"Groups such as, The AmericanAcademy of Environmental Medicine(AAEM), an international organization representing physicians who specialize in Environmental Medicine issued the following recommendations listed below in their 2012 position paper, "Electromagnetic and Radiofrequency Field Effect on Human Health. The AAEM calls for: •Immediate caution on smart meter installation due to potentially harmful RF exposure •Accommodation for health considerations regarding EMF and RF exposure, including exposure to wireless smart meter technology •Independent studies to further understand the health effects from EMF and RF exposure •Use of safer technology, including for smart meters,such as hard-wiring,fiber optics, or other non- harmful methods of data transmission •Recognition that electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a growing problem worldwide •Understanding and control of this electrical environmental bombardment for the protection of society •Consideration and independent research regarding the quantum effects of EMF and RF on human health" https://www.sem.org/publications/tipsheet/many-are-claiming-health-problems-caused-smart-meters: "The concepts sound good to many people, but serious flaws are becoming apparent as utilities rapidly install smart meters across the country, according to a rising chorus of critics.They are concerned about privacy(since they say utilities can interpolate many behavioral aspects of building occupants via the detailed reporting of utility use),security(since any utility's system could be hacked),and accuracy(with reports of very inaccurate readings from a small percentage of meters). Each of these issues warrants investigation and coverage. Another major issue is possible human health impacts from smart meters.That is the focus of the remainder of this Tip.
