiation (such as Wi-Fi, cell phones, and other
wireless devices, all present in today’s homes) were not present in the
testing. For all these reasons, the report strongly cautions that smart
meters are not safe.
