“Smart” Meters for a “Smart” Grid

Utilities in all states have been replacing decades old but still perfectly functioning analogue meters with so-called Smart Meters on peoples homes for the purpose of wirelessly reading electricity use by sending radio frequency signals to neighboring houses which then are sent to local nodes and then to the local utility.
This creates a continuous
“Smart Grid” blanket of electromagnetic radiation in neighborhoods for
the purpose of efficient wireless transfer of household data on energy use to the main utility carrier for billing and data analysis.
The human meter readers are no longer needed to read the meters directly.
Although convenient and cheaper for utilities there have been a host of problems reported from privacy and security to serious health effects and fires.
Many residents have organized nationwide to educate others about these risks and pass legislation to allow residents to Opt Out of Smart Meters.

Convenience or Hazard?

Smart Meter placement seems to be a wonderful convenience, however, these meters use 2.4 GHz microwave (and 900 MHz) radiation for communications which is what our microwave ovens, Wi-Fi routers and other wireless devices use.
The Smart Meters are also on 24/7.
Although consultants average the electromagnetic radiation emitted, they do not take into account research showing that pulsed radio frequency radiation is harmful even at lower power.
It is the spikes of pulsed energy and not the average power density that causes the harm to cellular structures.
In addition the long term cumulative exposures have been found to be harmful and are not taken into consideration in the rollout of these devices .
Smart Meters can pulse up to 190,000 times a day.
The 2.4 GHz wireless technology frequencies pulse at 2.4 billion cycles per second. We evolved in the earth’s natural low magnetic field resonance of 7.83 Hz
(7.83 cycles per second) and are now exposed in almost every environment- home, work,
school and businesses-to continuous mix of manmade microwave frequencies.

Smart Meters and “Dirty Electricity”

Smart Meters placed on homes appear to have a particularly devastating effect on health as this pulsed non-ionizing radiation is transmitted through household wiring,
creating widespread local fields of what is termed dirty electricity
(Dirty electricity EMF Analysis)
Although aiming to connect wirelessly to our appliances and Internet of Things Appliances that are now being sold,
this disharmonic mix of frequencies from both wired and wireless sources can affect our biological functioning.
This is despite the fact that these levels are well below the ICNIRP Guidelines that are considered “safe”.

Sienkiewicz et al notes that with regards to research in this field,
“there is a crucial difference between epidemiology studies and laboratory work in terms of signals investigated:
most people are exposed to a complex mixture of frequencies and signals at varying intensities,
whereas the majority of animal studies have been performed using a single frequency or intensity.”
Are Exposures to Multiple Frequencies the Key to Future Radiofrequency Research?

Research on Smart Meters
Although there is a growing body of peer reviewed evidence that
wireless non-ionizing microwave electromagnetic radiation is harmful to all living organisms at high and low exposures and to all organ systems

there is virtually no research on Smart Meters themselves. Dr. Lamech, however, examined a government survey in Victoria,
Australia looking at symptoms development after smart meters were installed. One would expect adverse symptoms similar to electrosensitvity and this was confirmed by Frederica Lamech (2014).

She writes, “In 2006, the government in the state of Victoria, Australia, mandated the rollout of smart meters in Victoria, which effectively removed a whole population’s ability to avoid exposure to human-made high-frequency nonionizing radiation.
This issue appears to constitute an unprecedented public health challenge for Victoria. By August 2013,
142 people had reported adverse health effects from wireless smart meters by submitting information on an Australian public Web site using its health and legal registers.”

After removing any ineligible participants without confirmed address, she took a survey of symptoms reported after the smart meters were placed.
She found host of adverse physical health symptoms. These symptoms had a negative effect on these peoples lives in terms of normal functioning.
Notably only 8% of the 92 final group reported they had electrosensitivity prior to the installation of smart meters, which Dr. Lamech states, “…
points to the possibility that smart meters may have unique characteristics that lower people’s threshold for symptom development.” The most common reported symptoms were:

insomnia
headaches
tinnitus
fatigue
cognitive disturbances
dysesthesias (abnormal sensation)
dizziness

Research on EMR Exposure from Smart Meter: Within ICNIRP guidelines
All measurements done in the lab were well below ICNIRP reference level for the general public.
The issue that has been brought up by electrical engineers in that the radiofrequency radiation that ravels from the Smart Meter also apparently travels through the wiring of the house setting up an electromagnetic field in all of the electrical wiring.
This could account for the symptoms felt by many when Smart Meters are placed.
