‘Smart’ Meters

The radiation generated by ‘Smart’ Meters is the same type as generated by your mobile phone radio frequency radiation. Contrary to claims made by utility providers that the exposure is “low,” many ‘Smart’ Meters continuously emit RFR in millisecond blasts. These short bursts of radiation can be very powerful and far more harmful to human health than the microwave radiation of mobile phones.

Health Endangerment

1. Wireless ‘Smart’ Meters, when activated, emit intense, pulsed bursts of non-ionising, RF microwave radiation. More than 5,000 studies have shown that non-ionising microwave radiation/RF EMF is harmful to humans, animals and plants. Human, animal and cell culture studies indicate long-term systemic health effects from RF microwave radiation, including:

• Hormone disruption
• DNA damage
• Leakage of blood-brain-barrier
• Sperm count reduction and damage
• Sleep disorders
• Learning difficulties, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders
• Dementia
• Cancer including leukemia and brain glioma (tumours)

There is concern that pregnant women and children are particularly vulnerable to these harmful effects.

Symptoms reported by people immediately or shortly after ‘Smart’ Meters are installed and activated at their residences or in their communities include:

Sleep disturbances, rashes, hyperactivity, changes in children’s behaviour, high blood pressure, endocrine problems, thyroid problems, facial flushing, nausea, flu-like symptoms, body pain, leg cramps, cardiac symptoms, heart palpitations, heart arrhythmias, dizziness, fatigue, physical weakness, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, learning problems, ringing in the ears, headaches, and more. Learn more about electrical sensitivity and microwave sickness.

2. ‘Smart’ Meters can expose the body to over 100 times as much microwave radiation as mobile phones, were described in 2017 as “… a public health hazard” by Dr. Sam Milham and in 2012 The Board of The American Academy of Environmental Medicine called for a moratorium on ‘Smart’ Meters and continues to veto them today.

3. The ICNIRP safety standards which the UK Government and HPA continue to use fail to recognise the non-thermal, biological effects of microwave radiation. These standards were voted obsolete by the European Parliament, 522 to 16 votes – yet still remain in use in the UK.
