Potentially caused by:
Internet of Things (IoT) appliances Smart phones and Bluetooth technologies
Wi-Fi routers, 3G (UMTS), 4G (LTE) and 5G Cordless phones and headsets
Tablets, laptops and printers Mice and keyboards Gaming devices, virtual reality
Baby monitors “Smart” hearing aid
How to mitigate dangerous EMF from wifi devices:
Community Level Electropollution
Macro cell towers 5G small cells Satellites Wireless access points Utility smart meters
Utility “Smart” Meters Hazards Explained:
>Some pulse radiation continuously
>Can hop on house wires/pipes
>Fires, explosions, improper grounding
>Data harvesting, privacy issues
>Leading cause of sudden onset
>EMR Syndrome
>Environmental justice/Worcester
>TedX Talk
>Jeromy Johnson, engineer
>TedX Talk: Dr. Alexia McKnigh
What Can We Do?
➢ Do nothing, keep vigilant for signs/symptoms.
➢ Do not use bedroom adjacent to broadcasting meters (consider bed canopy)
➢ Ask Utility whether a safer ‘opt-out’ meter is available, aim for not radiating
➢ Ask Utility whether they can relocate any broadcast antenna
➢ Ask Utility if you can upload a monthly photo of reading
➢ Surround/redirect/shield antennas to protect living space
➢ Consider weaning from natural gas use, thus no gas meter
➢ Consider drilling a well, thus no water meter
➢ Move electric meter to pedestal in the yard (facing away)
➢ Reduce ‘dirty electricity’ exposure from main electrical service (gas and water
meters don’t connect to house’s wiring) UNFORTUNATELY – For Apartment Dwellers, there are fewer options, bank of meters
➢ Public engage
