Just because "smart meters" have been installed into
thousands of BC homes doesn't mean the controversy is going
away.
Last week, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM)
released a statement regarding side effects from the
exposure of to wireless radiofrequency radiation such as
that from "smart meters".
The AAEM is a health watchdog agency with a board consisting
of medical doctors who specialize in environmental medicine.
Their mandate is to protect people from health risks
associated with new and existing technology.
In their release they state that chronic exposure to
wireless radiofrequency radiation is a preventable
environment hazard and it has been documented well enough
now, that they want immediate action to stop them from being
used.
Much of the information from opponents about "smart meters"
to date has been missing the medical element, however the
AAEM release outlines some of the hazards.
According to the AAEM, the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) has based their decision to use "smart meters" on the
effect of thermal tissue damage from being heated by
extremely low frequency (ELF) radiation. The FCC has not
taken into consideration further data regarding metabolic
and genomic damage from ELF's as well. The release states
the damage to people accumulates over time.
AAEM says the FCC's guidelines are antiquated and skewed in
business' favour, that they need to consider all the medical
literature available.
The results of these diverse medical studies have focused on
the genetic and cellular aspects, hormonal effects, male
fertility, blood and brain barrier damage as well as an
increased risk of "certain types of cancer" caused by the
type of ELF given off by "smart meters".
They say children are particularly at risk for things like
altered brain development, impaired learning and behavioural
issues and that ELF's can have the same effect on people
that toxic chemicals do.
The AAEM is calling for a moratorium on "smart meters"
similar to a motion the Union of BC Municipalities put
forward September 30th last year.
But to date, moratoriums, medical studies and even meter
clamps can't stop BC Hydro's march forward with what seems
to be hazardous technology.
Who is to blame for this? Can you blame BC Hydro? No, you
can't blame them. They're just a business and have a mandate
to make money for their shareholders.
Should medical issues arise down the line, culpability and
negligence would clearly rest on the provincial government's
shoulders whose mandate is to protect citizens first.
Allowing medical professionals to stipulate policy when it
comes to environmental medicine makes common sense.
