"Smart meter" technology is very
fast developing all around the world, but there are
differences how it is implemented in different countries.
There is no single good answer to the question how much
radiation will be added to our environment by this wireless
technology.
What the manufacturers and
electric utility companies say in public is that
independently of whether the meter is working
around-the-clock or whether it sends information
every-now-and-then, the
electro-magnetic field (EMF) exposures should be low and
comparable with other wireless technologies, such as wlan
exposures, or significantly lower than the consumers receive
from the operating cell towers.
This information is met with
great skepticism by persons considering themselves as
"sensitive" to EMF. Whether this skepticism is founded
remains to be seen because not all pertinent information is
publicly available.
At home, people meet a variety of
electro-magnetic fields emitted by different appliances
located inside and on outside homes. Not all EMFs are the
same. There are differences in frequency and modulation and
there are differences in power, the amount of energy emitted
by different EMF sources. Therefore, even though some EMF
sources emit similar radiation, like microwaves, the energy
that is emitted is very different.
Most of the exposures to
microwaves come from the use of cell phones. The more people
talk on the phone and the longer the conversations are, the
more radiation is absorbed by the brain.
The second source of exposure is
cell towers, but the exposures are 1/1.000 to 1/100.000 part
of the cell phone exposure. It means that the exposures are
minimal. The problem with cell tower exposure is that it is
happening 24/7.
Similar 24/7 exposures are in
some places with wlan networks and, in due time, exposures
to "smart meters" and their wireless networks.
An important distinction to
remember is that cell tower and wlan exposures have much
lower power as compared with cell phones.
What are the impacts of exposures
to people's health? At this time, we have no scientific
certainty. However, if the potential health effects are
confirmed by further research, these effects will surely
depend on quality and on quantity of the radiation absorbed
by the human body.
