It is scientifically unacceptable to deny the mass of evidence regarding the increases in cancer and other adverse health effects in people exposed to pulsed radio frequency/microwave radiation such as that emitted by smart meters.
Website www.bioinitiative.org documents more than 2,000 pieces of research showing the negative health effects of radio frequency/microwave and electromagnetic radiation.
So far, 52 scientists and physicians from around the world have signed a document refuting the safety of smart meters.
The American Academy of Environmental Medicine has called for a moratorium on smart meters in homes and schools based on the documented health hazards of radio frequency/microwave radiation of smart meters.
The World Health Organization has categorized radio frequency radiation as a Class 2B carcinogen.
So far, 55 local governments in California, representing almost 4 million people, have passed ordinances that make smart meter installations illegal in their jurisdictions.
After being ordered by an administrative law judge to answer specific questions, a California utility disclosed that the average number of radio frequency pulses from their smart meters were about 14,000 a day and the maximum would be more than 190,000 pulses a day.
Smart meters raise power bills. They are not UL safety certified. They have caused fires and spy on us.
Yet, we have smart meters on Maui.
