Studies show indication that radio frequency (RF) Smart Meters emit is harmful to human health. There has been reported many cases of  concentration and memory problems, dizziness, heart palpitations, headaches, sleep disruptions, nausea, anxiety and behavioral problems in children. Children, same as with any case of EMF radiation, are especially vulnerable because they absorb greater rates of radiation than adults. Other risky categories are electrosensitive people, people with  pacemakers and chronically ill people whose immune systems are compromised.

Gas and electric companies are apparently unable to give consistent, believable answers about how frequently smart meter radiation is emitted-or what the peak power is of the radiation signal at certain distances. Some representative say the meters transmit RF six times a day; others, once an hour. Independent RF specialists have measured them every 45 seconds, or even twice in a minute.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has also studied the effects of Emf on human health. Their updated results are that, among other things, RF can significantly increase the risk of a glioma, a deadly brain tumor.

There are no official warning signs about health risks that come with a Smart Meter. But it seems advisable, that if you have been suffering from any unexplainable ailments since the installation of your Smart Meter, you might want to look into finding EMF protection against the RF emitted by the meter.

Leading author of the report stated that scientific evidence is sufficiently robust showing that cellular devices pose significant health risks to children and pregnant women. The weight of the evidence supports stronger precautionary regulation by the federal government. The cellular industry should take immediate steps to reduce emission of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from phones and avoid marketing their products to children.

Another coauthor of the report stated that the human brain is especially susceptible to numerous environmental insults that can produce irreversible damage during critical periods of nervous system development between conception and full maturity. A number of peer-reviewed studies reported changes in the nervous systems of rats, mice and humans following exposure to cell phone radiation. These include diminished learning, diminished reaction time, decreased motor function, reduced memory accuracy, hyperactivity and diminished cognition.

EHHI is warning that Cell phones have enjoyed exceptional freedom from government oversight and control to protect against health and environmental hazards before cell phone devices are marketed. There are no enforceable standards to limit human exposure to cell phone radiation. While the U.S. does not require any regulations to restrict advertising or warnings against use of cellular devices by pregnant women or children, many other nations do.

Report mentions that most cellphone users are unaware that new phones include warnings about the need to hold devices on a safe distance from the body, approximately five-eighths to one inch. Intensity of exposure falls exponentially as distance between the phone and body increases so therefore users can limit their exposure dramatically by using speakerphones or headsets.

Also, cellphones can create feelings of psychological dependency. There have been common effects reported in the literature and include distraction, isolation, hyperactivity, inability to focus on complex and long term tasks, and a heightened sense of anxiety.

Another serious concern of EHHI report’s authors is recycling of cell phones. In 2012 almost 220 million of cellphones will be discarded in the U.S., with fewer than 10 percent of these being recycled. This waste is especially hazardous when burned because of the release of dioxins from some plastic polymers, and diverse metals that do not break down.

EHHI summarizes that the government must take greater responsibility for testing cellular technologies before they are marketed to assure their safety, their proper disposal and to educate the public about safe patterns of use.

Here are some facts about cellphones that will help you to understand why it is so important to know all consequences of daily cellphone use:

- Did you know that cellphones have been exempted from having to meet specific safety compliance prior to consumer use. The only other product ever issued the same exemption was – cigarettes.
- Largest studies conducted on cellphone radiation impact on human health are funded by phone industry itself. The reason for this is that most governments have not made available funds for independent research. This means that self-regulated cellphone industry controls most important research, outcomes of those research, when and what of those results are to be published publicly.
- Microwave ovens and cellphones have one thing in common – they both operate using micro-waves. Microwave ovens use high power so heating of the human tissue can be detected; cell phones use low power and therefore heat may or may not be detected, although it is still undoubtedly there. The frightening fact is that human brain has no pain receptors to give any warning of pain or damage while your phone is being tightly pressed against your head, day after day.
- Many studies indicate that brain cancers are linked to cellphone use. However, contrary to popular belief, those are not the only diseases found to be linked to cell phone use. Based on the evidence of 100s of documented, duplicated, published and peer-reviewed scientific data from the global research efforts, world renowned scientists, biophysicists, epidemiologists and even industry-hired experts, over 50 adverse health effects have been linked to exposure. Some of those are nervous system abnormalities (such as headaches, memory loss, fatigue, concentration difficulties) but also other abnormalities as well such as impotence and erectile dysfunction, reduction in sperm count and sperm quality which leads to problems of infertility.
- Research has also indicated that long term use of cellphones (long term exposure to microwave radiation) might be even more harmful than adverse hazardous effects of smoking.

Cell phone is a great invention that keeps improving. Cell phones have become useful and advanced tools for most of the people on this planet. Cell phone companies are good and they are essentially doing what they are suppose to do – making money. The reason for so many contradicting facts regarding cellphone radiation and it’s impact on human health is that that cellphone industry is responsible for lots of information we hear about it. That is clearly a conflict of interest. Cell phone industry does not have vested interest in discovering what are the dangers of cell phone use. Even they put the warnings about microwave radiation in cell phone manuals. So caution is advisable. Use precautionary measures or/and cellphone protection products and EMF protection products. Protect your health.

Should we be alarmed? The answer is yes, alarmed and very cautious. While awaiting for greater transparency in cell phone radiation exposure to consumers which will help in raising EMF radiation awareness and hopefully bring better law regulations regarding cellphone industry, there are things everyone of us should practice to decrease individual exposure:

1. Encourage access to regular phone. This will help decrease time spent on communication via cellphone.
2. Keep cellphones away from your bodies. Day or night, the further your cellphone is from your body – the better.
3. Before making a call, unless it’s a case of real urgency, always look at signal bars on your cellphone first. If the signal is weak, it’s better to avoid making a call since your cellphone will emit more EMF to maintain the signal.
4. Use EMF protection devices.
5. Text more, call less. Although cellphones also emit EMF while texting it is significantly weaker and will produce a much lower exposure to EMF radiation comparatively to when cellphones are closer to head

- Remember – distance is your friend. Don’t keep your phones in your pockets or on a belt.
- Pregnant women should keep their cellphones away from their abdomen.
- Don’t allow your children to play with phones, or use them.
- When talking on a cellphone, use a headset or a handset whenever possible.
- If using the phone without a headset, wait for the call to connect before placing the phone next to the ear.
- Use EMF protection products. There are advanced EMF technologies available nowadays that strengthen your bioenergy field and immune system against the effects of EMF.
- Avoid use of cellphone in enclosed metal spaces (i.e.vehicles or elevators) where devices may use more power to establish connection. The metal enclosure also acts as a Faraday cage that traps the radiation and reflects it back onto the occupants.
- Purchase a phone with a low SAR (Specific Absorption Rate).

Although previous studies showed that cellphones are safe, today many believe those studies were premature.

All cell phones emit some amount of electromagnetic radiation.

There are two types of electromagnetic radiation: Ionizing radiation (such as Gamma rays and X-rays) and Non-ionizing radiation ( such as radio-frequency energy, visible light and microwave radiation).

Cellphones emit non-ionizing radiation, which is usually considered safe but there are some serious concerns on their long term effect on health. Non ionizing radiation (Radio Frequency Energy) has the ability to heat human tissue, much like the way microwave ovens heat food. At this point, cellphone radiation has been potentially linked with numerous serious  illnesses and changes in human tissue: cancer, brain tumors, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, fatigue, headaches, significant increases in brain glucose, changed synaptic transmission in the nervous system.

Considering the fact that there are more than 4.3 billion cellphone users worldwide and that great number of those are children who’s bodies absorb double the cellphone radiation as adults, long term effects of cellphone radiation to human health are yet to be seen on large scale.

Here are some tips on EMF protection and on what you can do to decrease cellphone or any other EMF radiation that you are exposed to on daily basis:

- Reduce use of cell phones

- Do not let your children use cell phones till at least 16 years old

- Switch to corded phone and wired internet

- Do not keep your cell phone close to bed

- Do not use your cell phone when poor reception

- Use EMF protection products

- Use Cell phone radiation protection products

Utilities companies in USA, Canada, Europe etc. have started implementing their plans of replacing all analog electric meters with the smart meters. The decision was made without any significant public consultation. Do we users have a choice? Cell phones are at least not mandatory. We users have a choice to decide if and what kind of cell phones we will use. When it comes to smart meters tho choice is to accept it  or to live of the grid. It should not be so.

Smart meters operate on the similar frequency to cell phones. This year the World Health Organization has classified cell phone frequency radiation  as carcinogenic (read here). In few years they might do the same with the smart meters. By then it will be too late. Smart meters will be part of most of the households in the western world.

The radiation exposure from the Smart Meters is constant. You can not switch them off and they are close to our homes where we and our children sleep, eat etc. How can we not have a choice?

The claims of the safety of Smart Meters are based on limited science and knowledge similar to the cell phones. As we know the debate about possible dangers of cell phones is still on. The one about Smart Meters is just starting. The scientific community is as usually divided. One of the world known scientist from Sweden – Dr. Johanson was compelled to write a letter to California Public Utility Commission putting his weight behind the claims of the Smart Meters health risks. You can see his elaborate letter here. Here is what some other scientists have said about the issue:

Smart meters use is unwise from both a public health point of view and also from a purely short and long term economic point of view. – David Carpenter MD, Director of the Institute for Health & the Environment, Albany, NY

In California big number of municipalities have banned Smart Meters or enacted resolution agains smart meters. In the landmark case in Maine Maine Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) found that it was an unjust and unreasonable practice for Central Maine Power Company (CMP) to refuse to permit residential and small commercial customers to opt-out of CMP’s smart meter program.

That is what we all should have, a choice to accept or opt out. Considering possible future health consequences smart meters should be a matter of choice not a mandatory decision made by our public utilities.
