Smart meters and wireless health issues:
Overview Independent research clearly shows there are potentially serious negative health effects from electromagnetic or wireless radiation – and at a much lower intensity than what a smart meter radiates.  So Wi-Fi, Wireless Internet Routers, DECT (wireless home phones), Smart Devices (Tablet and Phones) are included. Despite assurances from most governments and power companies, there are now thousands of published scientific studies which indicate that the proliferation of smart grid radiation could potentially be catastrophic for all organic life. Pressured by a mounting of scientific evidence, finally in 2011 the World Health Organization classified this type of radiation as a Class 2B possible carcinogen.

With respect to symptomatic results with smart meters to date, thousands have already reported serious health problems since the installation of smart meters in their homes, apartments or places of business.

We worked with an independent environmental consultant who tested a room of  smart meters in Vancouver, British Columbia.  The result was a radiation level 198 times higher* than threshold for “extreme concern” set by the international Building Biology guidelines.  As in our measurements, radiation has been confirmed and measured time and again as pulsing every several seconds, again blatantly contrary to statements made by governments and utilities.

*smart meters tested at 198,000 microwatts/m2, at a distance ranging from 2 to 6 feet.  The Building Biology guidelines list 1,000 microwatts/m2 as the threshold for “extreme concern”. See our list of some key published research, summarizing hundreds of peer-reviewed published papers, on the right.Medical Statements:

There has been growing concern about the possibility of adverse health effects resulting from exposure to radiofrequency radiations (RFR), such as those emitted by wireless communication devices.

Local exposure of the rat cortex to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields increases local cerebral blood flow along with temperature.
Few studies have shown that local exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF) induces intensity-dependent physiological changes, especially in the brain. The aim of the present study was to detect reproducible responses to local RF exposure in the parietal cortex of anesthetized rats and to determine their dependence on RF intensity.

Effects of extremely low-frequency magnetic field on growth and differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells, Electromagn Biol Med.
Eggs of Fasciola hepatica were exposed for 10 days to extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELFMF) at the frequency of 50 Hz and density of 2 mT (rms). The results show an accelerated hatching of F. hepatica eggs in relation to control (non-exposed) group.

Extremely Low-Frequency Magnetic Field Decreased Calcium, Zinc and Magnesium Levels in Costa of Rat.
Electromagnetic field (EMF) can affect cells due to biochemical change followed by a change in level of ions trafficking through membrane. We aimed to investigate possible changes in some elements in costa of rats exposed to long-term extremely low-frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF). Rats were exposed to 100 and 500 μT ELF-MF, which are the safety standards of public and occupational exposure for 2 h/day during 10 months.

Sleep after mobile phone exposure in subjects with mobile phone-related symptoms.
Several studies show increases in activity for certain frequency bands (10-14 Hz) and visually scored parameters during sleep after exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields. A shortened REM latency has also been reported.

Scientists Urge Halt of Wireless Rollout and Call for New Safety Standards: Warning Issued on Risks to Children and Pregnant Women

Clinical & Hygienic Aspects of Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields.
The early research was taken very seriously in the US and in Russia. And then it was put in a room and the door was closed during the Cold War years. This entire area was considered a threat to national security, with shades of mind control lurking in some circles, including the microwaving of the US embassy in Moscow. There were several commissions set up to investigate, including The Tri-Service Commission with reps from the Us Air Force, Army & Navy. We see the reverberations still today.

Brief synopsis of the dangers of emf’s and mobile phone masts and how they can affect our health
Currently The National Radiation Protection Board (NRPB) produce guidelines (set in 1993) which provide us with supposedly safe levels of radiation – levels, however, which are considerably higher than other countries where research into this subject has led to a number of scientists and scientific bodies significantly reducing their exposure levels. The magnitude of the gulf in thinking between the NRPB and other scientific bodies/governments is alarming. It is difficult to imagine how the NRPB can continue to maintain that an investigative exposure level of 10000W/cm2 (100W/m2) is safe when in 1995 the New Zealand Environment Court (as the Planning Tribunal) in the case of MacIntyre vs. BellSouth set a level of 2W/cm2 as a precautionary approach – a level 5000 times less than that set by the NRPB!

RadarPeople first became exposed to the radiofrequency radiation that radar equipment emits in the 20th century. Radar was primarily used by the military at first, but in peace-time, radar emissions have been mainly from airports and seaports, with some Ministry of Defence establishments adding to local environmental exposure.

Radar emissions travel some considerable distance in order to communicate with their intended recipients (aeroplanes, ships, control towers, etc). The power is high at transmission to carry such distances, and in fact only fall to levels of 1 V/m at the following distances (all approximate, and assuming free-space radiation):

1.0 kW DME on aircraft and at airfields 210 m
25 kW marine radars (both fixed and ship-borne) 850 m
100 MW ship harbour radars 55 km
1 GW air traffic control and weather radars 170 km
10 GW some military radars 550 km Read more

Experts Comment on Smart Meter Health Effects:“The notion that non-ionizing radiation is harmless – the assumption of innocence – is no longer tenable. Research findings suggest that radiofrequency exposures are potentially carcinogenic and have other health effects. Therefore, prudent avoidance of unneeded exposures is recommended as a precautionary measure.” John R. Goldsmith, M.D., M.P.H.,  TV Broadcast Towers and Cancer: The End of Innocence for Radiofrequency Exposures,  American Journal of Industrial Medicine 32:689-692 (1997)    http://www.wirelessimpacts.org/publicpolicy.html 

 “…we are creating a potential time bomb. If smart meters are placed on every home, they will contribute significantly to our exposure and this is both unwise and unsafe”  Havas report on smart meters for California Council  on Science and Technology, January 17, 2011   http://www.magdahavas.com/2011/01/18/havas-report-on-smart-meters-for-ccst/ 

“… no positive assertion of safety can be made … currently, the data made available by the utilities that are installing smart meters is non-existent, piecemeal and without sufficient basis to verify.” Sage report on radio-frequency (RF) exposures from smart meters, February, 2011   http://sagereports.com/smart-meter-rf/?page_id=460

“… All transmitters inside your home or office will communicate with a Smart Meter attached to the outside of each building. That meter, in turn, will transmit at an even higher frequency to a central hub installed in local neighborhoods. In what are called “mesh networks,” signals can also be bounced from house-meter to house-meter before reaching the final hub. So exposures will not just be from your own meter, but accumulating from possibly 100-to-500 of your neighbors’ as well… That’s a hefty barrage of radiation.” – from “The Problems With Smart Grids” by B. Blake Levitt and Chellis Glendinning, Mar 18 2011  http://www.energybulletin.net/stories/2011-03-23/problems-smart-grids

“…..When the chart is corrected to reflect the same units of measurement, it appears that smart meters are at least 100x more powerful than cell phones, which are increasingly being linked with brain tumors.”   Dan Hirsch,  UC Santa Cruz Nuclear Policy expert,  21 Apr 2011  http://stopsmartmeters.org/2011/04/20/daniel-hirsch-on-ccsts-fuzzy-math/

“It’s one thing to be on a cell phone for one hour per day, but if you are exposed to smart meter or a cell tower, you are exposed 24/7 so the effect is cumulative.” Henry Lai, PhD, Professor, Bioelectromagnetics Research Laboratory, Dept. of Bioengineering, University of Washington (Seattle)  http://www.earthisland.org/journal/index.php/elist/eListRead/emf_concerns_causing_smart_grid_interference/ 

“We have evidence…that exposure to radiofrequency radiation…increases the risk of cancer, increases damage to the nervous system, causes electrosensitivity, has adverse reproductive effects and a variety of other effects on different organ systems.  There is no justification for the statement that Smart Meters have no adverse health effects. ……An informed person should demand that they be allowed to keep their analog meter”   Dr. David Carpenter, a Harvard Medical School-trained physician who headed up the New York State Dept. of Public Health for 18 years before becoming Dean of the School of Public Health at the University of Albany, where he currently directs the Institute for Health and the Environment  http://nosmartmeters.blogspot.com/…/public-health-physician-warns-of-smart.html

   “The duration of the radiation seems to be more important than its strength, with the effects being cumulative as more and more cells are damaged. …….Diem et al. (2005) also found that the effect on DNA damage was still greater if the microwaves were pulsed or modulated to carry information (modulation involves sudden stops and starts of the signal, which are even more damaging).   Smart meters, which operate 24/7 and radiate modulated microwaves intermittently, can therefore be expected to be particularly harmful to DNA.”  Dr. Andrew Goldsworthy, Lecturer in Biology (retired), Imperial College London “How Smart Meters May Cause Autism And Cancer”, July 2011  http://www.foodsmatter.com/es/dect_smart_meters/articles/smart_meters_autism_2011_goldsworthy.pdf

“Who can support that the constitution, any constitution of any country should allow installations to take place (as the one with Smart Meters) against the rights for health of the citizens”. Professor Lukas H. Margaritis, National and Kapodistrian, University of Athens, Faculty of Biology, Department of Cell Biology & Biophysics, Electromagnetic Biology Laboratory  http://www.ccst.us/projects/smart2/documents/letter20.pdf

“Cells in the body react to EMF’s as potentially harmful, just like any other environmental toxins, including heavy metals and toxic chemicals. The DNA in living cells recognizes electromagnetic fields at very low levels of exposure; and produces a biochemical stress response. …. The science is very strong and we should sit up and pay attention”  Dr. Martin Blank, Associate Professor, Department of Physiology and Cellular Biophysics, Columbia University,  quoted in  “Radiofrequency Radiation: The Invisible Hazards of “Smart” Meters “ by Dr. Ilya Sandra Perlingieri   http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=26082″ http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=26082   

“It should be noted that we are not the only species at jeopardy, practically all animals and plants may be at stake……the inauguration of smart meters with grudging and involuntary exposure of millions to billions of human beings to pulsed microwave radiation should immediately be prohibited…” Olle Johansson, PhD., Dept. of Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute, Sweden: “Open Letter on SmartMeters”   http://sunroomdesk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Olle-Johansson-The-California-Council-on-Science-and-Technology-response.pdf

“The question for governmental agencies, especially those concerned with public health and safety, is that given the uncertainty, should we err on the side of safety and take the precautionary avoidance measures? Unknown does not mean safe. ….Governmental agencies for protecting public health and safety should be much more vigilant towards involuntary environmental exposures because governmental agencies are the only defense against such involuntary exposure. Given the uncertainty of the SmartMeter safety, one rational first step of public policy could be to require household consent before installation of SmartMeters. Finally, because of the nature of universal exposure, many susceptible and vulnerable populations including pregnant women and young children are unknowingly exposed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Usually, the threshold of harmful level is much lower for susceptible populations.” Dr. De-Kun Li, Research Scientist, Kaiser Permanente Division of Research, Oakland California;  Lecturer, Stanford University, Department  of Health Research and Policy.  HYPERLINK http://www.citizensforsafetechnology.org/Dr-DeKun-Li-Letter-re-Smart-Meter-Safety,5,1298
