- A new report published by the American Academy of Environmental Medicine raises concerns about radio frequency (RF) exposure from smart meters and other devices.
- The report, titled "Electromagnetic and Radiofrequency Fields Effect on Human Health," cites studies and claims that proof exists that "electromagnetic frequencies, including radio frequencies, can negatively impact human health."
- The AAEM ultimately asks for "immediate caution on Smart Meter installation due to potentially harmful RF exposure," as well as the use of "safer technology, including for Smart Meters, such as hard-wiring, fiber optics or other non-harmful methods of data transmission."
From the article:
Let’s start out by noting that the field of “environmental medicine/clinical ecology” has its critics, and that it’s not recognized as a medical specialty by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
That said, the battle over the safety of smart meters ratcheted up a notch last week, after the American Academy of Environmental Medicine released a report titled “Electromagnetic and Radiofrequency Fields Effect on Human Health” – calling for “an immediate caution on Smart Meter installation due to potentially harmful RF (radiofrequency) exposure” and “accommodation for health considerations regarding EMF (electromagnetic field) and RF exposure, including exposure to wireless Smart Meter technology.” ...
