Today our home quietly had two new additions of Gas/ Electric smart meters. Basically it is a meter that registers usage and sends it our power company like a cell phone. It sends out data every 15 minutes, so essentially it is on all day. 

I voiced my opinions to power company about EMF's to one rep, yet they told me they were unfamiliar about the issue I was addressing, and they would forward my issue to a appropriate department. No call back, and this was many weeks ago.

The good news is that for there to be a large biological impact -- a signal must be constant for at least 20 seconds, and with a single meter from an RF perspective that doesn't happen.  The bad news is that when you combine all of the meters within a neighborhood -- each transmitting every 15 minutes then the neighborhood electrosmog level is such that the signal becomes a constant and therefore a potential biological impact.
