Smart Meter Customers Say Devices are Making Them Sick Part 1

SEBASTOPOL, Calif. -- Some California coastal communities have placed moratoriums on Pacific Gas and Electric's SmartMeters after customers raised concerns about potentially harmful health effects.

Homeowners addressed the California Public Utilities Commission in September, asking the commissioners to place an emergency moratorium on PG&E's wireless gas and electric Smart Meters.

The CPUC told KCRA 3 that it has received more than 2,000 health-related complaints but said the health issues are not its jurisdiction and referred customers to the Federal Communications Commission and state health officials.

A Sebastopol-based group, the EMF Safety Network, studies the health impacts of electromagnetic fields and radio frequency radiation.
The group said it is collecting data that proves PG&E Smart Meters are hazardous to human health. http://www.kcra.com/station/25639450/detail.html

A number of the people who said they are getting sick said they suffer from a condition called electrical sensitivity or electromagnetic hypersensitivity, or EHS.
The World Health Organization said EHS is not a medical diagnosis.
However, people who claim to suffer from electrical sensitivity said their symptoms are very real.

"The trouble is, a lot of times, people don't connect the dots between their health symptoms and electrical exposure," Sandy Mauer with the EMF Safety Network said.
The WHO said there is no convincing scientific evidence that weak RF signals from wireless networks cause health problems.

SmartMeters emit about one watt, less than cell phones, which some research finds riskier because they are held to the head.

PG&E said its meters comply with federal safety standards.
"Radio frequency is all around us," Paul Moreno from PG&E said.
"SmartMeters are a very small measure of that. They are well within what you find with ordinary household appliances and far within FCC guidelines."
