EMF Health Concerns Associated with RF Metering in California's Smart Grid
http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/view?id=7521070429
Microwave - and other forms of electromagnetic - radiation are major (but conveniently disregarded, ignored, and overlooked) factors in many modern unexplained disease states. Insomnia, anxiety, vision problems, swollen lymph, headaches, extreme thirst, night sweats, fatigue, memory and concentration problems, muscle pain, weakened immunity, allergies, heart problems, and intestinal disturbances are all symptoms found in a disease process the Russians described in the 70's as Microwave Sickness.
5. In the nation’s capital, the Federal Communications Commission finally heeded calls from EWG and others to take a fresh look at cell phone radiation standards it hadn’t touched since 1996, a span when cell phones went from an expensive novelty to a staple of daily life for adults and children alike. The scientific jury is still out on whether cell phone radiation poses a meaningful health risk, but there is plenty of reason to take the question seriously, and EWG offers practical advice on how to minimize your exposure.
