"Smart" meters: Higher pulses of RF than a cell antenna

The FCC limit for public exposure to microwave radio-frequency radiation is about 600 microwatts per square centimeter *for thirty (30) minutes*, at the cell-phone and 'smart' meter range of frequencies. Perhaps people living over banks of meters should aim for a thirty-minute nightly bout of sleep.

These FCC levels are based solely on the heating effect of those levels, not on other biological effects. Numerous scientists and public health advocates have called for much, much lower levels of acceptable exposure, based on a long list of experimental and epidemiological studies showing clear effects at lower levels..

Technical information about measurement instrument: This high frequency analyzer has two (2) attenuators on the antenna, rendering it able to read much higher peak power density levels of RF, and changing the read-out units from microwatts per square METER to microwatts per square CENTIMETER. It reads RF in the 800 MHz to 3.0 GHz range.

It's paranoia driven by stupid shit like this video.

[thisirradiatedlife]

@MrsZambezi Thanks for your erudite comment. Paranoia is an interesting word---Means "knowing beyond" and that's what my analyzer allows me to do---know what can't be seen, the invisible radio-frequency microwaves around us, which are almost entirely unregulated.

Unless you've been made ill by RF microwave radiation, it's hard for some people to understand what the concern is. After you've been harmed, it's impossible to ignore.

None of you really understand anything about this video. Smart meters operate at 900MHz. Cell phones 850, 1700, 1900, and 2100. If you use an antenna tuned for 900 MHz, it is going to be sensitive to this frequency, and much less at say 1900. So those readings are not scientific, they are just random numbers. Lets see a screen shot from a spectrum analizer. Then you will see the truth, and understand that the energy from a smart meter is lower than your laptop computer or Ipad.

@ATVVideoProductions This analyzer measures all RF between 800 MHz and 3.0 GHz. By the sounds emitted, the source is easily discernible to me (after long experience). When I measure SMs I can hear if other sources are present (tho mostly SMs are so strong as to dwarf other sources completely).

PG&E SMs have, at the moment of radiation, 2.5W at their disposal. Your cell phone or WiFi uses LESS for their RF emissions than this.

Please do a video comparing a cell phone in use and a smart meter.

Good vid. So good that it has attracted the attention of the pro microwave troll.

[MrsZambezi]

@thisirradiatedlife Stop worrying and all your "symptoms" will disappear. The RF output of these things is tiny and perfectly safe.

Hey I am all for connecting the smart meters to telephone lines. That would make my employer, and employees very happy indeed.

[susanpitcairn]

THANK YOU!!! EXCELLENT and informative! As a resident of an Arizona town expecting these meters in 2013 we really appreciate the data, which contradicts the PR. Corroborated by knowledgeable scientists also. Just learned that Ontario Canada will switch your SM to the phone line, so that's the tack we will take, getting telephone workers union and maybe realtors and property owners with us. Who would want to try to rent out an apt next to a bank of these guys? May require class action suit.

@ATVVideoProductions- The point is that the WHOLE SPECTRUM of radiofrequencies is involved today, and their effects are cumulative.These readings are ENORMOUS. Using a 10 Mz to 8GHz meter, in our EMF all-wired small town home, it's mostly about .1 uW/m2; my laptop is 80-160; my cell phone in conversation, 30-66; our business district: 150-1600; her readings for two Smart Meters (converting her units to uW/m2): 8000 to 400,000! Good news: Ontario customers can now get SMs hooked to phone lines.

@petergonefar I unfortunately was able to experience the insomnia created by the nasty smart meter. I don't have one anymore and the symptoms are gone. You have no clue what you are talking about. Go to my page and watch my favorites before you reply. I meant to say the liver soaks up the ammonia created by the gut and other organs.

[petergonefar]

@2011so5 EMFs are non-ionizing. Many types of radiation can cause what is listed here, cell phones, smart meters, electrical pulses cannot.

Yet another video that shows why you should not believe half of the things you read on the internet, the poster of this video apparently does not understand the science behind the numbers being shown. Please, educate yourself before you start ranting, otherwise you drag others down with you on your paranoid quest to defeat a common sense improvement to our power grid. Smart Meters are better for consumers, and better for the environment.
