Comparing "Smart" Meter RF Emissions to Cell Phones (Whole-Body Exposure)

[bassicwill]

Hello, the meter being held here isn't the issue!!

[SmartMeteResistance]

If they install a new smart meter cover the meters with aluminum foil and it will stop transmitting the RF radio signals that make people sick.

@BrighitN My power company put the old analog meter on my house! It costs an extra $20 per month but at least I don't have a class 2b carcinogen pulsing every 6-20 seconds throughout my living area.

[2011so5]

@joey8404 You might want to look up "Radio Wave Sickness" and see if you or your friends have any of these symptoms.

Thanks for your comment on my Smart Meter youtube video. EMF intensities follow the inverse square law with higher intensities at the source. Most people hold cell phones to their head. When testing RF intensities I think its more representative to test very close to the cell phone. In every test I have done on analog and digital cell phones they give off significantly higher RF than 200 micro watts per Square Meter.

[BrighitN]

@2011so5 are there other locations or situations you feel RF in daily wanderings (like stores or buses or movies??

It might be that going 'off grid' is the answer. The utility is unlikely to supply power without measuring it - so supply your own and toss the meter!

[2011so5]

@BrighitN I have owned a cell phone since 1995. At antennasearch, it tells me there are 60 cell towers and 814 antennas located within a 4 mile radius of my home. My body has had enough of this radiation and is simply reacting. I do get headaches while driving and can detect when close to a tower. My kids have the same symptoms and complain of headaches often. It's only a matter of time before you also will be affected. The power company doesn't have to read a meter via wireless communication.

Another point... another major, major exposure mitigation is due to the duration of the pulses being far too short. Just as you cannot heat water in a microwave oven using 1 second pulses every ten minutes (try it!), you cannot thermally damage cells with infrequent 10 ms pulses of the levels these meters emit.

[2011so5]

@gflammer It's the short pulsed data packet that effects the cell. They emit these pulses every 6 to 20 seconds 24/7 throughout your home at head level. We are concerned with our cells and their reaction to this type of radiation. Check out my favorites to see what is going on inside a cell and videos about the scientist that was paid $28 million from the cell phone companies to do research. They didn't like what he found. Went into hiding for 5 years after someone burnt his house down.

[BrighitN]

@2011so5  Well, it seems to me that one would not let ones wife sleep a foot away from something one considers so dangerous. Might everyone sleep better if one moved the bed a bit?

[gflammer]

A few neglected points...

1) Each meter pulse is a few milliseconds in duration (2 to 10). Note that 195 seconds is the average length of a cell call.

2) In free space, energy declines by the *square* of the distance. No one places their head next to a Smart Meter.

With daily SM exposure 400x less than one average cell call and another 10x because one *cannot* put the meter against ones body... 4000x

We all need to do very good science else we risk discrediting the entire debate.

The RFLAN transmitters in Itron OpenWay smart meters operate at 902-928MHz.

The ZigBee transmitters in Itron OpenWay smart meters operate at 2,400 – 2,483.5 MHz

Which frequency band were you monitoring?

[thisirradiatedlife]

@farnorthglendale My analyzer measures the peak power density for RF emissions in the 800MHz to 2.5GHz range, without differentiating which frequency is the source. So, it picks up cell phones, and smart meters, and wifi (none in this video), as well as cell antennas (none strong enough to pick up here).

I have two attenuators on the analyzer, changing sensitivity. Out of the box it measures µW/m2. The attenuators make it less sensitive by a factor of 10K, changing the unit to µW/cm2.

[farnorthglendale]

@thisirradiatedlife Thanks for the reply. Reason I'm asking is because I'm only familiar with one smart meter, the Itron OpenWay. Each meter contains two xmitters, one for the RFLAN mesh network, and one for communicating with ZigBee-equipped appliances etc. inside the home. So if your range is 800MHz to 2.5GHz, you could be seeing transmissions from both.

FYI, the Itron RFLAN xmit power is spec'ed at 304.09 mW @ 902.25 MHz, and the ZigBee xmit power is spec'ed at 78.34 mW @ 2,475 MHz

[thisirradiatedlife]

@farnorthglendale Well, in PGE territory, there are ZERO people using the HAN/zigbee system, so no matter whose house I'm measuring at, all transmissions are very likely meter-to-network, not in-home.

[2011so5]

For all that think rf radiation is harmless, I have an experiment for you. Every time you go to a Burger King or any fast food resteraunt. Ask the person that is wearing a chordless headset, "do you get headaches often?". I know what the answer is because I have made a habit of asking.

[joey8404]

@2011so5 never understood why my ear keeps hurting and why i keep getting ear aches

[2011so5]

@joey8404 Could also be due to holding a wireless video game controller. They emit as much as a cell phone.

[joey8404]

@2011so5 i mean i work at a dunkin donuts and we have wireless headsets tht annoy everyone in the head ache ear ache way :/

[2011so5]

@joey8404 I feel bad for you and everyone that is forced to wear these headsets. If you watch my favorites you will see why the headaches are happening. I was going to make a video showing quick intervues with people, in your line of work, asking if they get headaches often. Maybe you could do one?

[Tradleystinfo]

@ thisirradiatedlife: The HFmeter from GigaHertz measures in µW/m² - not µW/cm² - am I not right? I own one myself..

[thisirradiatedlife]

@Tradleystinfo Thanks for the comment. This analyzer has TWO (2) 20db attenuators on the antenna, changing the sensitivity by a factor of 10,000 (less sensitive). That moves the decimal point over 4 places to the right. And that happens to be the difference between microwatts per meter squared and microwatts per centimeter squared.

[muddspike]

So what are safe limits ?

[thisirradiatedlife]

@muddspike There is controversy about safety. A group of scientists recently set it at 0.1 microwatt/square centimeter. That's because there are decades of animal studies and epidemiology (that where they look at people in the real world) that shows biological effects at low levels. The Federal Communications Commission recognizes no harmful effect until you reach a hopping 580 microwatts/square centimeter. That's when you begin to cook (heating effect on tissue). See links in notes above.

[WakeUpSleepIsDeath]

@muddspike Below 0.1µW/m² for HF and below 0.01V/m for LF (!!).

THANK U

[VideoGuyNC]

One notable fact one must keep in mind here though. People aren't (or shouldn't be) pressing their heads against a smart meter. And, the pulses from cell phones are MUCH more frequent.

[BanjoConspirocy]

@VideoGuyNC take note that my wifes head is roughly 8 inches from the meter on the other side of the wall from where she sleeps. And we dont use cell phones or have wireless.

[BrighitN]

@BanjoConspirocy Well, it seems to me that one would not let ones wife sleep a foot away from something one considers so dangerous. Might everyone sleep better if one moved the bed a bit?

[2011so5]

@BrighitN Unfortunately the meter is also trying to communicate with "smart appliances" throughout your home. These pulses are very strong. I now have to sleep, on the couch, in my living room. I still wake up but it's a little better than the feeling I get in my bedroom. If I sleep in my bed it feels like someone hit me on the head with a hammer.

[BanjoConspirocy]

@BrighitN The point is, buddy , I shouldnt have to do that. I should have the FUCKING CHOICE TO NOT HAVE ONE ON MY HOUSE!!!

[BrighitN]

@BanjoConspirocy Well, it seems to me that one would not let ones wife sleep a foot away from something one considers so dangerous. Might everyone sleep better if one moved the bed a bit?

[kizward]

Wow thanks for the vid..Do u know what the RF on Androids are?..thanks again
