MONTREAL,\u00a0Sept. 24, 2012\u00a0\/CNW Telbec\/ – Children may particularly be at risk of developing electromagnetic hypersensitivity or diseases such as cancer from overexposure to radiofrequency(RF)\/microwaves emitted by smart meters and other wireless devices, say 54 experts who have authored hundreds of peer-reviewed studies on the health effects of electromagnetic fields.<\/p>\n

“Adverse neurological effects have been reported in people who sustain close proximity to wireless meters, especially under 10 feet,” says an open letter recently endorsed by the experts from 20 countries, including Yury Grigoriev, Chair of the Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.<\/p>\n

Entitled\u00a0“Smart Meters: Correcting the Gross Misinformation”<\/b>, the letter written by Dr\u00a0David Carpenter, founder of the University at\u00a0Albany\u00a0School of Public Health, states\u00a0notably:<\/p>\n

“Wireless smart meters typically produce\u2026 millisecond-long RF bursts on average 9,600 times a day with a maximum of 190,000 daily transmissions\u2026 People in proximity to a smart meter are at risk of significantly greater aggregate of RF\/microwave\u00a0exposure than with a cell phone, not to mention the cumulative exposure received by people living near multiple meters mounted together,\u00a0pole-mounted routers or utility collector meters using a third antenna to relay RF signals from 500 to 5,000 homes.”<\/p>\n

“Many scientists and medical experts urgently recommend that measures following the Precautionary Principle be applied immediately \u2014 such as using wired meters \u2014 to reduce biologically inappropriate microwave exposure.”<\/p>\n
